Baguio ranges in elevation from
4,500 to $500 feet and is surrounded
practically on all sides by high noun

into the skies at a height OF almost
5000 feet.
Aside from the scenery which Is
noteworthy, the great blessing of Ba-

indeed a godsend to those impoverish-

NOW THE SILVER BRICK GAME
Variation of the "GoId Brick" swindle
Which Numbered Its Victims by
the Thousands.

Silver bricks, if astutely handled,
may prove as profitable as tie gold
bricks of old. In this story from
Texas, New York, once famous as
a gold brick market, plays part. A
Laredo business man recently re-
ceived two bricks, apparently of sill
yer, from a person in Matehuala,
Mex, with instructions to sell them
on commission at SIG a pound. The
Laredo man engaged some one else
to peddle the bricks for him, and a
sale to firm Of Mexican commission
men there was negotiated, they pay
ing $535 for the bricks which they
believed to be Of pure silver and
which were sold to them in I'D
faith. Forthwith the commission
men sent the silver bricks to a trust
company ID New York with instruc-
tions to sell them at the present mar
ket price Of silver. A few days ago
telegram was received by the un-
fortunate Mexican firm stating that
the supposed silver bricks had been
sent to the mint and returned with
the information that they were
worthless. The denouement is: "The
man in. Matchuala has his money,
the Laredo man has his, while the
members Of the commission firm
have two bricks, and are minus ex-

Elsie Ferguson Comes Out Strong
For General Wood for President,
Saying Women Must Know Politics

GMONG the many valuable assets
~ possessed by General Leonard
Wood as a Presidential candidate IS
the support of Elsie Ferguson, who
has thousands of loyal followers among
theater patrons and, it is no exagger ra-
tion to say, millions of enthusiastic
fans" among those who frequent the
myriad moving picture houses through
out the country.
Miss Ferguson is strong for the gen
eral. Hear her say it: General Wood
would be the ideal President, particu-
larly at this time. He has a wonderful
mind and has had remarkable expert
ence. He is the true American, fear
less, wise and firm, but not regarding
himself as almighty. He would choose
wise lieutenants and then leave the con-
duct of their several departments to
them. He would always be ready to ad
wise, but he would choose experts, as
Roosevelt did, and then, as Roosevelt
did, respect their knowledge, wisdom
and specialized experience. They would
not be fgureheads We would not
have q one-man government.r
"You are interested in politics then .
You find time to inform yourself OF it q
81 make time, as l think every wo-
man should. We have the vote now
and although some of us, including my
self, were not crazy about getting it
now that we have the franchise it is
our duty to study politics, to inform
ourselves as to the relative merits of
parties, platforms and candidates. The
ignorant women will vote as they are
told to and the intelligent women must
Offset that evil by taking the trouble
to know what they want, what they
should do, and then do it,"
Miss Ferguson, who is starring now
under the management of Charles
Frohman, Inc, in Arnold Benefits
Sacred and Profane Love" at the
Morosco Theater, has just returned to
the stage after an absence Of two and
