FARM LABOR PROBLEM.
Michigan Man Taking Census
to Aid In Colonization,

Lansing, Mich.-Labor Commissioners
James Cunningham has started what
he thinks will result in the taking Of a
complete census Of Michigan farm
hands. d." 49,. y
He is sending out blanks to every
supervisor with the request that they
be filed out and returned. The blanks
ask for the number of farm hands
employed by the month. the average
number Of months they are employed,
the average monthly wages, the num-
Der Of farms operated by tenants and
whether or not there is a scarcity of
farm help in the district. Some Of the
supervisors close to Lansing have al
ready answered, -. ..|.. ~
I'VE hope if possible to get some
data by which we may be able to start
sort of colonization system which
may eventually relieve the farm labor
market.
$50 far we have found that day farm
labor is what is scarce On the other
hand, we have reports from some Sec
farms-large ones-which are only par
TALLY cultivated.
'Our plan is to>have the owners of
those large farms cut them up into
small parts and put on them Hun
garians and other foreigners who are
natural born farmers Give them space
enough to live on and raise enough
for their own needs and at the same
time guarantee them certain amount
Of day work in the vicinity. We think
In this way we can relieve the prob

minds which would be able to grasp
the problems of diplomacy as well as
those of the law.
Consequently he selected two men
who so far in their careers have ad-
vanced solely on their own merits as
lawyers Of extraordinary ability and
men OF unusual poise. One of them
has arisen to the highest pinnacle of
his profession. a position on the su-
preme bench Of the United States. The
other is considered by a majority of
the members Of the supreme court to
be the ablest lawyer practicing before
that tribunal.
One Of them, Joseph Rucker Lamar.
associate judge of the United States
supreme court. is Georgian by birth.
a southerner of southerners and a
member Of one Of the most distinguish
ed families in the country-a family
which has given many strong men to
public life. The other is native of
Prussia. who came to this country as
child and spent his early life in
Iowa. Catching him when he was
young. the great middle west put it's
stamp on him forever. and any one
would now recognize Frederick Will
liam Lehman as a typical citizen of
that section Of the country.
As in their origin Uncle Sans two
representatives at the Niagara confer
ence are totally dissimilar, so are they
utterly unlike in personal appearance.
Justice Lamar is tall, angular and aus
tere looking Mr.. Lehman is short.
stocky and extremely jovial looking.
The dissimilarity between the two men
really ends with their origin and early
training. for, while their outward an
pearance indicates that they are differ
ent in nature and general makeup. the
fact is that their natures are really
quite similar. -s-.. \
Mr.. Lehman indicates in every
movement and expression that he is
genial. good tempered and fond Of the
society of his fellow men. Justice La
mar is the same sort of man. bat does
not look it. Both are full of life and
devoted to social intercourse.
In the matter Of their work and their
careers they have reached the same
point by different routes. Although one
of the youngest members Of the SUI
preme court. Justice Lamar is noted
FOR the lucidity Of his opinions, the
depth of his thought and the literary
style with which he writes m looal
topics. Mr.. Lehman is noted for his
clarity of thought, the almost tender
care with which he prepares q case
and the masterfui manner in which he
presents 1t before the higher judicial
tribunals Of the country.

Il have made careful study of the

and in my report to my government

but one way to settle the differences
between the United States and japan

Is by granting citizenship to the Japa-

Japan will show her friendship for
the United States by not pressing the
California matter until the Mexican
question is settled The Japanese gov
eminent is of the opinion that the Cali
forn1a question is a matter entirely
within the jurisdiction Of the federal
government and should be settled in
Washington.
The Japanese in California are now
IN very bad way. and the people Of
California do not care what becomes
OF them. By giving them citizenship
ana vote the tension would be re-
heved. Japan has nothing to gain by
going to war with the United States
and personally do not think that q
conflict between the nations will occur
"As to Mexico. there are a number Of
Japanese who have gone to that conn
try to engage in agricultural pursuits
but in my opinion 1t would be better
for them to go to Brazil or some other
country in South America. There ia
one thing certain-Japan will not med
die in the Mexican muddle."

ty1tVe ounces daily as compared with
the three pounds or more consumed BY
the average man. but it is believed it
represents the highest nutritive value
for polar travel.
Sir Ernest will be accompanied by
five members of his staff when he goes
to Norway to conduct experiments
with these rations and also test his
tents and motor sledges. The party
will don polar kit and travel among the
glaciers. While the cold will not be as
intense as in the polar. regions, the
country will furnish the same sort of
sudden billiards as are experienced in
the antarctic.
The party will test the effect and DO
tency Of the ratons in most detailed
fashion. Such an experiment never
has been made before.
Shackleton's new ship, the Endur-
ance, has been almost completely fitted
In Norway. The vessel is eighteen
feet longer than his last ship, Nimrod,
and is beautiful specimen of wooden
shipbuilding. 1t probably is the last
of It's class that will be constructed.
The whole keel is made Of solid oak
five and half feet thick, and the
sides are two feet thick. The vessel
belongs to the barkentine class and
has the latest triple expansion engines
and will steam at the rate Of ten
knots. .r. ,.- ~
The ship is fitted to consume both
oil and coal. When in the ice oil will
be substituted for coal, which will
mean economy if it is delayed in the
pack, as the boilers can be kept warm
and full heat generated quickly. When
the oil has been used the tanks will be
filed with water ballast. The Endur-
ance will take on 100 tons Of coal
briquettes at the South Shetland is
lands, SO it will enter the Weddell sea
with full bunkers.
The second ship, Aurora, intended for
the Ross sea side Of the expedition.

ADVOCATE new
Time RECKONING
Revised Calendar Would Cause
Easter to Fall on Fixed Date,

INSTRUMENTATION by the in
ternattonal calendar commission at the
meeting to be held in Berlin shortly
by the international Association OF
Academies include the adoption Of q
perpetual calendar and q fixed, un-
changeable date for Easter. The com
mission also advocates giving thirty.
one days to June and September. thir-
ty days to February and cutting down
other months. ~.. ~. .......... s..
The idea is to give to each month
an equal number of working days, and
1t has been so arranged that the first,
fifteenth or thirtieth of the month new
er falls on Sunday. So far as Easter
is concerned, the commission will take
no action unless it is sanctioned by
the religious authorities.
NJ. Lecointe, director of the Royal
Belgian conservatory. one of the men
interested, says the warmest partisans
OF the proposed reform are not ut0.
plans, but practical men. They are, he
says, f1nanciers and business men.
M. Lecointe recalled that at a meet
ing of chambers Of commerce the Ger
man delegates declared that German
commerce lost millions of francs when
Easter came in March. The two aca-
demic semesters, separated according
to universal custom by Easter, are de-
clared also to cause Inconvenience in
teaching, while spring vacations are
apt to come during bad weather when
Easter falls too soon.
AS to the actual division Of the year,
1t is true, say those interested, that
one is accustomed to the anomalies,
but that it is nevertheless highly de-
sirable to do away with them.
