JAP RULER VERY
DEMOCRATIC
SOVEREIGN
YoShihitO WanderS About Streets
Much After the Democratic
Fashion Holding in the United
States.

KlOTO, Nov. 1O-In days no far
distant the people of Japan were for
hidden to gaze upon their monarch.
When the Divine Ruler passed through
the streets houses were closed and
barred and windows darkened and the
inhabitants prostrated themselves in
silence and i'm homage. When this
circumstance of history is placed side
by side with a modern summer incl
dent of Nikko, with an Emperor saun-
tering long a public thoroughfare en-
joying his vacation, while numbers Of
people passed unknowingly, unrecog-
nizing. almost touching him, there is
had some comparison of the old and
the new Japan.
The sauntering Emperor was Noshi-
/ hito, who embodies both the ancient
sanctity and the new democracy. He
wore an ordinary western sack suit
of grey. a Panama hat such as might
/ be seen on Broadway any day protect
! ed his head from the Nikko sun, and
a stick helped to complete the picture
OF "a very modern ruler No guard
was visible; only two members of the
household walked behind.
Popular belief and a deep reverence
for their emperor as lineal descendant
of the Sun Goddess have invested his
person with such an atmosphere o
sanctity that the masses of japanese
people-the older people especially
logical and practical as they undoubt
edly are, do not willingly gye ear t
reports that their sacred monarch ii
proficient in French, is found of bill
ards, and even occasionally wears {
sack suit.

Apple Growers Urged
To Form Organizations

Formation Of effective cooperative
organizations Of apple growers is urged
by the Department Of Agriculture in a
report on investigations of the apple
market. Whereas observations In the
Chicago market showed that - per
cent of the arrivals in carload lots
and 10 per cent Of the barreled ship
ments were OF such poor quality that
the price would not have paid the
freight charges. the department investi-
gators found that where growers asso-
Citations handle the output and secure
uniformity in pack and advantageous
distribution of the crop. and also box
apples instead of packing them in bar
rels. the crop can be disposed of profit
ably The effect of the war has been
found less disastrous on the apple in
dnstry than was feared. the report says,
because Scandinavian markets and ex-
tensions of the South American trade

purchases
