Eating monkey meat and helping
the native girls to bob their hair
were only two of the minor incidents
Of the expedition into the jungles OF
Bolivia from which Oscar de Lima

Miss Ora Ford have just returned.
Miss Ford after arriving at her
| home here told of encounters with
savage tribes. lodging man.eating
rantulas. shooting treacherous rapids
on RATS and subsisting on turtle eggs.
The expedition was one in search of
beauty and adventure.
You see" Miss Ford explained.
they told US that the valley of the
B@ni River was very beautiful. III
a way II was disappointing. The trip
was harder than we had anticipated
and the gorgeous orchids they de
scribed for the most part had no
blossoms. They grow in profusion
along the river, but you have to go
far into the jungle to get the flowers"
Crossed Andes on Mules.
Inc ddEenturerS started from La
PaZ. the Bolivian capital. and crossed
the Andes on mules. Indian guides
piloted their RATS down the Matiri
River, earring them safely through
precipitous rapids with whirlpools at
the bottom. Gnats and mosquitoes
We're to abundant for comfort.
They kept up good teamwork,
Miss Ford remarked. The snats
@nawed YOU till sundown; then the
are large and their bite is very pain
ful.
While navigating the Benz River in
q dug-out canoe the party ran out Of
provisions. the y days which thev
had expected 10 pass in the jungle
having extended to three weeks.
Lived on Turtle Eggs.
For days" Miss Ford said. we
lived on boiled rice and the hard
coarse brown sugar they called than
baca and on turtle eggs. These eggs
are like hens eggs only little better

There were crocodiles in the river.

We passed two savage tribes Of
Indians but they did not trouble US.
In some Of the Indian villages nearer
the cities the natives are fairly civi-
ized But few of them had seen
white women before our visit"
From the Benz. the party went
down other rivers Ia the Amazon and
thence To its mouth. One of these
streams was Roosevelt's River Of

MONUMENT TO JOHNNY
APPLESEED

There Is an old iron fence around
the grave Of John Chapman, at Fort
Wayne. Ind, and the local chamber
OF commerce is discussing the pro-
priety of erecting a lasting monu-
ment to his memory.
Around 125 years ago, when John
Chapman, Familiarity known as
Johnny Appleseed", was gathering
sackfuls Of apple-seeds from cider
mills in Pennsylvania and with in
finite patience and effort logged
these over the Indian trails of the
midwest. planting little orchards
here and there and building fences
about these to protect them. who
would have thought about building
2 monument to him? Neither IS
Ahere anything to indicate that
Johnny Appleseed contemplated
earning any monument this side of
the Great Divide.
White folks looked upon him and
touched their foreheads significant
ay; red folks had a way of tolerat-
ing those whom they thought touch
ed by the Great Spirit, so they term
ed him medicine man and permit
ted him to go his way unmolested.
He went his way, and to good pur-
pose. Before his goings and COM
ings ended apple-blossoms in the
springtime beautif1ed the waysides
along thousands of the miles his
feet had travelled. Being a religious
man he had adopted the plan of
carrying bibles from which he would
tear a few leaves for this settler,
few leaves for that one, and on his
return trip collect and exchange
these. He sought to increase the
fruitfulness Of the soul as well as
OF the soil. Fatigue had no terrors
for him, yellow gold was no induce
ment,- but he did strive so hard that
others might have toothsome apples
ana grace to go with them.
And SO they are building a monu-
ment to Johnny Appleseed.

