Heed Education's Call.
A writer IN the Near East pictures
the coming of Japan's t4new woman"
IN ways that would be impressive
were there no Europe and no world
war. We have heard before that
bound feet are no more In China,
that Picking believes in education for
girls, and all through the 1owery
land the American sewing machine
is giving a good account of itself We
are now assured that Japan, polite
~ modernized for well night half a
century, is deep in the task of COM
pleting the emancipation of its wom-
en- from the patriarchal system.
Vast numbers of them have found
occupations in the factories, other
contingents are at work in the Of
fees and IN that newest innovation OF
all, that department store. The age
OF business has at last dawned for the
island empire and the click of the
typewriter is heard in the land. Mean
while there is a rush of women to the
professions. It is the women now who
are sought for the stage, and the de-
mand has been found large enough to
warrant the formation of dramatic
schools attached to the large thea
tiers. A woman doctor used to be an

Toxic, twenty-seven out of thirty
nine candidates who passed were

Compare this peaceful type of eyo-
luton with the changes which have
come to the Western people under the
stress of war. In our own land the
women, their churches and clubs, are
now fast closing up into q great CO.

At a demonstration given the other
day by English women in Hartford
shire, one thousand of them gather
ed to show their proficiency in trim

and a dozen other kinds of farm worl
which they had taken up to iberatt

the remarkable showing made b!

roads happen to be good they are

BELGIUM OFFERED PEACE
AND WAR INDEMNITY

Separate Pact Presented for King
A1bert's Consideration

LONDON, England.-Lametropole
Belgian newspaper published here
says the German attempt to separate
the allies has been defeated by
Baron Debroqueville, the Belgian
foreign minister. According to the
paper, Germany recently made a
peace offer to Belgium.
Lametropole says the bearer of
the peace proposal was Belgian in
dustrial and financial magnate, who
knew the foreign minister, Debroque-
vile personally. He went to Paris
thru Switzerland, and asked for a
meeting with the minister, who met
him in Paris hotel.
The emissary there said he would
be commissioned by Baron Won Der
lancken, legal advisor of the German
government in Belgium, to propose
that semi-official Belgian and French
delegates should meet German dele
gates in Berne to lay down basis of
lasting peace. Among the commits
sion's terms would be recognition
OF Belgian independence, indemnity
for war expenses, reparation for war
destruction and~~a" convocatfun of
peace conference at Brussels. under

COURT CONVENES MONDAY

The district court will convene
Monday, Nov. 5, and nine criminal
cases and a good many civil cases
are on the docket.
The prosecuting attorney says the
most important criminal cases to be
tried are the Lundhi case and the
Farmer case. Most of the others
are bootlegging charges and may not
occupy much of the courts time.
County Attorney Adair says that
for the past three months people
have behaved pretty we'll, excepting
that some Of the women in the
county seat have been quarreling
across the fence.
One Jack Ryan connected with the
work at the Red Barn was bound

to thresh the small jobs. The fellow
who squeezed thru the season and

1t has brought up a new question of

that the local branch of the federal

this matter from all the communities
where this has happened, and seek
to adjust matters so that grain will
be threshed and made to do it's share
