JAPAN'S HAND SEEN
IN CHINESE BREAK
New Era in Celestial Republics
World Relations to Follow
German Crisis.

TOKYO, March 13.-China's decis
ion to break with Germany is partly
on Japan's advice. More than q
month ago China sent formal and
emphatic protest to Germany against
the Teutonic declaration Of an un'
limited submlrine war. This step was
not taken with Jspan's advice. but
Immediately thereafter China asked
Tokyo for advice. Japan and China
may therefore be regarded as com.
pletely in accord on China's future
plans.
The best information here is that
China wIll not actually Join the en-
tente. She will content herself with
formal disavowal OF diplomatic rela-
tionship with Germany.
Far-seeing Chinese like DR.. WI
Ting Fang, have long been anxious
for their country to break with Ger
many, or better yet, to enter the war
with the allies. II Is most significant
that both the big opposing political
parties in China-the ChinputanE and
the Kuomintang-are entirely unani-
nous in favoring at least a break.
See New Era for China.
China believes a break with Ger.
many will raise her diplomatic status,
increase her prestige, and mark the
beginning OF a new era in the history
Of her foreign relations.
More than thiS her statesmen be-
lieve severance will give China q
place in the peace conference, where
she may talk regarding the disposi-
tion OF .Shangtung province, which.
with the capture OF Tsingtau from
Germany is claimed by Japan.
She will profit in cold cash to the
amount of S20,00O. .0o0-this amount
being the remainder of the indemnity
still owing to. Germany and Austria
for the Boxer troubles. This debt will
undoubtedly be repudiated when the
break comes.
Moreover, China in breaking rela-
tions, will have an opportunity to re-
wise her existing treaties with Ger
many to her own advantage. She
may put herself In ? better position
to borrow money from the allied ma
tions-or the international banking.
group.
Might Increase Trade.
VI, II emma encered the WaT on
the allied side. some Chinese are op-
timlstic enough to believe she could
ask these nations for a term of grace
when the terms of her foreign loans
expire. Entering the war also might
increase China's export trade, CORES
pondingIy increasing her customs rev.
enues.
As far back as February %. IL was
reliably reported here In Tokyo that
China had prepared a route by which
German diplomatic and consular Of
fcers within her borders might re-
turn. It was then known the Chi
nese cabinet, including President Ii
Yuan Hung and Foreign Minister WI
Ting Fang, favored break with |
Germany. The talk at that time. |
however, was that China would await
complete results Of the break by the
United States before herself taking |

1t is human nature to want to get
the most for money when we buy
an article, but, sometimes we fail to
take into account everything that goes
to make up the price of an implement
and in the end what we thought was
going to prove a cheap article (be-
cause it cost a little less at frst)
proves a disappointment. Just think
over your past experience in buying
implements and see if this isn't true.
We believe that most of u differ
ence, in business, come because we do
not understand the "other fellows"
handicaps, and see only our own side
Of the question. IT'S said that "the
grass in the other pasture always
looks the greenest'' and we think that
if we could get to a point where we
could understand fully all the diff
culties that each of US have to con
tend with that possibly w would all
have a somewhat different viewpoint.
The fault that sometimes We haven't
done this is not chargeable to one
party to the transaction more than to
the other, rather it is possibly the
fault of a wrong economic idea that
has prevailed in business in the past.
1t seems to us that a false idea has
prevailed and that sometimes we have
failed to realize that the transaction
should be upon a basis mutually pro.
fitable. ~ full understanding of each

toward avoiding many misunderstood

is a once.a-year turnover" and it
not sold in the current season has to
be carried a full year with the interest,
insurance, ia xes and depreciation in
cident thereto. Then again, the cost
of building and maintaing the right
kind of a repair room and keep-up
repair stocks represents more of an
investment than many folks realize,
and on some lines it eats up all the
commissions on the portion of the
stock sold during the year, yet, a Csc
casting may mean a saving of $500
to a customer in the field, and it is an
item worthy of consideration in de-
termining what price you should pay
for q farm tool.
Some OF the other things to consid-
er is whether the machine is standard
and you can go anywhere with it and
get repairs; whether it will sell for
what it is worth if you wish to resell
it; whether it is durable and you will
get the maximum of years use and low
cost of up-keep; and the organization
behind it, both local and state. wide.
AS intimated last week we have
plans to improve u repair business

future We can give you better service

Preparedness %

Preparedness is a topic of national Importance, no
matter what side of the question you may take. Is the
nation properly prepared? 1t is a grave question.
But that is a question for the nation to answer.
There is one question near home, the matter of fnan.
cial preparedness of the individual against the rainy
day of adversely that may come. Are you financially
prepared to meet that sickness which may come to YOU
or your family? Are you prepared for the time when
there may be loss of employment, or loss by fire, flood,
or mismanagement? Are you prepared for the old age
that's sure to come? These are serious, vital questions
to every one of us. If you are not prepared, resolve to
open a savings account at our bank today and thus
make the first step toward your own preparedness.
