Insurgent Aguinaldo Is
Now a Business Man

Word comes from the Philippines,
via Seattle, that Emilio Aguinaldo,
famed in his youth as captain of the
insurrectos, is winning new fame in
his sedate middle age as captain of
industry, so to speak.
Not only is he the owner of yalu-
able agricultural holdings in the ISL
ands, returned travellers report but he
is vice-president of two big cocoanut
oil concerns recently organized. One
third of the worlds supply of cocoanut
oil, it is explained, comes from the
Philippine islands and the two COM
panies in which Aguinaldo is interest
ed are important factors in that trade.
During the eighteen years that have
passed since his surrender and accept
ance of American control in the Phil
ippines both Aguinaldo and the islands
have prospered probably beyond his
own expectations. His influence with
his Filipino countrymen continues very
great according to report. But his
liking for revolutions seems to have
vanished entirely and the writer OF
an article on the Philippines, recently
published in an American periodical,
intimated that this one-time passion
ate champion of Philippine independ-
ence is not now disposed to favor the
grant of immediate independence. II
that is true, an explanation of Aguin-
al6o's change of view and of heart,
from his own pen, would be highly in
testing and timely at moment when
many small nationalities are clamor-
ing for independence.-New Orleans

REVENUE RAIDER SHOT
BY DESPERATE GUNMAN.

HILLSBORO, N. C.-Nobody will

until Outlaw Joe" Riley is caught.

notch in his rife for every time he
shot man, there wouldn't be any
butt left to his gun.
For year the state and federal of
ficers have been after him, but he al
ways slips away, says Sheriff Rose
man of Orange-co.
! "I'll pay good price to anybody
who brings him in, dead or alive!"
| Riley is sought by Uncle Sam for
moonshining and shooting Deputy
Collector T. M. Arrowsmith, a rev.
enue officer. He is wanted by the
army for refusing to register. And he
is wanted by the state for several
shootings and for jumping bail.
Recently he was caught making
moonshine whisky But Joe isn't
one of the surrendering kind. He
raised his shotgun and fired charge
full into the face of Deputy Arrow
smith. BY some miracle, Arrow
smiths eyes were missed, but the
rest of his face is still full of small
shot.
Recently Joe Riley shot thru the
head a companion whom he accused
of having reported his moonshine
still to revenue officers. The COM
panion recovered, and so loyal are
the members of Riley's gand to their
leader that he rejoined him.
! Riley was arrested for this shooting
after he had first jumped from the
secOnd-stOry window of his home.
when officers came to get him, and
had shot six times at Deputy Collec-
tor A. p Gates. He was placed un-
der bono, but he jumped it and fed
to the hills. He has a wife and chill
Idren living near Caldwell N. G.
He is as famous down here as the
notorious Allen family in the noun
tains of Virginia.
Riley used to come boldly to Hills
boro three or four times week and
spend his money in a general store.
Once he flashed a roll of 80 hundred
dollar bills.
Deputy Arrowsmith, the particular
enemy of Riley, is the right-hand man
of Col. Vanderford, chief of the reve-
nue. raiders in the Carolina district.
He has the reputation of being one
of the most efficient raiders in the
country. In stature and appearance
he greatly resembled the ascetic,
| thin-faced movie actor, William S.
Hart-and he is just as quick on the
draw" He has an almost uncanny
nose for stills"-they say he can
smell one two miles away.

The nineteenth anniversary num-
Der of the Manila Daily Bulletin re-

work in the printing line, but as typi-

heavy paper cover on which is printed
the seal of the Philippine Islands in

First, find it. Then boil it and after
ward rub every straw carefully with
a rolled oat
Do not use just any rolled oat. Use
only oats that you have rolled your
self. Oats should always be hand
rolled, as rolling oats with machin-
cry heats them too much and causes
the gluten in them to expand and ex-
plode, as in popping corn. To roll an
oat properly you must select an in
cl1ned plane of the right temperature
and get down on your hands and
knees and slowly revolve the oat
down the incline with your thumb
and fore1nger. Oats should only be
rolled down the incline, never UP: to
start rolling an oat downward and

TO roll an oat is to get up at 4 o'clock
IN the morning, before the heat of the
sun has got to the houses and take
the oat to the slanting roof of dwell
ling house. At this hour the neigh
bors will not be disturbed by the
noise and street crowds will not col

the oat from in the morning until

consecutive mornings of this are
enough for one oat.
Count the straws in your Panama
hat, and keep rolling the oats until
you have an Oat rolled for each straw
From 500 to 1000 rolled oats will be
found to be quite sufficient for the
average Panama hat. After the hat

the rolled oats there are three cours-

Two consequences of this unpre-
paredness stand out. First, to use
Sir Douglas words, 'sthe full man
power of the empire was never devel-
oped in the field at any period of the
war" Secondly, "only in 1918 was
it possible to conduct artillery oper-
atoms Independently of any limiting
considerations other than that of
transport" Stated briefly, this all
means that it took the British more
than three years to make up for the
military deficiency in which the war
found them in 1914.
The British experience was dupli-
Gated in this country. We were who'll
ly unready for war and our getting
ready proved, in consequence, to be
frightfully expensive. 1t could not
have been otherwise
Democracies are never foresighted.
They do not grapple with a danger
until it is right upon them. But
faced with a supreme crisis, on the
other hand, they display tremendous
power and capacity for heroism and
self-sacrifice.
It is easy enough to say, and none
will disagree, that we ought to have
teen prepared in 1914, just as Great
Britain ought to have BEEN
But let your mind go back. We
were a peace-loving people with new
er a thought of engaging in foreign
war and never suspicion of being
attacked. 1t took two years and a
half to convince the American people
that they had to fight. They paid a
high price of their unprcparedness.
Whether they have learned from the
experience it not yet clear.

UNPREPAREDNESS.

Filed Marshal Sir Douglas Haig in
his final dispatch dated April 10, 1919,
makes some pregnant comments up
on the military operations of the war
Among the factors that determined
the length Of the war, he makes
prominent mention of Great Britain S
military unpreparedness for war of
such magnitude. "The necessary ma
chinery," Gen. Haig says, had to be
improvised hurriedly, and improvisa-
ton is never economical and seldom
satisfactory"

THE PASSING OF THE LAST OLD
SOLDIER.

Say boys have you heard

That a hundred and fifty
Old soldiers day,
FootsOre and weary,
Have dropped out at last,
Back on the road
Where the column has passed.
A week, seven days,
Bear that number in mind,
Another full regiment
Is tagging behind.
We bid them goodbye
With a tear and a song;
And the column keeps
Steadily marching along.
Every three weeks
Another brigade
Back in the quiet
Old churchyard is laid.
You look at the spot
Where they peacefully sleep,
And each to his place
In the column must keep.
Sixty days division
Forever at rest;
No pickets thrown out,
No foe to modest.
And let it be morning,
At noon or at night,
The column moves on
And is soon out of sight.
Every six months
A full army corps
Goes into camp
On the farthermost shore.
The evening is damp,
But never mind, boys,
Well soon be in camp
Where only are joys.
An army each year
And many / ween,
Sleep meath the soil
With the grass growing green.
An army complete,
Fifty thousand strong,
And the column keeps slowly
Dragging along.
Soon there will be
But an invalid corps
OF an army that numbered
A million or more.

Then regiment small,
Too feeble to note
When a comrade shall fall.
Soon but company,
Then platoon;

When soon, ali! how soon,
