JAP WAR is ALL BOSH
SAYS A RETURNED TRAVELLER

1.-THE war talk in connection with
japan is all nonsense" said A. j.
Heibert OF Milwaukee, a manufac-
turer of perfumes, who was here to-
day on business with DR.. A. B. See
I've. He is on his way home from
two months stay in Japan and
China where he has been placing
orders for perfumes. II met many
of the leading business men and they
laugh at 1t. They are friendly to
the United States. The yellow press
there like that here and some Hob
sons keep bowling for war but the
people who run the government
know better. In the first place the
country has no money. It owes
something like a billion and and a
half dollars, all the country is worth,
as the result of its last wars. It's
taxes now are nearly % per cent of
the gross income of its people. It's
people cannot finance war--and
would not know what to do with II
If they had one.
"a great deal of American goods
is sold in Japan and China. Many
American manufacturers have agen-
cies there. If China ever gets set
tied down to a solid government II
will be great market for our goods,
Our business is growing therefor
! the flowers of the orient do not fur
nish perfume. We get our raw ma
terials mostly from Bulgaria and the
war has cost us thousands of dol
lars. The new tariff also hits us.
The present tariff law lets in our
materials free; the new law places
IA tariff of about rs per cent on 1t.
We shall simply pass on the extra
to the customer-that's all.
Milwaukee is getting tired Of the
phrase about its being made famous
by beer. We have single iron fac
tories and other. concerns that do
more business than all the breweries
put together-but suppose we shall
have to stand it. However, 1t is some
city and all the breweries could
move out without disturbing its pros
perity."

FARMERS EXPECT A GOOD
CROP OF ALFALFA SEED

An excellent crop of alfalfa seed
will partly compensate Dickinson
county farmers for the loss of a
corn crop.
Nearly thirty thousand acres are
sown to alfalfa in Dickinson county
and the majority of the farmers are
letting the second crop stand for
seed. The dry hot weather Of the
past few weeks is. favorable to the
proper ripening of the seed, and a
good yield is expected. Cutting will
begin soon.
The seed is worth seven or eight
dollars a bushel, and two years ago,
when similar weather conditions ex-
listed, some fields made as high as
seven and eight bushels to the'aere.

The most unique mountAin-en
route vehicle that has passed over
the Golden Belt road since its es-
tablishment passed thru Goodland
day or SO ago. 1t was an old style
motor car from which the engine
had been removed and the steering
apparatus had been disconnected. A
tongue had been attached and a
team of mules was hitched to the
car. The man, who refused to give
his name or his place of residence,
was on his way to the mountains
with his family. He declared /, he
had had no engine troubles, tire trou-
bles or wire difficulties, but that he
climbed all hills and went through
the mud where found with perfect
ease. The motor car was apparently
ready for the scrap heap, but the
driver, apparently, was in posi-
ton to own and drive a car of the
latest pattern, but chose this uni
que manner of travelling for the nov

COUNT OF

(Written for the uni1ed Press.)
Washington, April 8 9-Nothing to
do but count money Weigh great
sacks Of gold, paw over great bundles
Of bonds check up on notes. This
may appeal to the chap who can figure
out his whole fortune on the fingers
Of his left hand, but it is proving
bore to the employees Of the United
States treasury department who are
slaying to give Carmi Thompson
clean bill and let John Burke assume
the treasurership OF the United States
with every penny Of Uncle Sans
funds accounted for.
The quadrennial count which be-
gan several DAYS ago, is a task which
would take a single man, counting
dollar BY dollar, some 800 years to
finish. For there is a billion and a
half in the vaults. the biggest surplus
known in the history OF the nation.
During the count, not a cent OF the
money will leave the vaults. Secre-
4 tary of the Treasury AcAdoo appoint
ed committee OF employees to seal
up the strong rooms, saving out
enough money to meet current eX-
( penses, and until the counters offle-
4 tally began, the seals were unbrokeu.
Armed guards stand over the work
men to see that they are not modest
i ed and to guard against mistakes. +
/ Some twenty years ago a workman
made a mistake putting slugs OF
t lead in several sacks Of silver It took
( months to figure out the shortage, the
count having practically to be done
over.
As it would be Impossible for the
count to be made dollar for dollar in-
side Of many years, the counters are
working on the weight basis. Sacks
of gold and silver containing $1,000
are carefully weighed and used as d
+ standard By these. the rest of the
money similarly sacked is weighed
on scales that register almost to a
hair. Thus. it is expected that the
task will be completed in about two
months. After all is verified Mr..

/ fioially to Mr.. Burke. take a receipt
