mitted to President Taft the last an

Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
The report is more than q review
of the past years work; it contains a
summary of the agricultural advance
of the country during the venerable
secretary's term of public service.

Neutrality-suspicious. than 10000
skilled workers in the navy yards
throughout the United States were
placed undor the protection of civil
service by executive order of Presi-
dent Taft. The Presidents order was
issued with tho approval of the civil
service commission and in accordance
with an opinion by Attorney General
Wickersham.
No navy yard employees below the
grade of skilled mechanics will be af-
fected by President Taft's order. A re-
cent conference of navy yard com.
mandants recommended that the men
be placed in the classified service, and
that was approved by Secretary
Meyer.
Toolmakers, electricians, stone cut
ters, machinists, masons, moulders,
ordnance men, plumbers and others
will be affected by this order Until
eligible lists for the new classifica-
tions can be prepared, new appoint
in the regular way.
Rules for covering the 10000 men
into the classified service have been
approved by the secretary of the navy
and President Taft and will be made
known to the navy and commandants
shortly. 1t is said that the order will
not displace any employees.

Greece to Join Allies.

Belgrade.-Grece is on the point
of giving her formal adherence to the
armistice. AS diplomatist observed,
Greece has no interest in continuing
hostilities alone for the sake of the
possession of Janima, for if an inde-
pendent Albania is formed she cannot
hope to obtain the city, and if the
allies are allowed to retain the prov
ince Janima naturally will fall to the
Heliones.

adds, "but prosperity followed and
grew with unexampled speed. Begin.
nings have been made in production
per acre increasing faster than the
natural increase of population. There
has been an uplift of agriculture and
of country life.
During the past sixteen yeays the
farmer has steadily increased the
wealth production year by year, with
the exception of 1911. During the six
teen years the farmers wealth produc-
tion increased 141 per cent.
"Most productive of all agricultural
years in the country has been 1872
The earth has produced its greatest
annual dividend. The sun and rain
and the fertility of the soil needed not
the human controversies, but kept Oil
working in cooperation with the farm
ers' efforts to untilize them. The
prices at the farm are generally prof
liable and will continue the prosperity
that farmers have enjoyed in recent
years. The total production of farm
wealth is the highest yet reached by
half billion dollars. The grand total
for 1912 is estimated to be $685., ,000,-
900. This is more than twice the val
ue of the farm wealth in $780,"
More than 05,O00.000,O0O is the
grand total Of farm wealth production,
the report says, during the past six
teen years, an amount equal to about
three quarters of the present national
wealth.
The most effective moye toward re-
duced cost of living is the production
of greater crops, says the secretary,
and this move he declares is due to
the work of the Department of Agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta.
tions and to the help Of the press in
publishing every movement to help
the farmers. The nation, he adds, for-
got its farmers in the general scheme
of education of past years and few
philanthropists thought of them when
giving for education, but they are wax
irg up and thinking for themselves
and Cogress has been good to them.
The secretary first takes up the
work of the various bureaus Of his
department in the past year and then
tells of the growth in some instances
from their foundation, Of these bu-
reaus during the time he has been
head of the department. He praises
highly the experts who have worked
Under him. .....
"The great and growing movement
carried on by the department for ag-
ricultural betterment," he declares,
"has not been sustained solely by one
man nor by few men. A choice crop
of scholarly experts in their special
lines Of endeavor has been growing in
membership, In breadth of view, and
In the practical application Of their
efforts.

Washington.-The second of a se-
rles of short messages which Presi-
dent Taft has prepared for the guild
ance Of Congress during the short ses-
sion was read in both Houses. The
message was devoted to fiscal, judi
cial, military and insular affairs.
The President stated that trade con-
ditions in the United States were nev-
er in a better condition and that the
country was apparently well on the
way toward an unexampled period of
prosperity. He recommended reforms,
however, in the present banking and
currency laws, characterizing this leg
islation as the "crying need of the
country
President Taft will make no further
effort to have Congress reduce the
tariff.
Now that a new Congress has been
elected on a platform of tariff for rev.
enue only rather than protective tar
iff and is to revise tho tariff on that
basis" said the President, "it is need
less for me to occupy the time Of Con-
6iSoo WIN al VI ASSSAAAASAAA~~
tons in favor of protective tariff"
He declared that no radical change
in the Sherman antitrust law was
needed, and praised the Supreme
Court for it's recently announced
changes in rules of equity procedure.
In this connection the President
asked Congress to pass legislation
,,,h foh oil Tnlrrf
to formulate rules of procedure under
the common law in federal courts, and
predicted that such action would factl-
itate justice in those courts and re-
duce the cost of litigation tolhe pub
lie.
The Panama canal was dismissed
in few words. the President prophe-
sying its opening in the latter half OF
1913. He took occasion, however, to
declare that Congress should reward
the work of Colonel Goethals by an
appointment as major general with
the provision that he become chief of
engineers when the term Of the pres
ent incumbent expires.
"In the Philippine Islands we have
embarked upon an experiment unpre-
cedented in dealing with dependent
peoples" said President Taft. 1--WE
are developing there conditions excll-
sively for their own welfare. Through
the unifyirg forces of common edu-
cation, of commercial and economic
development, and of gradual participa-
tion in local self-government, we are
endeavoring to evolve homogeneous
people fit to determine, when the time
arrives, their own destiny. We are
seeking to arouse national spirit and
not. as under the older colonial theory,
to suppress such a spirit. But our
work is far from done. Our duty to the
FilipinCs is far from discharged"

WINDOWS IN MANILA.
Translucent Shells Are Used In Place
of Ordinary Glass.

OF Ordinary GLASS.
Perhaps in no other country but the
Philippines are conchas used as sub
stitute for window glass. These shells
are fat, nearly round, and average four
inches in diameter. The edges are trim
med off so as to leave panes about
three inches square. and these are set
in narrow strips of wood.
The shells are, of course, translucent
rather than transparent, and the result
is soft, opalescent light, very agree
able In a country where the glare OF
the sky would be intolerable If ordi-
nary glass were used.
To obtain the maximum window
openings the sashes are made to slide
horizontally on wide sills of hard wood
In q manner similar to that adopted by
the Japanese. BY this means openings
as wide as twelve feet are obtained.
To realize the splendid resources of
the Philippines, says a writer In the
Century, one has only to see the hard
wood foorings in the public buildings
and the residences of the better class.
These consist of large slabs of mahog-
any. or. to use the local names. mo-
lave, nara, tindalo and acle, these be-
ing of various colors and granting
Frequently the pieces, occasionally as
much as forty inches in width and for
ty feet in length, are laid alternately In
dark and light shades. Polished by the
household muchachos 0house boys till
they reflect like mirrors. they produce
a magnificent effect.
