FIND LOST FILIPINO TRIBE
About 5000 Head Hunters Discovered
on Island Of Luzon

A lost tribe of approximately 5000
head hunters, whose existence hitherto
was unknown to the Philippine gov
eminent, was discovered by Jose San
victories. director of the bureau of
non-Christian tribes, in a recent ex-
plOration of the Sierra Madre range
on the east coast of Luzon. The tribe
is shut off completely from civiliza-
ton, living In nomadic semi-ag ricul-
tural stage.
1t is believed that the tribe is a
branch of the Ilongots, little-known
people. of whom 1000 are scattered in
Tayabas province. The government is
arranging TO take a census as soon as
possible.

British inventor Constructs Shock-Ab-
sorbing Chassis for Air Machines.


An airplane undercarriage that is
practically "uncrushable" is the re
markable product of a British invent
or. The new landing chassis looks to
the uninitiated like any ordinary two
wheeled undercarriage, but it is fitted
with an ingenious system Of pneumatic
cylinders which prevent accidents,
even when the machine is being land
ed by an inexperienced pilot.
In recent test of the new under
carriage Herbert Hinkler, holder of
the nonstop flight record to Turin.
demonstrated that 1t would withstand
shocks which would smash the ordi-
nary chassis. He flew the machine
at full speed into the ground from q
height of 20 feet at an angle tina,
would have turned an ordinary air
.,lane over on its Lose. The underear

FROM PRODUCER TO CONSUMER

FROM PRODUCER TO CONSUMER
1t is always interesting to note the
spread in price between the producer
and the consumer in the east, and to
figure out what per cent of the
Nspread is justifiable. 1t is evident
when the consumer pays from ten
to fifteen times as much for pro-
duct as the grower receives for it,
there is something radically wrong.
The Daily Journal Press of st.
Cloud, Minnesota, contains the fol-
lowing regarding the sale of Hood
River apples on the New York mar
ket, the apple story being just as
applicable to Idaho fruit, or Idaho
potatoes:
Elmer Knutson, agricultural
agent for the American Railway as
ISOLATION, in New York, along in
March bought some Hood River
apples from retailers, paying from 10
receipt for his purchase. Later he
was in the state of Washington, and
showed his receipts to the Hood
River apple men, and asked what they
received. The answer was an aver
age of a cent a piece for the choice
fruit. He then looked up the freight
rates to New York and found them
to be a cent and a quarter an apple.
He also learned that the cost of dis
tributing a carload of apples by
truck in New York City was equal
the freight by railroads across the
continent. Adding another cent as
the wholesalers profit, the price to
the retailer should be not over five
cents an apple, and when it is sold
for Is cents, here is an unjustifiable
profit. To regulate the price be-
tween the producer and the consumer,
there are other elements to be re-
gulated than freight rates-but the
buyers are usually told the reason
for high prices is in the excessive
freight rates"

HAPPINESS-A SECRET


Strange as it may seem, there are
a great many people in this world
who absolutely refuse to be happy
They are SO busy continually count
ing up their troubles that they have
no time to enumerate their bless
ings, says an exchange.
If in their lot in life there happens
to be perhaps one tiny trouble in the
midst of a big bundle of blessings
they keep their minds firmly fixed
on the small trouble and totally
ignore their many blessings.
To exhort such pleople to cheer up
is worse than useless, for they find
it much easier, though undoubtedly
more uncomfortable, to sit forever
in the Slough of Despond than to
climb to the Hill of Hope.
The only way to be happy is to
change ones outlook on life. 1t is
useless to expect any lasting happi-
ness from an Improvement in ones
outward circumstances, for it is i'm
possible to escape from ones self
Like all things worth having in
this world a happy disposition can
be obtained only by effort and by
the overcoming of those traits in
ourselves that make for unhappiness

Confusion Of Tongues.

