FEED FETTER A CA2IDXDATE FOR SHESHT. In this issue of the Times will he

found the announcement of Fred Fetter as a Democratic candidate for the nomination of Sheriff subject to the decision of the primary to be hell May 4th, 1920. Fred neecrs no Introduction to the voters of the county and especially to the defocratic voters. lie was born in Vernon 4t ears ago where all his life has been spent. lie has been active in politices even before he became a voter. The democrats of Vernon township and of Jennings County have always looked to him to take care of the Interests of the party's candidates there which he has done in an honorable and diplomatic way. It lias been many years since the democrats of Vernon township have i been represented on the county tic ket. It is therefore due the democrats of that township that they have a candidate and they are unanimous in the belief that Fred is the one on whom the favor and the honor should be conferred, There is no doubt of his election if he is successful at the primary. lie is one of those cheerful big hearted fellows who always meets every one with a smile and a pleasant greeting. Ho will therefore not only carry the entire vote of his own party but will win many from the republican par;: lie lias shown himself to be above the plane of the petty, radical pol; titian and has always done that which was best for hla community where he has taken an active part in public affairs, o was elected Trustee of his township over a good, honest and respected citizen which demonstrates Ids popularity and hhj poluJarity and his ability as ay2i3 rker In iil 3 administration fu such trustee' he did nothing for which an apology is necessary and if elected to the office which he eeeks he will look after the duties incumbent upon him in a manner that will not only be an honor to himself but ft credit to eJnnings County. When he becomes SIIEllIFF he will be an officer for ALL the people of tne county and will not belittle himself by being tool of only a few. Give him your support at the primary and the.r boost for him at the polls in November and you will never be sorry nor ashamed for having done so. Atmospheric Camouflage.

THE CHILDREN OF THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION!;'' The Eby of This Group Cpcska Throe Lanauaes Viays- C , :- Sin r '4.h

Permit us to present the De Veyiaj family. The Hon. Jaime C. de Veyra is the Kesident Commissioner from the Philippine Islands to the United States and has just been elected to a second term of three years. As Resident Commissioner he has a" seat on the floor of the American Congress, the privilege of taking part In debates, although no vote. Commissioner de Veyra has an interesting wife and four bright Filipino kiddies. The De Veyra family, individually and collectively, constitute the best argument as to the tact and capa bilities of Filipinos that the Philippine Islands have in Washington. The commissioner is a 100 per cent Filipino, a Yisayan, and is one of the foremost leaders of the party in power in the islands. During American occupation he has been successively governor of his province, member of the Philippine legislature, cabinet memKfir mifi pxpfutive secretary of the Islands. Like many statesmen of the Philippines, he was originally a newspaper man. He was one of the founders of El Nuevo Dia of Cebu, the first Filipino paper published advocating Philippine independence. The paper came under the censorship of General McIntyre, and on the appearance of the first number the editors were left in the singular position of seeing every prominent article blue penciled. Mrs. de Veyra, like her husband, Is a "live wire" in the Philippines' cause. She is the best known Filipina in America. She is an interesting public speaker and is constantly giving illustrated lectures at women's clubs and other gatherings. Mrs. de Veyra is a publicity bureau all la herself and has put the Philippines on the map, so far as the women fol'c of Washington congressional circles are concerned. "I find that the Filipino people have been much misrepresented in the UnitOuch! "You seem to hate that fellow Smith," said Frown. "What irf the trouble betwe.-n you and him?" "T introduced him to inv wife the other day," replied Jones, "and the srshhv boob had to say: 'Why, I thought that the lady you were with in New York was your clnnati Enquirer. Keeping Him Busy. Harris Walters has been looking pretty bad since Ids daughter got married, hasn't he? Correll Yes; you see, ho had no sooner got his daughter off his hands than he found he would have to put her husband on his feet.

My people have most of the defects, I suppose, that other humans have, but at the same time we are far from the people that many Americans have been made to believe. Not only are we a Christian people, but our rr.ee has a history that wo are not ashamed of. Throughout the Philippine Islands the people ore nowworking earnestly to improve themselves and their conditions so they will be prepare ! take over their own affairs. Wo -, io.v? America for giving us a chai. e to heip ourselves and for having promised us our independence, which is one of the dearest desire's of the entire citizenship of the Islands " To American women whoso idea of Filipinos have been f . ended on Sunday supplement descriptions of wild tribes, Mrs. do Veyra's gentle manner and evident culture have boon a revelation. She is sought by women's club be. ".v.: .so of her charm !r.g manner a au iim-roiiiptu sneaker on t: subject nearest her he; ill the Wi i of h country. At a recent Washington gathering she gave in perfect English a concise account of the work of a woman's club in Manila which supj-Hes v'- ': to the babies of the poor and tra'- -"her to care for their youus cwl.-'i ;.

The four little Do Veyra. .shown in the picture, bavins attended rh$ public schools in Maniii, slip; od right into the same grades in the- schools of Washington.
