JAPAN is WATCHING
OUR PLANS FOR DEFENSE

That Japan is an interested observ-
er of our preparedness plans in con-
gress is indicated by a number of
cartoons from recent issues of the
Tokyo newspapers. Several Of these,
reproduced in Cartoons Magazine,
throw an interesting light upon the
japanese point of view. In one car
toon from Yorodzu, Uncle Sam is rep
resented loaded down with arma-
ment. He is bending beneath the
huge load of battleships and cannon.
and the implication is that the bur-
den will soon be too much for him,
as it is today with most of the Euro
pean nations.
Another cartoon shows Uncle Sam
as a rich old miser, clutching a gold
cane in hands that sparkle with dia-
monds. He is glancing at a shop
window where a big gun is displayed
and the caption reads: Uncle Sam
prefers arms to a gold cane"
Osaka Puck has a cartoon showing
President Wilson in the role of I'm
Gle Sam, trying on a new admiral's
uniform, and decorating himself with
naval flags. The decorations, how
ever, do not fit him properly, as he
notices in looking at the mirror. The
coat tails sweep the floor, and the
sleeves of the coat conceal his hands.
|"He is simply trying to show off a
little bit" the Japanese artist in
forms us. sHe had better glance in
the mirror and see how he looks"

HE HoWLED AND HOWLED
AT THE BEAMiNG MOON

A dog sat out in the midnight chill
and howled at the beaming moon;
his knowledge of music was strictly
nil and his voice was out of tune.
And he howled and howled as the
hours went by, while lodging the
bricks they threw, till the moon was
low in the western sky, and his voice
was split in two. And there wasn't
a thing at which to howl, at which
a pup would weep, and the course of
the dog was wrong and foul, for peo-
ple were wild to sleep. There are
plenty of men like the blamed fool
hound, who yell when there's nothing
0 disturbing the country with
s~enseless sounds-the pessim1sts
doleful song.-Exchange.

ENDS
Body Pledges Support to Multitude Of
reforms and Makes "Co-opera-
ton" 1917 Watchword.

Raleigh.-The North Carolina Far.
mers' Union adjourned it's annual
three-day convention with unanimous
ly adopted resolutions that pledged
the body to multitude of reforms.
In these are listed an important
amendment to the Federal rural cred
it's act, a demand for the extension
of the compulsory school attendance
act to embrace children of IA years
instead of IL as at present, reforms
in prison management and in legal
procedure, economic reforms that
will replace the $4,000 worthless dogs
with $4,000 hogs and 100000 sheep,
and finally concentration upon things
essentially agricultural and educa'
tional.
For spectacular work the session
Just closed might be Offset by any
sort of meeting, but it was the sentl-
ment of the big delegation here that
no annual gathering ever produced so
much of work and so little of hot air.
The union has become fiercely CO.
operative in it's work but the mem
bers will not join in upon any PROPOSE
ton to make orators Of the delegates.
The watchword for 1917 is to be-
"co-operation" What a strictly IN
ionized farmer neighborhood can do
in the cooperative warehouse, cream
cry, marketing or what not was told
by the best brains Of the convention,
by men who have tried it and seen
It work. In the last morning session
strong sentiment for state fertilizer
factory operated by the union deVel'
oped. It had been shown that many
thousands have been saved the past
year by cooperative buying. Inc
thousands could be- many times multi
piled, it was urged, by un1on-owneo
and operated fertilizer factory, fun
damental need.
The suggestion did not take more
definite form. It was transferred to
the executive committee. There ap
peared to be no legal machinery 1ol
erecting such a business now. Bu'
cooperation had become a contag1on
and the brotherhood was falling over
itself to help it's neighbors.

DECORATION DAY

Flags and the band and marching
Of faithful veteran feet,
Fathers, young men and children
With voices shril and sweet;
And Lincoln's spirit marching in every
shining line,
And Lincoln's peace and freedom lit with
the smile divine!
Flags and the band and marching
Banners that proudly wave,
May green upon the meadows
And on the soldiers grave:
The boys in blue are ashes meath the
lilacs on their sod
But their souls are free forever with Lin
coin and with God!
Flags and the band and marching
And the drum-beats steady throb,
Pipe on above, O robin,
To drown a sudden sob!
The laurel wreath for heroes dead! And
a cheer for all the brave
Who march with Lincolns soul today to
liberate and save!

WHISKEY? NO.
Not for Rheunatics

Don't drink whiskey if you have
rheumatism, and be sure and keep
your feet warm and dry, and drink
plenty of lemonade.
This advice, says an authority, is
helping; but as all know who have
suffered, rheumatism is stubborn
disease and yields only to remedy
mighty enough to conquer it.
Many doctors have prescribed and
hundreds of helpful druggists have adj
vised half teaspoonful of Rheuma
once a day, because that powerful
Rheuma, harmless as it is, acts with
speed and overcomes in few days
the most torturing case Of rheuma-
tism or sciatica.
Try Rheuma; Fred D. Pierce and all
druggists sell lots of it and will
return your money if two 50-cent
bottles do not stop all rheumatic
misery.
Sold and guaranteed in Orleans by
