STORY TELLERs OF JAPAN.
Professionals Invent and Reclte Their
 Tales of Love.
From Tit-Bits.

From Tit-Bits
 Though the Japanese are a nation Of readers, says a traveller, they love also to listen to the tales of the professional story teller, who is quite an artist Tn ms way. The lower sort of story teller may be seen seated at the street corner with a circle of gaping coolies around nm. The higher class form guilds, who own special houses of entertainment called ''yose,n and may also be engaged by the hour to amuse private parties. Some story telling is rather in the nature of a sixpenny magazine. The man sits with an open book before him and expounds it and diates upon 1.-the story Of the "Forty-seven Ronin, perhaps, or the Chinese novel of The Three Kingdoms, or one of the old wars of the Gaira and Minamoto families in the Middle Ages. When he comes to some partlculariy good point he emphasizes it by rap with his fan or little slab of wocd kept by him for that purpose
 The Japanese professional story teller also inyents and recites If he doesl't earn his living by story telling he may not be admitted to the guild of 'yose." The story teller proper deals in love tale anecdotes and imaginary incidents. The entertainment afforded in .yose' Is generally mixed There will be war sto- ries love tales. recitations to the accom- paniment of the banjo-the same enter tainment being mostly adhered to for fortnight and change made on the 1st and 16th of the month As the number of such houses in every large city is con siderable, hearers may. nevertheless, have something new every night to listen to, and the higher class of story tellers themselves realize what, for Japan, is a very fair income.
 These paid professional story tellers drive about from one house of entertain ment to another. stopping only quar- ter of an hour at each-just time enough to tell one story and earn a dollar or two by the recital Some foreign students of the Japanese language have found the 'yose' their best school for study.

 The only man lost was Corpl. R. L. M. Donaldson of Aylmer, Ont. Cor poral Reeves, who, with Sergt. Dan McArthur and Constable Travers, made up the Pelletier party was with Don- aldson at the time. The two, with the Eskimo half-breed, were cruising from Cape Fullerton to Fort Churchill in an open 44-foot boat At Marble Isl- and they fell in with a herd of 1000 walrus and Donaldson shot 10 of them.

MR.. BRYAN

AS a great Commoner in whose
purity of purpose men of all parties
have absolute confidence, William j.
Bryan has a great opportunity to
render service to his fellows. That
he will grasp this opportunity no
one will doubt. He will do it from
the lecture platform; he will do it
in newspaper interviews; but best of
all he will do it through his own
publication-The Commoner-a pa
per that is now steadily forging
to the front because through it's col
umns the American people may con-
tinually keep in touch with Mr..
Bryan's opinion upon public ques-
tions and with his efforts for the
public welfare.
Mr.. Bryan announces that he has
again assumed editorial charge of
The Commoner and that he will give
active, personal attention to the edi-
torial department.
Men of political parties have a
deep and abiding interest in the
fight which Mr.. Bryan is to wage
through the columns of The Com
moner. 1t is a fight for the public
welfare; a fight against the en-
croachment by special interests upon
the public interest; a fight for the
protection of the men who, in pro-
fessional office, on the farm, in
counting room or in workshop give
honest toll for their livelihood. 1t
is fight to preserve popular gov
ernment as the fathers founded it.
In the initial number of The Com
moner printed in 1901 Mr.. Bryan
said: The Commoner will be sat
isfed if, by fidelity to the people, it
proves its right to the name which
has been chosen" The Commoner
has proved its right to the name
and because it is giving this proof
in abundance The Commoner de-
serves the support of the American
people.
Feeling that wider circulation of
The Commoner in our section will
materially advance the democratic
cause and that large per cent. of
our readers, as well as others who
should be regular readers of our
paper, will take pleasure in helping
to increase The Commoner's in
fluence in this community, we have
made special arrangements with Mr..
Bryan whereby we can furnish The
Commoner and THE GRAHAM GUAR
DIAN at the exceptionally low rate
of 1925 for one year. This special
rate holds good for limited time
only. Orders should be sent direct
to this office.

