schedule of West Virginia University and West Virginia
Wesleyan Both schools know that Farmont is fair
territory and by the time the rolls around we will
be in position not only to afford better hotel and res
auran facilities than ever before but also to provide
the best field this West Virginia sport classic was ever
played on.

His Birthday.

Mrs. q. had promised her slx.year.
old son birthday party, but when the
TINE came she told him he would have
TO wait, because she was too busy to
attend to it. The next week she was
very i'll, and so it had to be postponed
again. The following week he came
in one morning looking rather fearful
and said: Mother, can't 1 be born to-
day?"

REASON TO BE GRATEFUL
From the American Economist.

EOm Tue american economist.
Japan's friendly attitude toward the
United States is gratifying and reas.
surfing. In the event Of war the good
will and the active alliance of that
country would be most welcome, espe.
cially to the Hawaiian Islands and to
our Pacific Coast states. One strong
reason for Japan's friendly attitude is
suggested by Charles Bates Strayer il
Leslie's, as follows:
Whether there will ever be a milf
tary clash between Japan and the Uni
ted States is open to question. but
there Is no doubt about commercial
competition. Against our intelligence
and ingenuity Japan places initiative
and aggressiveness and scale of
wages and a standard of living before
which the American worker must
throw up his hands. For 2577 years
the Japanese government has been in.
shilling habits Of economy into the peo-
pie. Government reports of daily
wages in Japan in 1915 and in New
York in 1914 give this comparison:
Japan. New York.

manufacturers, even after coming
here for the raw material, taking it
home to finish and bringing It back
again across the Pacific. In no product
in which labor is q large percentage of
the cost can we compete with Japan.
1t is no wonder that Japanese business
men, fearing Protective Tariff that
would curtail Japanese exports to
America, welcomed the reelection Of
President Wilson,"
So did the Industrial producers of
every other foreign country welcome
the first and second elections of
Woodrow Wilson. Especially did they
welcome the enactment of the Under.
wood Free-Trade Tariff with schedules
arranged so as to give foreign produc-
ers great privileges and opportunities
in the American market. Japan, with
wage costs less than one.tenth of
American wage costs, has especial
reason to be grateful.

WHETHER CAPITAL is
"BONE-DRY" UNDECIDED

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE national
capital of the United States is now
dry. Whether it is bone dry il yet
30 be determined. Conflicting claims
on this point are being made. and
tests are to follow in the courts to
finally determine this question. No
bone-dry provision was added to the
Sheppard district bill. and Judging
by the way outside liquor establish
ments are sending in tens of thou
sands of circulars daily, seeking bust
ness here, 1t would seem that they
are expecting no interference with the
outside business
This very activity, however, 1t is
expected, will result in amendments
to the district law, at the next SEES
sion OF congress. under which the
district will be made bone-dry. Su-
pertntendent of Police Pullman has
made special arrangements to enforce
the prohibition law, assigning thir-
teen police sergeants to the work of
seeing that the law is not violated
The country apparently Is watch
ing with keen interest the operation
of the dry law In the national capital,
When congress meets in December II
will for the first time in the history
OF the country assemble In dry city.
