High Cost Of Living In Japan.

According to an article in Osaka

while the purchasing value of the cur
rency has sensibly declined Taking
the average rate Of prices in Janu-
ary, 1857, at 100 and the value Of the
currency at the same time at 100, the
rate of prices in 1910 would be 22S

of Japan
Another table published by the
same banks shows that the advance
in the prices of imported goods has
been comparatively small. while the
rise In the price of goods produced
for the home market and for export
has been greater. Compared with
the advance in prices in other coun.
tries the Japanese rate of advance
has been about per cent. greater
than that in London and New York

City May Lose Normal.

Bowling Green is in the midst Of a
fresh crop of troubles and complica-

Northwestern Chic Normal school.
Kent and Bowling Green were Sc

school sites. Private money procured
and gave to the state the Kent site,
and the institution there is taking
shape rapidly.
Attorney General Hogan has dis
approved the transaction giving the
state site for state normal school
at Bowling Green, because of flaw
in the methods pursued in securing
the deed.
He will not approve the deed unless
the 900 persons who signed the peti-
ton for the bond election by which
the $4,000 was authorized, will agree
to raise $45,O0O and deposit the
amount in the state treasury with
which to meet the bonds when they
mature Hogan says the use of the
SAC, 900 for the purchase Of the site
was unwarranted and that the money
should have been used for public i'm
provements, for which tie bonds were
issued.

Find Work for Convicts.

put to work next spring on the state
farm at Morgan station and another
band of the prisoners will be sent to

employment, according to plans of the
state board of administration which
have just been announced.
This will largely solve the problem
