In order to close out as quick as possible this big E
Sale will continue until all goods are sold. The house E
was crowded all day on Oct. 1st by bargain seekers, -
carrying off loads and loads of bargains. You will have -
to hurry to get yours. We still have hundreds of dol= E
lars worth of merchandise on our shelves. This is a 6
real Sale—the first come, the first served. So come f
for miles and miles and help us to close our doors.
Ask the boys who saw overseas ser-
vice what their opinion is of the Salva-
tion Army, and then make your dona-
tion accordingly.
We are in receipt of the necessary
credentials to permit our entrance to
the Fair Park during the Thirty-Third
Annual Exposition of the Texas State
Fair which is to be held in Dallas
from October 6th to 19th. We ex-
tend our thanks to the management of
the Fair for this courtesy and trust
it will be our privilege and pleasure
to attend. From all reports the ex-
position this year will surpass that of
any previous year.

All time pieces will be set back one
hour on the Fourth Sunday in October,
same being October 26th, and as the
“Daylight Saving” law has been re-
pealed we will thereafter have.but one
time. In some cases this change
worked a hardship, while in many in-
stances it is a grand thing. So re-
member, on October 26th, we will all
get together on time and thereby
eliminate the “fast and “slow” time
as it is commonly referred to by a
large number.
Contribute liberally to the Salvation
Army Fund—this band of workers is
doing a wonderful work and are only
asking you to assist them financially.
Give them the means and they will
place the money where it will serve
suffering humanity.
Of course you read the Tribune—
but do you pay for it?
Labor Day, and yesterday we organ-
ized, so really it is the only day I’ve
taught. It has been very pleasant,
tho so different- from at home. The
pupils insist on studying semi-aloud;
also, repeating what I say. Too, the
walls between the rooms go only about
three-fourths of the way up, so of
course the sounds go across, making
it all confusing. Probably I shall get
accustomed to it soon. It is all so
queer.
At my boarding house they are very
kind to me, and try to do something
for me all the while, but they speak
very little English arid I no Spanish,
so we have difficulty in making our-
selves understood;
Miss Koff, the other American
teacher who lives near here, takes her
lunch with me at the hotel. The meals
are very good. They have coffee (or
cocoa) and fruit in the morning,
breakfast at 'noon time and dinner in
the evening. Rice and beans are
served twice each day. I pay only
$25 per month for room and board,
and $2 or $3 for laundry.
I am going into San Juan once or
twice a month to stay with Miss Free-
man, and she is going to come out and
see me.
I’m teaching the tenth grade Eng-
lish and History, the ninth English
and Geography, eighth Civics and
seventh Geography. Five hours reci-
tation each day. Of course several
hours study each night. I’d rather
be busy though, since I have no one to
talk to. Of course, the- natives are
dark, but in one class I have two
negro boys, black as they make ’em.
The Burlingames have been lovely
to me, but they are going to move.
Do not know where they will go,
whether in town or across the island.
I hope they come to town so I may
stay with them.
I’ve had no mail yet, but a boat
came into San Juan today so I expect
some tomorrow. I do not even get a
daily. Of course those from home
woud be a week old and the ones pub-
lished here are in Spanish, so I do not
know what is going on in the world.
They have a band here and it plays
on the plaza every night. * * *
There is only a Catholic church here
