in the trade above mentioned, yield
ing a credit balance to the islands
of $33,253,000. Trade for the cur
rent year will probably yield a some
what similar balance.
Our chief purchases from the Phil
ippines consist of the famous Manila
hemp, or abaca, sugar. tobacco, and
rice. The native textiles, pima and
just have found considerable favor in
this country, and a large amount of
copra is purchased from the islands.
OF late years Philippine straw hats,
of which the celebrated Balibuntal is
an example, have found a good mar
ket in the United States, rivaling the
Panama in popularity. The cabinet
woods of the Philippines have not
yet beef properly brought to the at
tention of American furniture manu-
facturers. The red nara. and other
varieties are among the most beauti-
full woods in the world. The p0-
tentialities for rubber production are
vast, particularly in the island of
Mindanao and adjacent areas, and If
properly developed our dependence
on British and Dutch rubber sources
would be materially lessened.
With the terrible expose which
has been going on lately in the form
OF a series of articles prepared by a
woman author of probity and fine at
tainments, the talk of immediate in
dependence for the Philippine islands
stimulated for a short time by the
promise of complete autonomy held
out in the Democratic platform OF
1924, has greatly subsidized. I'm
doubtedly the mass of the Filipinos
are convinced by experience, II not
by argument, that they are better off
under American rule than they are
under a despotic bureaucracy. The
majority of the natives would hardly
indorse the assertion of one or two of
their plotting leaders that they would
prefer home rule with all its draw
backs, to American guidance with all
its benefits.
Our Pacific trade (Asia and Ocea
MAJ for the current year will show
close to $1,000, 1000. Situated In
the center of those great markets for
American wares is Manila, where the
finest %entrepot in that quarter of the
globe could readily be established, a
project which would give a great
stimulus to Far Eastern purchases of
our goods. 1t would not be surpris-
ing II some time during the admins
~tration of President Coolidge the ad-
visibility Of establishing such an en-
trepot were officially called to the
attention Of the Congress of the
United States, and steps taken to
make It an actually. Such action
would be in harmony with Republi-
can constructivism.

last pre-war year the total trade OF
the Philippine Islands was Q little

trade reached . total OF 3208 900

to reach $240. 900. 900. The share Of

Farmer Feeds All
But His Children
Are U~nderWeight

Though the farmer feeds the
world, his children are too often
underweight because of the lack of
proper nutrition, according to Miss
Luella Sherman, Extension Service
Nutrition Specialist at the University
of Wyoming and, until coming to
Wyoming nutrition specialist at the
Kansas State Agricultural College.
Miss Sherman, who assumed her
duties at the State University last
month is Wyoming's first state nu-
triton specialist.
Miss Sherman who has already ac-
quainted herself with statistics re-
Gently gathered from representative
rural communities in one Wyoming
county, finds that fifty percent of the
rural children In these communities
are ten percent or more underweight.
In explaining the causes for under
weigh IN children Of rural commun-
.tlo., the University nutrition expert
stated that she has found by previous
observations that the farmer is often
the poorest consumer of his own pro-
ducts and that In her field work in
Wyoming she will particularly en-
phasize the use of farm products and
especially milk, in the choice of food
for children.
Each year Miss Sherman will visit
the rural communities of Wyoming
from W to four times and will sug-
gest easier and better methods of pre-
pairing essential foods; win promote
a better knowledge of the needs of
the human body and will seek to
increase the desire for more health
full foods.
Miss Sherman emphasized the fact
that statistics prove that the child
who is physically fit is, as a rule,
mentally more efficient than the UNI
derweight child.
In her meetings with Wyoming
women, Miss Sherman will instruct
in food preparation and she will also
give cooking demonstrations and lee
lures. This work will also be follow
ed by a more advanced study of nu-
triton. In this way the rural women
receive much instruction that is given
in high schools and colleges.

year and the recent refundng Of sos 900 of six per
cent bonds and re-selling them at four and one
half percent, making a saving of sixteen to eigh-
teen thousand dollars to the tai payers of School
District Number One, is an example of good busl-
ness judgment.
In July, eighty-hve hundred dollars worth Of
bonds will fall due The board has made prepare
lions to retire this full issue without any add
tional levy of taxes When this is done the total
of district number one will be Sl13,-
500 and provisions have been made to retire these
bonds before they are due. This is commendable
and should meet with the approval of every tax
payer.
While the tax levy has been cut each year the
high standard of the schools have been main
tanned
We think it is the duty of all of the voters of
the district to turn out at the school election to be
held April 4th and re-elect Joe Gerondale and
H. A. Simmons by unanimous vote which will be
a vote of confidence and appreciation for services
rendered, not only by them but by the other mem
bers of the board.
1t should be remembered that School District
Number One in Carbon county has more children
TO the population than any other district in the
state and is Financially in better shape than most
districts.
Let's show the board that we appreciate
good service.

AGRICULTURE IN EXPERIENCED HANDS

The only opposition heard in relation to the
appointment of DR.. William M. Jardlne OF Kan
sas as Secretary of Agriculture, was in the state
ment that "he is Hoover man." This Will be
taken by the people, if not by the politicians, as
being rather in his favor
Dr. Jardine, as head of the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural College has background of splendid
accomplishment He is young man with wealth
of agricultural experience The eyes of the coun-
try VII be fixed on his work because of his deep
interest in the subject of cooperative marketing
which has engaged the serious attention OF the
president While the country recognizes pros
perity Of the farmer as the rock on which rests
the nation progress and business stability, more
ar more is it becoming evident that the ills of
the eermer are not to be assuaged by political
curealls or legislation spelling government sub
sidy. :.
In brief, the problem of the farmer is one OF
intricate economics and it is to the solution of this
problem it is hoped DR.. Jardine will address him
self. Cooperative marketing may prove to be
the answer. Only time can tell. However the
whole nation will wish for the new secretary OF
agriculture an undisturbed and successful admin
istration

TWIN PINACLEs OF COWARDICE

Two of the greatest acts of coWardlce of
which man can be guilty, are wife desertion, and
suicide creature in the shape of a man, who
will WOO and win the heart of trusting maid, and
by the form of religious oath swear to cherish
and protect her until DEATH and then, after saddl
ing her with the burden of a family, leave her to
bear the load, is the most loathsome of earth's
creatures. A
Daily the newspapers throughout the country
bear tales of families in distress, left SO by the
WEAKNESS of the Bread Winner, to further sup
port or care for them. Because he has chosen to
lay down the burdens imposed upon himself thru
choice, by nature, by religion by society," and pur
suant to cowardly nature, left the trusting ones
at home to perish for ought he cared.
While family desertionD consists of the shift
ing of portion of life's responsibilities suicide
is an attempt to get rid of all of them at once in
the hopes that the cares of the infinite future may
be more endurable than the actualities of the
present. Like family desertion cases of suicide
are increasing in alarming proportion. While the
family deserter may not seem to get his just pun
ishment, it is hardly probable the suicide gets his
in abundance For each life is flower bed of OPP
portunity, and hope if we but nourished the gar
den with few scattering seeds of sef-sacrifce
and patience.
