PHILIPPINES Need Tractors.

Long-continued ravages of rinderpest
have greatly reduced the number of
carabao in the Philippines, writes a
correspondent. The continued expan-
sion of agriculture in the islands,
therefore, will create a good demand
for a light farm tractor to be sold at
reasonable price. Purchases of heavy
tractors which sell at high prices will
be limited to few of the larger haci-
endas, but the market for light tractors
for small planters and cooperative
groups will be general. No such trac-
FOR so far introduced into the islands
has been satisfactory.

A Hint to The Aged.

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain
in bed for one or two days, they
would recover much more quickly,
especially if they take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. There would also
be less danger Of the cold being fol-
lowed by any of the more serious dis
eases.-Ady.

Evolution Of Wheeled Vehicles.

When the world awakened from Its

during which the art Of vehicle con-

A. D., marked improvements are found.
Emperors and kings wed with each
other in the effort to outshine and out
class one another, and through this
rivalry we note substantial advance
ment In 1850 A. D. it is said there
were only three coaches in Paris. and
within the next century we find the
feudal lords throughout continental
Europe supplying themselves with the
most extravagant and luxurious of
equipages, some costing more than
$4,000 each.
The artists skill was employed,
poets sang beautiful songs in their
praise, and the epidemic spread, Gre
ating an eager desire upon all to out

BEWARE OF PERSONS
 WHO ASK FOR FUNDS
 FOR STARVING HUNS.

It is reported to the local chapter of Red Cross that persons have appear ed in Newport and at Diaz asking citizens for funds which will be sent abroad to render aid to the starving Germans. Doubtless the persons are imposters, and if apprehended should be held~ And, also-we can't think of anyone in this community right off the bat who would feel like giving something to aid a starving hun. The Independent is just charit- able enough to believe that if succor is extended to Germany, the govern ment should render such aid and make Germany pay for what she gets. Damn the huns-we just can't help it.

NE EWP0RT MUST
 ID HER SHARE Many Citizens Have Contributed to the Extent of their Ability But
 Others Have Not.

Newport must not let it be said of her that she did not stand nobly by the boys in France. Heretofore our people have responded nobly to all calls that had to do with the main- tenance of the country's armies at home and at abroad, and in Red Cross drives and Y. M. c. A. campaigns succeeded in going over the top every time
 In the present drive for United Var Work Funds the work in Newport is not going forward as it should. Many of our citizens have contribute ed to the extent of their ability, while others have failed in their duty. At this time we should, as never be- fore, be encouraged to give every cent possible to the American boys and the soldiers of our allies as they wait lover there" for orders to either again take up arms, demobilize or perform any other task that may be assigned them. It will be long time before the boys are sent home. While they are in France they must have the things which the organiza- tions represented in the United War Work are able to give them. All of us shouted Monday, we celebrated free- ly, nothing could check our enthusi- asm If it had been for our soldiers, many of them from Newport and Jackson county, we would never have had the opportunity to celebrate as we did
 Let's keep on celebrating. Why not keep our temper alive? Why not go down in our pockets and give just a little more to this United War Work campaign Have not our soldiers mer- tied it? Would it not be grand and glorious feeling to be able to meet Captain Garland Hurt, Lieut.. Sprigg, Sergt. Vaughn, Lieut.. Bevans, Pri- vate Kelley and any number of other Newport Boys who left their mothers, their fathers, their sWeethearts, many of them forsaking lucrative positions, to die for us on the battlefield- would it not be worth whole lot to us if we could, without a heighten- ing of color, clasp the hands of these noble fellows and say, Lads, l ap- preciate what you did for us"
 There will be day of reckoning when the boys come home. God and the boys themselves only know the he'll they have been through.
 When they set foot on home soil they are going to- know who stood by them while they suffered the tor lures of war They will make it bush ness of finding out, and we will not be able to blame them damn bit.
