PROHIBITION WAVE OF AMERICA FELT
 ACROSS PACIFIC
Movement in Japan to Stop Manufacture of Sake, the
 National Drink.

Tokio, June 15.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press). The prohl- bition movement in the United States has been followed in Japan by the launching of a project to stop the manufacture sake, Japan's national alchoholic drink, which is distilled from rice.
 The end of the war has brought no check to the steady increase m the price of the necessities of life and the soaring cost of rice, which is the sta pie food of the Japanese people, is be- coming a grave problem for the gov ernment. Last year the high price of rice led to serious riots throughout the empire.
 The Japan Temperance society has presented a memorial to the govern ment urging the prohibition of the making of sake. The organization points out that about 15,O00,O0O bush els of rice are consumed annually m it's manufacture. With the popula- tion of Japan increasing at the rate of 600,0O0 yearly and the national crop falling on account of the de crease of rice lands through civic and industrial expansion, the organization asserts that the enormous quantity of rice used in distilling sake might be turned to better use by distribut- ing it as food for the people.
 Emperor Yoshihito IS said to be deeply concerned over the living con- ditions of his people. Though his lord chamberlain has recently ordered the governors of the different pro- vinces to investigate the charges in the thought of the masses, the cost of food for the middle and labor clas- scs and the general industrial situa- tior throughout the empire. The clseontent of the masses of the peo- pie is seriously occupying the gov ernment which is trying to devise a means of relieving the situation.

TIPS TO DISAPPEAR WITH BOOZE, SAYS
 THIS HOTEL MAN
President of Ohio Association Expects to See Waiterless
 Cafes.

Chicago, July 12.-With the going out of intoxicating liquor, the coun- try is also likely to go on the tip less" basis, according to A. C. Steph- ems. president of the Ohio Hotel As soclation, who is in Chicago, arrang- ing for the convention of his assocla- tion to be held in connection with the Hotel Show here during the week of August 4th.
 q think the day of "tips" IS over" said MT. Stephens. With the Eur opean source of supply practically cut off, it is hard to get walters. 50 the hotels have been more and more carefully considering mechanical de- vices to take the place of servants.
 Tt is surprising to note how many really good hotels have installed cafererias. 1 predict that more of them will do so. The cafeteria, as you know, is strictly tipless instl- tion. Even in the dining rooms, where there is service, the movement to- wards doing away with walters is making rapid strides. There are all sorts of mechanical devices for this purpose. A mechanical system for checking hats and wraps has already been devised and, l am sure, will soon come into general use.
 With the going out of liquor, and the curtailing of tips in consequence of this, walters will be asking a wage scale two or three times as great as the present one, and the ho' tel men simply can't afford to pay it. /

Farmer Finances
 Crop With w. $. $.

Little Rock, Ark, July 12.-"De Ducks," which an Arkansas tenant farmer of African descent had blam- ed with getting all has crop money af- ter the landlord "deducts" for meat, and "decucs" for meal, etc., have bothered good many white farmers as well. After making chattel mort gage and making a crop, they have often made a failure on the years finances.
 A white farmer who owns his own place has been giving chattel mort gage each season to finance his crops until this year. Then along came the government with it's great savings and thrift campaign and showed him way to independence. He accepted the op- portunity and it has solved his finan- cial problem. This is how R. $. Granger, president of the Citizens Bank, of Harristown, Arkansas, in a letter to state director, Morehead l Wright, of the w. s. Loan Organiza- l tion, relates the story: "I know a man who owns and lives 1 on small mountain farm who for long time each year had executed a chattel mortgage on his team and oth- CT personal property in order to get enough money to raise and harvest his crop. He is good man and has never Intentionally been eXtravagant. But his small earnings each year have been expected before the time arrived 1 for raising the new crop. This man is a fair representative of large class in arkansas.
 ''In 1918 this man bought his quota of War Savings Stamps. It pinched him little, but he was a patriotic citizen and he did not fail when called on. In 1919 this same patriotic small farmer raised his crop for the first time without executing chattel mort gage. He cashed his stamps as he had right to do, and with the pro- ceeds, made his crop.
 "This farmer has learned his pro fession in thrift, and in 1919 he is again investing in War Savings Stamps with the avowed purpose of cashing them in 1920 and using the proceeds. He says War Savings Stamps are more to his liking than chattel mortgages
