mCrcc. 1t Is the great nation OF China
to which Japan looks with eager eye
for commercial growth and China is
the crux of the relations between
Japan and the United States in the
immediate future.
Must Continue in China.
At Toxic the belief prevails that
Japan viii continue her endeavor to
Increase her political influence in
China. But Japanese business men
are constantly clamoring for "A politi'
cal asccndancy that will not be so
abrupt or so imprudent as to endanger
a peaceful economic conquest of the
nciChboring republic. Put differently.
conservative Japanese want to break
down the barrier of distrust existing
in China against things japanese and
replace it with a feeling of confidence
which will establish free trade rela-
tions based on business factors.
The readiness with which the Chi
nesc recently granted American capi-
talists concession to build II long
railroad and their hesitation in max
ing contracts with the Japanese has
awakened Japanese to the fact that
ascendancy in China tn be successful
must be accompanied by some meas
urc of trust and confidence.
Az this particular moment the Jap
ancse idea is the desirability of CO.
operation with tho United States in
the development of China. The idea
was suggested by Judge Ebert II.
Gary, chairman of the board OF drec-
tors OF the United States Steel cor
poration, during his recent visit to
Toxic, and it Is understood that some
plan of cooperation along broad lines
is now being tentatively elaborated by
representative Japanese commercial
leaders Altho the Russo-Japanesc
alliance, which calls for mutual CO.
operation in the defense OF their spe-
cial interests in China, is actively in
operation, there is no present PROOF Of
prevailing fears that Japan will per-
NIT the alliance seriously to prove
irirlical to the economic interests Of
America.
The idea of cooperation finds favor

WAR DEPARTMENT MAY
HANDLE BECK COMMISSION

Atlanta, Oct. 6.-Will the war de-
partment at Washington prevent the
issuance Of a commission as lieuten-
ant-coonel of the Fifth Regiment, Ma
tional Guard OF Georgia, TO Captain
r. M. Beck of the United States army,
because Of the protests of the three
majors Of the regiment?
Following the recent resignation Of
Lieutenant-Colonel w. r. Hendrix
who returned to his law practice in At
lanta, an election was held to fill the
vacancy, and Captain Beck received
a majority of the votes of the com
missioned officer of the regiment. The
tIlree majors, l. r. CatrOn, w. H
Lcahy and w. j. Preston, protested to
Governor Harris against the issuance
of a commission to Captain Beck,
claiming that Colonel Orville II. Hall,
commanding the regiment, had sup
ported the o. S. Army officer against
them. After thorough investigation
of the matter, Governor Harris has de-
cided that there is no legal ground on
which he can disregard the election,
and has ordered that the commits
sion be issued to Captain Beck.

NAY STEAD Saves;
NEW INVENTION
STACKS QUICKLY DRAWN TO
PRESS ON WILLIAMS PLANTA-
T,ON BOTH FORAGE AND LABOR
SAVED


An idea for gathering hay that is
worth looking into on every farm
where hay is grown come from the
farm of r. A. Williams where an album
dant crop has been save this season.
After the hay is stacked for drying
it has usually been a problem to get
it transferred to the baler without los
.ng considerable quantities in waste.
Where it is forked from the stack
TO a wagon and again transferred at
the baier there is a continual drop
ping of dry leaves from the pea vines.
This thing has been overcome on the
Williams farm with a sled large
enough to carry stack.
This is simple contriyance made
of two long skids tied together with
frame work that holds the entire
stack. When it is backed up, the
STACK Is pUllGu over lIOlit Tic lOp VI
the pole by the team ii it is large
one, by hand if small one. 1t lies
intact in perfect condition till the
baler is reached and there it goes into
the package in its entirety, no waste
occurring.
Farm Demonstration Johnson found
this idea applied to advantage ON the
farms of +. A. and |. C. Williams and
was so pleased at the elimintion Of Ia
Dor of forking the forage onto the
wagons and thus shattering the pea
leaves Off that he has agreed to help
others adopt it in handlig large hay
crops. II is a labor saver and good
forage saver considered worth while.
Those who adopted it on the Williams
plantation say that they have no pa
tent and are willing for others to adopt
1t. This device will be given to others
farmers for the next season.
