Strikingly and realistically present
to the 'class rooms used by the

In Porto Rico.
There, in the Ballaja, an ancient

-’A 'When Coiouet G. H. Estes, coin-
meadfng dffleer of the post, dridded
that the Porto Rican personnel under
him needed a little more general edu-
cation, he enconatered some difficulty
in fnting suitable quarters for the
school. Virtually aO. the inhabitable
rooms in El Motto fortress and the
adjacent brandings were m use as of
.Tflcee and barracks. There remained,

party had to be satisfied with portions
for needs no longer pressing. The so-
lution was—cell rooms."
“Entering the sally-port,” Smith
continues, ‘‘where in the old days the
guard itself was quartered, and turn
ing right, within the pation, one
comes first upon the solitary confine-
ment cells. The party did not pause
long before these, as School boys,
and even soldier pupils, need more
inspiration than these rooms could
afford.
Cells for Officers
“Next there was found the cell
room reserved by the Spanish for the
confinement of sergeants. And abreast
of it, nicely done in afront of iron,
was the separate room for the con-
finement of corporals. Thereafter,
sepa rated from the more exclusive
cells of the noii-commissioaed offi-
cers by several storerooms and
stalls in which ,the choTgers of field
officers were bedded down, were the
oells into whi'ch the guard was ac-
customed to escort lowly privates
who had dffendtd.- Still further on
were several ot§er*cell rooms, probly
reserved for any overflow.”
These latter rooms were finally se-
lected. They were large, had -plenty
of windows and good ventilation
they were scrubbed and painted a«d
generally made useful for school pur-
poses, although “doors of heavy steel
bars still swing to and fro at the
entaaaces; sunshine entering at the
windows still etches perpendicular
parallel lines on the wails; iron
hooks still remain here and there in
the masonry to recall the hammocks
that had swung therefrom for the re-
pose of night lodgers, and well worn
stone floors - remain to-bring in minds
picture of former restlessness by
day.”
HOW LONG CAN IT LAST?
Farmers and business men of the
United States are confronted with a
staggering burden .of local taxation,
administered too frequently under act
unsound system which makes it easy
to get .Into debt and difficult to con-
trol expenditure. Figures Recently
prepared shoV that we are spending
for taxes annually a sum equal to
half our savings banks deposits.
Taxes cost us an amount ^ greater
than the value of all crops raised on
opr 6,500,000 farms using 340,000,000
cksgcrora route of any mailman. He’s shown being sworn in bj

in the -world, if turned over to our
State Governments, would just about
meet their expenditures for one year.
While we are the largest producers
of foodstuffs and cotton in the world,
the value of both crops, if turned
over to the local subdivisions of the
states, cities, towns, counties and
townships, would not meet their rev-
enue requirements for last year.
We lead all nations in industrial
production, but the net income of all
manufacturing corporations In Our
Country is not equal to the combined
expenditure of state and local gov-
ernment. Neither would all the
money in corculation in the United
States pay their bills for last year.

Everyone Can Afford To Use Gas
WE ARE VITALLY INTERESTED IN THE SALE OF GAS AND TO THAT EXTENT WE WANT TO MAKE
IT POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE TO USE IT AND STILL NOT UNDERGO A HARDSHIP FINANCIALLY
THROUGH THE NECESSITY OF HAVING TO PAY CASH FOR THEIR PIPING AND APPLIANCES.
YOU CAN GET YOUR SERVICE PIPE RUN, PIPE YOUR HOME, BUY YOUR STOVES AND PAY
25V OF THE TOTAL WHEN GAS IS TURNED ON IN CITY MAINS AND BALANCE IN TEN EQUAL
MONTHLY PAYMENTS WITH YOUR -GAS BILL.
