charcoal fire in operation a short
time before the fire was discovered,
and at the point where 1t first ap-
peared. That the fire should run
through the building with lightning
speed is explained by the supposition
that the gas took fire from the pipe.

Permit us to present the De Veyra
family.
The Hon. Jaime c. de Veyra is the
Resident Commissioner from the Phil
ippine Islands to the United States and
has just been elected TO second term
of three years. AS Resident Commits
siOner he has seat on the floor OF
the American Congress, the privilege
Of taking part in debates, although NO
vote.
Commissioner de Veyra has an inter
esting wife and four bright Filipino
Riddles. The De Veyra family, individ,
ually and collectively, constitute the
best argument as to the tact and capa-
bilities OF Filipinos that the Philippine
Islands have in Washington.
The commissioner is 100 per cent
Filipino, Visayan, and is one of the
foremost leaders of the party in power
in the islands. During American occu-
patton he has been successfully gov
ernor Of his province, member of the
AhSih
Der and executive secretary of the
islands.
Like many statesmen of the Philip
pines, he was originally newspaper
man. He was one of the founders of
FL Nuevo Dia of Cebu, the first Fill
Pine paper published advocating Phil
ippine independence. The paper came
under the censorship Of General Nc
Intyre, and on the appearance of the
first number the editors were left in
the singular position of seeing every
prominent article blue penciled.
Mrs. de veyra, like her husband, is
"live wire" in the Philippines cause.
She is the best known Filipino in
America. She is an interesting public
speaker and Ia constantly giving illus
trated lectures at women's clubs and
other gatherings Mrs. de Veyra is a
publicity bureau all in herself and has
put :he Philippines on the map, so far
as the women folk of Washington con-
gressional circles are concerned.

((Irossyille ChronicIe)

tOIOSONIllC Viii
During the war there was mucn
agitation over the idea of war
Gardens. Thousands, yes.
millions of dollars in food were
produced where not a cent had
been produced before the war.
Since the war is over most OF
war gardens have ceased to exist
so high have wages become and
50 plentiful is work of all kinds.
The cry is universal all over
the country, that farm labor is
short and food and feed crops
will of necessity be much shorter
this year than for many years.
The wheat crop is very much
shorter this year than ever before
for many years. Our population
continues to increase'at a rapid
rate, which makes an increased
demand for food of all kinds.
On the other hand the export
of food of allsskinbs is notsso
much as during the war, but it IS
not ceased by any means because
of the starvation and destitution
that prevails in manyl parts of
the world.
IlIf one may estimate there's ey-
cry indication tina the food short
age this year will amount from
Is to rs per cent. of war times.
Everything is high now, especl-
ally food.
In the face of ALI thesellcon-
ditions there is not the slightest
doubt that there is now as. much
need ofaPeace Gardens as there
was of lWar Gardens year or
two ago. Every one who can
possibly do so should have their
Peace Garden and produce every
ounce of food possible FORT is
sure to be needed. Present in
dication point to much higher
prices for food the coming winter
then now. If you do not try to
produce food do not complain of
high prices for the food you are
forced to buy.

/ ed States" says Mrs. de Veyra. Il do
not mean to infer we are perfect, for
we are not. My people have most OF
the defects, / suppose, that other hui
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 Christian people,
but our race has 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 theit own af-
fairs. We all love America for giving
us 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
day supplement descriptions OF wild
tribes, Mrs. de Veyras gentle manner
and evident culture have been a reve-
lation. She is sought By women's clubs
because of her charming manner as an
impromptu speaker on the subject
nearest her heart-the women OF her
country.
At recent Washington gathering
she gave in perfect English concise
account Of the work Of womans 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 woman's 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 w0-
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.

HEAVY ARRANGEMENT
OF RAZARENES

Editor News:
| have story | want to tel
YOUR readers. I've always had
desire and an inclination to helK
my people spiritually, morally
and financially, but I've made
some fearful blunders and mis-
takes, more ways than one.
m doing my best to avoid such
things now and in the future.
| There is a Nazarene meeting
going on here in Tracy City, but
lam not taking much stock in it.
Ny reason for doing so is | have
no confidence in their work.
Several years ago they invaded
| Tracy and began to preach the
| doctrine of Holiness and it swept
over Tracy like fire in a dry sage
| field, but alas!it was like Jonah s
i gourd vine, it soon withered and
died. Thea came Capt. Rauls-
ton and his band of volunteers,
preaching holiness, and over 200
became followers of him. They
soon died out and then followed
the Holy Rollers who put the fin
ishing touch on the Hogg's Chap.
ell Church and today the church
stands vacant occupied by no one.
They actually wiped out the Con-
gregational Methodists, Destroy
ed them, and are now here in
town at the Presbyterian Church
with Patterson, Weaver and
Chaplin under the pretense of
saving souls. Knowing what |
do concerning the past am loath
to encourage them, but hope they
will be of benefit and helpful to
the cause they profess to repre-
sent, but have my doubts.
Some splendid christian wom-
en- are lending their aid and help.
Others equally as good are stand,
ing aloof, and looking on.
I've given plain statement of
facts concerning the Holiness
movement here in the past which
| am sorry to say was a sad fail
ure, and some of the worst peo-
pie we have in Tracy professed
sanctification and holiness, and
not many have held out. Well, /
holiness and the church are So
closely allied that both go togeth-
err, so say the. Roman Catholics,
Episcepalians and Methodists. In
becoming members of the great
dominant churches you have to
believe in the "holy Catholic
Church. consequently you SUBJ
scribe to the doctrine of holiness
and holy church. This doc
trine is as old as the church it.
self, and cannot be new doc
trine and disconnected from the
church.
Holiness, as now preached,
would separate the church from
it, so believe. Fraud or false
hood is being perpetrated against
the church, and am not sur
prised at the falling away of so
many. They have no founda-
ton to stand on when they de-
stroy the holiness of the church.
AS we'll declare the Bible is not
holy, and we had the church be-
fore we had the Bible and God
sanctified it and called it holy
and his people are holy people.
Then. again. these Nazarenes
make but little Roadway where
theyhave no christians to work
over and stir up. These are
plain statements and facts, and
in place of building up a COM
munity they ruin it. as they did
at Hogg's Chapel. They take
sneaking and undermining ways
to destroy other christians by |
charging them with advocating
the ilea that you can't live with
out sin. I've never heard
preacher yet preach any such
thing and | don't believe they
have. Everybody wants to live

Madison Wis.-That the slang

Prof. H. Glicksman of the English
department, University of Wiscon
sin.
Our language is made up of what
was once slang, idiom, cOlloquialisnh
and jargon," he said and warned
that the only deplorable feature
about slang was its tendency to pro
duce mental slovshness.
Prof. Glicksman then referred to
the word mob as slang of 200
years ago and denounced in The
Spectator by Addison.
at is an abbreyiation Of the word
mobile Even SO the word pep is
vital and virile and will survive with
the word 'snappy' But to gain rec
ognition slang must be free from
vulgarity and cheapness, said
Glickman.
THE term How do you get that
way? is condemned because it is
meaningless but the term he has
pull' is approved as it is the oppo-
site of push, word that has forged
ahead through its own strength
