'aGUINALDO IN
U. $. CAPITAL
eets Many Wives of Amer-
ican Statesmen and
Makes a Hit.
When General Emilio Annina Ido was
leading the Filipino army against tlie
American fones twenty years ago he
probably little dreamed that some day
II daughter of his would visit the city
•f Washington and would l»e given a
great reception at the famous Con-
gressional Club! And that the wives
of 120 members of the American Con-
gress aud two wives of members of tbe
President’s cabinet would call upon
her to pay their respects !
But all this actually happened when
Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, his nineteen-
year-old daughter, visited Washington
recently. And those wives of the Am-
erican ala teamen expressed themselves
as both charmed and surprised at the
retyped, tactful, college educated young
ml** who greeted them.
"Ml** Aguinaldo was simply delight-
ful,” was Ills expression of one con-
gressman's wife. “She was very mod-
est, yet she acted so natural and thor-

On another occasion while In Wash-
ington Miss AgulnaUlo was given a real
ovation by a Flllpino-Americati audi-
ence when she recited "My Last Fare-
well,” poem of Dr. .lose Klzal, the Fil-
ipino martyr.
"Mis* Aguinaldo is a student at the
University of Illinois, Urhanu, III.
While In Washington she was the
guest of Mrs. Jaime C. tleVeynt, wife
of one of the resident commissioners
from the Philippines. The Capitol
bnlldlng and the Congressional library
appealed particularly to the young
Flllplna, while the beautiful sights
from the Washington monument thrill-
fed her with delight. When asked how
she liked America, she smiled and an-
swered :
“It Is a wonderful country. I didn't
; In the university are just lovely, but I
; cannot help feeling homesick at times
| because I am missing my father. My
I coming here wks Indeed a great sacri-
fice for him, for we are very close. He
Is so good to me.’’
Mias Aguinaldo Is Intensely patriotic.
She does not con<*eal her resentment
when she hears or reads of a misrepre-
sentation of the Filipinos. "It Is un-
fortunate,” she once exclnlmed in a
voice full of sadness, "that my country
and iny people are hardly known, much
less understood, by the people of Am-
erica.”
Politics Is tabooed in any conversa-
tion with this Filipino maid. She
evades the topic by replying that site
la too young to express opinions on
things political. "All I can say,” she
declares, "Is that I share with my
father in the desire for Independence
for my native land. There is no ques-
tion about our being able to govern
ourselves."
Filipinos declare Miss Aguinaldo has
S "genuine Flllplna temperament”—
that is, she tines not believe in the oc-
cidental custom of “dates” between
young men and women. She tioes lint
see anything wrong In It. she says, hut
It IS such a violent departure from the
custom in the Philippines that she can-
not adopt It.
“You might laugh at me,'' she said,
"but I cannot go out with one single
escort iincliaperoned. I simply can’t.
I will go hack to my country with tlie
*oul of a Flllplna."
A newspaper In one of the large Am-
erican cities that Miss Aguinaldo visit-
ed expressed the opinion that she
would no doubt he greatly impressed
hy the sight of street cars and some of
the fine residences she would see, hut
the truth Is the young lady wa« raised

to-date street cur ej stein all her life.
WHAT ONE"g°IRL DID
WITH SMALL GARDEN
A 16-year-old Oklahoma girl
made $600 on the tomatoes in
her garden last season. This
is her second year of work in a
garden club of the type super-
vised by the Deparment of Agri-
culture and the State College.
The club girl attributes her
marked success to following out
to the letter the instructions
which were given her by her
dub leader. An early hot bed
and an excellent early market
•undoubtedly were the secrets
of her large returns. She had
tomatoes on the market long
before any one else. For th

of these scholarships but

she expects to make more thru

Why I Trade at Home
I trade at home and never roam
Seeking “bargains” elsewhere.
I love the town in which I live
For all my interests are there.
And then again I buy from friends,
We all need one another.
When I run short I can approach
My dealer as a brother.
When buying here with concience clear
I put my money down,
I know it stays right here and works
For the welfare of my town.
Another thing right here I bring,
The produce that. I raise
And always get an honest deal—
I’ve found that it pays.
And then, I know when buying here
It helps things to relax,
And also helps the man who pays
His portion of the tax.
And when I’m sick or in hard luck
The man I buy from’s here
With the pocketbook, if need be,
And kindly words of cheer.
So that is why I trade at home;
I’m a booster through and through
For a town that’s good to live in
Is good to buy in, too.
All Drug Stores, friends, are not alike,
There’s a difference, you know,
And folks who are particular
All know just where to go.
The West Pharmacy is known to be
A store of reputation,
Where, when you buy, you can rely
On no adultration.

No, reader, (his corn was not grown
by one of our local farmers! It wasn't
grown in the United Stales, even. It
was grown in the faro If Philippine Is-
lands h.v Filipino schoolboys. Two fine
crops of corn a year are produced in
the Islands.
The Philippines are doing some won-
derful things In the sgrlcultural line.
The Philippine government has fine ag
rlrultnrul schools throughout the Is-
lands, and the Philippine legi.l* { jre,
composed entirely of Filipinos, Is each
year making larger and larger appro-
priations for this Iniportunt work.
The staple food of the Islands la rice,
hut corn Is coming right along In popu-
lar favor. Its use was given great Im-
petus In the last year because of a riee
shortage. Other Important Philippine
cropa are hemp, sugar cane, cocoanuts,
enff "e, tapioca and pineapples. Lum-
ber s also an Important Industry.
There are hundreds of thousands of
acres' of land lying idle in the Philip-
pines, which have a greater area of
fertile land than Japan—this in spite
of the fact that the population of the
Philippines Is 11,000,000 while that of
Japan Is arouud 55,000,000. There la
every reason to believe that some day
the Philippines will have a population
as large as that of Japan today. The
Ftllplnoa are the only Christian people
In the orient, and their young men are
working night and day to prepare
themselves for the responsibility of
clilseuship in the Philippine Republic,
which they helieve to be near at hand.

When I first began talcing

lame and sore. Sometimes it
seemed as if the muscles were
tied in a knot and would not

them. From the first few dos-

everything that is claimed for
them.”
