however, that the 100000 Filipinos
and their ancestors have been civilized
and Christians for 800 years; that the
non-C Christian population, according to
the census Of 1918. is only 10000, and
even these are not all uncivilized.
Another fancy is that not until the
coming Of the Americans were school
buildings seen in the Islands, roads
built, or substantial houses erected
Do you know that for hundreds Of
years the Filipinos have had colleges
and schools and that the University Of
Santo Tomas is only twenty-five years

1t costs four cents per acre, labor
included, to treat wheat or oats for
the control of smut. Ten per cent
smut in a field will mean loss of
of from three to five dollars an
acre. Many fields in Colorado last
year, the seed for which had not
been treated, showed more than 20
per cent smut. Thus an invest
ment of four cents per acre yields
returns of from three to ten dol
lars per acre. Does it pay to treat
your seed grain?

night all of the little creatures were
going to sing, led by the Crickets'
chorus.
"There was steady sound of the
singing and buzzing of the little crea.

lence. Always II part of the chorus
stopped for moment the others took
1t up, so that there was concert
throughout the whole evening.
"rhey had been singing now on ey-
cry evening, but on this night all of
the singing was to be especially fine
for every creature had been asked to
sing their very best for the greatest
of the great September concerts.
THE leaves whstled and rustled
and sang In their low voices and some
of them blew little tunes as they whis-
tied into the face of old Mr.. Wind.
And sometimes the apples dropped
to the ground as though to beat time.
"The very big grasshopper with
the yellow wings who looked like
butterfly when flying but like grass
hopper when still was making the
sound he considered so fine-like an
airplane. And he was buzzing and
his wings were swishing
"The locusts with the long wings
and little legs were rubbing their
wings together and making music
"All through the day the bugs had
been talking. They had been saying
that they lived in one part Of the coun-
try which was really wild. 1t was
away from any road and no automo-
biles could be heard from where they
were. They had chatted all day long
and the birds had sung and there had
been constant noise of little wild
creatures and no noise of trains or
. autos and only the voices of the farm
er and his wife and of the children
were the only voices heard. And the
Woodchuck family had chuckled over
the nice home they had.
"And this evening. you see, the
greatest of all their great concerts was
given, n concert of JOY over the coun-
try where the voices of the little wild
creatures could be heard rather than
modern sounds such as automobile
cots !"

PRESIDENT ASKS
FOR COAL PROBE
ACTION FOLLOWS REQUEST OF
MINERS FOR REoPENING OF
WAGE QUESTION.
Stand Is Taken by chiet Executive
That Anthracite Miners Are
Morally Bound to Accept
Report of Commission.

hington.-President Wilson has
asked Secretary of Labor Wilson to
make an investigation into the stua-
ton in the anthracite coal fields. The
action was taken in response to tele-
graphic request from the United Mine
Workers of America that the wage
scale deliberations be reopened. 1t
was estimated that demand for
wage Increase in addition to those
granted by the anthracite commission
will be filed
As the president has already taken
the stand that the anthracite miners
are morally bound to accept the recent
report of the commission, his action is
regarded as significant.
In answering the anthracite miners
original threat to go on vacation" il
the report of the commission was ac-
cepted, Mr.. Wilson expressed the be-
lief that the entire principle of collec-
tive bargaining depended on the OBJ
servance of contracts by the miners.
1t Is understood that the president Is
now seeking information from the de-
partment of labor preparatory to defi-
mite action. This may take the form
of proclamation on the principle Of col
leetive bargaining as it affects work
ingmen in all lines. The White House
refused to give an intimatiOn of its
plans.