Editorial Comment
We Should Know

N4N. lIlleSJ
OF no American territory has the
average American such an made
quate conception as of the Philip
pines. That the islands in area are
as big as New England, New York
and New Jersey added together;
that 1t takes days of travel to get
from one part of the archipelago to
another; that less than a third of the
arabic land is under cultivation;
that the islands have only about a
fifth of the population that they can
conveniently support; that they are
inhabited not by one people but by
various ethnic groups speaking
languages that differ from each other
as much as do French, German and
English; that of these people about
two-thirds are still illiterate; that to
them we gave practically complete
autonomy ten years ago and that to-
day less than four per cent. of the
officials in the Insular Government
are American--these and many
other similar facts are almost COM
pletely unknown to the American
people.

coNsIDERTHE FUNDAMENTALS

The wheat grower is raising more
wheat than we need. He so comes
in competition with Russia and
other foreign wheat-growing areas.
When there is a big growth Of wheat
in the world he suffers from
surplus, same as the growers of
potatoes, of apples, same as the
producers Of a surplus of other
commodities.
He now asks the great Federal
Government to arrange to take that
surplus off his hands at price
profit bile to him. Other producers
would like to have somebody re-
neve them when they have acquired
a surplus in their barns, or in their
warehouses. Then, assured of SELL
ing at a profit, he would wish to
increase his production. The home
consumer would have to pay higher
prices, but the bigger the surplus
the cheaper would the Government
have to sell it to. the foreign con-
sumner.
There are seventy-f1ve to eighty
million people, who would virtually
be taxed to make such procedure
profitable to the thirty or forty mil
lion people deriving what may ap-
pear to be a profit from the arrange
ment. The eighty million would
naturally rebel. Then what might
the wheat and the cotton growers
with their increased acreage do to
save themselves?? What would
then become of their profit? To
what use would they then put their
increased acreage?
Many of these people are from
regions where 16 to 1 was once be-
lieved to be the cure-all, that would
enable the debtor to pay in cheaper
money. Most of them, If they have
been observant of conditions since
then, If they have noted the calam-
ity wrought in Europe by imitation,
now know that their faith then was
misplaced, that they had not under
stood the fundamentals, that inf1a-
ton was that which would have
come home to roost and been pro-
ductive of no end of mischief. Some
day they may be able to see this
subsidy plan in like rational light.

MAGNES|A BEST FOR
YOUR INDIGESTION
Warns Against Doping Stomach with
Artificial Digestents

Most people who suffer, either occa-
sionally or chemically from gas, sour
ness and Indigestion. have now dis
continued diasgreeable diets. patent
foods and the use of harmful drugs,
stomach tones, medicines and artif-
cial digestents, and instead, following
the advice SO often given in these coll
umns, take a teaspoonful or two tab
let's of Bisurated Magnesia in a little
water after meals with the result that
their stomach no longer troubles
them. they are able. to eat as they
please and they enjoy much better
health. Those who use Bisurated Mag
nesia never dread the approach of
meal time because they know this
wonderful anti-acid and food correc-
tive, which can be obtained from any
good drug store, will instantly neu-
tralize the stomach acidity, sweeten
the stomach, prevent food fermenta-

Lady Love was in her garden,
Smiling at a rose,/
Bunny Boy was smelling 1t
With his pinky nose,
When down flew a. blackbid,-
His name, Professor Crow
And cawed a challenge: You can't
ask
A question don't know"
II was just explaining to my little
rabbit how a rose grows" answered
sweet Lady Love, snot at all pro-
voked by the interruption.
IT didn't mean to be rude" apollo
gized the old crow. " To tell you the
truth, I'm mighty interested in your
little son. It's quite refreshing now
a-days to find youngster who loves
to learn. Many a time I've taught
him a thing or two, and maybe three
or four" and placing his spectacles
upon his beak, he opened his Wis
dom Book,-that wonderful volume
in which he had written all he had
ever learned and more than he could
ever remember.
IT overheard your little rabbit re-
mark that rose grew. Nothing OF
the sort. A rose is made" cawed
the wise old bird, stopping to look
down under his spectacles at the
two little rabbits sitting close to-
gether on the wooden bench that the
Old Red Rooster had built early in
the spring, as I mentioned in the
last story.
Gracious mel" exclaimed the as
tonished little bunny boy. "How s
that, Professor Crow?"
I'll explain" promised the wise
old bird, pausing for another mo-
ment to wipe his spectacles with
leaf. Folks commonly say that u
rose grows, with out thinking what
growing is. 1t was made out Of
something. There was something
that came to the bud to make it into
a rose. What was it that came to
the bud? How did it come there?
I will tell you" And with q Cav,

