CONDITIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES
Congregational Club Hears Able Paper
by Charles Hopkins Clark.

Members of the Congregational club
and their friends who attended the an
nual "ladies night" in the Brooks
House Tuesday evening had the oppor'
tunity of hearing n remarkably com
prehensive story of the conditions that
exist in the Philippines. The speaker
was Charles Hopkins Clark OF the
Hartford Courant, who visited the
islands last summer as a member of the
Taft party. Mr. Clark is keen stu
dent of public affairs, n trained OBJ
server of human nature and n writer
who possesses the ability to combine
wit and wisdom in n peculiarly happy
manner. All of these qualities were
apparent in the paper which he pre-
sented, and combined to make the
story he told one of intense human in
terest.
Mr.. Clark devoted considerable time
to description of the Philippine eli.
mate, the resources of the islands and
their relation to the surrounding coun-
tries He described the characteristics
of the natives humorously yet clearly,
emphasizing the fact that the saliva
ton of the country lies in educating the
] coming generation of Filipinos to a
realizing sense of its responsibilities
In closing he pointed out the absolute
folly of opposing the reduction of the
! Philippine tariff, showing that the Fill
Pine people have no desire to compete
with the industries in this country and
are in no position to do so if they had
that wish. Mr.. Clark also pointed out
the duty of the United States toward
the islands and laid stress on the utter
incompetence of the people at present as
far ms elf-government is concerned.
The paper followed banquet, which
was served to about $50. Selections
were given by the Brattleboro male
ouartet

Der of petitions received and referred

Best Food for the Money.

High prices are not always the sign
of good quality, neither does a low
price necessarily indicate inferiority.
The value of a poultry food is deter
mined entirely by the results obtained
from its use. w. J. McWilliams,
Prattsville, N. Y. expresses his ideas
on the subject as follows: Il have
sold Pages Perfected Poultry Food
in my poultry plant and find it one
of the best foods for the money on the
