Independence for Filipinos.

There is one place under protection
of the American flag where there is no
problem of unemployment and where
labor disputes are unknown. That is
the Philippine Islands, which have
prospered remarkably in the war, with
none Of the drawbacks experienced in
other countries. This is a great and
wonderful change from a quarter of a
century, ago, when the Filipinos were
poor, unlettered savages, practically
slaves to their Spanish masters y
Now they have a Legislature, with
both branches under control of native
majority. They have a budget system
which it would be we'll to copy in Wash
ington, abolishing our wasteful plan of
every member of Congress adding his
bit to the appropriation bills in order to
favor some particular locality. They
are actually hungry for American edu-
cation and have appropriated s50,00O,-
900 for their primary schools.
Their sailors and soldiers have
fought beside those from America in
the great war and have won praise for
tAiSlA IStllS oh Lie SCtt ttIitl lilC puttiC-
fields of France. They are industrious
in civil life as well and have a surplus
Of $17,000000 in the Filipino Treasury.
They have established Bureau of
Commerce and Industry to promote in
ternational trade. Now they are asking
for independence that has been prom
ised them by Congress and have the
support Of the American government in
their demand. -
The Germans considered us ''idiotic"
for erecting Cuba into a free state in
stead of keeping it for ourselves, and
now apparently we are about to repeat
the experiment with regard to the
PHILIPPINES. This is really the spirit Of
American Liberty enlightening the
world and a process of which every citi-
zen of the United States ought to feel
proud. The most democratic govern
ment in the Far East will, in turn, be
beacon Of freedom to kindred peoples
in those distant regions, thus aiding the
upward progress Of ion.-New

YARN AND NEEDLES SENT
TO EUROPEAN REFUGEES.
This Does Not Mean Cessation of
Knitting in America Says
Headquarters.

TO give employment to thousands Of
refugee women in France, Belgium,
Italy, Rumania, Serbia, Greece.
Montenegro, Palestine, Albania, and
other war-swept countries, and there
by help them to help themselves, the
American Red Cross has just shipped
to its Commission for France more
than 100000 pounds Of yarn and S22,
459 sets Of knitting needles, the whole
valued at s., 316,445. The distribu-
ton of this material will be made as
equitably as possible by the Commits
sion for France which is intimately
acquainted with the needs in the var
ious countries.
Red Cross authorities at national
headquarters are particularly anxious
that this large shipment of yarn and
needles be not interpreted as justify
ing the slightest cessation Of Red
Cross knitting activity in America.

The Revised Covenant.

The proposed League Of Nations Cow
enant, in its revised form, as finally
adopted by the Peace Conference, has
been made public. Quite few changes
have been made in the document and
certain defects in phraseology have
been cleared up. Whether the revised
covenant will meet all the objections
that have been raised against it by o..
s. senator's and other public men, re-
mains to be SEEN. The more important
changes are:
Amendment of the covenant is made
slightly less difficult.
Provision is made for enlargement Of
the council making it possible to admit
Russia and perhaps Germany and Aus
tria as permanent members when con-
ditions are propitious.
Domestic jurisdiction is affirmed.
Members of the league may with
draw.
Equality of the sexes is recognized.

cognized

effort that the world has yet put forth
to rid itself Of war. No one can claim
that the Constitution of the United
States is a perfect instrument and
grave fears were entertained by many
good and well meaning citizens at the
time Of it's adoption, that the death

time has proved these fears to be TN
grounded. The same will likely prove
true in regard to the League of Nations.

mankind has been longing, then the

Education for Country Life.

Many country people desire to give
their young people something more
than high school education. They
want them to be mentally trained to
compete with the best minds of these
strenuous times. But they have the
feeling that young people sent to the
ordinary classical and scientific college.
will be. enticed away from rural life.
Country people would commonly like to
see their young folks come home and
help build up the rural community.
The agricultural colleges, as conduct
ed some years ago,soften seemed to
educate the young people away from
the farm. Rarely did their graduates
return to till the paternal acres. They
were likely to become managers Of
fancy farms for wealthy men, or to
take up such lines as forestry, soil
chemistry, the fertilizer business,
nursery stock, etc. All splendid lines Of
work. Yet they did not always help
maintain rural institutions.
The agricultural colleges now under
stand that it is their business to show
how rural life can be put on sound
economic basis. That means that I'M
less their graduates can make good
living themselves in ordinary farm
( country, the course is not a success.
Many girls are taking agricultural
/ college courses. They are there taught
to love rural life, to desire to spend
their lives amid it's satisfaction, and to
build it up. They learn economical
housewifery, preservation of food pro
ducts BY canning, planning of com:
Portable and artistic home, how to care
for the sick, how to MAKE attractive
and pleasing clothes.
Thus they become economically indie
pendent of city life. The more young
people take these courses, the soundel
I the foundations Of rural life become.

