GIRL IN GOOD HEALTH.
Miss Ola Cook Secures CarboIic Acid
by Mistake at Her Home.

Ormanville, Sept. 27.-(Special.)-
The article which appeared recently
in the Courier under an Ormanyille
date, referring to9the narrow escape
from death of Miss Ola Cook, was in
error 1t stated that Miss Cook had
been Ill and was despondent but this
was untrue and the girl was in good
spirits. She secured the acid by mis-
take, thinking that it was headache
medicine. In the original article her
age was given as 16 years but she
is not yet quite 15. Miss Cook is re.
covering rapidly from the effects of
the acid.

Last night Baron Komura gave out
the following Interview:
AS result Of the war Japan un-
doubtedly will secure we'll recognized
position In the far east. l have, how
ever, no hesitation in affirming that
that there will be no break in the con

Steadily and firmly adhering to the
policy OF peaceful expansion in COM
merce and industry, Japan will devote
all her energies with renewed vigor to
the development Of her national re-
sources.
"She will continue, as in the past,
scrupulously to respect the acquired
rights and legitimate interests of the
powers In the far east; nor will she
attempt to interfere in the least with
the logical and legitimate develop.
ments of those interests.
Counts on American Support.
"In her pursuit of commercial and
industrial expansion Japan will count
upon the cooperation of the United
States, whose interests in the far east
are completely identical with her own
and whose traditional friendship fol
Japan has found fresh confirmation In
the appreciative and sympathetic atti
tude maintained by the American peo
pie throughout the tremendous strug
gle in which Japan has been engaged
1t is my sincere hope and earnest
belief that the relations between the
great republic and the empire Of the
east, which are based on mutual sym
pathy and identical interests will con,
tinue to grow in strength and solidity.'

powers cam eto this country and ami
cably settled their differences, the sig
nificance of which only one whose vi
sion is limited can underestimate,

of these amusing battles of Wit between

University of Missouri is reported as
follows:
In front of the main building on the campus
is a long oval flower-bed, which during the

This was too much for the lawyers. All day
they plotted in their building (called the

busy.

over their victory, tall, white board stood
upright at one end of the plot. On the board,

equalize themselves When other Gov

The progress of this country depends
largely upon a liberal administration of
the Post Office Department. No cheese

should be contemplated True economy
should counsel increased expenditures IN
the large cities, in order to insure more
prompt distribution. The constant tend
encv is toward increasing the use of
privileges of the mails. Cheaper postage
is the cry, but ours already IS the cheapest
in the world-when our enormous area
of territory is considered. The moment
that letters can be carried for one cent,
let it be done. There must not be any
tax upon the interchange of knowl-
edge Partisan politics should be
wholly eliminated, as affecting appoint

force.
In conclusion, I repeat; 1t always is
safe to take the experience Of Great
Britain. because her Post-OfiCe Depart

with the excellence 1t has reached, after
