by the president of the United States
who will be vice-governor of the Philip
pines, and the insular congress will have
no voice in his naming, but the other
departments may be headed by local ap.
pointees who viii probably be selected
from the Filipino congress. The bill
provides that the bureau of civil SER
vice shall be under the direct control Of
the governor general, measure designed
to keep the bureau from the eontamina-
ton of politics.
The new department heads will com
prise the cabinet of the governor gener-
al and be responsible 20 him, but their
presence may be required by either house
of congress which, in this way. hopes to
keep final control of their actions in its
own hands.
The congress is endeavoring to avoid
"filibusters" and the senate has adopted
a rule that no member may use more
than three hours in speaking on meas
ure after two senators of the minority
have spoken, and a vote of the MAORI
ty may close the debate.

Loan the farmer your idle funds and
by so doing help him toproduce a larger

a desirable borrower. There is only
one crop of land and it must produce all
we eat and nearly all we wear.
While the producing power of i'm

are war proof.
Peace or war, the people of the world
must be fed and while this will always
