to you 1 was Oh The Island Of Jolo, but
at this writing l am on the Island OF

(my company was ordered to this
island to quell an uprising of the
natives. When, as before, we en-
barked we were given one hundred
extra rounds OF ammunition each and
a first aid package. When we landed
uron the island the natives were ready
to receive us, and we were Just as
anxious as they were. These natives
fight with about the same tactics ss an
Indian, but be is not near as brave
and game as the Indian. These natives
fight with old Remington rifles, pois-

Slassi Island is an Eden of the eartb,
as everything tropical will grow on this
island. Plneapples, bananas, mangos,
cocoanut and numerous other products
may be had for the gathering. And,
again, it is a very healthful place here,
as the sea air makes it salubrious.

Possibilities of Peanut Oil.

More oil is extracted from oleagi-
nous seeds in the city of Marseilles
than in any other trade center in
Europe. The manufacture of peanut
oil is one of the most important
branches of the industry. American
cotton seed oil is the chief rival of
peanut oil. The supply of the latter
is largely dependent on the nut crops
Of Africa and India. Peanut oil is said
to be the most polymorphous of all
oils. adapting itself to ali purposes, in
Guiding nutrition. lighting, fabrication
and blending. 1t is largely used for
the adulteration of olive oil, as it is
extremely difficult to detect. AS a
luminant it makes a soft white light.
Peanut meal cake, from which the oil
has been expressed, is a valuable cat
tie food
Of the worlds peanut crop, which
aggregates fully 550,000,O00 pounds, in
an average year, America contributes
about 11O,OOO,OOO pounds (5OOO,O 900
bushels) or one-fifth of the total 1t
is estimated that 100000 bushels of
peanuts are annually consumed in this
country in the original kernels or in
candy. Our peanut exports therefore
cut but a small figure. At the oil fac
tories of France a bushel of peanuts
commonly yields gallon of oil, which
is worth from 60 cents to 81 a gallon.
The flour or meal that is left is valu-
able as stock food and sells largely
to horse breeders.
Whether the manufacture of pea
nut oil can be made a success in the
United States will depend on the price
at which the nuts can be grown.
French experts credit the American
peanut with larger percentage of oil
than the African, and it is believed
this can be increased by cultivation.
The soil and climate of Cuba, Puerto
Rico, and the Philippines should be
well adapted to the peanut and from
such sources it would seem as if Am
erican oil makers could secure cheap
