AMERICAN TEACHERS IN THE PHILIPPINES Forty American teachers have just been employed by the Department of Education, at Manila. They will teach English in the island schools and train Filipino teachers in normal schools. To American teachers justly must go the praise for much of the effort and influence that have carried the Filipinos forward so rapidly, since American occupation of the islands. The American teacher has been the trailblazer of advancement in the islands. Filipinos are apt learners. Educational progress in the islands has been remarkable. When the American farmer introduces shrewd business methods into farming, he will have bigger crops of profits. Success cannot be reaped from sowing reckless management on the farm. RELIEF FOR RANCHERS ON RECLAIMED LAND Ranchers who pluckily have been fighting to keep their heads above water, financially, on land in federal reclamation projects, will be given extension of time in which to make payments, if a bill introduced by Senator Phipps, of Colorado, and endorsed by Secretary of the Interior Work, should be passed by Congress. There are many meritorious cases of this kind in different parts of the West. The relief sought should be given. It requires real courage to go onto the desert, clear land that has been arid for ages, and take the risks and assume the costs of bringing such land under cultivation. Reclamation ranchers have many handicaps. Those of them whose means are limited should have easier terms from Uncle Sam.

You can find laborers almost everywhere except in a Labor Government. When they call it "crude oil," the adjective doesn't refer to its lobbying methods. Another objection to the fire of patriotism is that it peters out before the bills are paid. A hick town is one that wishes it had enough art fever in its soul to support an opera. Conservative: A full stomach entirely surrounded by contentment. Mexican candidates are more direct. Instead of hunting delegates, they hunt the opposition. The difficulty in turning immigrants into good Americans is to find a model to work by. Of course we can't recognize the Reds. They shoot the rich instead of taxing them to death. "We need a slogan to end war," says a magazine writer. What about "Pay as you enter?

It concerns little Jimmie, aged six. He had been to church, and had displayed more than usual interest in the sermon, in which the orl- gin of Eye had been dwelt on at some length. On his return from service, there being guests at dinner, he had also displayed a good deal of interest in the eatables, especially the pie and cakes. Some time afterwards, being missed, he was found sitting quietly in a corner with his hands prest tightly over his ribs, and an expression of awful anxiety on his face. "Why, what on earth is the matter?" asked his mother in alarm. "Mamma, I'm afraid I'm going to have a wife," little ohhnle replied. The little boy dashed wildly around the corner, and collided with an old gentleman, who naturally inquired the cause of such haste. "I gotta git home fer imaw to spank me," 'the boy panted. The old gentleman couldn't quite believe it. "I can't understand your being in such a hurry to be spanked," he said doubtfully. I alnt. But if I don't git there 'fore paw, he'll spank me." Just think of the mentally unbalanced As patients, abiding their time; Don't throw such people in prison. For jailing insane is a crime. For the production of clean milk, clean dairies, clean cows and clean methods are necessary; for the production of safe milk, healthy cows and healthy milkers are necessary. The difficulty in turning immigrants into good Americans is to find a model to work by. Of course we can't recognize the Reds. They shoot the rich instead of taxing them to death. "We need a slogan to end war," says a magazine writer. What about "Pay as you enter?" So far, fortunately, no ribald commentator has called General Sawyer either a lame duck or a quack. We are becoming a sophisticated lot when a shooting at Hollywood gets only six inches on the first page. There must be executives, of course. Who else would have time to entertain loafers? The earth is well explored now, and there isn't much left to discover except new sources of revenue. What every Government needs is a foreign policy that will make friends abroad without losing votes at home. Mr. Hughes, shuddering about the Reds, somehow reminds us of France shuddering about the return of the crown prince. ENJOYED A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP "I wish to say that FOLEY PILLS worked O.K. on me in a couple of hours and the pains left me at once. I took a couple of them in the afternoon, went to bed and had a good night's sleep and have slept good ever since," writes Con Thiel, 118 E. Columbia St., Fort Wayne, Indiana.

LIFE NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK JANUARY 17 Our President Says— "There is no argument against the taking of life insurance. It is established that the protection of one's family or those near to him is the one thing most to be denied, and there is no medium of protection that is better than insurance. Our Government has given close attention to insurance companies, and they are on so sure a foundation that it is in substance a guaranty method of protection for our people."

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying TRAFFIC CONTROL A LA COUE—Santa Ana Register Dr. William A, McKeever, a Kansas psychologist, underlooks to apply to traffic problems the mental-cure system of Coue. "There are not more than ten critical points for the driver, for the pedestrian and for the passenger," he says. "Cover these danger spots with an advance vision in the mind of the individual, showing him specifically how to act or what to do, and the safety will take care of itself." He wants the driver to say to himself, over and over, this dialogue: "I will think ahead; I will drive carefully; I will avoid speeding; I will observe signals; I will manage my auto; I will slacken speed; I will respect pedestrians; I will assist at accidents; I will encourage others; I will assume responsibility." And here is the pedestrian's decalogue: "I will be thoughtful; I will follow traffic; I will watch street cars; I will walk deliberately; I will co-operate with drivers; I will stand in safety zone; I will wait for car to stop; I will keep to the right; I will be responsible; I will avoid jay-walking." These formulas, properly applied by everybody, would doubtless make a big improvement in the situation. There's nothing like preparedness in the mind or elsewhere. They may prove, however, a bit hard to learn and remember, compared with Monsieur Coue's "getting better every day" formula. Can't some inspired traffic cop set them to rhyme? From that dear London comes the usual horoscope for the coming few years, and we must say it is a bird. It is compounded by the most eninent horoscopist in that country. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT Before there are any more shootings out there we would suggest that the name of the town be changed to Follywood. Old Bean Richmond Temple, our faithful London correspondent, in his weekly letter, calls our attention to the fact that members of the American smart set now in London carry small monkeys in their handbags when they visit the hotel supper rooms. That is important. Ladies' hats will be in the form of helmets this winter and will be trimmed with bird carcasses.

Regarding the styles in gowns, he says: "Hobbled knees is a term that has become familiar in London since the arrival and acceptance of the tight skirts, which are actually tied to the wearer's knees. Everything points to the probability that the favorite frock for next spring will be the model that looks, and is, exaggeratedly tight to the knees and then allowed to flare into an umbrella flounce, a quaint outline." Outside of that, the political situation seems to be quiet and the entente cordiale between the two nations remains unbroken. The Owl Drug Co.
