Industry Overdone.

The development of the coconut oil industry in the Philippines has been very rapid. due to war conditions. The exports of oil in 1918 amounted to 115,0OO tons as compared with 45,0OO tons in 1917 and 16OOO tons in 1916. There is scarcity of shipping to take copra to Hull, England, and Marseilles, France, which are the great centers for oil crushing. hence 1t Is found more profitable to ship the less bulky oil to the United States. A number of new oil mills have been constructed in the Philippines in order to fill the demand for oil, but it is a serious question whether the present crushing capacity of the Philippine mills is not in excess of the normal supply of copra.

You remember I told you in the Hast
story how Puss Junior met Little Red
Riding Hood after the wolf had gone
away, and how she had taken Puss to
call on her grandmother, who never had
to lie in bed any more, because her
rheumatism had left her since she had
moved to Mother Goose Land?
Well, as soon as the Gear old lady
saw our little traveller she exclaimed .
Welcome, my little friend. Sit down
and tell me all about yourself" And
Puss did, but if I should try to repeat
all he said I would never get through.
After a little while there came a knock
at the door and in walked Old MOtheI
Hubbard and her dog. Wasn't that
~etrange? For the last time Puss had
seen them it was in Old Mother Goose
country, and. OF course, he was sur
Prised to meet them. And then, all of
a sudden, the dog began to sing.
Old Mother Hubbard never goes to the
cupboard
To get me a bone any morel
For she has no excuse. and what is the
use?
She remembers what happened before
So now We both 90 to a nice movie

must obey. SO of he went through the
woods, and by and by he came to

he didn't know that 4 Frog Prince livec
