The Filipino has a way of ex-
planning. He explains the Philli-
pine Islands in this manner.
The earth was for centuries car
ried about on the shoulders of a
giant. One day, in fit of anger
the tired giant threw his load in
to the ocean. where it broke into
many bits and formed what is
known as the Philippine Archi-
pelago. Just a glance at the
map, and you will begin to be-
lieve the Little Brown Man"
knows what he is talking about,
for even geologists admit it is
is hard toprove how these islands
were spread over so much terri
tory and were broken into so
many bits. Just think! They
have already counted 3.141 and
are still counting. Many of
these are just about large enough
for man to stand upon, and
eight of them comprise about
seven-eighths of the territory.
The white man knew nothing
of the Philippines until 1871. At
that date a Portuguese named
Magellan, tried to go around the
world. Upon this journey he
happened upon the PHILIPPINES.
The natives saw him and soon
Magellan died on the island ne
discovered. Since that date the
native has had little more use
for the white man than he had
for Magellan. AS Magellan was
sailing under the Spanish flag
Spain claimed the islands. From
that day until May l, 1898. Spain
was the dominating influence in
these islands. | need not say
with what success she managed
them just compare them when
she took them in 1921 and then
in 1898 and see whether she made
rapid strides in civilizing them
in these four centuries.
The world do move, " and like
other sleeping nations the Phili-
pino was becoming awake to
what was going on about him.
He sat up and rubbed his eyes in
1896, when Rizaal wrote a
scathing account of the horrible
way the Spanish ruled these is
lands. The Spanish saw that
something must be done, so Ri
zaal was quickly executed, not,
however, before he became a
popular hero. who is today the
George Washington of the Phil
ippines. But this did not stop
the Filipino from awakening
Anguino, a popular young half
caste, took up the path of Rial
and raised such a storm of pro-
test that Spain was glad to give
him $4OO, 900 to leave the coun-
try.
The United States also became
awake to the fact that Spain was
a brutal nation as far as her col
onies were concerned and decid-
ed on April Il. 1898, to let Spain
smell her powder. Nine days
later Dewey made a hasty meal
of Spain's much boasted Asiatic.
squadron,
AS Anguino knew the people
and was we'll able to handle them,
it was thought best to let him
lead his people against the Span
lard, whom they all detested.
Anguino like many warriors, felt
he had call to govern his peo-
pie against the Spaniard. whom
they all detested. He foresaw
in his helping America, his
chance to be the first president
of the island republic. The
Spanish lwere soon routed and
Manila, the most important city,
came into the hands of the Am
orleans.

INCREASE FLOOR SPACE

week installed a second deck in the
east part of it's building on Main
street, to be used as display and
store room for new cars. A gang
way from the rear door, which can
be raised when not in use, will pro-
vide means of, getting the cars to
the second floor. The rapid growth
of the Baker business makes neces-
sary almost constant changes to in
crease the floor space available.
