By the Associated Press.

The trip of Secretary of War Hurley

cent regarding the purpose Of his trip,

ing the past few months with Manuel

Senate, who has been In this country
advocating independence for the
islands The outcome Of these con-
1erences has not been divulged.
Issue Since Acquisition.
Years Of agitation In the Philippines
for independence recently eliminated
in monster demonstrations by FilipinoS
inspired by the visit Of Senator HAYES
Democrat, Of Missouri one Of the out
standing advocates Of Philippine indie
pendence in Congress.
Legislation to free the Philippines
mas been before Congress virtually
result Of the Spanish-American War.
but 1t has made little headwav
The question was revived during be-
bate on the Hawley-Smoot tariff act,
chiefly by Representatives of sugar-pro-
ductng States who would like to levy
a tariff on Philippine sugar and other
importas.
Will Sail With Quezon August 8.
During the last session the Senate
Insular Affairs Committee approved
bill looking toward Philippine independ-
| ence. but 1t failed to receive Senate
consideration.
Gov. Gen. Davis recently told the
Fflipinos In two public utterances they
were economically dependent upon this
country. He said the effects Of the
worldwide economic OPPRESSION would
have been much more serious In the
islands If they had not had free entry
to the big American market
Despite the economic side Of the
question. about which there Is some
difference of opinion, the Philippine
political leaders have made independ-
ence their biggest issue.
Secretary Hurley will sail with his
wife and Senator Quezon from Seattle
August 8. Arriving in Manila August
81. he will spend II days studying con-
ditions and talking to leaders before
turning homeward.

anyone for perjury in this connection and
we are mighty thankful that this particu-
lar viewpoint is the accepted one. The
wide divergence in the stories would make
it possible to name a dozen or more for
perjury and one shudders to think of
dozen or more trials after the one big
trial.
We make no brief for Pantages nor for
the complaining witness. The people de-
cided the issue between them and that
decision is the final one.
The layman might think that it would
be good idea to take measures to stop
some of the out and out lying that is
done under oath in every court trial, but
such step would involve practically
every civil and criminal case in the courts
which are badly clogged now and would
be unable to function if strict adherance
to the law were attempted.
Some time ago the Wickersham COM
mission pointed out the need of COM
plete revision in our method of hearing
criminal cases. The Pantages trial-not
the verdict-emphasizes that need.

Several F. F. A. boys have gone
over to the Loyeland ranch and
bought pure bred hogs to use in
their projects. George Adams, Clyde
Bibles, and Fred Veliquette have
purchased theirs; several others
plan to get such animals soon.
The number of pure bred animals
is increasing; for as previously, only
one pure bred animal was register
ed in the projects. this year there
are six pure bred sows, and one
pure bred Guernsey heifer being
used in the work. 1t was thought
that the incubators would be run
ming before now, but it has proved
so difficult to get Matching eggs
that it will be impossible to start
the machines before December.
Values of various feeds for poul-
try are being discussed in the fresh
man agriculture class. Agriculture
II students are studying the bal
ancing of rations and the values of
live stock feeds; while in the third
year agriculture class, the boys are
continuing their study of market
methods emphasizing the methods
followed by cooperative marketing
organizations.
Nine boys have been selected to
accompany Paul Thornton, the agri-
culture department director, to the
great Western Livestock show and
rodeo. at Los Angeles, on Thursday,
December 3. They will stay until
December 6.
Bill Ferguson has just completed
an electrically equipped brooder
which he has constructed in the
high school shop. In it, he will
brood the baby chicks which he is

are concerned that is perfectly all right
A jury of the people reached decision
to free him and we can only wish that
this particularly nasty case which has
dragged through the courts for two years,
could now be relegated to the past and
forgotten.
But there is still civil action against
Pantages to be decided and long suf-
fering public will again have the sordid
story of the alleged attack repeated for
their edification.
In the light of the verdict acquitting
Pantages, it is apparent to all that there
was some high and lofty perjuring done
during the course of the trial. One can
not say they were mistakes. The COM
planning witness and her supporters told
one story. Pantages and his side told
another. Neither story iibed with the
other

