 \ School Boys Record
 Here is the record of what one school boy in the Philippines did in the way of food production which was an incentive to the inhabitants of an entire island to make their land more productive. He virtually taught them by his example the lessons of crops rotation and that the land by proper cultivation could be made to produce more than 1t had ever yielded before.
 This boy was Nelquia5es Gale, of the fourth grade, island Of Anda. He enrolled in the Corn-growtng contest, but on the lot which was assigned 10 him raised also rice, a second crop ot | corn, tobacco, papayas, beans. arrow root and sweet potatoes.

TRUMAN H. NEWBERRY

Truman H. Newberry, United States
Senator from the state of Michigan, has
been bought into the courts on the charge
that ne has violated the laws of the land
IN the matter of campaign expenses
From present indications it looks al
though he will be speedily tried, so that
verdict can be rendered in order to set
tie the matter before the next election. If
Senator Newberry is guilty he should be
quickly expelled, just is Lorimer and 9TH
ers have been expelled from the Senate.
Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of the Re-
publican Publicity bureau sounds note
which we cannot endorse. He argues not
that Newberry is innocent, while at the
same time he may be, but that Henry
ltord did the same thing, and that the
acts OF Ford were upheld by the admins
tration, at least upheld to the extent that
the administration is bounding Newberry
while it is letting Ford go Scott free. That
is not the point. If Ford was a violator
OF the law in his campaign that is no ex-
cuse for Senator Newberry, and because
delinquent administration plays favorA
ties, and allows its friends to 90 Scott
Tree ana at the same time Furnishes its
enemies, is no reason why Newberry
should not be punished. The thing to do
is to give Newberry the full extent of the
law, whether he be Democrat or Republi-
can, whether he be rich or poor, whether
ne be friend or foe of the administration.
and then the people should rise in their
might at the next election and drive from
power the un-American administration
that truckles to the feet Of Henry Ford
and his ilk. The facts are Newberry is
a Republican, multi-millionaire, and
foe Of the administration, while Ford
was Wilson mugwump, and would have
been servile tool of the administration

ROOsEvELTIAN

When General Leonard Wood went to
Gary, Indiana, at the time of the recent
steel strike, he said to John Fitzpatrick:
II am here on behalf of the
government to see that any man
who wants to work shall do so
without fear, and that any man
who does not want to work shall
refrain without fear, if we have
to shoot the man who interferes
with either"
Those words are strictly Rooseveltion.
