Washington, Apr. 1.-Grain deal Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois ap pealed today to the house agricul- tural committee for legislation re- imbursing them for losses claimed tc aggregate $5,000,000 in 1917 due to the fact that the price of wheat was fixed at sixty cents less than the current market price.
 Herbert Hoover, former food ad- ministrator and Julius Barnes, pres poration, were declared by the deal CTS to be responsible for the losses
 "We used every diligence to find out the attitude of the grain cor poration and the food administration but got little information" president of the Texas Grain Dealers Assoc iation and spokesman for the dealer.s of the six states. "We were told that there was no authority for fix ing the price, but after it was fixei we were told that we ought to have known that they were going to fix the price.
 "We showed him letters from Mr. Hoover and from his own office to the contrary" continued MT Clcm- ents, "and he intinated that we ought not to have believed them.'
 But did you rely on their state mcnts?" asked Representative Me Loughlin, republican, Nebraska.
 "We took them to be men of their word," replied Clements.
 "You men are no doubt strong for Hoover for president" commented MT. Mclaughlin.
 Lee G. Metcalf, representing the Illinois grain dealers association said if there was ever another grain cooperation when he was buyin.r grain he would "get ouiia board.' E. J. Smiley, representing Kansas and Nebraska dealers, declared Mr. Hoover's announcement in August. 1917, of necessity to reduce the price of bread grains was "infan, ous."

 ! Mrs. Norton in her suit charges that when the ticket of love for Brown stopped he refused to return her money. Fifteen letters breath i ing undying love and affection, writ ten by Brown to Mrs. Norton, arc to : be introduced at the trial In these , letters Brown tells of his disappoint- ment that the investment does not ascend by leaps and bounds so that they both can leave here and fly to the Orient, always closing with love and affection for his sweetheart and wishing for the day that he can mount an aeroplane and fly to the side of his ''only one.'
 Letters Reveal Love.

it quite plain to them that he will
take the matter under serious and sin

ed States" says Mrs. de Veyra. i do
not mean to infer we are perfect, for
we are not. My people have most of
the defects, / suppose, that other hu-
mans have. but at the same time we
are far from the people that many
Americans have been made to believe
Not only are we a Christian people.
but our race has a history that we are
not ashamed Of Throughout the Phil
ippine Islands the people are now
working earnestly to improve them
selves and their conditions so they will
be prepared to take over their own af-
fairs. We all love America for giving
us a chance to help ourselves and for
having promised us our independence,
which is one of the dearest desires of
the entire citizenship of the islands,"
To American women whose ideas of
Filipinos have been founded on Sun
day supplement descriptions Of wild
tribes, Mrs. de Veyras gentle manner
and evident culture have been a reye-
lation. She is sought by w0men's clubs
because of her charming manner as an
impromptu speaker on the subject
nearest her heart-the women of her
country.
At a recent Washington gathering
she gave in perfect English a concise
account of the work Of wOman's club
in Manila which supplies milk to the
babies of the poor and trains mothers
to care for their young children. She
told of another womans club which
has branches all over the Philippine
Islands and which maintains day
nurseries for the children of the work
ing women, provides Christmas cheer
for the lepers, the insane and the con
victs, and gathers data to influence leg
islation for the benefit of Filipino wo-
men and children.
The four little De Veyras, shown In
the picture, having attended the pub
lie schools in Manila, slipped right into
the same grades in the schools OF
Washington. Even little Mary, the
baby of the family, speaks three Ian
guages-her native tongue, Spanish
and English.