Plan Your SilO
Construction Now

Profitable livestock feeding, due to !
the unusual conditions, and particular
ly to the high prices Of hay and grain,
has become largely matter Of utiliz-
ing roughages to the fullest extent. !
Farmers who have or contemplate
building a silo are fortunate indeed, for
they will be in position to meet the
situation and produce the maximum
amount of milk, beef, and mutton most
economically. Evidence that the silo
has become an actual necessity in most
sections Of the country for the pro-
duction of these staple food products is
not only borne out by the many expert
ments conducted by the different exper
iment stations throughout the country,
but by the experience of thousands of
farmers everywhere who have changed
from old to the new way of utilizing
the corn crop.
There are many advantages in the
use of the silo, but the principal one is.
that silage is the cheapest and most
profitable form in which succulent
feed for winter use may be provided.
Perhaps one Of the greatest values Of
silage lies in the fact that it enables
the farmer to greatly increase the
carrying capacity Of his farm. Itsor-
dinarily takes the production from !
acre Of meadow to carry a 1,O0O-pound
steer or COW through the winter. The
same area, If planted to corn or surg
hum and put into the silo, would carry
three or more such animals, the same
being true when fed to fattening cattle
or for the production Of milk. Approx
imately the same amount Of feed may
Ibe produced from one-third the area Of
crop land thus used, or three times as
many animals may be fed from the
same acreage.
While it is true that all farmers do
not need silo, yet It is imperative that
those having as many as 10 to 10
mature cattle or their equivalent should
carefully consider the building Of q silo
at once. Cooperation with neighbors
will make 1t possible to purchase silo-
filling machinery at minimum cost and
to gil the silo quickly, economically,

HOW CANCER BEGINS.
(Abstract from Campaign Notes, Amer
lean Society for the Control
of Cancer).

Cancer begins in one spot. as a small
growth, which in the early stages can
easily be removed. II neglected. how
ever, it spreads and gets beyond control
An attack Of cancer may be likened to
a fire in a house, which if discovered
soon after it's start, a bucketful of
water may eXtinguish. If cancer is
discovered at the very beginning, the
slight Operatio which is necessary to
painful than the extraction Of a tooth
OF having ones tonsils out" If the
matter is delayed it may take all the
skill of our best surgical experts and
all the help of our most expensive sciel-
tific apparatus to root out the danger.
In case the matter is delayed too long
the unfortunate individual who is
afflicted with itmust abandon all hope
An early recognition Of the disease is
at present the all-important factor in
it's control, and until physicians know
more about the real causes of cancer
our chief hope Of overcoming this
enemy of the human race must lie in
the fact that people everywhere will
learn to recognize the danger signal Of
the early stages, and seek advice and
treatment while there is yet time.
| Sometimes certain Of these cells be-
gin to grow and develop along lines
which are not in harmony with the
usual order. A little group of the cells
seem#to form kind of lawless colony
which constitutes an unhealthy and
growing spot in the body. This spot
may occur on the skin, in the breast,
in the stomach, in the throat, or in any
'Other part Of the body. Frequently the
cells form little hard nodule or lump,
which can easily be detected by the
sense Of touch, and which can very
easily be cut out with the surgeons
knife, leaving little or no Disagreement.
If, however, the abnormal growth,
(which is thus started, is allowed to
continue, it invades the surrounding
Tissues, and eventually parts Of the
original growth may break of and be
|carried in the blood to other parts Of
the body, where they start secondary
|growths.
It is just as though, in a case Of fire,
1.-THE wind might carry sparks and
/ flaming shingles to other parts Of the
building starting fires there. It is i'm
Iportant to remember, that cancer is moi
la constitutional or blood disease, like
Typhoid or malaria, for instance. When
1--we are sick with typhoid, we are 'sick
lall over But when we are afflicted
with cancer, we may be afflicted only
lin some tiny spot, and we may be per
Ifectly well and wholesome in every
llother portion Of the body. This is one
.lof the most comforting things about
!. thsi otherwise unpleasant disease.
