ment that farmer has"
Silage is the best means whereby
young stock can be kept growing and
thrifty. It enables the farmer to pro-
vide feed for his cattle any time of the
season. From the point Of economy,
silage has almost no equal.
For a dairyman, silage is the pivot
upon which revolves his success be-
cause it enables his cows to produce
more milk and butter and from mon
ey standpoint, it is the most econ
omical feed. And for beef production
in Redwood County silage is the most
important factor to make it a real
economical success.
Think of the large amount of waste
of corn stalks If it were not for the
silo. Think of the corn stalks which
besides serving as a feed to the ami
mails. is converted into fertility for the
soil. Moreover, the silo makes pala-
table food of stuff that otherwise
would not be eaten.
But perhaps the outstanding fea-
ture of a good silo is that it makes
provision for the keeping and feeding
of a large number of animals on a Civ
en- number of acres. The man with a
silo can maintain herd in any time
of the year when pastures are short
And what is more silo enables the
farmer to preserve food which natures
at rainy time of the year when dry
ing would be next to impossible.

Facts and FanCieS
Anent Philippines
By Maxine NJ. Kalaw, Secretary of the
Philippine Mission.

A certain lady at the ST. Louis ex-
position saw at ballroom brown
complexioned man clad in faultless ev-
ening dress, and accessed him with
the inquiry, 4 suppose you are Japa-
nese, sir 2"
The man addresser replied, mo ma
dam "Then you must be Chinese, !"
she said, mo am not; am Flip
mo-" he replied.
Flows that?" asked the lady, 81
thought they were all savages living
in the woods"
"Well, I'll tell you how came here 2"
he said "A month before | left the
Philippines | was living in the woods,
but the American governor decided to
catch as many wild men as possible,
train them, and send them over here
So the American forces were immedi-
ately set in motion, we were taken from
the woods and kept for a month at
the governors palace, taught how to
dress and speak a little English, and
then sent over here. So here | am,
just as you see" And the ST. Louis
lady actually believed him.
That is what you would call fan
cies about the Philippines. The fact
is, however, that the 100000 Flip
mos and their ancestors have been civ
ilized and Christians for three hun
bred years; that the non-C Christian pop
ulation, according to the census of 1913
is only 100000.
Another fancy is that not until the
coming of the Americans were school
buildings seen in the island, roads
built, or substantial houses erected.
Do you know thatefor hundreds of
years the Filipinos have had colleges
and schools, and that the University
of Santo Tomas is only twenty-five
years older than Harvard? That as
early as 1866, out of population of
100000, there were 841 schools for
boys and 833 for girls That is 1892,
eight years before the coming of the
Americans, there were 2,137 schools
"To grant self government to Luzon
under Aguinaldo would be like grant
ing government to an Apache re-
servation under some local chief" Thus
spoke former Filipino-American war.
Exaggeration could be an excuse at a
time when the dignity of the American
people demanded the extinction of Fill
ipino opposition: but do you know
that the Philippine republic, before the
American occupation of the islands,
had the approval of prominent Am
orleans who were on the spot like John
Barrett, director of the Pan American
union, who compared it favorably with
the Japanese government? That Adj
miral Dewey considered the Filipino
better fitted for. self government than
the Cubans? That they had drafted
a constitution at Malolos which the APP

cans they had produced heroes like the

and pronounced by Republican con-
gresham, Representative Cooper, as

Possibly the geographical situation
Of the Philippines had something to
do with the fancifuI estimate the St.
Louis lady had. The Philippines are
just next door to Borneo, where scien-
lists have hunted in vain for Darwin's
missing link between the money and
the supermonkey. They are close to
Java, where the small country of Hol-
land has ruled for hundreds of years

