JAPAN's PROPOSAL
TAKES FIRST PLACE
Continued from First Page,

quoting an Associated Press dispatch from
Washington is given great prominence in
type ard position by the morning news
papers, and is commented on extensively.
Some papers display contributed articles
setting forth the japanese view of the
Situation.
The bulk of the opinion favors Japan's
proposed action without qualification and
the plea is made in some quarters that
she ought implicitly to be trusted and
given a free hand.
The Times says that while the attitude
of President Wilson and the American
State Department does not seem to be
officially defined as yet, sit is clear from
the important Associated Press statement
that it would be a mistake to regard
President Wilson'S attitude as decidedly
n erse fn JanapeSa intervention

is felt in well informed quarters that
the position of the United States will
be determined by the logic of the stu

which President Wilson always has
! shown to further the best interests of
the allies. The question virtually is
one of ways and means and Of deciding
as rapidly as possible upon a policy
best calculated to secure the end in

The Morning Post says:
Just as the United States was forced
to a policy Of intervention by the Ger
man menace in the west, SO Japan is
reused to activity by the German mem
ace in the east. Japan is entirely
justified by the danger which threatens
her in taking steps to protect her in
terests in Manchuria and Siberia.
IF she is wise she will seek to be
the deliverer of Russia and to aim at
freeing Russia from the German yoke.
| 1t is to be hoped the allies will treat
Japan with confidence and the hearty
spirit of cooperation which she has
the right to expect as an ally. There
should be no niggling and grudging

The Daily News is not surprised by
the widespread cry raised for Japanese
action, but hopes the allies will care

her proposal. 1t contends that the in
PREVENTION of Japan on terms of con-

of conserving Russia's interests.
"Japan's message to Washington
shows she takes the correct view. as"
add the Daily News, American feeling
is understood to be opposed to a Japa-
nese landing. But this view is somewhat
modified by the intimation that joint
action only is contemplated. That con-
dition ought to govern any considers

The Daily Mail, in the course of a

Every intelligent japanese thinks
the mandate for action should be based
on the broad principles Of trusting ia

allies will realize the impractica-
bility of their cooperation in an
enterprise of incalculable possibilities.

trying to satisfy in respect to the Euro-

Some of the newspapers back up their
arguments for Japanese action by en-
phasizing the danger to British inter-
ests in Asia from the threatened Ger
manization Of Russia. The danger, they
say, is equal to. If not greater than that

the terms of the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance. by which japan undertakes to

ARTHUR j. SNEDEKER.

The Message referred to Arthur J.
Snedeker, a former Audrain county
boy, as having been seriously wound
ed at the battle front in France. The
Laddonia Herald mentions late let
ter received from Arthur giving
some of his experiences while on duty
for Uncle Sam in that far-away
country.
While Arthur is in the engineer
corps, he has friends in the aviation
corps. One of them took him for
pleasure" ride. He expressed
wish while flying over the German
lines to throw bomb. He was Civ
en- one and expresses himself thus:
81 had the pleasure of dropping a
bomb on the Germans and seeing it
take effect"
Recently he was moved back
from the position he had been in,
in a dugout The next day a Ger
man shell destroyed his former po-
sition, killing the men who were
holding that place.
One night while in the trenches,
during heavy bombardment, Ar
thur saw kitten walking along the
edge OF the trench. He reached up
his hand and caught the kitten and
put it in his pocket and at last report
still had it. Doubtless it will become
his mascot.

RE KIND TO THE DOG.

To The Editor: Little thought Is
taken of the dog, altho he trusts his
master to the uttermost with a faith
that is wonderful, blind and in
explicable.
He may be cuffed and abused al
most beyond endurance, yet he will
fight and even give his life for his
master.
Regardless of his mistreatment he
is always polite and thanks his mas
ter with his tail for every kind word
he receives.
He eats what is set before him
and asks no questions.
He always tries to please his mas
ter and never talks back, A kind
word and look is highly appreciated
If you have dog, he loves you;
YOU have no rival in his affections
his love is all yours. He misses you
in your absence and rejoices when
YOU return. He deserves your kind
attention. IGNo hAmo9'

THE FABLE OF THE TWO SONS
Who Thought They Could Put Some
thing Over On The Old Man.
(By John CrOsser).

