Just HfoIka.O

People in the west are more "folksy''
than we of the east. We note as an
instance of this that a day or two
after the Inauguration ceremonies in
the state capitol of Iowa, at Des
Moines, last week, reception was
given there which was participated in
by the legislators and their wives,
and the state officers and wives. The
decorations for the two occasions were
the same. In this way the Iowa wives
were given some share in that &C.
quaintance which comes to the legis.
lators by virtue Of their office, and
these social occasions are the means
of starting friendships that last

to hear a number express themselves
as in favor of offering the inducement
of long time loans at low rate for
the encouragement of manufacturing
enterprises. Mr.. Voss and Mr.. Naeve
expressed themselves as greatly in
favor of the idea and Mr.. Ferguson
thought the only amendment should
be that no interest should be charged.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

We are pleased to note the contin-
ued activity of the Denison CONNER
cial club. 1t now numbers more than
one hundred members and at each
meeting matters are not only dis
cussed, but acted upon.
There seems to be general break
ing away from the idea that commit
tees are appointed from purely hon
orary standpoint and that no work is
expected of them. The committees
appointed have, as rule, been doing
good work and making helpful reports.
The meeting last Friday night was
one of the most helpful the club has
had. The committee appointed to Of
fer the services of the club to the
Denison creamery developed the fact
that this institution is doing ire
mendOus volume of business and that
last year it paid to the farmers of this
immediate vicinity nearly one hundred
thousand dollars for cream. The
founders of the old creamery builded
better than they knew. Individually,
they lost the greater part OF the few
hundred dollars each invested, but
they made it possible for the estab-
lishment of great plant here which
is of utmost benefit to the farmers and
thus to the business men. The cream
cry employs seventeen men at Deni-
son besides three cream collectors liv
ing in Denison. The wages paid will
amount to considerable sum.
The Nicholson plant was also
brought up for consideration and
again our business men were surprised
and gratified to learn of the magnitude
of the business transacted. Nearly
a quarter of million dollars was
paid for produce by the plant last
year. The wages paid were twelve
thousand dollars and very large pro-
portion of the amount paid for pro-
duce went into the hands of farmers
of this vicinity. The proposition was
made to subscribe $4,000 additional
stock in this community for the cree
tioa of an enlargement where the
pasteurization of milk will be under
taken, the manufacture of ice cream
in a wholesale way established and
finer grades of creamery butter be
made This will add the element of
competition for milk products and will
be still more beneficial to farmers and
merchants. From the past history of
the company it may well be judged
that the investment would be both
safe and profitable and we believe
there will be no difficulty in securing
the additional capital needed. Surely
o company that has invested $4,000
in Denison should be encouraged.
The matter of securing spur to
the Denison brick yard and of the en-
largement and incorporating the Fast
lie Furniture factory were also dis
cussed.
A move was made to establish some
guidance and direction to public char
tiles for out of town solicitors.
All these matters are of practical
importance to Denison. None of the
plans are visionary. All are within
our reach. We were greatly pleased

JAPANESE WIVES DIPLOMATS
Though Not Especially Beautiful,
They Are Gentle and Lovable and
Know How to Handle Men.

A Japanese wife is more than a
wife. She is an artist, says Adachi
Kinnosuke, in the Delineator. She
is an artist in that most difficult of
arts-and the most needful-the art
of handling men. 1t is the consuming
ambition of her life. for it and In 1t
she lives.
The woman of Nippon is not nota-
bly, attractive in either face or fig
ure. She suffers a severe handicap
in comparison with English and
American women. Therefore she does
the next best thing-she displays
policy. l believe your word for 1t is
tact.
OF the woman of Japan Is one, just
one, opinion among her judges-es-
pecially among her foreign critics:
AS wife, she Is all gentleness and
lovable. This is quite remarkable,
coming from men the world around.
Whatever may be their criticisms on
other things, they are all praise for
the Japanese woman as wife. There
are more reasons than one.
In the first place, she is past mis-
tress in the art Of commanding men,
only in her case it is no longer an art
1t is second nature with her. The
basic, elemental qualification Of a
great commander of men, east and
west, Is and always has been this
to know how to obey. Everybody
knows that Even Napoleon knew
that Greater than he who saw st.
Helena after seeing Austerlitz, the
Japanese woman acts out what she
knows-what she knows so we'll and
has known so long that she is no
longer even conscious of it.

If the jury doesn't return a verdict
to you, do you infer it was purchased,
