AS an example Of the confidence that
real estate operators have in the an
ticipated activity Of suburban property,
particularly the waterfront property
around New York City, the recent open
ing announcement Of Shorelsnds (by
J. W. Doolittle3 stands out most
forcibly at this time. In the face Of a
comparatively slow summer market for
real estate this concrete evidence Of
belief In the absolute security and de-

looked upon rs indicating a return. 70

While a man of unusual force and scholarship he seems wholly unconscious of the fact.
 Concerning Mrs. Johnson we believe it would be difficult to praise her beyond her worth. She is loved and admired by all who know her. and those who know her best admire her most.
 Her sojourn here has been a blessing to the community. To the homes where sorrow had come and where bereavement had cast it's dark shadow, she promptly went. and her visits on such occasions have been likened by some to that of a messenger from the skies.
 She has been president of the Ladies Aid Society for more than six years, and. mainly through the efforts of this society the dilapidated old church building has been transformed into a thing of beauty. and to her efforts, largely, this success 5 lis due.
 While we bow to the circum- stances that bring about thu l |separation we at the same time record the community's loss. The above paper was unani- mously adopted on the above date by an unusually large con- lgregation.

Rev. Johnson Resigns Charge and is toLeave
 Holly Grove

Alta meeting of the member ship of the Presbyterian church. at Holly Grove. Ark. held in their place of worship, May IT, 1914, at which others than members of the church were present and participated in the proceedings, the following paper was adopted as an expression of their feelings on the occasion.
 WHEREAS the official relation of the Rev. c. w. Johnson to this church has been severed, and
 WHEREAS he expects soon to leave this community for another field of labor, we avail ourselves of this opportunity to express our estimate of him and his most excellent wife.
 MT. Johnson has been pastor of this church for six and half years. During this entire time his walk and conversation has been that of a dignified. upright and consecrated minister of the Gospel. He has been faithful in the discharge of his ministerial duties. The sick and the afflict- ed were sure of a visit from him if he had knowledge of the fact.
 Mir. Johnson is a man of rare scholarship and his mind is keenly logically. The church that has Mir. Johnson for it's pastor will have a man capable of fighting her battles against all forms of heresy and bigotry.

A LETTER FROM JAPAN
A Miss .C nary Known in Monroe County Writes In
 teresting Letter From the Sunrise Kingdom

turbed by these scandals the Empress Dowager took i'll at her detached palace at Numazu and died, coming so soon after the dea tn of the late emperor it caused quite a shock and cast a peculiar sorrow over all the people. She died in Numazu but her death was not announc ed until she reached Tokyo several days afterwards. It seems that those of the royalty should not have died away from the capital. Of course the news papers knew of it and hinted in their editorials but they were not allowed to publish the facts until ordered to do so by the proper authorities. I am sure however if Hurst had a line of papers over here he would had out several extras before the police could have stopped him.
 After the announcement a special period of mourning was ordered for three days when all noises closed, no music was allowed and public meetings closed. Then there is the general period of mourning until after the funeral.
 The death of the Empress Dowager works the passing of \ the old customs. The former emperor reigned m a transition al period. Old Japan has passed away and we are now in new Japan with her new freedom. Just to illustrate, the late emperor had his wife and also
 availed himself of his royal
 privilege to have twelve con- cubines. His wife, the empress. had no children and so the
 present emperor is a son by a concubine. The present emperor has done away with this custom and I understand that he has a
 beautiful home-life with the queen and three princes. This royal example will mean much for the moral lire of the nation. Now immortality is altogether to common.
 As I write an extra edition is out stating that Count Okuma has been persuaded to form a cabinet. He will have his trouble and a lot of it.
 Just a word about our work.
 Since the first of the year l have
 been very busy. have baptized three children of christian parents and four adults. We expect to have some protracted
 meetings next month. 1 referred ; to the church building 1 want to
 erect at Marugane in my last
 letter. Some friends have shown their sympathy in concrete way and l am now looking for a lot.
 I hope that we may soon be able Ito go on and build. Please remember we want your interest lin our work.
 ! am afraid that the editor is
 beginning to think that this Iletter is altogether too long and I must bid you good-by.
 Sincerely Yours s. M. Erickson.

Takamatst, Japan, May 10, 1914. Dear Argus Friends:

Takamatst, Japan, May 10, 1914. Dear Argus Friends:
 The kind editior by publishing my former letter has inspired me with the boldness to impose on his good nature again. Since my last letter was published Japan has beeil in constant political turmoil. A graft scandal' has been discovered in the Navy De- partment. Officials were getting rich on bribes received for put ting contracts with European naval firms at exorbitant prices. An English newspaper man got hold of some of the private correspondence that had passed between the naval official and the contracting firms. This cor |respondence was used by him to squeeze about $125. GOO hush money" from the German firm. This company, in order to get even had a man who had stolen the correspondence arrested in Germany and in this way the scandal reached Japan. As a result of the investigation, not yet completed. several admir- als and commanders are in jail awaiting trial.
 The newspapers who had it in for the ruling cabinet used this naval scandal to great effect in causing the downfall of the ministry. Since the cabinet resigned it has been impossible to get any one who is willing to take up the job of prime minister. A lot of good jobs are begging for men to fill them. It would not take long in America to find candidates, would it?
 Then too. the naval department once the idol of every Japanese patriot has fallen into the great est disgrace. Even parliament |cut the naval estimates for this year so much that the ships now building cannot be finished for lack of funds. At present no navy officer will assume a position in the cabinet unless assured that funds will be grant ed to go on with the present naval program. Some of the tax payers are hoping that this naval holiday" will continue.
 After the nation was stirred by the naval scandal. five high priests of the Shinshu sect of Buddhists were arrested for using $1OO, 600 of the temple funds for personal ends. The use that this money was put to would not look well in print. This is the only sect of Buddhists that permit the priests to marry but these fellows had their own families and maintained other establishments in extravagant style. All the money had been contributed by the poor people who have hardly enough on lon which to exist. They do not seem to be so shocked at the immoral conduct ofthe priests but they do feel theloss of their gifts.
 Just as the nation was dis
