Virgin Islands; our virtual protect
crate over Cuba and Panama; our
military expedition to Siberia and the
sending Of our marines into Hayti and
Central America. As to where this
may all lead Us, he says: "The Philip
pines may well be the test case in this
problem. We have thus far acted with
unparalleled generosity toward the
Filipin0s, In giving them self govern
ment and promising them independ-
ence. They believe in us and in our
promises; they were absolutely loyal
to US during the war; they have made
astonishing progress in self-gOvern-
ment; they desire independence. The
time Is close at hand when we must
redeem our promise, or else forefeit
their confidence and good will and
break our given word"
The twenty chapters Of the book
show what tae Filipinos are and what
they have thus far done for them
selves; their ideals. ambitions, prob
lens, and achievements. rather than
what the United States has done in

TALK OF THE BUSY BEE.

Stories that are a little different are
always interesting. and here is one SO
different that it is extraordinary. II
pertains to the doings Of 8 wood rat.
and what 8 wood rat cannot think up
TO do is about undoable. Thursday Of
last week T. c. Hume stored three
boxes Of apples in the cellar at his
home Friday Mrs. Hume repaired to
the cellar to obtain some apples, and
10 and behold there was not an apple
to be found. She charged Mr.. Hume Of
failure to place the apples In the cellar
but he insisted that he had and pro-
ceeded to investigate. The boxes were
there where he had placed them, but
not a single apple. Securing flash
was dubfounded to find that wood
rat had carried every apple under the
wood shed. Not only had Mr.. Rat
packed those apples out Of the cellar
but he had first filled two lengths OF
stove pipe and wire crate and then set
the balace up in rows on beams, the
rows being as regular as II placed BY
human hands. The animal carried the
apples In his mouth as there were
marks of teeth in every apple. Many OF
the apples were Of large size. The
three boxes had been emptied and
stored away within "a hours. How did
the rodent perform the task? That Is
a puzzle hard to solve, although those
familiar with the performances Of the
robber rat, that steals just for the love
of stealing, would not be surprised to
hear that one of the varmit had car
ried off a stove

WHY THE LONG DELAY.

This federal farm loan business
would be convenience to the farmer
II those higher up would ever function
after loan is applied for. Like every
thing else done through government
agency there is so much tape to un-
wind that the applicant for a loan
plays in big luck if he does not die
Of old age before his application brings
results. A year ago VIM. Barry applied
for loan and he has not yet had the
privilege of lingering the cash, al
though at the present time it is almost
within reach. This farmers loan ad-
junct to tne federal government was
devised to help out the farmer in fl
nancial stress, but 1t is not much Of
help when the applicant has to wait
for months at time when he is des-
perately in need Of the cash. Among
many other things this lack Of expedi-
ton on the part of those having charge
of distributing loans to farmers con-
tributes to the lack of confidence in
the government and cut figure in the
results Of the late election.
