upon tho markot spent a largo
amount In advertising. IIo told mo
that for a little while aftor that mon
ey was spent In advertising, tho de
mand for that particular kind of
breakfast food oxceodod tho demand
for any other kind of breakfast food.
Thoro was a product (hat did not
differ materially from tho other pro
ducts and was introduced in com
petition with brands long established
and yot, through advertising and
through advertising only, it imme
diately look its placo among thd pop
ular breakfast foods.
I havo no doubt that this associa
tion will recognize by actual expe
rience tho valuo of advertising the
things that you havo for sale. I am
suro that, if you could photograph
upon tho outside of. tho orango a pic
turo of some of tho beautiful views
upon which I havo looked, the skin
of the orango from Porto Rico would
bo worth more than tho whole or
ango from any other place. If you
can give assuranco, and I understand
that you intend to, that your goods
will bo up to a certain standard, so
that anyone buying can buy tho
brand and bo suro that the goods will
bo up to that sample, that in itself
will bo a powerful advantage. Then,
in the matter of perishable fruits,
time is of the essence of the con
tract. If you can get your goods to
tho market quickly and in perfect
condition it means tho difference be-

Land For Sale
I
I havo 2,240 acres of choice land within two miles of
Limon, Colorado, which I can sell at the low price of from
$9.00 to $10.00 per acre. This laud can all be cultivated.
There is an abundant supply of water at a depth of
from IB to 20 feet. Tho soil is a rich, dark loam, very
productive and specially adapted to the raising of alfalfa,
wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and sugar beets.
This land must bo sold quick, hence these slaughter
prices. Write for particulars and come and see it.

tween profit and loss. But your as
sociation can do more than advertise
and hunt up markets. It can assist
the producers in the improvement of
the quality of the product which they
raise. I regard that as one of the
very most important things that youf
association can do. In the raising of
cattle it is about as easy to raise a
good animal as a poor one, and so
In the matter of fruit it is, compara
tively speaking, as easy to raise a
good quality as a poor quality. Then,
too, I havo been glade to note that
an effort has been made to can or
preserve some of your fruit, espe
cially perishable goods. The conver
sion of the thing from the perishable
form into the form that does not
perish is a great step in advance. I
think, therefore, that your associa
tion should lose no opportunity to
encourage the conversion of these
things that you produce, into the
most lasting form so that all can be
preserved and their value conserved.
It seems to me also that manufac
turing is possible here, to a certain
extent. The streams that come down
from your mountains furnish an
abundant water power and there are
many forms of manufacture that it
seems to me might, with economy
and profit be introduced into the
island. I have wondered, too, that
there is no provision made for, the
refining of sugar. You may know
some good reason but I have not
heard any why you should send
brown sugar to the United States and
import white sugar. It seems to me
that you could at least refine the
sugar that you want to use on the
island and thus save freight two
ways on what you consume. Not
only that but you might supply the
southern states with sugar that is
now sent to the north, refined and
brought by freight to these states.
But pardon me for making these sug
gestions. It is presumptious for one
to come from the outside and offer
suggestions to those who are banded
together for the promotion of the
industries of the island. It is only
fair to assume that you, who have
a large pecuniary interest in the mat
ter ana a wide knowledge of local
conditions it is only fair to assume
that you know more about these
things than I do. I Will close, there
fore, vitli just one additional
thought. r
I find that there are some Ameri
cans down here who are engaged in
helping to develop the industries of
the Island and are associated with
the Porto Ricans in this association
in the promotion of the 1slnnri'a i
terests. I am very glad to see this
T?"?PeJon between those from the
United States and those long resident
here. You can be helpful to each
other. The Americans can bring
down the latest suggestions that have
come from the development of the
resources of the United States and
uluao uo "ve nere can hear those
suggestions and ran tell how far thev
can be applied to local conditions
I am glad to find this feeling of mar-
r"' , u "aternity between these
two elements in the island and as
?? E0?!?6 St?tGS l may be Pit
ted to address just a word to those
nTtalB ,tT,m thG StatGS- It IS
2J$iWghe5 lmPrtace that there
shall be entire cordiality and sin-
?Si?fd5f ?etween thG PePlG
the United States and the nnAi
Porto Rico. Only in part can this
harmony be created by the instru
mentalities of the government. The
fhrt oC the United states;
through its representatives,' may
either hasten or retard the cementing
of these people, and the people of
Porto Rico may on the other hand
either assist or prevent the cement
ing by the manner in which they co
operate or. fall to co-operate. ' But
there Is a force that is entirely apart
Itron) -hls sovernmental force. It Is
the Influence exerted by the presence
of tho unofflqUI Americans in the
island. It makes a great deal of dif
ference how these unofficial Ameri
cans act among k the Porto Ricans.
Tho Porto Ricans can not see the
people of the United States as a
whole. They" must judge the people
of the United States from the samples
that come down, I trust that the
samples will be such as to commend
the whole. The fact that Americans
come down here sometimes tempor
arily and brought here by pecuniary
interests rather than as permanent
residents; this fact .alone makes it
only the more important that they
shall not permit the mere making of
money to lead them away from the
highest ethical standards. The finan
cial standard, the standard of hon
esty and honor that these unofficial
Americans set up, is a very impor
tant influence to be considered in de
termining the future relations be
tween these two sections and I hope
that the Americans who come down
here will insist that there shall be
no falling below a"1 proper standard.
You have an association to guarantee
the. quality of the goods which you
send to the United States. I am not
sure yet that we can form an asso
ciation up there to guarantee the
quality of the men whom we. send
down here. I think if we could do
that it would be as advantageous to
our country as it is to your island
to guarantee the quality of its pro
ducts. But if it is difficult for us to
form that association there, it is pos
sible for you who are here to form
an association with a similar purpose.
You who are here in business and
who will be the first to feel the effects
of any prejudice aroused by the im
proper action of an American, ought
to agree among yourselves that the
American who sins shall be doubly
punished, for he not only sins against
Porto Rico but he sins against the
united States. If, therefore, any
American in business here is so for
getful of his responsibility and so for
getful of the interests of his other
countrymen here, as to do wrong or
to do injustice or to be dishonest, let
the other Americans be the first to
bring him to punishment. Tell him
that, if he must disgrace the name of
his country, he should go back and
disgrace the name at home where
there are so many Americans that his
act will not become typical of his
country. Tell him that here Is no
place for an American to show his
bad side, if he has any bad side; that
here he must be on his good be
havior; so that those about him,
measuring the United States by him,
will be drawn more and more by
ties of affection to that nation and
its people.
Pardon me for speaking at length
and let me again thank the president
and the members for whom he
speaks, for their cordial welcome.
