The McIlvaineCox Realty Com.

Thousand dOllOrs for private eli

This firm does an extensive farm

Baca counties and are in position
to offer the most attractive PROPOSE

The many owners OF the land who
have heretofore been handicapped
in the work of improving their
lands by inability to secure loans,
are now making many new improve.

GRASS AND WEEDS
SHOULD BE CUT
On GreenwOOd's Vacant Lots and
Along the Sidewalks-But Who's
To Blame?

Daily complaints are made at The
Commonwealth office concerning the
neglect. of property owners and ten
ants in the matter of not cutting or
having the grass and weeds cut on
their vacant lots and along sidewalks
in front of their houses.
We quite agree with those who reg
lister these complaints to US and re-
specially refer them to the city auth
critics as to the proper source from
which to get relief for their griev-
ances They invariably reply, Whats
the use?. Complaints have been worn
threadbare in appeals to the city auth
critics."
This is a pretty bad state of at
fairs If the city has no Ordinance to
compel people to have the grass and
weeds cut on vacant lots and along
sidewalks, it is high time for GU
Commissioners to prepare and adop'
one and then see to it that the sale
Ordinance is vigorously enforced.
Grass and weeds neck high to {
giraffe are not only unsightly but arr
q menace to the health of men, womel
and children-and the truth about tn
matter is, people should not wait t.
be forced by law to perform a dut!
which they owe to themselves AM
their families.

TOXIC, Sept 8-The suggestion
that Japan purchase the Philippine is
lsnds from the United States and the
East Indies from Holland - q
means Of solving the problem Of ia
pans ever growing population is made
the writer in the Herald Of Asia,
conservative japanese weekly jour-
nal. The writer contends Japan il
bound to expand territorially rs abe
is expanding in population. Pointing
out that the population has more than
doubled in the last fifty years, being
now over 57;Oo0,o0O, he estimates that
at the same rate Of interest the pop
ulation will in another fifty years
have reached 114,OOO 600.
1t is not too much to hope, he argues
that "some day justice and destiny
will decide that all the islands on this
side Of the Pacific, north Of the equ-
ator, will come under the jurisdiction
Of Japan" He asks the question
whether America intends to keep out
Japanese emi4rants and still hold the
Philippines permanently. If not, why
should she not some day sell them to
Japan g.? He adds: Having closed her
own doors to the Japanese. this would
be a gracious act onsher part and one
that would be but naturally expected
from q country boasting Of SO mucl
philanthropy and Christian altruism.'
A for the Dutch East Indies tn,
article contends the Inhabitants At,
more akin to the Japanese than t.
Holland and that Japan could admin
lister the islands with greater benefit
on the whole to the people and Il
herself than could Holland which
moreover, Is A"smsll country untroub

1t is pointed out also that the Dutcl
East indies from the southern line o
Japan's defences and that more thai
once the independence Of these island
has made them = menac to her safe

After remarking that the Japanes
do not like to settle in cold climate

H SOLDIER BOYS
NEED THAT 5000
Daily Inquiries Made As To When
The Proposed Donations Are To
Be Given Them.

Every day inquiries are made at
The Daily Commonwealth office by
returned soldier boys from the World
War relative to the subscriptions
made by the citizens of Leflore coun-
ty to the proposed fund to give each
of said soldier boys $4,000 as a tok-
en- Of appreciation Of the patriotic
service rendered in behalf of their
country in the great overseas victory
for worldwide Democracy.
The only answer we have been able
to give these young men is that the
committees appointed to raise the pro-
posed fund have not completed their
work. The Greenwood committee, we
understand, succeeded in securing
contributions sufficient to cover the
city's prorata of the fund, and the
money was turned over to the treas
urer. AS to the remainder of the
county, it was decided to defer the
matter of soliciting the subscriptions
until this fall, when money matters
would probably be easier and contri-
buttons would be more freely made
to this praiseworthy cause. .
The proposition to give the soldier
BOYS $4,000 each in cash instead Of q
big celebration was made in good
faith, and it's now up to US to make
good-even if some Of us are com
PEELED to double our subscriptions to
the fund.

need it again-and we should not fur
