Labor Market Surrounded
The labor market Is now practi
cally surrounded by an almost impus
table barrier; the. number of laborers
who are willing to work In the llelds
lit low witKes is Oecroa-liiK, while the
demand Is steadily Increasing. The
planters, It Is understood, have u

do not compote among themselves, al
though by various methods of con
tract or bonus for length of service.
there Is a tendency to increase Indi-!
lectly the wages paid. It Is general-1
) ucognlzeil thut higher and higher .
grades of laborers must be secured us '
the Orientals ilectease through re
turn home or thiougu entering Into
other ludustries.
Shifty Japanese
S)stemul!c effortb havu been made
to Improve the condition of the ml
giutory labours 11 ml to Induce them
to remain In. a given locality. The
Japanese are readily moved and arc
(ulck to resent any grievance. Ily
Impulsively shifting from place to
place their effectiveness is fur less
than though they stayed on any one
plantation where they could become
familiar with conditions und the te
iiulrements of the manager. Their
tupucity to work effectively without
constant oveislght, and their initia
tive is teported to be homewhat lower
than thut of the I'oitugucse.
Suspicious Portuguese
In the case of the Portuguese nnd
tlnillar laborers jiot o,nly U the wage
scale Homewhut higher than thut paid
the Orientals corresjiondlng to their
greater efficiency, but Inducements
have been made In the wuy ot offer
ing to them houses und small tiacta
n( land on condition, that they will
ilve on the ground for two or more
yvutH und will inalic'inoderato pay
ments In monthly Instalments. The
utters of this knd have frequently
been tegnided with suspicion, but In
11 few cubes they have been accepted.
The uveruge luboier would rather
have a dollar or two more a month In
cash than twlco its equivalent in real
property, us ho Is fearful of being tied
down or ho suspects some ulterior
motive.
Liberal Treatment
In somo localities the 0 Iters of free
hind from the Government have been
accepted und small bodies ot laboreis
are acquiring title. On one of tho
plantations lallroad facilities have
been provided by which the laborers
located In their homes can. leach oth
er point uf wotk If they so desire.
Where the laborer linds ho Is thus
fieo to seek other occupation he usu
ally picfcri to stay near home, work
oii tho udjaccnt plantation and, with
the help of his family cultivate his
own little garden. Liberal treatment
In such dlicctlons lias been followed
by moro efTectlvo work nnd by less

This gives rise to spring fever, eruptions on the skin, general lassitude and constipation.
I Feruna corrects all these difficulties by striking at the source of them. By eradicating the ca

the whole machinery of tho body is put in working order.

It Is believed that the Individual Jap
anese worker, for example, accom
plishes 20 per cent, more than he did
when he llrst came to tho islands.
This Is due in pait to the fact that
many of the Japanese are taking
small contracts for cultivating or cut
ting the cane; with niouted personal
Intel est they ale doing moio nnd
better work; also It Is asserted Hint
during tho war with Itussla the Jap
anese laborers were tnoic or less ex
cited and devoted considerable tlmo
to wur news, After the cessation of
tho war and with the stimuli!) of ru
mors of possible troubles with the
United States, the laborers resumed
work with renewed vigor with the
Idea of accumulating as much money
ua possible In view of curly teturn to
their own country.
With the Inctensc of effectiveness
uf labor thiough better work on the
part the Orientals and higher
grade of labor for the Latins, there
Is coming about also a reduction In
tho amount of heavy manual work.
No Canc-StrippiiiEr
Tor example, thu planters' experi
ment stutlon has discovered tlmt the
stripping of the cane, a very laboil-
cuh ptneess, does nut add to Its value,
but even the tcverso. With the elim
ination of the stilppliig, possibly 12
per cent, of tho labor on the planta
tion1 will be reduced. The burning
ot the cane immediately before cut
ting tends to reduce the amount ot
mntorlnl to ha handled. Machin
ery Is being Introduced for loading
cane is It Is for unloading, und oveiy
possible elfort Is being made to util
ize labor-saving device), although It
mutt bu confessed that the progress
In this direction litis not been 11s
limited as It has been In ninny othcM.
For Belter Labor
The sentiment of tho public us well
'as of thu planters Is rapidly crystal-
Izlng Into well-dellned movements to
bring about not merely a bettor phys
ical condition of tho laborers hut also
to bilng to the Islands only such men
as are callable of becoming citizens.
It cannot be said that action along
this lino on the part of employe! s Is
wholly altruistic. It Is due In, part
to tho tecogiiltlou of tho fact that
tlio public wetfitiu demands that tho
greater pait of tho population shall
be no Jopger alien, ns voters Hie Held
laboreiH must ultimately wield 11
puwciful Influence. Tho evolution of
tho sugar industry seems to penult
or even demand a higher grade uf la
borer. Their Is no doubt that tho
planters ns 11 whole, actual In part by
patilotk- motives, will gladly employ
n higher typo of men If they can bo
had.

tnUlug the standard of labor lire na

Ininilgiatlon and execution of public

Educating Children
uno ot ttie llrst Mops in advance,
Is that of Improving the laborers'
quartois and uf providing the 'more
ambitious men with small homes

of tho children of the laborers Is nlfco

since I8.'i2 lit a total cost of over
$9,000,000 or $30 each.
The cost Of bringing In the Japan

tuguese $lin. Of tho total Itupoiled
probably a half have gone home, oth
ers have died or left tho llelds and
gono Into vailed Industries, leaving
about IS, 000 Inbotcrs on tho planta
tions. One of tho latest nnd most success
ful attempts to bring In labor has
leen that of Introducing Portuguese
and Spanish. Three stentners brought
In timing 1007 an aggregate of 1400
men, 11-13 women, 2141 chlldten, lit

general superintendence of tho work,

paid these men will average at first
piobubly about $20 per mouth.

About the Advertiser
PEOPLE do not take up the paper to read the
ads. Nothing is further from their thoughts.
They want the news, and any ad that is dc
. signed to be read must literally grip their
attention by its force, originality, and its special
appeal to their interest.
The advertiser isa "butter in." He must get the
attention of the reader and hold it long enough to
make a definite impression. He is pitted against the
scholar, the story writer, the editorial writer, the
artist and he must turn out better stuff than they
do.' His sentences must be catchy and to the point.
Each sentence must say something there is no room
tor rhetorical embellishments.
That's why the advertiser should employ the
services of trained and experienced advertising men.
