Mrs. Jones and her young daughter,
Hazel, sailed for Japan in November,
1912. They were the guests at Yoko-
hama of the American consul and Mrs.
j. Sammons, and they remained In
Japan eight months. During that time
they saw the country and the Japanese
people as the conventional American
tourist does not see them. The cherry
blossom festivals afforded Mrs. Jones
the greatest delight, because, II she has
any hobby at all, 1t is her love of flow-

resides in Seattle. Their young daugh-

Cherry BOSOM time in JAPAN"
Mrs Wesley L. Jones, wife of Senator
Jones OF Washington, repeated after
her questioner. well, IL you have
pictured cherry blossoms in Japan to
be like those that used to bloom on
the gnarled old trees In your grand
mothers back yard, you are very much
mistaken. Maybe it will give you a
more definite idea of the rare beauty
of the cherry blossom festival in Japan
to know that these blossoms are often
as large as fine carnations. and that
they vary in color from the deep GRIM
son to the exquisite pink shades in
which these flowers are seen. The
most beautiful view l ever beheld was
when I stood last spring on a noun
tain road leading to the little inn at
Yoshino, in northern Japan. We look
ed down the mountain side upon thou
sands of cherry trees, their boughs
completely hidden beneath mass of
fragrant bloom.

daughter and / went to Yoshino last
spring to see the cherry blossoms.

r Fly little niece went to look at

brother volunteered to see II
she had made a mistake. and at once
assured us that she was six degrees

veranda, having constituted ourselves
a jury to decide which was right.
And, as my mother used to say,
Both were wrong, and both were right
And both were very impolite."
For my little niece had been looking
up at the thermometer from her three
feet, three, and big brother had been
looking down at the thermometer from
his five feet eight; and the truth was
somewhere between the two.
What a big difference the angle Of

its benefits will be felt in their entire

The reduction in the customs dues

hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of foreign goods shrewdly expecting to
profit from the reduction. These stocks

and the resulting money must seek
other Investments This may be termed
the gain or profit resulting from the
reduction.
But while one or more classes will
profit by the tariff, other classes will
lose. The reduction averaged about IS
per cent, or from A down to 26. Upon
articles of luxury such as diamonds,
ETC., the increase was much above the
leverage valuation: hence those well
stocked with such goods sell them at
much higher prices than heretofore,

kinds of merchandise the tariff infli IT'S
loss, therefore all owners of such
will lose. A dry goods dealer, for in
stance, who stocked up at high tariff
rates will manifestly lose. This has
forced and will for some time force
many into bankruptcy.
Eventually the readjustment will be
completed, those susceptible to gain as
well as those compelled to lose having
met the requirements or felt the result
of the new conditions.
Then with record crops and an ex-
panding currency based upon the
stablest values in existence-such as
farm lands and city real estate which
have not heretofore been generally
available as security for bank loans
