early in the year is unsatisfactory both to Japan and China a writer in the Kokumin urges the Japanese na- tion to stretch out its arms to China and by it's national power to help China and win her lasting friend ship"
 He continues: What we should do now is to make practical use of the privileges already secured. The busi- ness men of Japan should not in- dulge in meditation casting thelr heads down. Some influential Japan ese statesmen should go to Picking to secure the good will of the Chinese. and build up an entente based on help fitness and friendship"
 Baron Ishii, the new minister of foreign affairs, is represented as favoring a policy of conciiiation with China This kind of policy IS backed by the business interests who are seeking to extend the Japanese mar kets and in a general way develop the material interests of the empire. An  other group, representing the political interests are said to favor a more aggressive policy toward the Oriental neighbor
 Baron Ishii, who was subjected to an almost endless series of questions about China at a recent meeting of the bidget committee of the Diet. said that the government would have no resitation in giving official recogni- ton to the proposed empire when it is considered certain that no disturb ances will occur.
 An impression exists here that Japan does not wish to alienate the sympathy of her ally. Great Britain. and the other great powers, including the United States. by action against China which might be interpreted as unduly aggressive an darouse hostile public opinion abroad. The attitude of Great Britain which is interpreted by some Japanese as acting as . brake on Japan is beginning to arouse considerable criticism in England.

CIVILIZATIONS PROGRESS.

HELSINGFORS, Finland, Jan. 31.- Civilization is marching on in Finland unchecked by war Three art eXhib- itions are being held at the same time. and sane, wholesome viborous work is shown.
 But the great event in Finnish socie- ty this winter was the festival in com memoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the composer Jean Si- belius, known and admired in the United States Sibelius is at the height of his productive power in the opinion of French music lovers. He is also in his prime as a man and citi- zen and his neighbOrs had the very sound idea that it was betters to show their appreciation while he is fully able to enjoy their testimonial of ad- miration and friendship than to wait for his old age.
 SiSelius was born in Tavastehus. December s, 1865. He pursued musi- cal studies in Helsingfors, Berlin, Vienna and other European centers Recognition came at an early age and has been continuous ;n his own coun- try and abroad. He is member of the academy of, music of Stockholm, a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. and has been the recipent of doctorates from Yale and Helsingfors universi ties. In 1914 he visited the United States at the invitation of a well known music lover. His work has a wide range and he is still devoting himself to all the fields in which he has found recognition.

used be performed by them school has been started in Paris to train for this art.
 For the French make art of nn-keeping. And the girls who enrolled in this very modern school
 learning from the ground up scientific principles of hotel service and the art of applying them
 The building at Beausejour is light, airy, with the latest sanitary conveniences It will accom- modate s4 students and 32 have already enrolled.
 What do students learn at hotel school? Well, the
 first lesson these S2 students given hem ming clusters! The first hour in the morning, from nine is spent studying methods of table service. How to set table how to serve meals from the sim plest to the most elaborate how to clear table rapidly and silentlyhese some of the points taken up in
 training in other branches of housekeeping Then comes luncheon and after it lessons in bookkeeping, including marketing and household accounts and then French and English conclude the day It is expected that Russian will be added later
 One of the practice rooms has been furnished by Touring Club of France the girls learn just how to take care dusty tourists Lynch in the New York Sun quotes Mile Valentino Thompson editor-n-chie FeminaY speaking the opening ercises of the school follows:
 Tt is necessary that these pupils should know how to make bed and arrange room, how sew, pack
 trunk to redirect dispatches; they must know not only how wash lnen but to fold it. mend and keep in ventory of it. This art in itself and too often ected the detriment of the hotel.
 Then they must know how to set a table and how all the niceties of the most elaborate repast They should be able arrange flowers properly the different roomsfor the dining. the salon and the private sitting room, each requiring particular way The arrangement of flowers lay particular upon, for the scholars taught that they not, in the practical duties lose sight of those which add the charm and memory of a place."
 The at the school lasts three months and is followed by actual work in hotels for similar period. At the end of half examinations will be given and those who pass them will receive certificates
 What these girls really doing is making scienti- ties of making travellers comfortable very great, but there is spiritual aspect this work that should not be ignored. The directress of the school says.
 ,"We want hotels of the future to Ye something really than places where people be housed ana fed. We them furnish pleasant thoughts take away, and comfort while remains in them wan: them to be visited again and again, a traveller turns to place where he feeis that he has some claim and will be of a welcome his pocket book but to himself"
 This that the girls who learning to do tn are learning to their fellowmen in a that sincere and helpful personality.

