JAPAN JOINS FRACAS.
Declares War on Germany, and Or
der> Aggressive Campaign.

Toxic. Aug. 23.-The Emperor OF
Japan today declared war on Ger
many. This action was taken at the
expiration of the time limit of Japan S
ultimatum to Germany demanding
the surrender of kiao-Chow. The
Japanese government has ordered
the beginning of operations on land
and sea.
The imperial rescript declaring
war on Germany was issued this
evening. 1t officially inaugurates
hostilities in the far East as result
of Germany's failure to reply to the
japanese ultimatum.
The proclamation of the emperor
sent a thrill through the country. ia
pans entrance upon the fulfllment
of her obligations to her ally. Great
Britain, responded to the popular
will from one end of the land to the
other. Cheering crowds assembled
today before public buildings and to-
night there were lantern professions
through the streets. The popular
manifestations however. do not ap-
proach the enthusiasm which preced-
ed the war with Russia.
Count Won Rex, the German am
bassador. has been handed his pass
ports. He probably will leave for
America. George W. Guthrie, the
American ambassador, will represent
Germany. The Diet has been con-
voked in special session for Septem-
Der $.
The Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Eli
zabeth, which laterly was at Using
Tau. the seaport of kiao-Chow, is
reported to have sailed. She perhaps
will 60 to neutral ports and disarm.
It is believed this action will keep
Austria out of the war in the Orient,
although unforeseen circumstances
may force Japan to change this poll
cv no action has been taken relative
to Austria and the foreign office has
explained that Japan will remain
friendly unless Austria adopts an at
titude which it regards as offensive.
1t is reported here that Germany
has been trying to transfer the Ger
man railroad in Shan-Tung, China,
to America.
Toxic believes, however, that the
United States, pursuing the policy OF
neutrality outlined by President Will
son, will not accept. President Will
sons announcement of neutrality has
greatly pleased the Japanese.

THE FIRST CUP OF TEA.
Pretty Legend OF How Tea Was Orig
inally Used as Il Drink.

The Chinese claim TO be the first
users OF tea as a drink. and how ii
originated is told in a pretty little
legend that dates from 1000 years
before the coming of Christ, says
Tit Bits.
A daughter of then reigning SOW
ereign fell in love with young noble
man whose humble birth excluded
him from marrying her. They man
aged to exchange glances, and he oc-
casionally gathered few blossoms
and had them conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
lovers met, and the young man en-
deavored to give her a few flowers;
but 50 keen was the watchfulness of
her attendants that all she could
grasp was a little twig with green
leaves.
On reaching her room she put the
twig in water, and towards evening
she drank the water in which the
twig had been kept. So agreeable
was the taste that she even ate the
leaves and stalks. Every day after
wards she had punches of the tea
tree brought to her, which she treat
ed in the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form
of flattery, the ladies of the court
tried the experiment. and with such
pleasing results that the custom
spread throughout the kingdom-and
the great Chinese tea industry be-
came one of the greatest businesses
in the world.

Getting Even.

That advice in law applied in an
unprofessional way is sometimes as
effective as regular court procedure
is illustrated by story that Joseph
A. Willard used to tell embodyins
an incident that occurred almost half
a century ago.
Mr.. Willard was in friends law
office one day when client came in
for advice. He said he had hired a
horse to go to a neighboring town
for a dollar, but when he had return
ed the liveryman asked for dollar
more.
"What for?" the client had asked
For the ride back"
The lawyer gave some instructions
which the client followed. A little
later he went to the liveryman and
asked how much it would cost to hire
a horse to go to Salem.
Five dollars" was the reply.
The client hired the team and wen,
to Salem. When he returned he
came on the cars. He went to the
stable and paid the keeper five dol
lars.
where is my horse and carriage?
asked the owner.
"In Salem" was the unconcerneo
reply.

Sonora, has been placed in jail by the
Mexican authorities, according to as

Her Hobbies.

