JAPANESE SPIES In MEXICO
A Cook That Did His Work and Then Went
Home.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Several days ago there appeared IN
The Tribune an article concerning japanese
spies in Mexico. Will this interest you? Some
eighteen months ago, SO, in the course Of
conversation with a young Mexican, v
touched on the subject of Japanese spies IN
the United States. | believe it was about the
time the government prohibited the employ
Nent of japanese servants by navy officers and
their families
at is the same in our country" he said. He
then told me of a Japanese cook who had
lived several years. forget how many-with
his family and between whom and the family
a warm attachment had developed. They were
consequently surprised when he announced
that, to his deep regret, he must leave them.
But why do you go if you do not want to
to-"
81 have no choice" he replied. my gov
eminent has ordered me home"
"But what has your government to do with
you ?" they asked, in astonishment
He then told them that he belonged to the
Japanese navy; that he had been doing special
work in Mexico for his government; that now
that work was finished, and he was recalled
This explained the facts that the man had
appeared intelligent and educated above bis
assumed station, and that he had been very
much engrossed with studies or work over
which he had constantly pored when not
engaged in his duties as cook-exeept when
outside.
1t seems almost incredible that the Japan
csc would confde even that much of his secret
to any Mexican; still he might il he cared so
deeply for his employers. There was no rea-
son for the youth to fabricate his story. he
was, moreover, one who, after months st the
same table, impressed one as a particularly
wholesome, frank well-bred boy. His father
was with him, but spoke no English.
Incidentally, these Mexicans were persons
of wealth who had suffered much property
loss and other trouble in connection with the
political strife. At that time, having cometo
this country, this boy and his father found
themselves cut off from their family, unable
to return to their home because they were
suspected of political intrigue. | did not
first intend to mention this, as not pertinent
to the subject; but it occurs TO me that the
mans being active in politics may account ior
the Jspanese's seeking a position in his
family. CHARLOTTE DOBblN'

In the past have enjoyed to the fullest
extent Mr.. Shaw's brilliant handling of words

There lay
A spell upon the valley; Sleep knelt

And kissed the steeples of the little

Spare Quiet stalked the roads in his cloak

And yet what roar was that? What light
like day
Droned forth upon the hill? What
demons frown
Beat through the dark round where in a
blazing crown
The Curtss shops crashed in grim rounde-

All night the eagles in their fiery nest
Strained forward, poised for flight in

And cities yet unknown TO Yankee

Where beaked with flame, and thunder
hot in the quest
OF battles, up from the rolling hosts of

ness, and my greatest desire now is
20 say something that will make it
possible for other girls to profit by

Here, according to the girI-wife,
are the reasons a young girl should
never marry an old man:
An old man lacks the proper un-
derstanding of love; his is a selfish
Interpretation of the word. An old
man, especially if he has been a
bachelor, lacks good manners and is
unwilling to learn them. He will not
eat with his fork. He will not blow
his nose in a handkerchief. He will
throw water on the floor instead of
into the sink. He will insist on keep

body is trying to steal his wife. He is
Jealous of the carpenter, the plumb
er, the electrician, and even of his
wife's girl friends. An old man
eternally breaches economy and OBJ
jects to buying necessary clothing
for his wife.
'In my opinion" says Mrs. Eyster,
mo girl should marry a man more
than six or seven years her senior. If
possible, she should marry a man
about her own age. She should avoid
marrying a bachelor. A bachelor

ct was then l learned" said the
girl bride, that the story of his
wealth was a myth He did not have
the vast holdings to which he pre-
tended. In fact, his annual income
was only $500 a year and he mort
gagged his place in Altadena to buy
the furniture for the house in which
we lived. His only source of income
aside from the lemons he raised on
his twO-acre AItadena place, was the
rental from a small ranch in North
ern California"
According to Mrs. Eyster, her hus-
band said he would give her half Of
all he had after their marriage. But
when she suggested that he give her
a joint tenancy deed to his property,
she says he refused.
"This was not an attempt on my
part to get hold of his property; on
the contrary, it was merely part
nership arrangement to which I
thought 1 was entitled. However,
I do not want any Of his property
now. All want is my freedom. And

SEWER SYSTEM IS
 GIVEN INSPECTION
CONDITION FOUND GOOD
Litigation Over Sites of Disposal Tanks to Come up in Faulk-
 ner Courts.

