RICE FIELDS OF TEXAS.
Japanese Farmers Making ortunes By Japanese Farmers Making Fortunes By

From the Kansas City Star.
 Rich thrashing has been going on in Texas for the last two months and now is practically finished. The crop Is confined to the upper gulf coast region and is com paratively new industry. It is conserv- atively estimated that the rice yield in the state this year is approximately 100000 sacks. Each sack contains four bushels. The United States production of rice last year was insufficient to meet the home de- mand and 100000 sacks were imported. The Texas crop this season was unusu- ally good. The yield upon some of the plantations ran from 10 to 20 sacks an acre. It Is said that the average cost of production is a little more than S1 a sack.
 The Japanese are the most thrifty rice growers in Texas. There are several colo nies of these planters in the gulf coast re- zion of the state. One of the largest is at Webster. Another colony is at Deep water about six miles from Webster. These Japanese give much more attention to the crop than the average American planter, and as result they obtain twice the yield. Many of the Japanese rice planters in the gulf coast region obtained from 20 to 25 barrels of rice an acre this season.
 Instead of planting several hundreds or thousands of acres in rice as Is done by most of the American planters the Jap anese grower confines his operations to a comparatively small tract of land. He cul- tivates every foot of this land intensively and makes it yield the greatest possible return. In the colonies Japanese laborers are employed. These worlrmen are intel ligent and educated young men who hope to make their fortune In the United States in a few years and then return to Japan and enjoy it.
 While rice growing Is the principal in- dustry of the Japanese in Texas the Web ster and Deepwater colonies raise vari-

CURE FOR LAZINESS IS
 THE LATEST DISCOVERY

the day the term opens the school physi- clans will make the round, and every pupil who cannot show a certificate that he has been vaccinated with the laziness antitoxin will be taken promptly in hand by the school doctor.
 Then little Johnny never will pretend to have sore toe when 1t comes time to go to school in the morning. He will never play hockey in order to visit the old swimming hole. Teachers principal duty will be to see that the children do not study too hard.
 The economic possibilities of world where everybody loves to work are things to consider. There will probably be a law that man who lays up money in excess of certain reasonable sum will not be permitted to work to earn more. The immediate effect would be to abolish riches for when a man saw his wealth mounting to the danger point he would hurry up and get rid of the surplus.
 Applies to Mental Fatigue.
 Dr. Burnham believes his laziness an- titoxin would apply to mental as well as physical fatigue. Every novelist in the future might be expected to write more books than Cyrus Townsend Brady He would always be in the mood for work and would not have to wait until the in- spiration seized him or the wife needed a new dress before he could drag his re- luctant fingers to the typewriting ma chine.

working a second shift under an assumed name for another firm. All the stock notices about industry will be thrown !n the discard, and the butterfly instead of the busy bee will be held up as pattern for the youth of the land. Ministers will beseech their parishoners to take life easier and not to work so much. Men will not need moral coaching or the spur of ambition to render them ambitious. They will have an absolute passion for work.

 John N. Simpson of Dallas is said to be the largest rice grower in Texas. He has af arm of 10000 acres, situated in Mata- gorda county. He had 5000 acres of this farm in rice this season, and the thrash- ing of the crop recently was finished. The