HOMESTEADERS MUST LIVE
UPON LAND CLAIMED

To hold homestead claim, says
the Phoenix Gazette, one must
actually live upon the land, accord
ing to a decision handed down by
Charles E. Arnold, register of the
Arizona land office. Merely a night
spent upon the claim now and then
will not suffice. The homestead
must be the actual home of the
claimant.
The decision rendered by Register
Arnold is in the case of A. B. SAT-
ford VS.. Alex. Silva. Mr.. Silva a
year ago filed upon one-quarter of
section 26, township 8 north, range
2 west. Stafford claimed that Silva
had not made his residence upon
that homestead claim, though he
had built a small house and fenced
part of the land. His home was at
his ranch near Glendale, which is
one of the well-improved ranches
of the Salt River Valley. Though
he has even had his family at the
homestead several times, Stafford
claimed that Silva had no right to
the land, since, in reality, it was
not his home.
Register Arnold held that Stafford
was right. His decision is also
against the theory that the govern
ment does not demand actual resi-
dence upon a homestead if irri-
eating water cannot be secured for
the land. If irrigating water can
not be secured, the land should not
be homesteaded. 1t is still desert
land, which no one can desire for a
farm. A stop is therefore put to
the entrance of lands which may
some day be under irrigation, mere
ly as speculative venture.
The decision means great deal
to scores of homesteaders about the
Territory. Hundreds of homesteads
have been held in the hope that
some day canals will be dug and
water to irrigate them may be pur-
chased.

There is more Catarrh IN this
section of the country than all 9th,
er diseases put together, and until

be incurab BILE. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven it to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure manufactured by F. J.
Cheney Il Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from ten drops to teaspoon

ARIZONA WILL CELEBRATE
RAISING OF FLAG

| The place where the first Ameri
can flag was raised in Arizona is t
be marked with a tablet in com
memoration of the event by the Pic
neer's Historical Society. The frs
American flag was raised by tn
Mormon battalion under Philip st
George Cook, while on their wa,
Through Arizona to California, De
cember II, 1916, on what is now tn,
residence lot of l.. C. Hughes, il
Tucson, Arizona, but then the sit,
of the old fort, and connected t
| the drill grounds, which were wher,
the city plaza now is.
| This Mormon battalion consisted
of 500 men, and was recruited from
the Mormon immigrants who hac
been driven out of Nauvoo, ILL.,, anc
were coming west to settle. Sew
eral members of this battalion are
residents in the Gila Valley.
At that time this country was
owned by Mexico, and when the
Mexican troops learned of the Amer.
lean soldiers they retreated to San
Xavier. Upon their departure for
California, the Americans took the
wheat, of which the Mexicans had
considerable in store here, and left
a due bill in payment of the same,
which the Mexicans refused to ac-
cept, and forwarded it on to them
at Sacaton, the first point where the
old road struck the Gila River.
Upon the return of the Mexican
troops after the departure of the
Americans, the commander sent
word to their authorities in Mexico
to the effect that they had gained a
victory over the Americans and
driven them off the field. The
Americans, by the way, had no in
tention of stopping here, but were
headed for California, to which
point they proceeded without delay.
The occasion of the first flag rails
ing was the arrival of the American
troops under the command of Major
R. S. Ewell, afterward General
Ewell, of the Confederate forces,
after the Mexican forces had left in
fright, and the two standard bearers
were William H. Kirkland and Green
Rusk. Mr.. Kirkland is still alive,
but Mr.. Rusk was buried on the
22d of last month by the Pioneers.
Not only do the Pioneers intend
to erect tablet in commemoration
of the first flag raising in Arizona,
but they have another idea on foot.
The first printing press that came
to Arizona is at present in Tomb
stone, and the society is now en-
deavoring to obtain possession of
the press and have it brought to
Tucson, be held among the archives
of the society.

The Value of Good
Digestion
10 easy to figure if you know what your stomach
is worth. Kodol keeps the stomach at par value,
by insuring good digestion. Kodol cures Dyspepsia.

Kodol insures good digestion by
absolutely duplicating Natures
normal process, In perfectly digest
ing all food taken into the stom
ach.
While Kodol Is doing this, the
stomach is resting-and becoming
strong and healthy. A strong and
healthy stomach guarantees a
sound and active brain.
The man with a sound stomach
"a stomach that is doing for the
body Just what Nature intended
It to do-is the man who is always
prepared for any emergency. He
is "there with the goods"
The man with a sick stomach, is
q man sick all over. When the
stomach is irritated by undigested
food. the blood and heart are d.
rectly affected. Then dullness, un-
natural sleepiness, sick-headaches,
vertigo and fainting spells, and
even serious brain trouble develop.
Kodol will prevent these.
