A uannx viIIar.

In Hanke, n little village In Japan,
there has not been a quarrel or law
suit in 200 years. Neither has there
been one single crime committed, one
poor person obliged to call for aid from
the town or delinquent tax list. The
Japanese government has made this
model community gift of 500, which
all will admit is well deserved. But
these villagers have earned infinitely
more In the peace and prosperity they
have enjoyed-a reward which the peo-
pie of any town might have with the
same pains.
