One of the most unusual and in

one of the largest alligators that had
been seen in this section in some time.

A great deal has been said and
written in recent months about
the United States giving up the
PHILIPPINE islands; that they are
too far off to be of any great
benefit to this country, The
News is a county paper and
what it may say in all probability
will only be read, and the
thought never considered. How:
ever, we have an opinion and
here it is: The Islands are valu-
able and they have been bought
and paid for by this government
and we are in favor of this coun-
try holding them. Japan has
her eye on them; she wants the
the place for a dumping ground
for her over populated country,
and as soon as the Uuited States
surrenders them, if she ever
does, Japan is ready to swipe
them. 1t is true it costs money
to protect them. but they are
worth it. and we do not want to
see them surrendered for the
benefit of another country.