The sanitary sewer system and septic disposal. tanks were inspected yesterday afternoon by the board of improvement of the sewer district of Conway, the council committee on light, water and sewer systems and Supt k. V. Leverett of the light and water plants, for the purpose of de- termining whether the system is working properly and whether any improvements are needed After a thorough investigation, the commit tees decided that the system is in good working order.
 Considerable complaint has been made from adjacent property owners as to the two disposal tanks, one be- ing located on the southeastern and the other in the southwestern corner ot the city limits, it being claimed that the discharge from these tanks is very offensive at times. The mat ter is now in litigation in the Faulk- her chancery and circuit courts. The southwestern tank is located on prop erty belonging to Henry Erbach, the sewer district having never acquired title to the ground. Suit for the con- demnation of the land was brought. and the court made an order granting the commissioners the right to con- struct the tank, but it has not vet fixed the amount of the purchase price. For the southeastern tank a site was purchased, but Mrs. Henry Bowman, owner of a 6O-acre tract of land through which a drainage ditch carrying the discharge from the tank flows has brought damage suit against the city and district, asking judgment for S7,00O damages.
 The district filed suit for the con- demnation and purchase of the entire tract of land, and all the cases are now pending in the courts and will come up at an early date

IA U. s. AGENTS WORKING IN STATE AID ARKANSAS FARMERS Government and University Employ
 Big Force, Covering Wide
 Range of Work.

Little Rock, May 17.-Probably few people in Arkansas realize that in Little Rock in the old state house are the headquarters of one of the largest forces in the country for carrying de- finite instruction for farm folks. It IS known as the extension service of the University of Arkansas, cooper ating with the United States depart ment of agriculture, and it now in- cludes IA people. Ninety-one of these are men and women that work in counties as agricultural and home demonstration agents and the others are supervisors and specialists.
 The work of thees specialists is ex- tremely interesting. These include specialists in farm crops, horticulture, animal husbandry, animal diseases and home economics. They serve anybody or any community, working in counties with county agents and also in counties that do not now have county agents. A brief report of the work for the past two weeks as gathered from the records of the of flee of w. C. Lassetter, assistant di- rector of this extension service, will interest good many people.
 J. H. Mcleod is the animal hus- bandry specialist for the tick infected territory, and since last October he has been travelling all over southern Arkansas conferring with bankers and farmers and addressing meetings in the interest of better livestock. About the first of May, after having worked in Logan county with the county agricultural agent for few weeks, he went to Texas with a com mittee from that county and assisted in the buying of two cars of register ed shorthorn bulls. During the great CT part of the past week he has been in Miller county visiting in company with the county agricultural agent, farmers and planters who are inter- ested in pure bred stock, and held a meeting in Texarkana on Saturday, May 13, and the bankers of Texar- kama are to finance, where necessary, the farmers in that county in the pur- chase of pure bred stock, and at this time he is probably in Texas with a committee from Miller county.
 D. R. Forester is the animal hus- bandry specialist, working in CO., operation with the bureau of animal industry for the tick-free territory and he has been for the past two weeks holding special meetings in Carroll, Benton and Woodruff counties. A committee has gone from Carroll county to purchase car of pure bred bulls, this venture being financed by bankers of Eureka Springs. Con- mittees from Benton and Woodruff counties vii probably go this week.
 R. H. Mason, the dairy specialist from the bureau of animal industry has held in the last two weeks butter making and cream separator demon strations in Clay, Randolph and Ben- ton counties, establishing classes in butter making and helping to arrange for cream shipping routes, and plan ming stables and sheds and milk houses for farmers who are getting

The romance that caused the union
of these two popular young people
