JAPANESE FARMING EFFICIENCY

The plan of the late Japanese statesman Ayawo Hat tori for solving the immigration problem between the United States and his own country has been renewed, and in furtherance of the scheme number of gradu- ates of Japanese agricultural colleges are to be established in the United States each year with view to showing their efficiency as farmers and thus demonstrating their deSrability as residents.
 Persons who have observed Japanese farming once, will need no further proof of it's efficiency Indeed its ef cency is such that where comes in direct competition with the farming of American citizens the latter are soon forced out of business It must be said only in whisper but the chief opposition to the Japanese farmer based on his efficiency economy and intense industry rather than on any racial prejudice per SC.

A WIFE. A SPANK, AND A CIGARETTE
(New Orleans Tmes-Picayune)

(NeW OlIedlS IuleS-f lCayule)
 The New York citizen who spanked his wife for smoking cigarettes at home has been sustained in his bizarre course by the court The judge, indeed warmly commended the husbands unusual discipline and advised him to do it again if necessary"
 The wife however, has no intention of allowing the court set up standard of personal conduct for the man and another for the woman. reporter for New York newspaper called at her home and found the wife determined to assert her right to smoke cigarette when ever she felt so inclined Just she is smoking two cigarettes day after she rocks the baby to sleep in the morning. and another after she rocks him in the ing She says it rests and quets her to take few dags of cigarette when she is fatigued " could stop it now this minute" she told the reporter, "but why should F" But she is opposed to smoking in pub Iic where it may have some aspect of dissipation.
 Smoking, per SC, as the New York woman handles it, is not likely to have serious effect than family trouble Probably both and women would be better off physically they knew the flavor of tobacco smoke The prejudice against the of tobacco by is largely because the practice for long confined to disspated women The objection of the New York hus band was largely upon this score But though may be exceedingly bad taste the spanked wife is standing

THE PLAIN TRUTH

Chairman Flood upon introducing the resolution de- carng war against Germany made very remarkable speech, speech so remarkable for it's amazing candor that an editorial interpretation of it's meaning would only weaken its significance
 Said MT. Flood: This is undoubtedly declaration of war against the imperial government ot Germany. The cost to us will be prodigious, not only in lives and money but vast increase in the cost of living. We enter this war which has been forced upon with no selfish motives We have nothing to gain but everything to lose we want no sessions of new territory have no ancient grudges to settle we this solely for the vndca ton of our national honor and the maintenance of our rights"

A GOOD SUGGESTION

news item informs us that up at Fairbanks they paying four bits apiece for both rabbits and rats those being wanted farms to feed the foxes which threatened with starvation because of scarcity of their usual food
 At the risk of offending with story old that it's odor is rank might be suggested that the expedent of the cat farmer be adopted As everybody knows that erpsng genius skinned his cats for the fur and then fed the carcasses to the rats; which of course, thus maintained a of food for the cats and the diplomats would express it, the status quo thus main tained and both cats and rats increased.
