distorted in this country, according to
the claim of the Filipinos, and n
reason for their a~ssembly's appropria-
ton of an ample sum to cover the ex-
pense of the banquet is the correction
of such harmful Misrepresentation as
have been circulated here. So actual
specimens of the Filipino's handicraft
and from his plantations will be dis
played before the Journalists, and it is
hoped through them to advertise the
present stage of Filipino advancement.
American capital will be more easily
interested in Philippine projects, that
government reasons, if specimens of
their production be actually shown as
such in this country. These exhibits
will include the famous Manila hemp,
sugar. cane, tobacco, copra\ and cocoa,
nut oil. And there will be shown some
Of the choicest fruits of the tropics
mango, mangosteen, bananas and pine-
apples, as well as many others. Sam
pies of Philippine hardwoods will COM
prise another of the long list Of de-
partments given attention.
To further promote the diffusion of
this knowledge a wide collection of
souvenirs for distribution among the
guests accompanied the shipload of
banquet materials. Water color sketch
o. of Philippine Genes on fiat sea-
shells, paper weights mounted with
mother-of-pearl cones, fans of different
designs and coloring, napkin rings of
"nito," rattan and bamboo and swag-
ger sticks of ebony are a few Of the
gifts the journalists will carry home.
Manuel L. Quezon, president of the
Philippine senate, is expected to be
among the distinguished speakers at
the Observation-Disclosures banquet.
Quezon was for six years the Philip
pine delegate to Congress and has long
been an ardent advocate of closer
trade relations between America and
the Philippines.

In Memory of Our Dear Baby.

God, in His infinite wisdom, has
seen fit to call home our darling baby,
little Florence Ilene Barger, daughter
of Stephen and Bessie Barger. She
was born September 2, 1919, and died
September ~, 1920. She leaves a
father, mother, one brother and two
sisters to mourn her. Oh, why dio
the Destroying Angel select her as a
sacrifice? We loved her so dearly
but God loved her best. She was on
ly sick a short time. Membraneous
Group vas the fatal malady that took
our darling from US. Sad, sad to
come home without BABY, but we have
hopes of meeting our precious one
again where therell be no tears or
sorrow.
A precious one from US is gone,
A little voice we love is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.

event of the eleventh annual Journal
ism Week of the School of Journalism,
University of Missouri.
It is unlikely that such a feast has
ever before been nearer to this u
try than the end of a long ocean voy-
age, for this is to be a truly Philip
pine banquet, consisting entirely Of
foods produced in the Islands, and it
will be prepared and served by native
Filipinos.
Tender, delicious "lechon," one of
the most popular dishes in the Philip
pines and an essential part of any.real-
ly representative banquet, will have a
prominent place among the strange
foods offered the diners. Lechon trans
lated into English is the equivalent of
roast pig, but to prepare it to the
taste of the Filipino will require all the
skill of the native cooks who accom-
panied the shipment of food from Ma
Mia. In. making their final arrange
ments here they will observe all the
customs of the Islands, every detail be-
ing carried out to the letter.
To make lechon p~resentable for the
table the young pigs are barbecued on
bamboo poles owe open charcoal fires.
When the several layers of banana
leaves enveloping it are burned the
fire is allowed to die down and the
lechon bakes gradually until the meat
is crisp and brown. With it's peculiar,
delicious flavor and highly seasoned
stutfing, this Filipino dish is assured a
favorable reception at the end of its
long journey to the feast of visiting
journalists.
Another item of the strange menu
is called 'ubi," and it is the ice cream
of the Philippines. This cooling dish
takes its name from the ubi plant of
the Islands, which is used to give it a
pleasant flavor and attractive lavender
color. American caterers would find
considerable difficulty preparing the
long list Of foods that will be served
by Filipino walters.
A Filipino orchestra composed of
students who are now attending uni
versities and colleges in America will
entertain the diners with native melo-
dies consistent with the Philippine set
ting.
Decorations typical Of the Philip
pines and including extensive indus
trial and agricultural exhibits illustrat-
ing the quality of products of the Is
lands will transform the banquet hall
into a beautiful scene of the tropics.
The collection of these exhibits, un
der the direction of Jose e. Sanvic-
torres, is an important part of the ban
quet plans, for through them the gov
eminent hopes to impress on America
the facts concerning recent Philippine
progress. These facts have been sadly

In Memoriam.

