There is nothing but the best feelings
and sentiments of friendship in Japan
toward America, according to J. K. Yag-

the Arlington yesterday.
1T is very distressing to the japanese
people to read in American press dis
patches that even prominent men are
preaching from the lecture platform that
war between the United States and Japan
is inevitable. So far as we are concerned.
Japan does not want war with America.
America must answer for herself. All
that Japan can do is to work hard 10 get
rid of her debts. We have neither time
nor the necessary money to embark in
another war The only war that We
have entered upon is that OF trying TO
capture new commercial fields for Japa-
nese manufactures and products. Our
population is growing very fast, and we
must provide employment as well as
bread for them. And that we can do by
creating new markets for their products
And am glad to say that we are fairly
successful in our efforts.
Japan sees in the United States her
best friend. and we regard this war talk
on the part of American citizens with
deep disappointment and pain. We owe

EARLE STUBBLEFIfLD
RECEIVES NICE LETTER
State President Of Boys Corn
Club Writes to winner OF
First Prize

State Chairman of the Boys
Corn Club of Randolph county,
Geo. B. Cook, sent the following
complimentary letter to Earle Stub
blefeld of Dalton, winner Of first
prize in the boys corn club contest.
The letter follows:
Master Earle Stubbleield,
Dalton, Arkansas. /.
Ny Dear young friend;
In writing to you this word of ex-
planation and encouragement, per-
nit me to, first, pr ess to
you the praise of the Arkansas
Bankers Association, which has
given the valuable prize for rails
ing the best single ear of corn in
the state of Arkansas, by a men,
Der of the Boys Corn Club. Also
wisA to compliment you in the
highest terms for the splendid ac-
complishment as a result of your
honest work and faithful service.
Thousands of citizens have heard
of your honest work ana all are
proud of you and now expect you
to go on and on and make good,
throughout long and useful life
Just as you have started. We,
your many friends, believe you have
the energy and honest character to
fulfill our expectations.
"Thls prize of $4,000 in cash
was offered by resolution of the
Arkansas Bankers Association, as
the result of bringing to the knowl-
edge of this association the work of
the Boys Corn Club by II. 5.
Mobley, special agent, for Arkan-
sas. of the United States Depart
ments of Agriculture.
"The resolution provided that
the boy, who was so fortunate as
to win this prize, should have the
fullest value of it and provided that
it should be used in giving him a
scholarship for two years in the
Agriculture school for his district,
Pocahontas star herald., 1910-11-11

and that this money be held In
trust for him for this special pur'
pose.
"This cheJk has been placed in
my hands by the Bankers and is
now yours to all intents and pur-
poses.
"It will be forwarded to you
in monthly installments, upon the
order of the principal of your
school, to meet your needs.
"In the meantime the money
not spent will draw interest and
whatever is left over, if any, when
your two years schooling are over,
will be yours to use as you see
best. 1t is possibly unfortunate that
the State Fair prize list did not
clearly explain just how this money
should be used aud how the DON
ors provided for its use, but be-
lieve you will agree with your
many friends that it could be ex-
pended in no way that would mean
so much as to make you the holder
of a 100000 Honor scholarship at
your Agriculture school. 7 h e
knowledge that you gain there is
yours and no one can take it from
you through life and you will find
it the most profitable investment
that will ever be yours, if you do
your duty at school as | am sure
you will do.
"With the kindest regards anl
best wishes for your continued sue
cess and hoping that the best boy
farmer in Arkansas in 1910, may
become in the future years one of
the best and most influential of the
State.
Sincerely your friend,
GEo. B. Cook,
Chairman Boys Corn Club"

TEMPE DEPARTMENT

1 Women are inclined to fall into
 a mistaken idea that any pain about the hips or in the small of the back l is female weakness. and must be
 endured as' q trouble peculiar to the sex
 Such patience is noble, but too of ten unnecessary and unwise. Kidney weakness, in man or wo- man, will cause backache. sharp , twinses when stepping or lifting,
 bearing down pains. fits of blues" nervousness, dizzy spells, headaches. urinary disorders and swelling of the ankles or limbs.
 This is the point: Do not worry over supposed female weakness until you are very sure it is not kidney disease that is causing your troubles. The nature of a woman'S life and work makes her fall an easy victim of kidney sickness. The bending and stooping of house work, the tight clothing worn. the strain of childbirth and worry of rearing children. the indoor life. colds. levers and consti patton, all wear and weaken the kid neyS.
 Backache, or any such irregularity as the too frequent desire to urinate. painful or scaldns passages or sed- iment in the urine is good cause to judge that you have weak kidneys.

MISSOURI HORSES FOR NEW

 There Is nothing so eXacting about these horses that makes one section of the country superior to any other for their production. and the fact that up to this time this state has furnished them is more of tribute to Missouri breeders enterprise than to any spec ial advantage possessed by that state for the production of satisfactory horses for this service.
 These horses. which have acquired an almost world wide reputation. are reuired to be bays. with black names and tails. and to be about sixteen hands high.
