here a message of good will and ap preciation from the American people to the Japanese nation. And the
 more than friendly reception which Japan accorded to the distinguished visitors may be left to the recollec tion of most of the gentlemen who are here this evening. This memora- ble visit of the American geltlemen opened up the new path of the ex- change of marks of friendship and demonstrations of mutual attach ment of the two peoples Then the return visit of representative Japan csc business men to the United States. the exchange of featuring pro- fessors, the organization of various associations formed with the object of promoting close relations between the two countries and other under
 takings of a like nature followed with
 out interruption. In the formation of of the Japan American society we
 see another fresh specialization of genuine cordial feelings mutually en- tertained and no one could mistake in predicting a hopeful future for the |felations between the two nations. l am exceedingly happy to see new started organization into the rela- tions of mutual confidence and fra ternal feeling existing between Jap aneSe and Americans"
 Professor J. T. Swift. speaking for the American community in Japan said, that Japan understands Ameri- ca better than America understands Japan, because in all departments of Japanese life were men who had spent their younger years in Ameri- can homes and American colleges
 For their quiet but effective ef forts to make America understood in Japan, we Americans cannot be suf ficiently grateful said Professor Swift. Such men with American experience you have in hundreds. How many men have we in America to ex- plain and extol Japan. Almost none. Americas mistakes in the past have been due to misunderstanding. The future cannot be left to chance. We must see to it that on both sides of the Pacific there are men who can see the good in the other country and tell 1t with strong conviction"

of the advisory commission created to

undertook their further development
when, In Washington, he was made
chairman Of the committee on RAJ
portation and communication,
1t was w. G.. Besler, president of the
Central Railroad of New jersey and a
member of the executive committee of
the American Railway association,
who proposed turning the undertaking
over TO the association. Said he:
1T is the only machinery which ex-
lists in this country for co-ordinating
and handling the various phases of this
problem, the only piece of machinery
which can make itself felt throughout
the country, the only organization
whose voice will be heard and obeyed.
Through it the situation in the far
be controlled as easily and as readily
as can that of the east. Through ii we
can be assured that there will be no
conflict OF motives or of efforts.
1T is the obvious solution of the
problem" continued Mr.. Besler. There
will be a tremendous lot of detail
work to be done, and | don't know
how else we could do 1t. / have never
had any faith In associations of citi-
zens, however patriotic and energetic,
when they undertake work of which
they have no knowledge. This work is
work that needs the greatest planning
by expert traffic men. Every move must
be thought out in detail, and there is
none to do it so well as the association.
For instance, | have friends who
have told of seeing in Germany huge
fan shaped stretches of track just with
in the German border. No trains were
on them. No factories were near. They
lay in waste stretches of country or
country that had been leveled to let
these masses of track lie in a plain.
They We're the termini by aid of which
Germany has been enabled to move
great masses of troops speedily and
without confusion.
These stretches of track were laid
at places which the German board of
strategy has conceived to be turning
points in the event of the war that
came, Now our military experts will
discover just such strategic points for
the concentration of troops without
doubt and will demand the installation
there of these fan shaped termini.
There is no trouble moving freight or
troops. We can move all we shall
ever be asked TO move. The trouble
will be at the terminals"

MONEY in HOGS
LAKE COUNTY FARMER SELLS ~
HEAD FOR $2.755.

Wentworth Enterprise; H.. G..
Larsen, proprietor of the Bonanza
farm adjoining Wentworth, Monday
and Tuesday delivered e~ighty-two
head of hogs at the local stock yards
for which he received a check for
$2,755.
The hogs averaged 240 pounds
each and sold at $14 per hundred
weight. They averaged less than III
months old and brought better than
$50 per head. They were of the
Duroc Jersey breed and were a very
good bunch of hogs.
In talking with the editor, Mr..
Larsen stated that the hogs were
raised on alsike clover pasture where
they earned their living during the
summer. In December they we're
put in the fattening pen and fattened
on corn alone. Most of the hogs
were of April farrow and some of
them as late as May.
Although $14 per hundred weight
is an exceptionally high price for
live pork, il is a fair example of the
larger profits TO be made on the
farm by marketing the grain on the
hoof instead of the wagon box. In
fact, with land soaring we'll above
the 500 per acre mark, it is the
only way farming can be made TO
pay a reasonable profit on high
priced land.

farm help PROBLEM
A GREAT DEMAND FOR HELP
CITY MEN WOULD RATHER
GO HUNGRY.

In an interview today with a man
who is i'm touch with the demand for
farm labor, The Daily Leader learns
that there are more farmers want
ing experienced hands than there are
hands wanting work. The situation
is one that will result in decided en-
barrassment for the farmer by the
time hat the greatly augmented de-
mand of harvest time is at hand. il is
said
For experienced men, farmers are
paying $50 to $35 a month, board
and washing furnished. One man Of
fers $50 for the four months and
$40 for the next four of the usual
eight month term. Nonresident
owners of farms are advertising eX-
tensively in city papers for single
men, or man and wife 10 work on
farms, and, considering the amount
OF living expenses furnished, the
wage is equal to or better than that
OF unskilled labor anywhere.
The postoffice department of the
government is considering an i'm
provement in their labor employment
branch of the service, whereby the
centers of high and low demand for
labor may be better equaliZed. 1t is
also contemplated to urge men OF
strong physique to leave the cities
aud lend their strength to the har-
vesting of produce.
The waste and extravaganza OF the
element known rs labor is deplor-
able. Men in cities. in man-killing
labor. earning enough TO live in
squalid quarters. his family roughly
or insufficiently clothed, knowing
that there is such a thing as the open
country and fields of grains and veg
etables that are for human consump-
ton, remains where he is inert. The
man i'm the city dares not venture.
1t is not wholly the lure OF the city
lit has little of attraction for him
who has no money-it is more the
fear that he can not make good on
the farm. And the lonesomeness
that he foresees will be his portion
IN the country fills his soul with ter
ror. for man is "A gregarious animal,
and deprived of the companionship
is lost.
The country is in a period of un-
equalled prosperity, they tell US. and
labor Is scarce. And yet. i'm cities
there is a very e. approach to a
bread line. There is always an over
plus of that lowest form of labor,
the man who will work at only the
lowest of manual toll. and only in
the cities. To him a farm would be
an abomination, and the small OF
''hick" town a joke. Gaunt famine
itself will not drive him from the
pavements. Still the country de.
mands laborers to take are of its
planting and reaping, still the city

caring for innumerable worthless but
husky, hungry humans.
