RELATIONS GOOD
WITH JAPAN AND
UNITED STATES

TOXIC, April 12-"The relations be-
tween the United States and Japan
have always been excellent notwith-
standing disturbing rumors at times to
the contrary" said Baron Ishii, the
minister of foreign affairs, during a
recent address here, but as far as
can judge they have never been bet
ter or as good as they are today" The
minister was speaking at the annual
dinner of the Americas Friends Asso-
ciation an organization composed of
Japanese who are especially interested
il maintaining the good relations be-
tween Japan and the United States
Vlscount Kentaro Kaneko, a member
OF the privy council, presided, and
among those present were Premier
Count Okuma and George w. Guthrie,
the American ambassador. Baron Ishii
said:
We all remember about a quarter
of century ago the creation of the
cry the yellow peril / did not under
stand it then and do not now, but it
originated from certain power in Eu
rope whose real aim was to create dis
cord to serve her own purposes of dom
ination, to crush down the newly rising
nation in the Far East. Happily fo.
humanity's sake, the American people
understood the motives behind this
power. This European power today is
now frankly and openly embarked on
her ambition of world conquest"
He continued: "The result is that
tie relations between Japan and the
United States are better than at any
previous time because that power is
too much occupied with her own trou-
bles and cares, and the relations be-
tween the United States and japan
are now left to be regulated by them
selves. Therefore, we find when left
without this source of intrigue that
there never has been a better or more
cordial understanding between the
two nations bordering the Pacific than
at present. We have every reason to
congratulate ourselves on the eIimina
ton of this source of trouble, for it
bespeaks bright future; for this pow-
er and will be too busy for some time
to interfere. With the continual grow
ing, better understanding of the mo-
tives of each country, this relationship
will grow year by year more ideal,
more cordial as it just ought to be-"
Premier Okuma made a reference to
tie United States both at Americas
Friends dinner and at luncheon which
he gave yesterday at his official resi-
dence to the Japanese and foreign
journalists. He referred to President
advocacy of military expan-
sion and said that it was forced upon
the United States by the war in Europe.
He added:
"The ideal of peace and the princi
pie of democracy so strongly upheld by

Now that the certainty of the early
arrival of Mr.. Holmes is established,
the interest in the approaching visit of
the audacious gentleman is on the in
crease, and everywhere one goes Sher-
lock Holmes Jr., ~ an invariable topic
of conversation, and it is practically
assured that by the time the gentleman

Message From Holmes.

The following message was received
from Mr.. Holmes, by his Manager, who
communicated with the gentleman tell
ing him that it had been reported that
he (IIolmes) had been in Americus two
years ago.
THE news you import is certainly
interesting, to say the least Of it. I
never knew before that there were two
of me Zone is amply sufficient l thank
YOU but if your report is correct, then
l must be two of me, especially as l
have no recollection of ever having
been in Americus However, / pre-
sumo this is the same old case of ''imi-
tation" and l will trust you TO straight
en- the matter out"
Sherlock Holmes, Jr., has never be-
fore been in Americus. The gentleman
who will appear here is the same man
who has been constantly operating
since 1905. He has operated for news
papers all over the country, but in as
much as it is impossible to copyright a
proper name, and as Sherlock Holmes,
" If, n no e.
no manner of preventing anyone else
from using the name Sherlock Holmes,
JI., consequently, someone has evil
IDENTIFY been operating upon Mr..
Holmes reputation, not alone in Amer
icus but in other cities as we'll. The
gentleman now arranging for Mr..
Holmes has credentials of unuuestion-
c4 authority and reliability that he
will be glad to show anyone interested.
Since Mr.. Holmes started in business
there have been Fluffy Ruffles. Dolly
Dimples, Mr.. Big Finger, Mr.. Slip
Thumb and others, all of whom have
been imitators, pure and simple OF
Sherlock Holmes, Jr., but as imita-
tion is the sincerest flattery, after all,
il may be matter of congratulation.
About Ready for Start.
The contest is practically ready to
start Sherlock is expected now upon
try train, and by tomorrow OF next day
at the very latest you will have the
pleasure of reading his own story, and
you may rest assured that you will
find it we'll worth reading as Mr..

and always writes interestingly. You
must not expect too much of the gen.

AMER|CUS TAXES
WILL GET CLEAN

That the city cs Americus was los
ing approximately $4,000 per year in
revenue on property which was not re-
turned for taxes, was the statement

and discussion followed which it is

systematic tax digest for the city of

Officials of the city enumerated dill
ferent plots of land in the city which
did not appear on the tax books of

Notwithstanding what he may have

Several peculiar points arose in a
discussion as to whether the resigna-

by reason of no formal action having
taken place by the city council, thas

All of these features were cured by

the costumes planned, though strict

Train Your Hair As
An Actress Does

No class Of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and
naturally no class must be more careful
to retain and develop their charms. In
quiry among them develops the infor-
nation that in hair care they find il
dangerous to shampoo with any make
shift hair cleanser Instead they have
studied to find the finest preparation
made for ShamPooing and bringing out
the beauty of the hair. The majority Of
them say that to enjoy the best hair
wash and scalp stimulator that is
known, get a package of canthrox from
your druggist; dissolve a teaspoonful
in a cup OF hot water and your shampoo
is ready. II costs less than three cents
for this amount After its use the hair
dries rapidly, with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be so fluffy that il will look
much heavier than il is. Its lustre and
softness will also delight you, while the
stimulated scalp gains the health which
insures hair Srowth.-Ady,
