of the local churches. and for which the
bells are rung anywhere between 5 and G
a. m. When these peop'a are distributed
among two or more denominations the
average attendance is small, and as a rule
confined TO those who make it a practice
CT attending such services, so therefore
these people Go not need any reminder
of the fact that such services are being
held. The majority of the toWnfolk are
not out between 5 and 6 in the morning
and it stands to reason that the ringing
of church bells can have no significance
for them in the sense it is done. How
ever, this is not intended as any offense
to the churches nor to those few persons
who enjoy the distinction Of being arOus-
ed by the church bells. AS tor the police
regulations they are certainly indefinite
on the subject, and it was claimed that
they prohibited the ringing of bells at
any time. These archaic rules state that
the church bells may be rung on Easter
morning before 5 a. n. and al night ser.
vices on Christmas and New Years Eve,
so the ringing of the church bells may
be expected at all hours for that matter,
apart from when it serves as a fire alarm.

ANNUAL REPORT
of the Governor Of the Virgin Is
lands to the President of the Uni

Continued from ye8terdag's AVj8.)
1t is desirable to give the children Of
the Islands a thorough grammar school
education and the work is progressing to
the satisfaction of the Government, but
it is hoped that in the near future Con-
gress will see the wisdom of appro-
priating funds for an industrial school,
1t is believed that such a school is a vital
necessity toward the economic progress
of the Islands. The young people of the
Islands are constantly emigrating to con
tinental United States in search of en-
ployment. Some are untitled for Iucra-
tive employment so that an industrial
school would be of great benefit in train
ing them for such employment.
LOCAL BENEFICIAL LEGISLATION.
The more important e~nactments of the
local Colonial Councils during the year,
were the authorization of a demonstra-
ton Farm in the Island of st. CrOIX and
the creation of the Agricultural Fund in
the Municipality of Saint Thomas and
Saint John.
Both of these enactments are in line with
the Governments policy of attempting to
solve some Of the fundamental economic
problems of the Islands by encouraging
the development Of agricultural pursuits.
In the belief that vegetables can be
profitabIy raised in the Virgin Islands
during the winter months, for shipment
TO the United States, the Government is
attempting to encourage the farmers 10

The funds provided for the Demonstra-
ton Farm in St. Croix will permit about
fourteen acres of land to be turned into a
vegetable garden fer demonstration pur-
poses and it Is believed that much good
will result therefrom.
In St. Thomas an imprest fund, known
as the Agricultural Fund, has been appro-
priated. Control of this fund is vested
in a Board Of Control and its purpose is
to assist the farmer in the preparation Of
his crops for marketing and in the &C
tual marketing.
GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT.
The office Of the Government Secretary
of the Virgin Islands Of the United
States is the principal executive office in
the Virgin Islands, where the business of
the Governor is conducted. In addition,
it is charged, by law and regulations, with
a number OF other important duties. a..
mOng them being the registration OF pa,
tents and trademarks, the promulgatlon'
of laws, the issuarce Of passports and OF
licenses and the handling Of immigration,
Principal among the duties OF this office
is that of Financial Adviser to the Gov
ernor. The Accounting Office Of the Cir

ton fundamentally sound and econ

interest in it and one that will bring
great good to the farming interests
of Arizona" said Dickerson, telling OF
the plans he is intending to work
out. "In the first place, this is a
proposition that by the very force
OF it's operation will place the Arizona
produce first with Arizona people and
will cut off that tremendous flow OF
truck that every year IS brought
from other states while the truck
grown by our local people rots IN
the field from lack of favorable

one that will bring about mutual
interest between farmer and retail
merchant and will also bring to the
farmer an outside market favorable
to his excess product qafe
The plan which Dickerson is pro-
noting calls for a large central mar
ket at Phoenix laid out with the
purpose of handling the entire output
of growers to the best advantage. 1t
would call for the construction of
