BIG Philippine SUGAR CROP
Modern Machinery. suppiantlns Hand
Labor, Results In Planting Of
Immense Acreage.

The Philippines are like most Of the
sugar cane growing regions In that the
available labor supply is comparatively
limited. To overcome this, the tractor
and modern power machinery is being
introduced. As this does not pay on
the small plantations. the custom is
for one organization to operate sew
eral hundred or thousand acres, and a
well-organized system Is involved
throughout the year. Labor-savlng de-
vices are employed wherever possible.
The first process in harvesting sugar
cane is stripping the leaves from the
stalks, an operation requiring much
time and labor, as this must be done
by hand. A cane knife or bolo IL used
by the native laborer, who passes the
knife down each side Of the cane,
knocking of and throwing them into
the middle of the row, where other la
borers pick them up and load them
to be hauled to the mill.
Sugar cane milling under modern
methods may be divided into four es-
sential processes, namely, the extrac-
tIOn Of the Juice from the cane, the
Qualification Of the juice by boiling. the
evaporation Of the juice no as to re-
duce the sugar to the crystalline form,
and the freeing of the sugar from
impurities. The most modern ma
chinery for all operations L. fast being
Installed throughout the Philippine Is
lands, and American consumers may
look forward to securing the bulk Of
their sugar from these distant dots
on the Pacific. which owe their de-
velopment to American capital and
American leadership.

FUNSTON As STRIKE BREAKER
Used Rifle a. Psrsuadsr TO Induce In
dian Packers to Proceed on
Journey.

In 1893 Frederick Funston set out
for Alaska on commission to collect
botanical specimens. Today the trail
over ChilkOot pass Is familiar, but at
that time 1t was known only to Indian
guides and few daring miners who
had followed Its devious ways. Funs-
ton with two companions went up the
pass and over to the Yukon, says the
Youths Companion. One incident of
the trip he describes In his own pic
turesque language as follows:
1.-THE Indians carried the loads while
we dragged the empty sleds. The snow
fell necessarily for five days, and 1t lay
along our route from 5 to so feet deep.
Day after day we wallowed and strug-
gled on as we worked our way grad
ually upward to the summit Of the
range. One cheerful little diversion
occurred on the second day. The low
browed chief packer who seemed to
have charge Of the other Indians threw
his load into the snow and announced
that unless their pay was materially
increased he and the other packers
would get themselves back to the VII
lage. and thus leave us in a pretty
pickle.
"My temper had been at white heat
all day. and without thinking what
might be the consequence Of such q
move, I showed the muzzle of cooked

the effect which the entrance of Morey

It was predicted in some circles that
while Morey would probably poll a
heavier vote than he did in 1914.
Stokes would probably secure fewer
votes, owing to the number of candi-
