Uncle Sam Teaches Filipinos to Farm

4 NOTED professor from the Univer'
"A sity of Chicago, who spent several
months in the Philippine islands as
lecturer at the teachers vacation as
senbly, conducted by the bureau Of
education every year at Bagulio, the
summer capital of the islands, re-
turned recently to the United States.
"Other nations one of these days will
be coming to the Philippines to see
how the educational triumphs have
been won," he said, in speaking of
the work of the schools there.
Without question one Of the tri-
umphs of America in the Orient is
the wonderful work that has been &C.
complished there by the public school
system during the ten years since its
organization. From a mere handful
Of pupils, and an expenditure of a
few thousand dollars in 1901, the sys-
tenn has developed until now it
reaches into every town and nearly
every village of the island, and last
year instructed more than 100000
boys and girls. The Philippine gov

American and Filipino teachers are

MRS. SELBY AND PRIZE BABY

II have always used Cuticura Soap
and no other for my baby and he has
never had a sore of any kind. He
does not even chafe as most babies
do. I feel sure that it is all owing to
Cuticura Soap, for he is fine and
healthy, and when five months old
won a prize in a baby contest It
makes my heart ache to go into SO
many homes and see sweet-faced
baby with the whole top of its head
a solid mass Of scurf, caused by poor
soap. I always recommend Cuticura,
and nine times out OF ten the next
time I see the mother she says: oh!
am so glad you told me of Cuticura.'

Three Who Bravely and Successfully
Carried on Their Sick Fathers
Work.

In the southwest part of Kingman
county there lives German farmer,
Rennie Griem, who has been in Ill
health the past year. The family con-
sists mostly of girls. One of these
girls is a school teacher and two are
students in the Kingman high school.
Hired help has been hard to get the
past season, and the father not being
able to attend to farm work, the girls
concluded to take matters into their
own hands, and last spring as soon as
the eldest daughters term of school
had closed she went home, hooked up
to the lister and working early and
late put in 70 acres Of corn.
As soon as the two other girls were
home from high school they turned in
and assisted in cultivating the corn
crop, assisted in the milking and care
of the stock, sold and delivered the
milk 10 the creamery, put up the hay

Hair Ornaments.

Imitation amber and tortoise shell
pins and barettes for the hair, hand
somely studded with brilliants, are
now in great demand, as the FASH
tonable hair dressing, with the soft
waved pompadour and Psyche knot
dressed high on the head, calls for
both the ornamental pins and barettes
for evening wear. A revival of the
mound or mop hair dressing in a
much more graceful form is noted

Pay Girls to Paw Over Waste Baskets

UNIQUE among government "jobs"
~ is that of the two women who sit
side by side down in the basement of
the treasury department and spend
the entire day going through the con-
tents Of the department waste bas-
kets. They are searching for stray
bonds, checks and bills that may
through some mishap have fallen
into the baskets. The positions Of the
two women are more important than
their place on the treasury rolls would
indicate, for some time back one of
them hshed up a $4,000 United
States coupon bond. The two women
have been doing this work for years.
Not a scrap Of paper is permitted
to be carried out of the treasury de-
partment until it has passed the CEN
sorship of the official examiners Of

in the service also that no envelope,

/. CARING for Consumptives,

There are now four special methods
by which consumptive workingmen in
the United States are being cared for.
In such cities as Albany, Elmira and
Binghamton, N. Y, the unions support
a separate pavilion or hospital. In
cities like Hartford, New Britain and
South Manchester, Conn.,, the work
men contribute towards the mainte-
nance Of fund for the care of con-
sumptives. The employers also con-
tribute to these funds. There are also
two national sanatoria for the treat
ment of tuberculosis owned and oper-
ated by labor unions; one by the in
ternational Typographical union and
the other by the Printing Freshmen
and Assistants union. In Massachu-
sets, Illinois and elsewhere large cor
porations and manufacturers have
agreed voluntarily to care for all their
consumptive employees for a limited
length of time.