Roleau was past them, beyond the
door, and in the hall before their scat
tered senses had time to realize what
had happened.
AS he fed, Roleau had no plan be-
yond that OF mere fight. But It
chanced that he reached the outer cor
ridor Just as Kitty's guards were
bringing her into 1t. He fell likewise
upon Kitty's guards with such des-
perate valor that before long they, too
were scattered and helpless. A mo-
ment later Kitty and Roleau fed, seek
ing some exit from the palace walls.
The hue and cry followed them now.
Almost they had escaped, but not
quite. Even at the great door of the
palace itself they were apprehended

rigibles." commented that monarch
coldly as he faced Roleau and Kitty,
still painting. This man, as you
know. Sachio, is far more dangerous
than his accomplice here She is dan
gerous. yes. in way. but this man
has hesitated at nothing-not even
murder. What shall we do with him 2"
Sachio stood also regarding the two.
'T'll tell you, your majesty" said he
at length. slowly, 'if you ask me my
own feeling in the matter. Let us
send them out of the country to-
gether They have a way of gravitat-
ing together-let them go together to
that America of which they talk so
much. Let them find the protection
of that Uncle Sam of whom they
prate."
Away with them!" command Cort-
islaw. imperiously.
Sachio therefore now had his task.
But how to achieve it was his ques-
tion. He knew well enough he could
not oblige either Kitty or Roleau to
book passage across the ocean unless
they so desired.
Attend to these two, lieutenant"
said he to the officer OF the guard
Keep them safe until return"
He hastened now as rapidly as he
might to the water front. where at the
somewhat restricted docks of Grahof-
fen an occasional ocean liner touched.
The Elbert County tribune., 1916-02-11

He knew of such an instance nova
almost ready to sail. Perhaps chance
would favor him.
He made his way across the crowded
docks to the gangway of the steamer;
but he sought no converse with the
captain or the purser of the ship. In
stead he beckoned to him one or two
deck stewards, whom he selected after
he knew.
See here, my good men," said he
when he had them aside. "As I fancy,
we are all interested In making money
is it not true?"
A grin made the answer of the two
sailors, who stood expecting some gra.
tuity.
The gratuity came-it fell into their
hands-in gold--and in large pieces.
They stood dumfounded and speech
less for the moment, but Sachio went
on:
Listen, men," said he. There are
two spies here in the city, man and
young woman. They are dangerous
to our country. They are our pris
oners-we took them in the assault
on Gretzhoffen in the recent war be
tween these two countries. They are
both Americans. l know how much
your country loves Americans-you
can guess how much l love them"
True, true" said one of the men
"That is right. We know them
those Americans"
Precisely" resumed the nobleman
Nov, we must get these spies out ol
this country secretly. They refuse tc
take passage. Very well-we will
book 1t for them then. And see,
pay you the passage money instead
of paying it to the ships purser
Somewhere in the hold you could
watch them. could you not, men.
None will be the wiser, and you will
be the richer. What then, my

her into the discard as of no use to

What is 1t your majesty means?"
inquired the nobleman.
why should we trade in such small
deer as this after all?" said Cortislaw.
I'VE may well lose all our time and
have only additional trouble for our
pains. Certainly there are enough
things to do. AS for these larger
troubles which she threatens-might
we not well have care? Well, then,
let her have her way. Let us send her
back to that country of which she
talks-let US send her back whether
she wishes to go or not!"
''As your majesty Wishes" said Sa-
chic gravely.
"Coome to me within the hour, Sa-
chio," said Cortislaw, turning away.

send her out of our country. Let it

the gold pieces in their hands.
There is not the least danger In
the world about IT," said the strange
man who had thus accosted them.
You are committing no crime, Dut

These two spies will be brought here
to the dock Just before the ship sails
There is some confusion-but they get
aboard-they are hoisted from the
dock into the hold, where they will be
safe. Very good. the vessel sails. She
is at sea one day. two days. Then all
at once there is hue and cry-stowa-

well, that is all. They tell their story,

such they will be landed in due time
at New York. Their passage money
is paid not to the ship but to you

Some New Ways of Getting
 Best of That Tricky Memory

The old method of tying a string about the finger to recall to mind some task to be done at a certain time has been done away with. The new way is to transfer ring from one finger to another. On the accustomed fin ger the ring feels natural and does not cause annoyance. but on any oth- or finger 1t slightly irritates. This ir- ritation constantly will aid in recalling the task to be done. Just try it once.
 Another and more novel way is to carry eolored ribbon in the coat pocket. Suppose. now, you are in your office. Your wife phones you to be sure and bring home certain thing. Go to your coat hanging on the office rack, take out the ribbon, and tie it tightly around a sleeve. At night when you start to go home your fist will jam itself against the tied sleeve. "Oh, yes" you will say to yourself, there's that cough sirup Mol ly told me to he sure and bring home tonight and off you will go at once to make the purchase.

the State Federation of Labor pro- vided that the legislature may still submit three amendments, but in addition the people may initiate as many as desired. as was intended by Amendment No. 10. This makes it possible to make tte de- sired number of amendments to the Constitution at any election without the necessity of con- stitutional convention and these amendments must be published in every county for ninety days prior to election, thus giving the people full opr ortunity to become familiar With them, in fact many of these amendments will be discussed for year or more before they are voted upon.

Agriculture.
 Sour milk is valuable in any r;l- ton.
 Summer shade insures thrifty chicks. Remove overactive cockerels to a separate yard.
 Clean up the incubator remove the lamp and throw away the wick. Soft, fresh dirt is an insurance against leg weakness in chicks. Add to the grain feeds with a mix ture such as bran, shorts and corn meal.
 Do not keep unnecessary male birds. An extra hen eats no more and may lay eggs.
 When range is limited spade up the runs or move the brood coop short distance daily.
 Spoiled or decaying flesh if eaten, will surely cause Timber neck. Burn or bury the dead.
 Watch for head lice on the chicks. If found, rub top of head with d small piece of lard free from salt.