vided up into scores of native states
and by almost impossible caste bar
riers. But do you know that the Flip
mos have not had for hundreds of
years any caste system, blood distinc-
ton, or royal families, and that, I'M
like their Oriental sisters, they are
the only Christian people in the ORR
ent?
People have pictured an ignorant
mass of Filipinos illiterate, poor, liv-
ing a life of servitude for few veal
thy land owners and foreigners, with
no houses and farms or property of
their own. Do you know that 70 per
cent of the people above ten years of
age can read and write, and that this
percentage of illiteracy is almost as
high as some of the states of the Uni
on? That it is higher than in airy
country of South America higher than
the literacy of the Spanish people, and
unquestionably above that of any of
the new countries recognized in Eur
ope? Do you know that there are
million and half farms in the Phil
ippines and that SO per cent of these
farms are owned by Filipinos? In
other words, that out of the ten mil
lion Christian Filipinos, eight million
of them at least live on their own
farms, with houses of their own, indie
pendent of any absentee landlord, or
foreign master? That 81 per cent of
the urban property, consisting of hous-
es and lands, is owned by the natives
of the Philippines and only 9 per cent
is in the hands of foreigners Yet
these are facts which have just been
cabled by Acting Governor General
Charles Emmett Yeater to the war de-
partment from the recent census esti-
mates.
The Philippine legislature recently
sent Special mission to the United
States to request the fuflillment of
Americas promise to grant indepen-
dence. 1t is their plea that the speci-
fled condition precedent to the grant
ing of autonomy-the establishment of
stable government already full
filled. Their representations are in
| dorsed in every particular by Francis
Burton Harrison, who has been the
American governor-general in the
Philippines for six years, and is in 9
! position to speak from actual obser-
walton.
"By temperament, by experience, by
financial ability, says Governor Har.
rison, "In every way the ten millions
of Filipinos are entitled to be free from
every government except of their owr
choice. They are intelligent enough
! to decide for themselves"

He pointed particularly to the Lake

judge had practically nothing to do.

salaries.

Senators Banks and Moser defended
the bill, asserting that 50 long as the
increase in salaries was going to be
paid by Multnomah county the rest Of
the state should not object.

STRUGGLE BETWEEN
PRUSS|ANS AND SOUTH
GERMANS CONTINUES.
Plans For National Assembly
AT Weinar Precipitating
Trouble.
By Frank ]. Taylor

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Weimar, Germany. Feb. 4. = The
struggle between the Prussians and
South Germans for control of the new
German republic increased in scope
and intensity today as preparation con
tlnued for convening the national as
sembly here today.
This factional fight had developed
new plan for breaking up the geo
graphical divisions of the old empire
and forming all of Germany into
completely federalized republic, as op.
posed to the original plan of organic,
ing new states into a small loosely con
structed confederation. At present, the
Prussian population controls the coun-
| try. This condition would be augmenC-
ed, rather than deprecated, by split,
ting up Prussia into several states be-
cause of the increased voting power it
would give them. The socialists are
back of the new scheme for wholly
centralized government They are nat
urally opposed by the Pan-Germans,
ilnkers and conservatives, who are es-
sentially pro-Prussian.
1t is not clear yet whether the move
7 ent will gain sufficient support from
the south Germans, who are prouo that
they are different from the Prus-
SLAMS and wish to retain their individ-
uality as well as government.
The Bavarians regard the choice of
Weimar as meeting place for the ma
tional assembly as victory over the
Prussians indicating a possibility of
rebuilding of the capital here.
But Berlin holds the belief that Wei
mar was selected only because it is
quiet and safe from bolshevist demon
strations. Berlin even expects the as
sembly to adjourn to that city within
a fortnight.

Senate bill 95, by Huston, providing

Senate bill "a, by Pierce, was kill
ed by being indefinitely postponed.
The bill provided that all public work
must be done by public employees on

Senate bills 81 and IS also were
killed by being indefinitely postponed.

penalties for the stealing of automo-
biles or for taking machines of others
for joyrides, or for stealing robes or
other equipment from machine. Sen
ator Moser explained that all these Of

Increase Judges salaries
While a number of senators were
decidedly suspicious of senate bill ITO,
which was introduced by the Multno-
nah delegation and increases the sal
aries of the circuit judges of Multno
nah from $4,000 to $4,000 a year, the
bill passed the senate yesterday after
noon by a vote Of q to 6, and three
senators absent.
Senator Smith of Josephine pointed
out the possibility of this bill being
an entering wedge for general in
crease in circuit judge salaries thru
out the state. He said a few years ago
the salary of circuit judges was $4,000
year, while in Multnomah county the
salary was increased to $4,000. 1t was
but short while then until a bill was
put through increasing the salary of
all circuit judges to $4,000.
Pretty soon they will come in and
ask to raise the salary of all circuit
judges to $5000," he said. eff you
want to raise salaries, why not come
in with a square bill ad raise them
ALL"
Seator LaFollett opposed the bill,
and wanted to know how many of the
Multnomah delegation intended to run
for circuit judge next time.
Senator Dimick pointed out that the
state had more judicial districts than
