p. l.. O'Reilly Says the Philippine
Islanders Won't Steal But They
Hunt Heads Occasionally.
Bring Water Forty Miles for Irri-
eating Psrposes and Raise Three
Crops of Rice Annually.

Mr.. P. L. O'Reilly, who holds an
important educational position in the
Philippine Islands, and who spent
several weeks here last summer visit
ing his sisters, Mrs. J. J. Skahen
and Mrs. T. j. Kaliher, in letter
to the publisher of the Union en-
closed picture of the irrigated rice
fields of one of the islands and writes
concerning the same and of the
natives.
"This is what the wild men do
toward making available for cultiva-
tion all of the soil in this country.
Here are thousands of acres of irri-
gated rice lands that otherwise
would be waste, desolate mountain
slopes.
''The picture shows the different
fields under water. The water comes
from the higher levels away back.
The dikes, dams and fumes they
build are works of which our best
engineers might we'll be proud.
Some of the water is carried from 20
to 40 miles before it reaches the rice
fields. They have no iron nor stone
pipes. They do it all with bamboo
wood. dirt and stone. These fields
are worked with. hoe and spade-no
machinery. They raise three crops
each year. The women do most of
the work.
'These people are savages but are
harmless. Your watch and money is
safer there than OH Hennepin or
Nicollet avenues. Civilization as
yet has made few inroads either for
good or bad. They are the Cigarettes ::

They treat white visitors with every
courtesy. When they hunt heads it
is among themselves. They have a
moral code very different from ours.
Children marry at any age; usually
begin living together at the age of

woman is ever unfaithful. No case

a bath and usually smell like mix

W. A. McKerrow, organizer of cow
testing associations for the Exten-
sion Division of the Minnesota COL
lege Of Agriculture.
Other reasons for testing are:
1t enables the farmer to eliminate
COWS that do not pay for their board.
1t saves many a good COW from the
shambles.
1t is an encourager of good feeding
and good care.
It gives the farmer an opportunity
to build up good producing herd.
1t increases ones interest in dairy
ing as business rather than as a
means of labor merely.
In short, it is plain common sense.

Go. q and the High School Play an
, Interesting Game of Basket Ball
at Armory Friday Evening,
The Final Score Is 81 to I6, and the
Contest is Witnessed by Mum.
erOuS Enthusiastic Fans.

The Princeton basket ball season
opened at the armory last Friday
evening when Company G opposed
the high school quint. A large
crowd congregated at the armory and
the spectators were treated to an
Interesting contest. Both sides
played fast, and Princeton enthu-
siasts were more than satisfied with
the showing made.
Company G took the lead from the
start and held it to the end, although
during the early stages OF the second
half the high school athletes made
things exceedingly interesting for
the militia boys. The final score
was 81 to 16.
The military quint started with a
rush and during the first half swept
their more youthful opponents off
their feet, securing seven field bas-
kets and. one free throw to one field
basket and two free throws for the
high school representa- Heinz,
Vandemaier, Smith and Cooley
figured in the basket throwing for
Company G, and Newton and Peter
son were responsible for the high
school scores.
The lineup of both teams was
changed for the second half. Smith
took Heinz place at center, Trunk
took Smiths position, and Morton
superseded Cooley. For the high
school Schmidt replaced Newton and
Emahiser took Raiche's place. The
high school representatives gave a
good account of themselves in this
half and for time had their more
experienced opponents slightly wor-
ried. Company G finished strong
however, and secured eight field
baskets to six for their opponents.
U:mbehocker and Schmidt starred for
the high school in this half. each

NOTES..

The@high school squad has made
rapid progress under the tutelage of
Coach Morton, and displayed ex-
cellent team work. The team can
be depended upon to give good &C.
count of itself this season.
Morton refereed the first half and
Cooley the second, while VIM. Ross
officiated as umpire during the entire
game. The decisions of all we're en-
tirely fair and both sides were salts
fed.
Doane played a particularly fast
game and appeared to be everywhere.
After time had been called he threw
basket almost the entire length of
the hall, and it is extremely doubt
full if the feat will be duplicated
this season.
That Company G will be repre-
sented by a formidable basket ball
team this season was very evident to
all who witnessed the contest last
Friday evening. The boys are all
fast and throw baskets accurately,
and after their team work is better
developed should be able to make
things interesting for any quint in
these parts.
