SEE NEED OF CITY PLANNING
Japanese Municipal Authorities Awake
to Dangers Connected With Con-
uested Centers Of Population.

The remarkable expansion Of jap
anese cities during the last few years
has accentuated the urgent necessity
Of city planning. With this end in
view a conference of the mayors OF
the leading japanese cities has oc-
Cured at Tokyo. Among those present
were the mayors Of Osaka, Yokohama,
Nagoya, Kyoto and Kobe, while Tokyo
municipality was represented by
Messrs. Kabasbima ana OginO.
SIN Tokyo, city planning was set on
foot twenty years ago, about the same
time the question of city planning was
receiving attention in Europe and
America" said Doctor Seki, mayor of
Osaka. in an interview with a Tokyo
Yomiuri representative. I'm Osaka,
however, it is only a few years since
the problem began to claim serious at
tention, although the necessity of city
planning In Osaka is perhaps more ur-
gent than in other cities. The density
of population in Osaka is certainly
greater than in other places and inn
provement in sanitary and other mat
tiers is urgently needed. 1t is esti-
mated that the population of Osaka
twenty years hence viii be 2,650,0OO
and that of the two neighboring dis
trfcts 2,360,00O, making a total of s.
100000. This estimate is based on the
present rate of increase, but it is pos
sible the rate of increase may be
larger. Herein lies the urgent nature
of CITY Manning for Osaka"

How to Mail Cut Flowers.

You have some lovely forget-me-nots
in your garden. You would like Mary
to have some. but she is so awkwardly
far away, Didn't it occur to you that
you could mail them satisfactorily, If
you only knew how? Here's how.
Separate the large bunch into
smaller lunches of perhaps four OF
five flowers. Now wiring out a wad Of
absorbent cotton in salt water-a tea
spoonful TO a pint will be sufficient.
Break the damp wad into smaller
pieces and wrap firmly about the end
of the stems. Finally wrap flower,
stems and all, loosely in newspaper,
wax paper if you have 1t. It is a
good plan, too. to line the box with
the dampened cotton.

MOTOR TRACTORS HELP
Keep Artillery Almost Abreast of Ad-
vance at All Times.

Americans in London who are famil-
lar with late developments In army
methods believe that the American
success in the S~Oissons-C Chateau Thier-
ry counter-offensive was due to their
ability to move heavy artillery for
ward quickly.
Artillery motor tractors, 1t is be-
lieved, are the answer. BY use of he
armored tractor they could keep their
artillery almost abreast of the adj
vance at all times. The tractor is
said to be able to do six miles an hour
over the toughest ground.

HOW JOHN HAS CHANGEDl

How life in Washington changes one!
Here is Johnny Baer, who went to
Washington a year ago, raging grizzly,
returning a playful, clumsy, harmless
bruin with a ring in his nose, and patheti-
cally seeking pats and peanuts from those
whom he was ready to rend a short
twelvemonth ago.
Mr.. Townley's morning organ quotes
him as saying: "By useless middlemen I
do not mean the merchants Of Fargo or
Grand Forks or Wahpeton. I mean the
profiteering spectators of Chicago, New
York and Wall street."
Johnny, Townley won't let you play
around with him if you talk that way.
Don't you know about his Consumers
stores2 Don't you know they are aimed
to eliminate the useless merchant" 2
Here you are, in just one year of Wash
ington, content to patter platitudes about
the "profiteers" Of the big cities, but
carefully eliminating reference to anyone
who has vote. Of course you are on
safe ground. Everyone is against the
"profiteers, but while you are drawing
pictures of fat men in dollar-marked
suits, the government is arresting them
and prosecuting them.
One year in Washington may have
made you look upon everyone west Of the
Alleghanies as pale grey ass from the
plains, but you will have to hand out snap
pier stuff than this to get away with it.
If year in Washington has made you
ashamed Of the Townley-Lindberghl.F Fra

tinue to draw a salary and lecturing per-
quisites through Townley's favor?

the Townley press, should be rebuked by
the voters next Wednesday, if for no other
reason than to demonstrate that lifetime
reputation for honesty cannot be wiped
away by any young puppy who happens
to be doing Mr.. Townley's dirty work at
the time,
It should be answered by Mr.. Steen with
a libel suit that will take crimp in even
the educational propaganda fund.-.
To repeat: The Steen case is exactly
that of man who finds a purse, adver-
tises for it's owner, and when two appear
to claim it makes them prove their claims
He is then accused of theft because he re-
fuses to turn the purse over to either Or
both until the dispute is settled.
Mr.. Steen has the 81 $50 interest money;
he called attention to it himself before any
other official or newspaper knew Of it,;
he has repeatedly offered to turn it over
to either the state or the insurance COM
pany he personally began proceedings to
determine the real owner; the lower court
said 1t belonged to the insurance COM
pany; and the insurance company will get
it if the decision is upheld. That is all
there is to the whole dirty charge, yet The
Leader has the effrontery to say: "a
former state treasurer was convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary for taking
interest money belonging to the state"
