In reply Mr. Alex. Y. Lee, momber Bankow tof. the mission, said: "We want to Escoll spend more on our soil to grow a better staple. We are doing it. The High Commissioner has an agricultural school IN in Hankow, and it is taking up this line» of work. It is trying to develop a higher grade of cotton that will be suitable for the use of your machines. A great deal has to be spent on fertilisers for such IN production, but there is an area reclaim- ed from the China Sea, containing 100,000 neres, which will not need fertilisation

For thirty years to come. It is rich with IN the ingredients which are no necessary for coon-growing. There is a hindrance there at the moment, but the Eigh Commissioier thinks it can be removed."

PHILIPPINES DEBT TO US.

Bonded indebtedness of the Philippines to the United States at present tatals P.206,195.000, according to Insular Audi- tor Ben. F. Wright. Annual interest and sinking funds for the amount is estimated at P.13,062,200.

OWC9

The Auditor's books show that the Insular Government directly P.140,000,000. Indirectly, the Government, in behalf of pravicces, municipalities, the Metropolitan Water District, Manila hotel, Manila Eailroad company and other en- terprises, swes P.66,198.000.

In addition the Philippine Railway com- pany has sued bonds in the amount of P.17,008,000 on which the Government is responsible for the payment of interest,

.P.I. GOVERNMENT DEFICIT.

LESS BY TWELVE MILLIONS.

From & P-14,778,599.99 deficit for 1929, the Philippine Government was operated in 1923 with a deficit of only P.,316,232,15. P.67,581,727.31 represented the expenses while income amounted to P.65,268,495.13 in 1923.

Last year's deficit was prevented from swelling into more millions by a policy adopted by the Government of not spend- ing money when not available, and by rigid economy in deportments

A strict supervision by the Insular Auditor over the relvan of funds has help- ed in keeping down Government expenses.

HOW TO GET GOOD SERVICE FROM

MICHELIN TYRES.

Keep tyres pumped up to correct pressure for the load they have to carry. tell you what this should be,

When tyres are under inflated there is continual internal friction between the foundation cord and the rubber, causing overheating of the tyre and consequent rapid deterioration.

Water can also enter causing rust, resulting eventually in the rims having sharp edges which cut the walls of the tyre near the bead.

Most cars in Hongkong run on under inflated tyres with the above disastrous results.

Have your wheels examined front and rear for trueness and tracking alignment. If they are at fault in this respect the tread of the cover is subject to a grinding action which quickly destroys the cover.

Keep tyres free from oil and grease.