a page and looked through the little
glass windows on the bridge of his

ON KEEPING BAD COMPANY

4 Devereaux, Heinlein and McLaugh-
lin, sentenced, Wednesday, to be cleo
trocuted for the murder Of an aged
watchman at the Waltham car-barns
last October, prior to that event
doubtless would have laughed in the
face of one attempting to admonisl
them against keeping bad company.
The modern generation Of thugdom
pays little heed to the maxims CLEAN
ed from years of experience. Indeed,
all three Of these thugs declare that
as but one of them did the killing
only one should pay the penalty. The
law rightly declares that when one
confederates with others to do an I'M
lawful act he so becomes responsible
for the acts Of those associated with
him in that illegal purpose. These
men conspired to rob and in the pur-
suit Of this purpose murder was COM
mitted.
Brothers in crime are poor keepers
OF brother!
Generally speaking, also, posses
sion Of gun by one engaged in an
unlawful act is evidence that he in
tends to use that gun to accomplish
his purpose.
The verdict Of the court IN this
car-barn case follows proceedings
characterized by promptness on the
part of the law machinery. In about
eight months they have been caught,
convicted, appeals taken, every safe
guard with which our liberal methods
surround the criminal have been tx
hausted, and now the thugs go to
their doom.
The protection Of society as well
as the protection Of the rights Of
criminals has here been duly consid-
cred. To be sure it is not creditable
to society that 1t must resort to CAPT.
tai punishment because it cannot
trust itself to hold the criminal under
restraint in accord with his sentence,
for, s we see it, that Is the only ex-
cuse for legally taking life.
Criminals have had altogether too
I'd little reason for respecting the law.
They will read the reports of this
trial with awakening sense that the
public is getting tired of listening to
their attempts to shirk responsibility
and proposes to hold them to &C
count.
That is how they should be held;
they well know the difference be-
tween right and wrong. The reports
u the Waltham car-barn tragedy
undoubtedly have been read by thou
sands to their profit. If those dis
posed to become thugs get any corr
fort out Of 1t they are welcome to it.
Anyhow, 1T stands in sharp contrast
to the kind OF comfort that has so
often been found by the criminal
element in the reports of justice
f1outed.

ARE WE TO KEEP FIT7

There are those in this country
with very strong convictions re-
specting the need of keeping fit for
self government, who recognize the
disconcerting fact that If we shirk
the responsibilities of governing
ourselves others will do 1t for us to
our ultimate discontinue and the
TURNING backward Of those things
which make for freedom to govern
ourselves.
So thoroughly earnest are some
Of these that they have organized
themselves into an order known as
1.-THE Sentinels of the Republic"
They now, after the manner Of such
movement, seek to fund their enter
prise. to establish a memorial fund
in honor of the late Louis A. Cool
idge, who was the founder. They
recognize that there is work to be
done If the tendency Of encroachment
by the Federal Government con-
tinues unchecked.
Among those who spoke at re-
cent meeting was Senator Bingham
His was a good speech and in 1t he
said:
1.-THE American Republic was sue
cessful from the first because 1t
was composed of citizens who were
accustomed to local self govern
ment. No country in the world
which has tried to follow our form
of government has been able to
maintain a true rule of the people,
and for the people, unless the ma
ioritv of its people have been trained
for years in the only efficient schooi
of citizenship, namely, local SELF
government.
"If we really believe IN the vaue
of a popular form of government, II
we really believe with Thomas Jet-
erson that every man and every
body of men on earth possesses the
right of sef government then we
must agree that one of the most I'M
portant objects of government by
the people is to get the people TO
control their own affairs. Other
wise. in the course of time. govern
ment by the people will be a farce.
for there will be no citizenry lit TO
govern itself.
1--WE cannot have the privileges of
freedom and liberty, we cannot
exercise the inalienable rights of
man unless we are willing to take
care of our own affairs, unless we are
willing to stop looking to the general
Government for those blessings
which ought to be the reward of our
own individual efforts"
