We may bear it well in mind that the American business man has a Kkeener perception where business promises suc cess, than has most other such men, and Unele Sam in reariy every case is sure of making handsome returns, because he starts in at tne small openings and widens and expands in short metre. Iu this scheme, (says an oxperienced mun with a knowledge of what he writes about) there are fair and square possi- bilites presanted. Trere are no diificul- ties of a grave nature, if any at all, nor complicaticn of a kind: not to be over- come by ordinary energy and skill. There is hardly aught for the considera- tion of enterprising men, but that which should te apt the spirit of adventure that is lying dormant, iocally or abroad. « 1t is hoped rthen, that after close and earnest invesiigation of the premises herein set forth—some one or other will be influenced even in his "wn interest to make an effort, and thus for Christian- sted, give to that Town and people a chance of perhaps a better future, than its past.

The Eastend Estates are a num- ber of well-laid-out properties that‘had been somewhat neglected in past years—- but through large Danish investment have recently heen reclaimed and re- stored. They cover an areaof 2000 to 3000 acres and more, and are, of as good cane-growing soil as most of the Estates and other lands on this island. Christiansted Octr. 25th 1920. SOMETHING FOR FREDERIKSTED CHEMICALLY MADE ICE Water may be converted into ice bv the ~following process: lace same in a small metal eontainer and set the latter into a large dish or earthen jar, contain- ing a weak solution of sulp®uric acid and water. Remember that in preparing this solution the acid must be poured into the watar: never the water into the acid, and the water must be added gradually. This is a very strong acid and it must be handled cu efully to avoid burning the &1 LR A VIS hands. A smal! guantity of Glauber’s salts is finally added to the sulphuric solution, The mixture absorbs heat so rapidly and in such volume that the water in the metal container will be frozen. The. same process can be used on a large simle for making ice for the refrigerator and other purposes but the cost :f the chefnicals is such that the product is more expensive than ice ob- tained from other sources.—7 The Path- finder Oct. 23, 1920.