A COUNTRY like the United States with a pop.
q ulation of widely diverse origin there is scarce
Ily n trace of the language trouble which is so
troublesome in Europe and not entirely absent in
the neighboring Dominion of Canada. 1t is diff.
cult to understand the bitterness that marks the
quarreling in Belgium between the people who
speak French and those who still cling to the more
nearly native Flemish, which is a close relative of
the Dutch and not such a distinct one of German.
as the first attempts of the several tribes inhabit-
ing the lowlands now partly covered by Holland
and Belgium to unite against their French and
German enemies. Later came the Spaniards, to
make what use they could of tribal jealousies.
After Napolen, for a good WHILE, the triumph of
French in Belgium was nearly complete, so far
as official recognition went, and in 1880 Flemish
was formally r~elegated to the humble position
of a peasants patois. It never died, however, and
to cmpel it's admission to equal rights with French
in Belgian courts and schools.
The Germans, during the occupation did what
they. could to divide the French-speaking part of
the population from those that chung to Flemish.
1t was the latter group that they chose to favor,
and the recent controversy over the university al
Client was due largely to an effort to compel the
carrying out of promises made by the invaders.
To all except those who have a sentimental in.
terest In it, the Flemish language seems a rather
rude and barbarus one, at least in comparison
with French. 1t has, indeed, a considerable litera-
Itufe, which is much admired by those who admire it
and it is of interest to philologists,. but it never
was, is not and never will be of more than strictly
local use, and its competition with a real "world
like French in q small country like Bel.
GUM can end at last in only one way-it must
disappear into the libraries where the other "dead7
are deposited.

ending june 80. 1921, the American farmer export.
ed 90 per cent more meats, dairy products, animal
and vegetable fats, than he did for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1913. 1t shows he exported 35 per
cent more meats, dairy products, animal and vege-
table fats during the fiscal year ending June 80,
1922 than he did in the fiscal year ending June 80,
1913.
These comparisons are based upon bushels for
grain and grain products and pounds for meats,
dairy products and fats.
The farmer is not exporting as much this year as
he did last year or the year before. Yet the prices
ne Is receiving are higher this year than they were
in either of the previous years.
These three facts clearly demonstrate m the
American farmer has exported more since the
year during the period of Americas so-called @iso-
lation' than he did prior to the war; ~ after four
years Of this so-called isolation farm prices to-
day are higher than they were in pre-war years;
(3) the price the farmer receives for his products
is determined not SO much by what he exports as
by the quantity of domestic consumption.
The last-named conclusion is that reached by the
joint commission of agricultural inquiry. After
studying farm prices and their relations to ex.
nearly a quarter of a century, the commission sets
forth that the price OF farm products in this coun.
try is very little affected by the quantity of exports
but is very directly and appreciabiy affected by
the quantity of domestic consumption, which in
turn is based upon Industrial prosperity.
Taken together, these facts should demonstrate
to the farmer that there is no ground whatever
for the oft-repeated assertion that Americas "isola-
tom has proved injurious to the agricultural inter
ests OF this country.
The plain truth is that from a selfish standpoint
the American farmer has probably p%rofited by Eu-
ropes condition. This is borne out by the fact that
in pre-war days Europe produced 90 per cent Of
her needs in food products. Today she is produc
ing only 20 per cent of her food products re
quirements. A large proportion of the agricultural
exports from this country during the last three
cars may be credited to the fact that Europe is not
yet back TO a normal condition of agricultural pro
d%uctiyity. The latest reports from European re-
representatives. of the United States department of
commerce state that this year eastern European
countries-such as Rumania and Southern Russia
will supply Europe with only three per cent of
it's wheat requirements. Normally they supply 40.
per cent.
In this connection the department of commerce
states: "If it had not been for the elimination of
Russia as a surplus country, it would have been
practically impossible to have marketed more than
a small per cent of the North American surplus
in the four years since the close of the war"
To sum it up, ~ the American farmer has
not suffered by reason of Americas Isolation"
from European affairs; (2) and, if with the aid of
this country Europe is restored to normal pro-
ductivity, it will react to the decrease of Amer
lean agricultural exports rather than their in.

any individual accident that it was because of too

as n whole. We have no real accident statistics.
If, for instance, we could say that of 5000 acct

of a given city, 5000 were caused by poor brakes.
we could Immediately make 1t mandatory to have
all brakes examined monthly. If we know that of

percentage of accidents involved trucks, or taxicabs
than the percentage Of such vehicles bore to the
whole number of vehicles, we could insist on higher
standards of operation by such drivers.
Here is a great chance for some institution with
the money and the time to gather and work out the
results from such statistics. And as a very large

L on the public school question as that taken by
the electorate of the state of Oregon at the last
election, when the compulsory public school at

said that the laws against cruelty to animals,
against non-support of children, against drinking
and vice, against buying, selling, or using dangerous
drugs, also are violations of personal liberty.
II is for no man to say, as yet, that the law is
wise or unwise, good or bad, constitutional or UNI
constitutional. 1t has yet 10 be tried. The voters
of the sovereign state OF Oregon wanted it, or
they wouldn't have voted for it. Presumably an
Oregon voter is as good an American, as fairmind.
