Much Food Saved.
The people have Invested their
money freely in Liberty bonds and
War Savings stamps. The saving of
food lias been soj efficiently preached
and has been so well organized by the
food commission that vast quantities
of food have been saved.
Another exairipie of the wonderful
patriotism of the people was demon
strated In the work of Mr. Antonio
Arbona, a coffee planted living-near
Olules. The coffee planters of Porto
Rico have sufferod greatly on account
of there being no market for their
eoffee In the states. On account of
the war their foreign market was cut
off. There are 150,000 people In Porto
Rico dependent upon the coffee in-

The gospel of food economy. In
creased food production. Improved
methods of cultivation and the neces
sity of planting a greater variety of
home products, has been t preached to
every corner of the Island. The
schools have been instrumental in the
establishment of 26,093 home gardens,
thereby assisting Porto Rico to solve
the food problem.
The cbPiron here are deserving of
muchi praise for what they have don#
and the example they set led others
on, to greater efforts. They are all
meKibers of the Red Cross. A few
of them were able ‘ to secure from
their parents the money needed for
their contribution, but the majority
made up their minds ttmt they would
earn this iftoney themselves. AH over

•A,-
Snn Juan. Porto lUco*—What the
people of Porto Rico have done in the
wur will guin for them the friendship,
love and gratitude of 4 the entire popu*
lation of the United States. The wur
activities of tills patriotic island huve dustiy for u livelihood and the coffee
been so effective that one ertnnot help J condition Ipis caused the people much
but become amazed at all thut has
been accomplished.
Thut thousunds of people here have
done everything within their power, to
nave and give, in an effort to help win
this war Is the simple truth, and they
calf well feel proud of their record.
To every single appeal made in behalf
of the war Porto Rico has responded
gallantly. Ten mlUlon dollars has
been Invested In the four Liberty
Joans. The spirit of the people was
vtell demonstrated In the fourth Lib
erty loan drive, when the island ex
ceeded her quota of $4,(X)0 1 000 by al
most $800,000 despite tb6 disaster
suffering. Mr. Arbona, a man more
than sixty years old, covered two \»ar-
rlos 'on horseback and succeeded In
selling to the small coffee planters
more than $16,000 of Liberty bonds'
in the fourth campaign, most of these
being #50 and) $100 bonds.
In all things pertaining to war work
the Spanish merchants throughout the
Island have co-operated to the fullest
extent. Liberty honds they have
hmlght liberally and they have given
freely to the Red Cross. I huve never
come in contact with a class of busi
ness men who give more freely than
these, or more cheerfully, either.
When the Red Cross was seeking a
new’ home 45 business men—Span
iards, Porto Ricans and Americans—
donated $11,000. this money being
raised iti a few hours, thus enabling
the Red Cross to have quarters in
one building. f~
The Four-Minute Men.
The "Four-Minote Men” pf Porto

men of the country. 1

The Red Cross is doing a great work
In looking after the needy and desti

During September 1,019 families were
cared for. The recent earthquakes
added greatly to the .relief work.
In the second war fund drive, which
was carried on throughout the island
in the months of May and June, 1918,
the people made donations in excess,,
of $106,000.
Mr. Mack Jones, a coffee planter and
mayor of the little town of Villalbn,
has this to say of the people in his
home vicinity: “We were asked for
$8,400 in the third Liberty loan. Small
merchants and [day laborers made a.,

surrounding mountain sides on horse;
