KNITTING ON THE TRAIN.

Time spent in travelling may be
utilized just as effectively as that
spent in Red Cross workrooms. So
one of the Denver members proved
recently on trip from Denver to the
coast. Finding herself in an unaccus-
toned state of idleness, and noticing
several other women in the car also
idle, she got off at one of the stations,
made a quick purchase of yarn and
knitting needles and, returning to the
train, proceeded to enlist volunteers.
Practically every woman in the Pull
man was glad of the opportunity to do
worthwhile work, and by the time the
train arrived at San Diego there were
a number of new knitted articles ready
to turn over to the Red Cross.

JAPAN STANDS WITH ALLIES
In the War From High Purposes-Her
Treaties Not Mere Scraps of Paper.

Boston, Sept. 18.-Japan is in this
war on the side of America and the
allies "to win with you, to cooperate,
to coordinate, to contribute" Viscount
Ishii declared tonight at banquet
given at the Copley Plaza in honor of
the Japanese missio nof which he is
the leader.
"We do not enter into treaties to
tear them up and scatter them to the
Winds" he continued earnestly. "Our
treaties are not mere scraps of paper
We have helped to free the Pacific
from the ships and the influence of the
nation which has thrown off its thin
covering of decency and now stands
revealed in all the horrid nakedness of
the savage. - -
The enthusiasm displayed when 2
great crowd greeted the mission on its
arrival today in pouring rain from
Newport, r. l., reached It's climax to-
night, when Viscount Ishii spoke of
Japan's faithfulness to its treaties and
to it's friendships.
In both the addresses the viscount
gave today-the one at the banquet
in response to warm expressions of
goodwill by Lieut.. Gov. Calvin Cool
idge, Mayor Curley and others, and
the one at the convention to revise the
State constitution-he dwelt upon the
ties that bind America, and particular
ly New England, to Japan.

LETTER RECEIVED FROM
A FORMER UNION MAN

The Times editor recently received
letter from Rev. w. E. G.. Hum
phries, now living at Nespelem, Wash,
but for several years residing at
Flandreau, S. ID. Mr.. Humphries is

partment of the Interior, United
States Indian Service. and has this
year so schools under his supervision
as supervising superintendent and 30
schools under his jurisdiction as day
school Inspector. In concluding his
letter, Mr.. Humphries writes as fol-
lows:
"My work takes me over a large
territory of very interesting country
including schools in Idaho and many
scattered over almost the entire State
of Washington.
"The climate is excellent. scenery
picturesque and sublime. Winters are
just little too long to suit one that
was born and reared in South. Last
year, or winter, snow was on the
ground for about six months and
most of this time so deep that it was
very difficult to travel. This was true
with reference to northeastern part
of the State, but on the western part
of the State very little snow fell and
that which fell did not stay on the
ground very long.
"It has been very dry here all sum-
mer, and crops are not as good as
usual. However, at the Colville Agen.
cy we have irrigation and our gardens
are hard to beat. l have had abun-
dance of vegetables for the last three
or four months, and will have about
p or 80 sacks of potatoes to put away
for winter use, besides abundance OF
carrots, parsnips, beets, cabbage and
quite a quantity of dried vegetables
such as beans, carrots, cabbage, par
snip, etc. In addition to this my fam
lily have canned a great many vegeta
bles and fruits, and will can a great
deal more. l have tried to do my part
along this line during the odd mo-
ments of my time. All food in this
part Of the world is very high and il
bchooves one to conserve all he can"

THEY WILL BE SOLD ON install
MENT PLAN, AND PUT WITHIN
THE REACH OF SMALL-SALA-
RIED MEN.

ATLANTA, GA, Oct 4.-By the
middle of October the organization
! fer the sale of the second issue of
Liberty Loan Bonds will have been
carried into practically every militia
district in the sixth Federal Reserve
district.
Every community will have a COM
mittee of its own. Already between
! 800 and 800 of these committees have
been appointed and they are now be-
| ing named at the rate of more than
100 a day The last two weeks of
October, toward the close of the cam
paign, it is expected ia have approx
rately 1000 of these working through
out the district. The organization
has been pitched upon this extensive
basis for the purpose of reaching
every possible ultimate purchaser of
Liberty Bond.
Before the campaign is over 1t is
the purpose of the executive commit
tee of the sixth district, says Chair
man wardlaw, that in addition to
having the Liberty Bond issue and
all that it means constantly before
him, every man who is able to pur-
chase one of these bonds, no matter
how shall the denomination, shall be
personally approached and urged to
make this investment
Practically the whole campaign
vii be directed, Chairman Warlaw
points out, to the selling of bonds of
small denomination on the instalment
plan Farmers, merchants, clerks,
salaried men and wage earners of
every class who may not be able to
invest largely in the issue will be
urgently and personally solicited to
take bond anywhere from $50 to
| $500, according to their means, max
ing a small cash payment and the re-
mainder in weekly or monthly in
stalments according to arrangements
with the bank where the purchase is
negotiated
Banks all over the sixth district will
join more generally in the campaign
than before, and bonds may be bought
at any bank.
The executive committe for the 9th
district is greatly encouraged over
the campaign in its outset, particular.
| ly with the reports of the stronger
and more thorough organization per
fected in almost every community

Dr. Guy E. Snavely, director of the
southern division since it's organiza-
ton, will continue in the capacity
of the bureau of development His
long contact with Red Cross chap
tiers, a large majority Of which were
organized under his direction, makes
him ideally suited for these duties.
There were 26 chapters ovtr the coun-
try when he took charge, and now
there are $40 Willis j. Miner, Jr.,

This wonderful eight-reel photo-play
marks distinct epoch in the educa-
tional side of the motion picture, as il
is a masterpiece from the pen of q
great author, whoseh Ugh ideal has
been sustained throughout The char
acters of this gripping story are de-
lineated in finished and artistic man
ner by a company Of French players,
headed by Henri Kraus, the most cell
ebrated actor in France. He is sup
ported in Les Miserables' by SPLEEN
did cast, including Nils. Mistinguett,
the famous French star, and Mile. Fro
met, Frances most famous child ac-
tress.
There is an atmosphere to this pro
to-drama that is not to be found in
those of our making. The French ac-
tors give an unusual Interpretation Of
the story. The gestures, the facial ex-
pressisons are almost silent dialogue,
The scenes of Paris and those of rural
France are so different from the beau
ties four own country with which
we are familiar and the thought of our
soldiers fighting in the land of the tri-
color makes these scenes particularly
absorbing. A fact worthy of note is
the interest of young people and school
authorities in this masterpiece Surely
no story mas such a strong appeal to
the heart as the life story of Jean Val
