AN EXPERIMENT
in HOPS

Canadian forests. or at a gay resort

men Of America gold is not the only
sesame TO pleasure-and Jerry Holt
was one of them. 1t had seemed a
natural thing for him to get down
TO the regulations of a training table
at college, and now it seemed no
more difficult for him, once he had
decided to grow hops, to strive for
the largest and finest yield in all tho
acres given up to the cultivation Of
them. 1t was an uphill fight, for his
father had purchased the land with
out seeing it, more to help a friend
out of financial embarrassment than
because he had any intention Of
growing vines on the soil.
But Jerry had conceived the idea
that growing hops would tougher his
muscles, which, for lack Of strenu-
Gus exercise of late, we're losing some
Of their wonted hardness and supple
ness.
When he arrived at the farm he
found a comfortable but deserted
house, a great gray barn, 100 acres
of weeds-and a grill
The girl, he learned, was an or

plantation in the county. Her plan

had already figured out that line
fences were dangerous things, and he
had made a mental decision never to
enter into a dispute about it with a
creature who was popularity known

Here and there, all down the long
rows of vines, could be seen The bent
backs Of men and boys and girls,
picking the silver blossoms on both
sides Of the Rood and Holt line
fence. The twilight was falling, but
the evening was dry, the crop un-
usually heavy, and the hours Of toll
had been heightened indefinitely in
the hope Of harvesting the crop be-
fore another rainfall. Over against
the line fence the bay pet, Nance,
rubbed noses with q white gelding on
the other side OF the rails. The
master Of the bay a had vsulted
the fence and by the side Of the
white gelding stood tEo-the
mistress Of "Vine-Clad" and
Jerry Holt! Trailing over the line
fence, panel after panel, crept a Wild
tangle Of random hops-vines that
had strayed from their own stakes,
and, like yearning lovers, had sought
rest in the arms Of others straining
out in the sunshine to receive them,
with a clasp Of slender green finger
tips, a touch Of the silver heads that
nodded in the breezel
But they came from my ground"
Holt vas arguing.
"This section Of the line fence is
mine, you know" she answered.
Didn't | repair il in May? These
hops arc on my rails!'
And so they bantered each other
till the twilight deepsned into early
night. The dark figures were one by
one lost in the darkness Of the hop
fields.

JAPANESE AMERICAN {. NOTES ARE GIVEN ID PUBLIC
DOCUMENTS PROVIDE FOR THE PRESERVATION OF PEACE
 ON THE PACIFIC

WASHINGTON, D. C., December l.-- The notes exchanged between the Unit cd States and Japan, declaring their policy in the far east, which have been the subject of correspondence between Secretary Root and Ambassador Taka- hira for some months, were made public at the state department tonight. Accom- panying the declaration are two letters one from Takahira and one from Root, the former expressing the belief that frank avowal of the aims, policy and intention of the two countries in the Pacific would not only tend to strength. en the relations of friendship and good neighborhood between the two nations, but would contribute materially to the preservation of general peace, and the latter declaring that ''this expression of mutual understanding is welcome to the government of the United States. v Each letter, in which is included the declaration, is dated November 30, the day on which the exchange took place.
 The five separate notes, explicit in terms, are as follows:
 First. It is the wish of the two gov fernments to encourage 2 free and peace. ful development of their commerce on the Pacific ocean.
 Second. The policy of both govern. ments, uninflueneed by any aggressive tendencies, is directed to the mainten. ancc of the status quo in the region above mentioned, and to the defense of the principle of equal opportunity for commerce and industry in China. Third. They are accordingly firmly resolved, reciprocally to respect terri torial possessions belonging to each other in the said region.
 Fourth. They are also determined tc powers in China by supporting by all the pacific means at their disposal tn, independence and integrity of China and the principle of equal opportunity ! for the commerce and industry of al nations in that empire.
 Fifth. Should any event occur threat ening the status quo as above designed or the principle of equal opportunity as above defined. it remains for tl, two governments to communicate witt each other in order to arrive at an un derstanding as to what measures they may consider it useful to take. l Ambassador Takahira, in statement issued subsequent to making public tn, notes, declared that they were simply the reaffirmation of what was declare, by the two governments years ago. | was something like transaction be 1 tween trusted friends

It ism t no difficult, says Dr. Shoop, to strengthen & weak Stomach, Heart or Kidneys. if one goes at it correctly. Each inside organ has it's controlling or inside nerve.
