JAP FARMERS GET
RICH WAR PROFITS
(By United Press.

Toxic, Aug. 1O.-(By Mail.)-Jap-
anese farmers have long purses, we'll
filled as a result of war prosperity
which has come to them since last
autumn, according to G.. Shimura,
president of the Hypothec Bank of
Japan. 4"
A year ago, these farmers seemed
inextricably burdened with debt, ow-
ing their banks an aggregate of
$500, 900, 900, and being compelled to
pay a yearly interest of $7,50O,000,
Shimura said. Today the farmers
have taken up $12,500,000 of these
loans, are making almost no further
requests for loans, and are buying
heavily of Hypothec Bank debentures
of the smaller denominations. From
) being insistent borrowers, they have
become transformed into investors.
For three years, the Japanese en-
ployed in industries reaped the chief
gains from the war. Last fall, the
tables turned. Prices of rice, raw
silk and tea were lifted upward by
the war demand, and have stayed up.
The result is the unparalleled pros
perity of Japanese farmers. On the
other hand, these high prices have
created a heavy demand for small
loans in industrial communities, as
factory workers have felt the pinch
of the higher cost of living.
Since prosperity has attended the
life of farmers, deposit rates of banks
in the provinces have become much
lower than those of town banks. De-
posits with cooperative clubs in
agricultural districts also are in
creasing with astonishing rapidity,
President Shimura said. With far
mers so we'll provided with funds, and
with prospects good for even great
income from the coming harvests, it
is expected that the greater part OF
any issue of government bonds, such
as to meet expenses of the expedition
to Siberia, will be purchased by the
rice, silk and tea farmers of Japan

CONGRESS QUICK TO
CLOSE 0LIVER'S SALOONS

Washington, Sept 10.-Without a
dissenting vote, the house passed,
after a few minutes consideration,
the senate resolution empowering the
president to establish prohibition
zones around munition factories,
mines, shipyards and other war-pro-
ducing plants.
This is the resolution introduced in
the senate by Senator Kellogg with
special reference to closing saloons at
Oliver, Wis. It is small village of
about 80 persons and when the sa-
looms were ousted from Duluth and
Superior saloonists and other liquor
men started booze joints in the tiny
village which is near Duluth and Su-
perior and without the banned circle
1t imm ediately became sodden mass
with the flow of liquor. Oliver is a
manufacturing center, having large
steel plant, and became the rendezvous
for a sordid aggregation. So fragrant
did it become that national legisla-
tors and state officials carried the sit
uation to the national congress.

z QUARTS OF BOOZE
into BRANDT'S CLUTCHES
AT EARLY MORNING HOUR

One of the most pathe etic sights in
Bemidji this forenoon was the con-
tents of two trunks in the clutches
Of ]. B. Brandt, chief Of the Indian
agents, the contents being u quarts
of perfectly good booze, reposing in
the back Of a perfectly docile jitney.
A few of the friends of Mr.. Brandt
happened to spy the car and its load
with Brandt at the wheel. He cour-
teously stopped while the friends
gathered around the car and it's pres
ious cargo. 1t was evident some of
the bottles in the boxes had been
damaged and there were several long
breaths taken on the part OF the
mourners as they recalled days lang
lyme.
1t was indeed, pathetic.
Two trunks, innocently strayed
over the N. p. into Bemidji at 4:30
o'clock this morning. On the trunks
was an address and the destination
International Falls. Poor 1nterna-
tional Falls. Like Mound hot up
on the trail of rabbit, the Indian
agent chieftian, aided by Agent
"Tom' Void, landed upon the inno-
cent appearing trunks from which
emanated the odor of law violation
and the locks were forced. And there
was revealed SO quarts Of Clearbrook
Bourbon in one trunk and 36 quarts
of the same brand in the other trunk.
And International Falls will cough
hoarsely with parched throats, for
the booze was taken from the train
and will be ticketed to st. Paul and to
the Public Safety commission for de-
ctrurt ion

For minutes, maybe hours?"
st. Peterll smile and stretch while

While sweat drops will roll off Bill
In torrents that's no joke.
Then Peter'll rise and bat his eyes
And swing the old gate wide.
So Berlin Bill can get his fill