Gwendolen. when we were wed,
In her artless manner said,
Dear, I think Id better
Choose a hobby. lest I find
Household duties cramp, the mind.
Foolishly, l let her.
Books at first were her delight;
Gwendolen grew erudite;
Vain were my petitions,
Till in scientific terms
l dilated on the germs
Haunting first editions.
Then, for one expensive week,
China guaranteed antique)-
Derby, Sevres and Lustre-
Charmed her, till our Abigail
Washed them in a kitchen pail.
Dried them with a duster!
Foreign stamps her time engrossed
For a busy month, at most;
l endured-and waited.
Who so proud as Gwendolen
Of each gummy specimen
Till the craze abated?
Later (if l seem severe,
Gwendolen, forgive me, dearD
Art proved all-compelling;
Post-Impressionist, indeed,
Were the color schemes decreed
For our modest dwelling.
With her last experiment
Gwendolen appears content;
Heaven grant she may be!
For of all the hobbies run
BY my wife, there isn't one
Suits her like baby.

FAILURE TO PROVIDE
FOR AGENT ILLEGAL
County Council Finds Law
Requiring Appropriation
for Agricultural Expert.

Failure of the county council to ap-
prove the $1,000 appropriation placed
in the original budget before presenta-
ton, has brought the charge that the
council acted in direct opposition to
the decision of the supreme court of
on the county agent law on July /,
declaring it constitutional as 1t stands
on the state records.
This has since been explained by
the councilmen, who say they knew
nothing of the supreme court decision
at the time. Their motive in not ap'
proving the $1,000 appropriation was
not to prevent the hiring of county
agent, as the intention of appropriatins
funds later if an agent was secured
was expressed at the budget meeting
The supreme court ruled agains,
the Vanderberg circuit court and other
circuit courts of the state in declar
ing the phrase shall appropriate an
nually the sum of $500 to be used in
paying the salary and other expenses
of said county agent" is constitutional
ly construed as it reads.
| Under the decision of the supreme
court the county council Of Wayne
county would be compelled to make
the appropriation this year, although
there is no county agent.
Although the council has not me
since the mistake has been. revealed
it is probable that the money will
be appropriated unless farmers OF
others actively interested in agricul
ture mandate the body to carry GU
the law without the agent in sight.

who must receive it before registration day.
When this application is filed with the registra-
ton board two voters of the precinct must take
cath that the registration is true.
There will be only one day of registration this

A Bows First Circus

For at least one Richmond boy this was red
letter day in his young life He attended his first
circus. 1t was the opening of Alladin's magic
box for him and the wonders which confronted
his dazzled eyes so hypnotized him that he sue
ceeded in asking his father only million
questions
Boyhood is replete with wonderful experience
es, but none quite equals that first time you VEN
tured into the canvas-covered magic land, clutch
ing tightly fathers hand to timdly feed peanuts
to the elephants, scream with laughter at the
antics of the clowns and monkeys, gaze awe
stricken at the trapeze performers and try your
level best to absorb with two eyes all the glories
of the four rings.
Truly the first circus is the premier event of
boyhood, and what father fails to share his
sons rapturous joy on this never-to-be-f forgotten
occasion!
The circus will be gone tomorrow, but it's in
fluence will be of longer duration. There will be
back yard and barn shows galore, the universal
price of admission being paltry ten pins. A
few broken legs or arms of daring juvenile imi
tators of the bespangled "artists" who fascinated
them may also mark it's passing.

Registration Facts

There are we'll founded objections to various
provisions of the revised registration law of
Indiana, but the fact remains that any citizen to
qualify himself as voter in November must
comply with the law
Registration of the voters will take place on
October and it is we'll that all voters should be
familiar with this section of the registration
law:
AT the session of the board of registration
every male person who at the time resides in the
precinct in which he applies for registration, and
who will be of the age of Fl years upwards at
the next ensuing November election and is a
citizen of the United States, if not citizen
of the United States, who, if he continues to re-
side in the precinct until the following Novenl-
Der election will at that time have resided in the
state of Indiana during the six months and in
the United States during the one year Immediate
y preceding such election, and who shall have
resided in the township sixty days and in the
ward or precinct thirty days before such election,
if he continues to reside in such precinct until
such election, shall be entitled, upon proper ap-
plication, to be registered in such precinct. No
other person nor persons shall be entitled to be
so registered Nothing in this act shall be con-
strued as qualifying attempting to qualify
any person to vote at any election, who, even
though registered did not be so qualified il
there were no registration act in force in this
state; the purpose of this act being to provide
for and require registration in addition to the
