Rice In Japan.
From the Japan Advertiser

From the Japan Advertiser.
There is something almost fanaticaNy
superstitious in the reverence in which
the Japanese hold rice. If the emperor
is the most sacred being under the sun.
rice is of all things on earth the most
sacred commodity-in he eyes of the
Japanese. If a prodigal son squanders
thousands of yen upon geisha. his par
ents may consider it and forgive it as a
folly of youth. but if he willfully throws
away a handful Of rice. he may be gull
lotined and public opinion will pronounce
him served right. The very first lesson
of dinner table etiquette which every
Japanese child learns is to treat rice with
the utmost veneration. If l left vege-
tables, pickles. even the c%ostliest fish.
half eaten. to be thrown away to the
beggar or dog, my parents would simply
say that l hould be shamed OF myself
or something of the sort, but l would
never think of throwing away even a
small cupful of good rice; for I know
through experience that the indignation
which such an act would be sure to
arouse in the parental bosom would be
little short of positively dangerous.
In the pre-restoration days the pie
beians were divided into three classes,
and of these the farmers ranked first.
the mechanics and tradesmen coming
after them. Even proud. powerful Samu-
raj admitted the Importance and estima-
BILE character of farmers. Why? Because
they raised rice-the food OF the gods
and Of the Samurai!

Until Aunt May came to her house
to visit, eight-year-old Marian cried for
everything she wanted. Aunt May
with the intention of curing her niece
formed the habit of singing Gas Marian

One night when father was fussy,
Auntie proved that there was a song
to suit him. Sweetly she sang: "Pack
up your troubles in your old kit bag

A few nights later a bachelor of very

Of other things. Let's turn our thoughts

we need good roads and need them
bad, and hence this stirring pome. For
years we've struggled through the
muck. in WEAKNESS and grief, and only
said. when we were stuck: 1T is no
time to beef" We floundered through
the muddy pools, across the reefs and
bars. and lost U horses and our mules,
and mired our costly cars. We said:
Until this war shall cease, our woes
can't be DISGUST; but. when arrives the
down of peace. Well have good roads
or bust" We've talked SO long Of battle
fronts that we may find it hard to
turn to other, milder stunts; our spir-
its may be Jared. We've rallied so long
at Kaiser Bill that we may think it
stale to talk of grading down a hill.
or filling up a vale. But it is wise to
talk good roads instead OF bones and
blood; the farmers cannot haul their
loads because Of endless mud. There
