IN a Japanese School

In "a Wanderers Trano A r
Rodger, the author, says:
an Tokyo gained my living as an
English teacher. This task Of teach
ing English in japan is not yerv dif.
flcult one. 1t is, however. a rather fir.
ing occupation. The one qualification
necessary is tact. Discipline in Jana
nese schools is very lax. 1t is no ev.
aggeration to say that the student vir.
tually rules the school. His power ia
ridiculOusly great Should a class dis.
Ike a teacher they either boycott him
or they boldly proceed en- maSse TO the
school authorities and demand his dis.
missal. And the almost inevitable re-
suit Is the teachers dismissal! To the
authorities the only guaranty of the
efficiency Of a teacher is a full class
room. Needless to mention. l was an
efficient. for my class room was al
ways full. That is why I say the only
qualification needed was tact"

Wonderful Linen Brooches.

A. o. Bunnell OF Dansville has in his
possession a petition which was circu-

BEEF FEEDERS
 ID LIKEWISE
Organization of Cattlemen Along Lines Like Those of Hog Raisers; May Presage Immense Packing Plant Here Later

A movement that may presage the establishment Of q packing house in the valley, was the organization yes terday of the cattle feeders, at q meet ing ill the Commercial Hotel. Tempo rary officers, James Johnson, president and Ed. L. Shaw. secretary, were se- lected, and these men were made a committee on organization, to report in full at the next meeting or the cattle men Saturday, December Is at the Water Users.
 Primarily, the organization is along lines exactly like those of the Hog Raisers association, formed last week at the Chamber Of Commerce. But, behind the organization, some see the possibility of d company which, in some future tune will interest capital. or finance in some other way, q large packing plant. Until then, however. it will be the work Of the association to facilitate marketing of beef cattle. many thOusands or which are fattened in the alfalfa fields of the valley. It is the aim of the association to pro- vide marketing facilities 90 that. given high market at any particular point, the growers, large and small, can get together. throw in and ship out stock by the trainload, thus giving the ad- vantage of high prices and low trans portation rates.
 Members Of the association will visit the hog raisers at the latters' meeting the coming Wednesday. with the pur- pose of interesting them in g combine so that the meat producers of the val ley may all be represented in one pow erful organization.
 It is the aim Of the organizers to make the association open to all feed CTS of cattle, whether his fields contain hundred or a thousand head At the next, and most important meeting Saturday in the Water Users building, ii is planned to have every feeder of beef stock in the valley, present and ready to take part.

Why Mrs. Alice Driskell Consented

Less than a year ago on December q, 1914. Alice Walker was married to Arthur P. Driskell.
 Yesterday Drisken was granted q divorce from the woman who de- clared he was more repulsive to her than a Gila monster.
 Mrs. Drisllell did not appear in court. one of her letters to her hus- band, however. was read and though it did not quite verify his statements that she used vile and improper language it was not a classic, and did not prove her a fond and lov- ing wife.
 In his complaint Mir. Driskell said his wife had frequently asserted that she would poison him. but no men tion of this Is contained in the let ter the principal evidence introduced.
 The writer begins her letter in the following informal manner: "A friend of mine saw by the paper you had applied for a divorce--wel you are more than welcome to it as il will save me trouble and money. I will be well rid of the most foolish thing I have done yet" She writes she was ashamed to let her family see what a Hooking thing" she had married II wouldn't have any of my folks know l had married such
