hostile and baneful rate law that they

men are speaking in terms Of praise.
/ Is this legislation drastic We
have been assured by the Rock Island
long ago that it's average rate is two
and ne-tenth cents mile. 1t has
been shown that with the multitude
that Travelled free and by favor, the
other great number that Travelled on
two cents by purchase of mileage and
credentials, that no diminution Of the
railroads revenues would ensue when
all men rode at the two. cent rate.
What is drastic in cutting, of free

There is no hostility against rail-

and appreciate the need of these fac
tors to the product of prosperity. There
is no popular hostility to railroads;

Back of all this legislation and back

PARTNERS WITH IAPAN9

Baron Kanebo, spokesman for Japan,
contributes to the March 18th number
Of The North American Review, very
important article, entitled Japan and
the United States-Partners." 1t is,
in effect. a reply to all the recent war
talk, and the writer shows the mutual
commercial interdependence Of the
two nations. He concludes:
Besides the material arguments for
peace, we must remember that America
and Japan have been friends ever since
the advent of Commodore Perry.
There has never arisen between them
one troublesome question, their dip-
lomatic relations have always remained
cordial, and the trade Of the two ma
tions has increased within the last
thirty years with unparalleled ,rapidity.
And l might prophesy that COM
merce between the two countries will
be trebled whsn the Panama canal is
completed Cotton and tobacco will
come from Galveston and New Or
leans thru the canal direct to. Yoko-
hama, instead Of going across the At
lantic to Gibraltar and around by way
OF the Indian ocean American Pc
itroleum, heavy machinery and flour,
which now have to cross the Atlantic
to reach US, viii come thru the canal.
III one word, The Isthmian canal will
bring the American Atlantic coast
and the Gulf Of Mexico much nearer
to Yokohama than they are today.
So we see clearly that Japan and
the United States, friends Of half a
century. still have vital need of each
other, to say nothing of the prospect
of great mutual benefit thru united
effort in Asia, And the suggestion that
tire American or Japanese people
would tolerate any hostile policy by
their statesmen cannot be for one mo-
ment believed. 80

I LOOKER-ON IN IOWA !

Wall Lake, March 19.-This year
promes largely increased acreage OF
pop corn in Sac county. There seems
10 be no limit to the demand. We ara
told by correspondents to the eastern
papers that nearly half Of the pop corr
consumed In the United States is raised
in the small county of Sac. in the
northwestern portion of Iowa. There II
has been found that the soil is particu-
larly adapted to Its cultivation.
Before the shows and the street cor
ner merchants took 1t UP, the hot but
tered pop corn wasn't very much II
demand. Its cultivation was restricted
to a few stalks on the farm that me-
the home demand. A small quantity
might be bought at the store. but il
was high in price and the sales were
few.
The breakfast food manufacturers
are now the largest consumers Of por
corn IN the market Nearly half of the
ready to serve foods have a consider
able percentage of pop corn. One
brand is practically all pop corn
The pop corn belt is invaded each
spring by the agents Of Chicago and
New York firms which contract with
the raiser to take over his entire crop
This method of handling the harvest
makes the grower an assured market
at remunerative price, and for sew
eral years the average price paid has
been so cents hundred pounds.
The average yield is about 5000
pounds to the acre, the corn requires
less care and watchfulness than the
Indian variety, and even on hundred
dollar land there is good profit in it =
more than in wheat, corn or oats.
. An Iowa authority says that the to-
tai yield of Sac and Ida counties, which
compose the pop corn belt, will reach
10, 100000 pounds, and if it were all
popped before being shipped it would
require 1000 train loads of twenty cars
each.
Pop corn has the advantage of other
members Of the corn family in that ii
always ripens before the early frost
can get a chance at it, and the drought
doesn't hurt it much. The job Of pick
ing and husking is not pleasant one
owing to the sharpness of the grain
ends. but expert pickers can make SIS
a day. at the usual rate of Is cents
hundred pounds.
The discovery of the Iowa popcorn
belt came about by accident. About
twenty-five years ago an eccentric
Yankee who had located in Sac county
near Odebolt, decided to break away
from the old traditions, and instead OF
diversifying his crops to plant them
to one thing only He tried what one
year and failed to make any money
For two years thereafter he planted
all of his 200 acres to potatoes, and
everybody laughed. When a few years
later he planted it all to popcorn a big
shout of merriment went up, but when
in the fall the Yankee marketed his
entire crop at a big profit nobody even
smiled. The next year a neighbor
followed his example. Cotton, the first
popcorn man, bought his crop ON the
ground and that year had more popA
corn than any ten men in the United
States. He had the market cornered,
and he got the price he named. Then