mo white man has looked upon
Cochise and lived to tell Of it,"
So ran the New Mexico saying.
And for many years it was the truth.
Cochise was chief of the Chiricahua
Apaches. High In the Dragon noun
tains Of New Mexico he had a mighty
fortress where he and his band Of 500
"hostiles" lived, and from which they
issued from time to time on havoc
making raids. This fortress was al
most impossible for an outsider to
find. No body Of soldiers could pene-
trate to it.
Cochise openly laughed at the gov
ernment's puny efforts to check his
murderous career. He lived like one
of the robber barons of old. Scouts
would tell him of the approach Of
some emigrant train, stage coach
or provision caravan along the
neighboring lowlands. Down from his
mountain retreat he would swoop at
the head Of his wild native freeboot-
ers, and would slaughter every white
man, woman and child in the party,
rifling the provisions, etc., destroying
the wagons and driving OF the
horses, mules and cattle.
Wild Raido on Caravans.
Before troops could be sent to
avenge the crime Cochise and his
band would be safely hidden among
the rocky Businesses Of their noun
tains. At last the roads and trails
of the district were practically aban-
doned by travellers. In only one in
stance during all his years of free
booting did Cochise spare any white
man he met. That was in the case
of a red-bearded hunter and guide
named Jeffords. Why Cochise not

1t was the dead Of winter in 1921.
The handful Of hardy English pill
grims' who had landed few months
Cling to keep body and soul together
in the bleak Massachusetts climate.
Their provisions were sCanty, their
dwellings rude and insufficient. Their
prospects of maintaining life on that
desolate, cold coast seemed worse
than doubtful. Had the bravest, most
hopeful Of them all been told that the
wretched little colony would grow and
flourish until it should one day become
the bulwark Of American liberty-he
would have laughed the idea to scorn.
Or, rather-as the pilgrim fathers
frowned upon such idle joys as laugh
ter-he would more probably have had
the rash prophet clapped into the
stocks.
"We!come, EngIishmen!"
The pilgrims worst fears were of
an Indian raid. The enmity of the
savages, they knew, would be the fore
most barrier in the way of their COL
ony's prosperity and permanent life.
&c. when, one day, during that first
bitter winter, an Indian advanced from
the forest toward a group of busy
Plymouth settlers, they grasped their
muskets in alarm. Their fear changed
to amazement as the savage halted
and called to them in perfect English
"Welcome, Englishmen!"
The native, Samoset by name, had
picked up the words from certain Pc
nobscot fishermen. He went on to
say that he was messenger from the
great Indian king, Massasoit, ruler
of the confederacy Of Wampanong
tribes, and that he brought from his
royal master assurances of peace.
A short time afterward-March Is,
1621-Massasoit himself with so war
riors drew near to the colony. The
king was ready to greet the white men
as friends, but was equally ready. in
case Of hostile demonstrations on
their part, to destroy them. Thus,

him, yet he and his braves we're

way: Some horses belonging to a
New Mexico army post were stolen.
The local commandant arrested
Cochise and several Of his Apache
followers on suspicion and put them
in close guarded tent. Cochise alone
escaped with three bullets in his
body by cutting his way out Of the
canvas and breaking through the cor
don Of guards. Furious at the insult
to which he and his braves had been
subjected, he captured a settler and
sent word to the commandant that 1t
the other Indian prisoners were
harmed he would. kill his white cap
tive. The commandant paid no heed
> the warning, but hanged the
Apaches he had seized. Then Cochise
made good his threat.
Finally, during President Grants ad'
ministration, Gen. O. o. Howard was
sent to New Mexico to try to patch
up some sort of peace with Cochise.
He met Cochise's nephew, Chic, who,
with Jeffords, offered to conduct the
general to the mountain fortress il

he went to the hidden stronghold OF

Adding Two More Stars to the Flag

40 they have a great deal Of leisure
time the sailors manage to do their
own official needlework when the
flags are called in for the addition Of
stars and the Encouragement Of the
field OF stars.
The addition Of one star to the flag
sometimes proves an easy task. The
amount of work involved depends
upon the position of the stars already
on the flag. If there is room at the
bottom of the last row of stars for
the addition of another then it 10
merely a matter Of adding that extra
star and this is comparatively easy
job. But the field Of stars seldom
lends itself in that kind Of manner
to the work of adding additional
stars. The symmetrical arrangement
Of the stars is a matter of the utmost
Importance and this requires much
much thought and skill on the part
of the officials to whom is entrusted
the work of designing q field with
the extra stars added.
The first work when the design OF
the new flag has been sent out to the
arsenals, is to rip of the stars that
have to be placed in different posi-
tons. This work is done by rows Of
women who are armed with sharp
pointed knives. They place the star
to be removed on a padded base that
holds the cloth taut. Then they care
f,,l1v rim ont tho afitohaa until the
star is removed. This work goes on
for weeks and sometimes months, fol-
all the flags In the country must be
rearranged. AS the stars are ripped
off they are dropped in baskets and
not used again, new stars being sewn
on to replace the discarded ones. The
new stars are cut by means Of a die