Once upon a time there was a
farmer who owned many, many acres
of fertile land. He and his wife with
their two sons lived very happily and
contentedly on the home farm.
By and by the two sons grew old
er and became possessed of an idea
that they knew more than their fa-
ther, they became dissatisfied. They
soon drifted away to the city and be-
came clerks and wore white collars
and went to see the girls and knew
certain bartenders by name.
The Old Man kept on working and
saving and enjoying life and living
happily.
After several years the boys de-
cided to return to the old home place
and live off of the fruits of their IA
ther's efforts. They spent their last
dime and got home.
On their return they found that
the old farm was one of the show
places of the neighborhood. They
drove out the old familiar road, and
as they came to the top of the old
Sled Hill they saw many fine build
ings, glistening white, and they look
ed at eachother and smiled in an
ticipation.
They are now back in the city.
Henry is working for $40 a month
and Bill is getting $50. Their father
and mother had died before their re-
turn and had willed the old place
with the riches which it had given
forth to the Society for Keeping
Boys at Home on the Farm"
Moral: 'Tis better to live on the
farm and grow fat than to know
bartenders and fast girls in town by
name.

The Laddonia Herald refers to the
town of Farber, this county, as fol-

Farber boasts of having but four
men in town who do not belong to

record, but do these men not belong
to such a society? They should re-
member the money is used to win
the war (their war;.
Farber held a meeting the other
night and voted for electric lights
on the streets and in the stores.
Thru the courtesy of the Farber Clay
Mine they will receive the power
from them until they can make ar
rangements to build a plant of their
own.
The clay mine is now grinding out
clay,and they expect soon to begin
making brick.

A Throbred Gilt, With A Long Pedi-

The Message referred to VIM. l.
Britt last week as making offer of a
fine thorobred Poland China gilt,
Shady Glenn Princess, to be sold at
the Carter-Vandeventer Poland Chi
ma Sale in Mexico on February Q,
the proceeds to be used for the ben
eft of the Red Cross. Mr. Britt has
written L. B. Hawthorne of Mexico,
Campaign Manager for the Red Cross
in Audrain, the following letter:
Rush Hill, Mo-, Jan. 16, 1918
Dear Sir: You probably are aware
of the fact that Messrs. Carter &
Vandeventer are going to hold a
great sale of Poland China sows in
Mexico February 2nd.
You will see by my card that l am
a breeder of Polands, and l am ex-
pecting to see in Mexico that day
one of the greatest crowds of hog
men that ever assembled.
1 have conceived the idea of sell
ling a good gilt there that day, and
donating whatever she brings to
the Red Cross. am donating the gilt
and have secured the privilege of
selling her at auction in that sale.
What l wish you and W.C.John-
son to do is to see that the Mexico
papers give it publicity and am send
ing you a description of her breeding.
Her name is SHADY Glen Prin-
cess" She will sell recorded in the
American Poland China Record. She
is from a good litter of ten (nine
raised), farrowed September is,
1917, is we'll marked and a dandy,
and will weigh 100 lbs. or more by
sale day She is of big type breeding
as any one familiar with Poland Chi
ma pedigrees can see. She should
sell for $35 of $40 and would not
be too high at SIS. Most of my
neighbors >scoff at me if I say a SOW
is worth as much as cow or horse,
but anything is worth just as much
money as it will pay interest on, and
l think a good brood sow will pay in
terest on as much money as any other
animal on the farm.
Hope there will be men in the
crowd generous and patriotic enough
to buy her and donate her back to
the Red Cross. In that way she might
net no telling how much. Inclosed
find copy of pedigree. l am sending
a copy to the record office for rec
ord. She will be in a good shipping
crate, so she can be shipped any
where in America. WIN. 1. BRITT.
The gilt will be there Feb. End.
