LARGE CITIES OF. BRAZIL.

If were to say to you, ''St Paul is the second largest city of Brazil" ," you might suppose I was making mistake and you might ask, Don't you mean that St Paul is the second largest city in Minne- sota ?" l Sure enough, St Paul ranks sec ond in size in Minnesota; but Sac Paulo is the second city in Brazil, and "Sao Paulo" Is the Portuguese way of saying "St Paul."
 Sac Paulo is located in the chief coffee growing district of Brazil.
 One hundred and seventy years ago, the seeds of the coffee plant were brought to Brazil. Today the state of Sac Pallo (which contains the city of the same name) pro- duces more than 1,000,000,0 900 pounds of coffee per year. Brazil produces far more coffee than all the rest of the countries in the world combined.
 Rio de Janeiro, the capital and largest city of Brazil, has beauu- full location. On one side is the sshore of a curving bay, and be- hind the city are mountains. The people of Rio de Janeiro take pEkuc HI hCCPAhb thCAA SAty hAOuC%h 1T in every respect" There are fine public buildings. Thousands of motor cars roll over the well-paved | reets.
 Rio de Janeiro contains more than 1.1500,000 inhabitants. Next to Buenos Aires, capital of Argen- tine, 1t is the largest city in South America.
 The third city of Brazil in Bahia the home of about 300,000 per- sons.
 Brazil is a republic. made up of 20 states. one territory and a dis trict set aside for the capital. A president is elected once in four years. Close to half of all the land in South Amer a is within the bor- ders of Brazil. If the continent of Australia could be lifted from the ocean and carried to South Ameri- ca, it would not cover Brazil. In 1928, the population of Brazil was estimated at 37,000,000.
