Back to the Farm.

Back to the farm" Is the slogan
OF the first women's land congress
ever held in the country, which on
yened at Arcadia with Mrs. John A.
Curran in the chair. The congress
was held under the auspices Of the
Woman's Missouri Home Development
company, an organization which was
formed last January for the purpose OF
cooperating with the governor and
other officials for the development Of
state resources, and inducing people
to settle on the unoccupied land In the
state, for there are more than 10000
900 acres which have never been
touched. Arcadia Is one Of the most
picturesque spots in the state, and a
tent city was erected for the accommo-
dalton of the delegates. The unique
feature Of this convention or congress
is the agricultural exhibit shown In
the fields. Instead of putting fruits
and vegetables in glass ars and bot
ties and standing them in rows on
tables, or tying the grain in wisps
and stacking it in the corner Of some
exhibition hall, the delegates were
taken over the country to see the
products. They drove owe ideal
country roads, saw the picturesque
herds Of Angora goats, the Missouri
mule in his native habitat, the sleek
cows driven home at milking time by
the little Arcadian maiden and the
ranches. which are pastoral idyls
worthy the brush of a great artist.
OF equal interest with the argricul-
tural exhibits shown at Arcadia was
the exhibit of the loom industries. The
women ransacked the district for rag
rugs and women "kivers" made by
the early women settlers.

TOXIC PRESS TAKES UP FOR
MER SEC. SHAW'S SPEECH
LABOR COUNCIL SAID TO HAVE
STARTED SCARE
Knox, in Official Statement, Says Not
the Slightest Likelihood of
Trouble with Japan
Exists
Associated PressI

TOXIC, Feb. 24.-Special dispatches
to the newspapers from the United
States report recrudescence of the
anti-Japanese movement at San Fran
cisco. Today all of the local papers
featured the speech of Leslie M. Shaw,
former secretary of the treasury, in
which he is reported as having said
that war between the United States
and Japan was inevitable.
The speech has caused most
gloomy impression among Japanese
and foreigners alike. The specials
quoted Major General ]. Franklin Bell
as having said that war between the
two countries was likely to break out
at any moment. The press and the
public are puzzled.
The Asahi Shimbun and the Jill
Shimpo print long specials from San
Francisco quoting Mr.. ShaW's speech
at Morristown, N. j., on last Tuesday.
The papers remark the coincidence in
the receipt of these dispatches at a
time when preparations are being
made at Yokohama and in this city for
a reception to the 700 Americans
aboard the steamer Cleveland, due at
Yokohama tomorrow.
Editorially the papers repudiate the
suggestion that Japan is seeking con-
troll of the Pacific and declare that
American competition will be well
coined.

LABOR COUNCIL SAID TO HAVE
SPREAD AGITATION IN WARNING

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24.-While
there has been nothing in the nature
of a renewed anti-Japanese movement
in this city or state, the special dis
patches from San Francisco mentioned
as having been received in Toxic are
believed to have been inspired by the
action of tie labor council last Friday
in adopting a resolution advising all
unions mot to unionize or permit their
members to work in houses where or1-
entail labor is employed" The adop-
ton of the resolution followed dis
cussion of the proposed boycott against
saloons where Chinese and japanese
help is employed and the action was
designed to extend the scope of the
movement to embrace all houses en-
ploying orientals. 1t received consid-
erable publicity at the time as an
"antf-Asiatic' movement, but the

In addition to this the Anti-Asiatic
league is endeavoring to secure assur-
ances that Asiatics will not be en-
ployed by the Panama-Pacific exposi-
ton directors.

Secretary Knox to the Associated
Press. The secretary of state expressed
great surprise that notice should be
taken of trifles. Sc -retary Knox con-
tinued
"Mr. Shaw's speech was obviously
nothing but an argument for ship sub
sidy and what General Bell said made
no reference to trouble in the far east
and was quite evidently an ordinary
argument for increased appropriations

TOXIC, Saturday, Jan. 29.-Viscount

haps the most outspoken opponent of

who have given public utterance to
their opinions.
Viscount Some states he insisted that

he says, as a permanent institution, be-

maintainance of a strong hand, which
once relaxed is followed by revolt.
Viscount Some says the dislike OF
Koreans for Japan is not natural, but
has been handed down from generation
to generation until the people have be-
come mistakably imbued with the
idea that Japan is their enemy. For
this Japan herself is partly to blame,
and it must be the part of the Japanese
to demonstrate the opposite.
