storm of halle!uliahs and shouts. Mr..

was sung With tremendous enthusiasm.

revercnt as Barking" Thompson, a
nickname bestowed because OF his Pc
culiar habit of gradually pulling up

and then bursting forth in an inarticu-
late shout. disconcerting to the unini

singing of the hymn his expansive red
cheeks had been distended like bal

was holding Up his hand for silence
when with one terrific Boo" Bark,

Somehow this interruption took the
spirit out Of the meeting. Captain Fri

JAPs AS FARM HANDS.

A friend writes from an eastern state
inquiring whether it is possible to sea
cure the importation of the Japanese
laborer as a farm hand and wants to
know whether, If he could be obtained
for this purpose, he would be sue
cess. From what we know of these
people we should regard them as well
adapted for work Oh our American
farms. They are trained along agricul-
tural lines from their youth and no
people on earth are making a closer
study of how to make small tract Of,
land yield large amount of food.
Then rs race they are very fond OF
the soil, its cereal, fruit and flower
production. They are extremely eco
nomical, will never waste anything If
they can possibly help it and would
prove the best of help wherever farm
ing was carried on in an extensive
manner, such as gardening, fruit rails
ing and dairying The Japanese gov
ernmcat has not favored the emigra-
ton OF its citizens heretofore, perhaps
having in mind the need of all able
bodied men in connection with its late
conflict with Russia. Now that the
war is over it is possible that these re-
strictions may be removed and emil
grafton be at least permitted, If not
encouraged. The conditions In Japan
for tie common laborer are such that
it would seem easy to induce him to
come to this country If he could, for
he there gets but 81 per month and has
to board himself out Of that. The
north and northwest are badly handi-
capped today in their agricultural de-
vaiopment for want Of reliable help,
the class Of immigrants which are now
coming from Europe being almost en-
tirely worthless as farm hands. We
believe that the importation Of one or
two hundred thousand Japs to be set
to work on our farms would be great
thing, not only for the Japs themselves,
but more so for the owners Of our
American farms, which are not more
than half worked for want of reliable
help. The Japanese have proved them
selves to be much better breed Of
humanity than we had ever believed
before, and it is probably true that
there exists toward them none Of the
prejudice which attaches to the Chi
nese

There was more singing. Mrs Small
testified" So did Barzilla, with many
hesltations and false starts and an air
of relief when it was over; then an
other hymn end more testimony, each
speaker denouncing the billiard sa-
loon. Then John Baxter arose and
spoke.
He began by saying that the people

Perley's face, God has given us task

We've talked and talked, but what
have we done? Nonn'. Nothin' at

tighter OH the town than it ever has

asked Captain Perez when the recital
was finished.
Seemed to me like a pretty good
Teller" answered Captain Fri DELHI
erately. "He didn't git mad at the
joke the gang played on him, for one
thing. He amt so smooth tongued as
Parker used to be, and he didn't treat
Baxter and me as If Cape Codders was
q kind of animals, the way some OF the
summer folks do. He had the sense
not. to offer to pay me for takin' him
over to the station, and liked that
Take it altogether, he seemed like q

he added as an afterthought.
"But say" he said moment later,
ave got some more news, and 1t amt
good news, either. Web Saunders has
got his liquor license"
{ 81 want to know!' exclaimed Captain
Perez.
"You don't tell met" said Captain
Jerry.
Then they both said, what will John
Baxter do now? And Captain Err
shook his head obviously.
I The cod bit well next morning, and
Captain Fri did not get in from the
4Windward ledge until afternoon. By
the way, 1t may be we'll to explain that
Captain Jerry's remarks concerning
"settlin' down" and "restin'," which we
chrontcled In the first chapter, must
not be accepted too literally. While it
Is true that each Of the trio had given
up long voyages, 1t is equally true that
none had given up work entirely. Some
people might not consider it restful to
rise at a every week day morning and
sail In catboat twelve miles out to
sea and haul wet cod line for hours,
not to mention the sail home and the
cleaning and barreling Of the catch.
Captain Err did that. Captain Perez
was what he called "stevedore"-that
is, general caretaker during the own
er's absence at Mr.. Delaney Barry's
summer estate on the cliff road" As
for Captain Jerry, he was janitor at
the schoolhouse.
The catch was heavy the next morn
Ing, as has been said, and by the time
the last fish was split and iced and the
last barrel sent to the railway station
1t was almost supper time. Captain
Fri had intended calling on Baxter
early In the day, but now he deter.
mined to wait until after supper.
The captain had bad luck in the
matching" that followed the meal
and 1t was nearly o'clock before he
finished washing dishes. This distaste
full task being completed, he set out fol
the Baxter homestead.
The captains views on the liquor
question were broader than those of
many Orham citizens. He was an alb.
stainer, generally speaking, but his
scruples were not as pronounced as
those Of Miss Abigail Mullett, whose
proudest boast was that she had re,
fused brandy when the doctor pre-.
scribed 1t as the stimulant needed to
save her life. On general principles the
captain objected to the granting Of a
license to fellow like Web Saunders,
but 1t was the effect that this action OF
the state authorities might have upon
his friend John Baxter that troubled
him most.
For forty-five years John Baxter was
called by Cape Cod people "as smart a
skipper as ever trod plank" he
saved money, built an attractive home
for his wife and daughter and would

1t is good thing to keep in mind
that the very best way to insure good
seed corn-corn which will surely grow
strong and thrifty next year-is to
gather it during tie fore part OF
October before the frost has touched
it and then dry it out and keep it
where the frost Will not touch it until
next spring. This plan will make test
ing the corn unnecessary.

The mass Of men are of the average
sort; the most of the crops raised are
of the average yield; the quality Of
most Of our domestic animals is Of the
average grade. Only very few farm
ers aspire to get out of the rut Of the
average way of doing things, being
satisfied with doing that well. The
successful men in any line Of business
are those who are dissatisfied with the
schedule Of average work and results
and aspire to something better. In ev-
cry community may be found some
man who aims to secure more than av-
erage crops. His corn will yield from
sixty to seventy bushels per acre and
other crops In proportion, and he counts
1t as a pleasure to do the work neces-
sary to secure such yield. He also
wants better than an average grade OF
stock on his place and is willing to
spend the money needed to secure It.
The real field for ambition lies directly
connected with this trying to do better
than the average not only on the farm,
but In all other lines Of human effort
and endeayor. Young man, do not be
content to be just an average man or
do average work. There is something
bigger and better in sight If you will
| only reach for it.

Small gas plants for the use of our
smaller towns are rapidly coming into
use, affording cheap fuel supply and
means of illumination. They are made
possible by the use of what is known
as gas oil, grade Of kerosene oil which
is the by product OF the oil refineries
which Is worthless for illuminating
purposes and not heavy enough for q
lubricating oil, which, being very
cheap can be used by means Of a gas
retort to furnish gas of excellent
quality for lighting and heating pur-
poses. The owner Of such plant In a
town Of 5000 people told us recently
that he would rather have $50 patrons
for such plant than to own the ma
tional bank of the town, so far as u.s.
sured profits were concerned. In this
case the gas was furnished at $1.5O
per 1000 feet, which because Of the
superior heating and lighting quality
Of such oil gas was equivalent to ordi.
nary gas at 81 per 1000 feet.
