VIRGIN ISLANDS
OF MILITARY VALl'E
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 25 —
The United States apparently has
picked up something in the way of a
wholesale house cleaning job as well
as territory of vast military value In
buying the Virgin islands. Officials
sent to look them over recently ask
ed congress for $200,000 to correct
these alleged conditions.
No waterworks in any town. Drink
ing water obtained from cisterns or
hauled in wagons from insanitary
wells. Fire departments consist of
[hand carts, tubs, tanks and hand
! pumps. No sewerage system. No fur
niture for government offices, which
, contain old Danish safes made of cast
I iron and locked with keys.
I The cheerful word was brought
| back that for many years past the
I island's budget has never met ex
! penses. The biggest revenue obtained
j was from imports from the United
States, which are now cut off. In ad
dition, labor troubles are chronic be
cause of importations from the Bar
hadoes of low class workmen.
Two Ways to Ix>ok at It
One day early in May, 1917, the
general merchant of a small south
Texas town showed a farmer a buggy,
priced at $90, and the farmer object
ed because twenty years before his
father had bought one just like it for
$60.
The merchant looked up the sale,
and found that the father had turn
ed in as payment for the $60 buggy
12 tons of cottonseed. The merchant
figured a while, then told the son to
delver 12 tons of cottonseed and he
would give him:
One $90.00 buggy.
One $70.00 wagon.
One $40,00 cultivator.
One $60.00 planter.
One $100.00 Victrola.
One $35.00 watch.
One $20.00 suit.
$300.00 Liberty Bonds.
The farmer paid cash for the bug
gy and Is holding bis cottonseed for
a higher price.—Ex.
HEAD OK SCHOOLS
GOES TO WESTWARD
Lester Henderson, head of the ter
ritorial schools was a passenger to
the westward on last night’s steamer
Alameda. He is making a tour of Al
aska vsiting the different schools. He
went to Nome first, and spent some
time on the Seward peninsula, from
there going up the Yukon, stopping
off at Ruby, Tditarod, and Tanana
and thence to Fairbanks. From Fair

railing 26 feet to'a pile of rocks be
low, breaking a rib, and sustaining
severe internal njuries, his recovery
is doubtful.
