that the Filipinos raised a division
of soldiers and stood ready to raise
as many more as might be requir-

square miles and a coast line of
1880 miles. All the islands are
very small except Mindanao and
Luzon
The islands are Of volcanic origin
and are located within the Pacific
volcanic belt. Coal is present in
many parts of the islands, as are
gold and iron The latter is used
occasionally by the natives. Cop
Ter is reported to be plentiful.
In 1910 the population was esti-
mated to be somewhere over S,276,-
500. The most important source of
y ealth of the inhabitants is agri-
culture. the staple products OF the
islands being Manila hemp. tobacco,
sugar cane. coffee and maize.
That the American rule in the
Philippines has been successful is
shown by the very modern build
ings and progressive institutions on
the islands.

SONS OF ILLINOIS

NEW YORK CITY

Returning Illinois war heroes are

A. Vanderbilt, Cecil Page, Ralph
Crews and DIR. John H. Finley are
vice chairmen.
The committee has fitted up club
rooms, an entire five-story dwell
ing having been leased for the pur-
pose. Home newspapers are pro-
vided and these are a source of
much joy for the homecoming
fighters. Columns are eagerly
scanned for news of loved ones.

papers hold first place in the
hearts of the heroes. Yes-even

which is served to them by for

Home folks are urged by the
committee to write to all illinois
men who have not yet returned, in

nittee, to make use of the club
rooms when they reach New YORK.

The club house, at 107 East 34th
street, literally has been made over
for the reception of the men. Mrs.
Howard H. Spaulding, head of the
house committee, has striven to
make the quarters as homelike and
comfortable as possible. The first
floor of the dwelling is devoted to
lounge and living rooms, where the

KIDNEYS MEAN
A WEAK BODY

When you're fifty, your body begins to
creak a little at the hinges. Motion is
more slow and deliberate. "Not so young
as l used to be" is a frequent and unwel-
come thought. Certain bodily functions
upon which good health and good spirits
so much depend, are impaired The weak
spot is generally the bladder. Unpleasant
symptoms show themselves. Painful and
annoying complications in other organs
arise. This is particularly true with el-
derly people. If you only know how, this
trouble can be obviated.

sion service and started in to farm. All
the money he had was $3.50, but there
was no lack of energy and ambition in
his makeup-and that goes a long way
in farming.
That $50, hard-earned money. too,
was the first payment on 100 acres;
and a very poor horse and II COW
comprised the initial live stock.
Nerve and integrity, slough, IN
swered as security for another horse,
and careful management and good
financial Judgment produced results
sufficient to enable this Woodworking
demonstration to make the second pay
ment on his place in the fall. This
was largely from receipts from butter,
chickens and eggs.
This is the account of the rest Of
the achievements, told by the county
| agent:
"The second year he bought a better
team and was enabled to cultivate his
crop in the better way as he OK
pressed it. The second year he met
his third payment and had some II
plus funds left and WAS in a position
to go on Il cash basis the next year
The fourth payment on his farm vas
met promptly and with Il larger II
plus Of money than before. Besides, he
had a number Of good cows, hogs and
horses, and Il flock of chickens and
turkeys. From this years work he had
sold $1,65O worth Of cotton and seed
marketed ST2O worth Of feed, besides
having enough on hand for farm use
next year, sold $40 worth of poultry
and now has Over 100 hens on the
farm. He has sufficient hogs for hi:
meat and will offer for sale about $500
worth besides.
"He has on the farm $500 worth OF
horse stock, has some good mich COWS
and has $3.50 on deposit to his credit
in the local bank. He is erecting Il lit
! tie house and says that the farm and
it's happy associations are good enough
for him. The vital point Of this story
Of this farmers operations during the
past four years is that he has paid
for his farm, is free from debt, and
has placed himself upon Il cash basis
and has accumulated q surplus while
a neighbor on ain adjoining farm OF
GAO acres is barely making Il living"

Bull Associations.

The first bull association in the Uni
ted States was organized in 1908 by
the Michigan Agricultural college. It
was a cooperative venture similar to
those which have existed in Europe for
a long time. On July 1, 1917, there
were in this country 36 active associa-
tons in II states, with a total. men,
hership Of 1,15S, owning 1S9 pure-bred
bulls. These cooperative organiza-
lions enable the owners Of small herds
to unite in the purchase 0; one good
bull, SO that each may w a share in
a registered sire Of high quality.
Though still in its infancy, the 20.
operative bull association movement
promises to become eventually a very
great factor in the improvement Of
dairy cattle in the United States.

and other enemies to crops that
birds are most directly asSOci-
ated with the welfare Of man. 1t

country, as to whether any GER
tain bird is beneficial or injuri-
Gus to farmers, but in the United

the Farmer" more than so spe-
cies of birds common to farming

birds treated in the bulletin are:

MANY BIRDS ARE
USEFUL ON farm
What 1t Eats Decides Whether
F%eathered Songster Is Bene-
fetal or Injurious.
MANY FRIENDS OF FARMERS
Department of Agriculture Offers to
Tell AgricuIturist Whether lnhabi-
tants Of FIELDS Are Doing
More Good Than Harm.

Whether a bird is beneficial or in
furious to growing crops depends al
most entirely upon what it eats. If
it nsum harmful insects the bird
Is an ally of the farmer; if it feeds
largely on growing crops it may be
m enemy. Not all birds are bene-
fetal, but the useful kinds. far out
number the injurious, and so great is
their value as insect destroyers in the
United States that to them the United
States department of agriculture gives
credit Of being M Of the greatest con
trolling factors in limiting the devel-
Opment of insect pests and in prevent
ing many disastrous outbre:l Ks.
In the case Of species Which are
abundant or which feed to some extent
on crops, the question of their aver
age diet becomes Ohe of supreme i'm
pOrtance and only by stomach exami-
nations can it be satisfactorily solved.
Field observations have proved to be
inconclusive. Birds are often accused
Of eating this or that product Of cul-
tivation, when an examination of the
stomachs shows the accusation to be
false.
Aid offered to Farmers.
The biological survey of the United
States department of agriculture has
conducted in the past few years u sys-
tematic investigation of the food Of
the species most common about farms
and gardens and offers to supply infOr-
nation to any farmer in doubt as to
whether his birds are an asset or a
liability.
kind Of food that is most accessible,
especially when their natural food is
scarce or wanting. Thus they ONE
times injure the crops of thu farmer
who has unintentionally destroyed
their natural food in his improvement
of swamp or pasture. Much Of the
damage done by birds and complained
of by farmers and fruit growers arises:
from this very cause. The berry-bear-
ing shrubs and se%ed-bearing weeds
have been cleared away, and the birds
have no recourse but to attack the cul-
tivated grain or fruit which has re-
placed their natural food supply.
Destroy Many Insects.
The great majority Of land birds
subsi:t upon insects during the period
Of nesting and melting, and also feed
their young upon them during the first
fewfweeks. Many species live almost
entirely upon insects, taking vegetable
food only wilen other subsistence fails.
1t is thus evident that in the course of
q year birds destroy an incalculable
number of insects, and it is difficult to
overestimate the value of their serv-
ices in restraining the great tide OF in
sect life.
In winter, in the northern part of
the country, insects become scarce or
entirely disappear. Many species of
birds, however, remain during the cold
season anc are able to maintain life
by eating vegetable food, as the seeds
Of weeds. Here again is another use
full function of birds in destroying
these weed seeds and thereby lessen
ing the growth Of the next year.
