1t is all very well for Secretary
Root and the Japanese Ambassador to
sign declarations of treaties estab-
fishing understanding and friendship
between the two countries, but as
long as California is a part of the
United States and is perpetually
passing bills hostile to the Japanese
residents in that state, peace is in
jeopardy and war is imminent. As a
nation, our relations with Japan are
most friendly, but the state of Cali
.fornia insists on exclusing Japanese
children from the public schools and
breaking up the business establish
ments of the japanese merchants. 1t
might be a good idea to give Cali
fornia a little lesson in common
sense.

The law prohibiting the keeping of
tuberculosis patients in county in
firmaries became effective on Jan. 1,
but very few counties will be able
to comply with it's provisions for the
reason that they have not erected or
secured hospitals for the treatment
OF such patients. The law was en-
acted by the last general assembly
and under it is incumbent upon each
county to either establish a tuber-
culosis hospital or to contract with
an adjoining county that may have
such an institution. But five coun-
ties of the state have complied with
this requirement, Franklin, Lucas,
Cuyahoga, Hamilton and Mahoning.
Allen county has let the contract for
a hospital. DR.. G. o. Probst, secre-
tary of the state board of health,
who was largely instrumental in se-
curing the passage of the law, favor
ing amending it SO that several coun-
ties in contiguous territory may COM
bine and erect one institution in
which all their patients may be treat.
ed. He thinks that this plan would
be cheaper and also better results
would be obtained.

Attractions At Valentine Theatre, To-
ledo, Week of January 25th.

ledo, Week of January 25th.
Lillian Russell in a new racing
comedy, "Wildfire," by George Broad
hurst and George v. Hobart, is the
attraction at the Valentine Theatre,
Toledo, Friday and Saturday even
ings, January 29-30th., with matinee
on Saturday. The comedy has been
well received everywhere it has been
played. RiIElW
The play takes it's title from race
horse, "Wildfire," left to the heroine
by her late husband. For various
reasons, important among which is
the engagement of her sister to the
son of reformer, she must not let
it be known that she is the real
owner of a racing stable, and from
this ensues the complications. An
excellent company of players sur
rounds Miss Russell. Among it's
members are Boyd Putnam, Will
Archie, Herbert Corthell, Hugo Toll
and and Annie Buckley. The scenes
OF the play are laid at Hampstead,
Long Island, and in the trainers
quarters of metropolitan race track.
The inimitable and unique George
Sidney, that comical caturist and fun

exploiting of this clever fun-makers
peculiar and popular comedy eccen-
tricities. Without considering the
big clever company that surrounds
him, George Sidney himself holds a
magnetic relation to the public, un-
like that of any other fun-maker.

prizes to the farmers Of Williams.

The prizes are $35 for the best yield
on one acre; $40 for the second best
yield and SIS for the third. There
are nc requirements as to methods
of preparing land. fertiliziug or cul-
tivating. Each one will be free to fol-
low his own plan. The prizes are
small, but it is hoped that offering
these. prizes will stimulate the people
to endeavor to raise more corn and
less cotton. They are depending too
much upon Western barns and hay
mows.
The Bank of Sumter and the Bank
of Lake City haye set good example
to stimulate corn farming on the in.
tensive system by offering prizes for
the greatest yield. We have three
enterprising banks here and have the
county and up.to-date farmers to
compete with any in the State. We

STO CORN CONTESTS.
The Same Acre Nay Be Entered for
State and County Contests.

Commissioner Watson has issued
an important announcement con-
cerning the State corn contest, in
which interest is growing every day.
There have been inquiries at his
Office as to the rules which have been
printed in pamphlet form and will
be mailed to any one wishing to en-
ter. There has also been some con-
fusion as to the right of a contestant
10 enter not only the State contest
but the private contests instituted
by county farmers unions, banks
and other organizations that see the
value in planting large crops Of
corn. Mr. Watson exg>';ns that the
State corn contest is o N to every
farmer in the State ant hat he can
enter any Of the other contests. The
planter can also enter the one-acre
contest on the five-scre plot selected
for the five.scre contest, provided a
separate record is kept of the one.
acre results.
Mr. Watson's statement is as fol-
lows:
Throughout the State county
contests in the growing of corn,
some under the auspices of banks,
some under the control of farmers
unions, etc., have been undertaken
for the year 1909. The majority
who are entering these contests DO
not know that they can at the same
time enter the State contest and that
it will cost nothing. They simply
have to write to me making their
entry for either the one or the five
acre contest and ask for the manual,
which gives all rules and regulations,
and in which the record of the crop
must be kept.
In making entries for both, the
have the right to. use
one acre of the five for the one-acre
contest, provided its record is kept
separate from its record in connec-
ton with the other four acres for
the 6ye-acre contest. This requires,
of course, a one-acre measurement
in fve-acre field aud necessitates
the keeping of two manual records.
There has been some confusion IN
regard to this feature, and hence
this announcement which, l trust,
is sufficiently clear.
"I hope all those who are IN
county contests will enter the State
contest. The entries are coming in
rapidly, and today there are more
entries on the books by five times
than we have ever had before. This
is gratifying and reveals lively in.

presaging large 1909 corn crop"

Harpers, April II Your cor
respondent wishes to at least
make the attempt to explain
himself in reference to your head
lines to the article written from
Harpers last week. The writer
does not think the sale OF whis-
ky wrong because the right of
sale IS not allowed to all towns
in the county, but he does think
circumstances alter cases.
Where small towns and commu.
mites must suffer from the illicit
sale of whisky and have the
great annoyance of drunkenness
those communities would be bet
ter off to have the whisky sold
according to Law and obtain a
revenue to fight Illicit selling of
ruu. The writer believes in
State. wide prohibition with de-
tectives to enforce the law. As
it now stands there is no one
paid to enforce the whisky law
in those parts of the county
where there are no dispensaries,
neither is there any revenue to
lbe applied to the enforcement
of the law. These are my views
as nearly as I can express them.