When the shadows OF evening had al.
ready cast their dusky folds over the
earth andon the door steps Of the hith-
erto happy home Of Brother and Sister
Cheatham the insidious monster, Death,
invaded the sacred domaia, and removed
from the family circle their little daugh-
ter, Isabel James, from the scenes of this
lowly earth to the realms beyond.
She was born May "a, 1916, and died
September 23d, 1920, aged 4 years, a
months and 9 days, On the Sabbath
previous to her death she expressed an
anxious desire to go to the Sunday School
at Fort Hill where she had been a regu-
lar attendant. Although manifesting
some indications of indisposition, the
mother little dreamed OF the pressure of
the fateful disease-diphtheria, which
had begun its destructive work upon the
child's delicate frame, gave her consent.
While in the church She grew worse,
which condition continued until the end
came.
With tenderest affection our prayers
and sympathies go out to the almost
broken-hearted parents, who, by their
consistent example among their neigh.
bors during their brief ~sojourn in Area
dia and generous qualities OF mind and
heart, have won the esteem and respect
of those who have come in touch with
tine m. May He who tempers the wind
TO the shorn lamb deal tenderly with
them!~ L. H. DAVIS.

Proper View of Peace.

Peace is u proper relation to all
men. There is no reason why, as far
as we are concerned, we should not
be at peace with everybody. If even
they are not at peace with US, we may
be at peace with them. Lets them
look to their own hearts, we have
only to do with our own.-J. B. Mosley.

YES, President Wilson did every
thing possible to a self-respecting
people to keep US out Of the great
war; but when the outrages of the
arrogant German government reach
ed the limit, American participation
became a necessity. And the war
was quickly fought to, a finish, not
withstanding the traitorous aid given
the foe by the pro-German element
in this Countrywide same element
that is now being courted by the Re-
publican leaders, and by whose aid
they hope to win in November.

Nations, and even descends to a gen.

righteousness of President Wilson,

 zen's dress, styled simply Leonard Wood.''
 And in the south the original enthus-
 iasm for the soldier candidate apparently
 wanes. He has captured Mississippi, true
 enough. but in Alabama. Georgia and
 the Carolinas his boom apparently col
 lapses. In part this Is due to the fact
 that the Wood campaign in the south is
 intrusted to Senator Moses of New Hamp-
 shire. Unfortunately, in this emergency, it becomes known that Moses is one of
 those down customers" before whose
 eyes the south appears as a red flag. His
 animosity quite recently expressed itself
 in the form of a resolution calling on
 Congress to inquire into the manner in
 which the south regulates suffrage which
 in plain language means demand that
 the south permit indiscrfmnate negro voting or suffer reduction in it's rep Iresentation in Congress.
 While the average southern republican
 has no lasting regard for the history of
 the south. and is willing to forget and
 forgive the horrors of reconstruction, he, nevertheless, admits repugnance to po- 1itical and social equality between the white and black races. But Moses will not retire from the southern campaign,
 it is asserted.
 ! While the "progressives, Wood and Johnson, claim that the issue is an issue between them, Governor Lowden and Senator Harding, conservatives called by their enemies ''reactionaries, indicate no intention to retire from the field. Gov ernor Lowden seems to make headway over Harding, but the fact that Harding is the favorite of Senator Penrose, indi-
 ca.tes volumes. For Penrose, though fat and sick and absent, is the big brain, and
 the big boss of the republican machine, and he does not deny or display shame that that Is true. If history repeats itself, Penrose will put Wood and Johnson among the discards when he so desires, or force them to split up the party and suffer the election of democrat. Penrose is an "old-timer," with the political ideas of one He is a protec- tionist. and is preparing. in the event of
 the election of a republican President, to write real protection legislation. His fn- tention and his power were well indi- cated some weeks ago, when Representa- tive Fordney, chairman of the House ways and means committee, rushed to the Senate boss with a number of tariff bills in the production of which he had spent many anxious and arduous hours. "Pop-gun bills," shouted Penrose, toss- ing them itno the waste basket There they have since remained, and there they will remain until forgotten.
 And some of these days Penrose will re- fer to Wood and Johnson as 'pop-glH1' candidates. and they will disappear. Oth- erwise, history will have abandoned it's habit of repeating itself.

This mention has become so prcnoune ed that it is an open secret that Gcnt ral Wood has ordered the replace