UNCLE WIGGILY'S TOOTH
PASTE

Uncle Wiggily was just going to
hop away from his hollow stump
bungalow one morning, when from
upstairs, in one of the bathrooms,
he heard Nurse Jane calling.
Come back here! Don't go
awayl Come back at once!'
Are you speaking to me, Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy?" called the rabbit
gentleman. Why do you want me
to come back when 1 may be too
late to find a jolly adventure"
Excuse me, I wasn't speaking to
you,n went on the muskrat lady
houSekeeper. Not but what I am
always happy to speak to you," she
went on, but this time l happened
to be speaking TO some of the bunny
children"
Whats the matter with them? ?"
Uncle Wiggily wanted to know.
Where are they going and why do
you want them to return?"
They are slipping away down
the back stairs" said Nurse Jane
with a. patient sigh. And the
reason I want them to come back
is that they have not yet cleaned
their teeth. Always on Saturday
morning, when there is no school.
the bunnies try to slip away and
run out to play without cleaning
their teeth"
"All of them?' asked Uncle
Wiggily.
No, not all of them" said Nurse
Jane. THE older boys and girls
know what it means if they don't
clean their teeth morning and

night. They know they may get
aches and pains. I don't have
much trouble with the older chill
dren.''
Does Baby Bunty give any
trouble?" asked Mr. Longears.
NO, that jolly little orphan loves
to clean her teeth" said Nurse
Jane. She would clean them five
times a day if I'd let her"
Then why don't some of the
young bunnies like to clean their
teeth, Nurse Jane?" inquired Mr.
Longears
Il suppose they think it's too
much trouble" explained Miss
Fuzzy. Il do all can. I get them
in the bathroom and pretend they
are soldiers going to drill with tooth
brushes for guns. But it isn't
much use. I wish you could think
of a way to make them want to
clean their teeth on Saturday
morning"
"I'll try" promised Mr.. LongearS.
Il think I'll ask Baby Bunty why
she loves to clean her teeth SO
often. There must be a reason and
if find it out I can, perhaps, find
q way to make my other little rab-
bits want to clean their teeth
Going to where Baby Bunty was
giving her doll some breakfast,
Uncle Wiggily asked the little or
phan:
Why do you like to clean your
teeth so often?"
"Oh, Unkie Wig" answered
Bunty, 81 love the taste of the
tCothpaste. It's a new, perfumed
kind that use. was in the drug
store one day and the drug store
dog gave me a little tube of tooth
paste that tasted SO nice 1 love to
use it..
Hal That's the secret" cried
Mr.. Longears. "I guess Nurse Jane
has been trying to get my little
rabbits to clean their teeth with
old fashioned toothpaste that tastes
like onions, maybe. I'll get the new
perfumed kind for them"
Going to the drug store, the rab-
bit gentleman asked the dog who
kept it; if he had toothpaste that
little bunnies would like the
taste of.
Lots and lots of that kind said
the dog gentleman. In fact, I
have a number of different sorts of
toothpaste, all of which taste so
jolly that it's a pleasure for chill
dren TO use them.'
Give me a dozen tubesl" cried
Uncle Wiggily. I'll see if I can
make my bunnies eager to clean
their teeth on Saturdays"
Hopping home, his pockets filled
with tubes of paste to clean, Whiten
and polish the teeth and perfume
the breath, Uncle Wiggily went up
to the bunny children's bathroom.
Passing through the yard he called
to those bunnies who had run away
without cleaning their teeth.
Come up into the bathroom and
see a trickl" called Mr. Longears.
oh, a trick! Daddicums is go
ing to do a trick!" they shouted
and up the stairs they hoped
three at time.
When they were all in the bath
room, Uncle Wiggily took out tube
of paste and his brush. He began
to brush his teeth and, no sooner
had he started then the room was
filled with a sweet perfume.
"Oh, how good that smells!"

cried Nippy, one of the little bum
nies. What is it?"

"Oh, let me clean my teeth with
somel" begged Nappy.
Il want to brush mine, tool!
