Japan In the War.

Japan entered the war because of n
treaty with Great Britain, concluded
in 1902. The original alliance pre-
ceded the Russo-Japanese war. In
1905 the alliance was further extended
to provide for the defense of British
interests In India and Afghanistan,
while England agreed TO give Japan
free hand in Korea. In 1911 it was
again modified by the agreement that
Great Britain should not be bound to
aid Japan against any power with
whom she had treaty Of arbitration
thus excluding the United States as
a possible enemy. The alliance has
been extended to 1921.

This Crop Was a Failure Because the

Just When the Plants Should Have
Begun to Form Ears-PIant SiIagc
Corn Early.
sllage varieties will, by nature, make
ample stalk growth, and because of
early planting will yield more and
ripper grain and make richer and sweet
er ensilage. Early planting supplies
the age necessary for maturation and
reproduction.
Early Cultivation Warns Soil.
Ensilage crops In the North are
made much more profitable when these
two points are observed:
Judge the crop by it's feeding value
and not by it's height or weight. or the
amount of labor necessary to silo 1t.
Although earlier planting necessi-
tates earlier cultivation, 1t pays. Ear.

soil surface. II it remains wet 1t re-

WHY EGGS WERE NOT FOUND
Commission Men Discover Farmers
Were Selling Only Hens Which
Were Loafing on Job.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
When Missouri entered upon her
vigorous poultry culling campaign she
unawares deprived the commission men
of a considerable source of profit.
They had formed the habit of taking
as "clean velvet" the eggs usually
from one to two dozen In each crate),
laid en- route from the country to the
central market.
This winter, when the manager Of
one of the poultry firms which buys
the surplus from Missouri flocks no
iiced that his "boys" were not turning
in the customary number Of frees"
he at once suspected that someone
connected with the plant was apprO-
priating the eggs.
He promptly started an investlga-
ton which reached all the way from
Chicago to Missouri before the guilty
party was found. When the investiga-
tors reached Missouri they soon found
that the farm bureau of this and other
Missouri counties had been carrying
on an active poultry culllng campaign
and that the farmers and poultrymen
were selling the buyers only the hens
which neither had laid or which were
now loafing on their jobs.
The manager Of the Chicago house
now knows why there Is such "sllm
picking in his crates.

Planting ensilage corn last instead

the United States. Strong terminating
seed of ensilage varieties from farther

weeks earlier than the homegrown
seed, which is planted for the produc-

One Of the worst features of acid
stomach is that very often II literally
starves Its victims In the midst OF
plenty. And the strange thing about
1t Is that the people with acid-stomachs
seldom know what their trouble
really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be-. or how much they
eat, they do not gain In strength.
This is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-stomach cannet properly
digest food. Instead of healthy. nor
NAL digestion. the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass of sour, fermented
food. charged with excess acid, passes
into the intestines. 1t becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of germs
and toxic poisons. which In turn are
absorbed into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that Is exactly why II is
that so many thousands of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
nre literally starving in the midst of
plenty. Their acid-stomnchs make II
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure of nourishment out
of their food. And Il doesn't take
long for this poor nouishment to show
its III effects In weakened. emaci-
ated body.
You may say: my stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true because
many victims of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
all kinds of aches and pains--head-
aches, rheumatic twinges, gout. lum-
bago, pains around the heart and in
the chest--whO never draa m that N m

Starving in the
Midst Of Plenty
Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

acid-stomach is the real cause Of tho
trouble.
Naturally. the sensible thing to do
Is to strike right at the very cause Of
this trouble and clean the excess acid
out of the stomach. There is a quick.
easy way to do this. A wonderful new
remedy quickly removes the excess
acid without the slightest discomfort.
II Is EATONIC. Made In the form
Of tablets-they are good to eat-just
like bit Of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid and
carry II away through the intestines.
They also drive the bloat out Of the
body-in fact you can fairly feel 1t
work. Make test of EATONIC In
your own cnse today. Get big box
OF EATONIC from your druggist. See
for yourself how surely II brings uuiC.l
relief In, those painful attacks OF in
digestion, bitter heartburn, belching,
disgusting food repeating. that awful
bloated, lumpy feeling after eating and
other stomach miseries. Danish all
your stomach troubles so completely
that you forget you have q stomach.
Then you can eat what you like and
digest your food In comfort without
fear Of distressing after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you.
II will not cost you one penny. You
can return II to your druggist and get
your money back. So II you have the
slightest question about your health
If you feel you are not getting all
the strength out Of your food--if you
are not feeling tp-top, ready for your
work. full Of vim and vigor-do give
EATONIC fair trial this very day
and see how much better you will feel.

BILLIARD MATCH
 AT BRIDGEPORT CLUB TONIGHT
Cochran and schaefer Open Play in 1,200 Point Match Games Open to Club Members and Friends.

Young Jake Schaefer, son of the former famous billiard wizard" and Welker Cochran will be at the Bridge port club this evening in one of the greatest of billiard contests ever pre- scented in Bridgeport. They will play this evening the first block of zoo points in a 1900 point match at Az balk line, the two other blocks of 400 points each to take place at the AL gonquin club tomorrow evening and at the Seaside club on Saturday even- ing, the winner of the series to take purse contributed by the three clubs.
 Cochran and Schaefer, almost equal in ability, stand at the head of present day billiardists with the single excep- ton of Willie HOppe, and Cochran has been regarded for a year or more as the logical coming opponent of the great Hoppe himself.
 All the games will be open to the members of all three clubs and their friends. Special seating arrangements will be made in each club to take care of the large crowds that are ex- pected. Either player is likely to run 400 or 500 points at any time at the 14-2 game, therefore a long lead by either in tonight's block would not necessarily mean that he would not be 1 behind at the end of the second ses- sion or that the final score would not be close.

to please a man who had spent his life handling handsome fabrics, but 1t would be good business for the cloth ing trade if it could be put over. If men should in any measure return to the time when they thought more of personal adornment and decora- ton, it would sell lots more cloth ing.
 Perhaps there may be some re- action from the tendencies toward frugality that prevailed during the war. One authority says the style makers are going to hand out very loose clothes with wide trousers, Anything that calls for more cloth will not please the men who al- ready grumble at the size of their ciothing bill.
 The average man wants incon. spicuous clothes. He seeks the most modest arrangements of dark blues greys, and browns that the clothina store can provide. But the style makers may be able to get a lot oi the sports to putting on the bright colors for out door life, and the lawn tennis grounds and golf links may yet look like a fancy dress ball.

 The remarkable showing that Sclhaefer has been making in his recent encounters with Weller Cochran has resulted in his gain ing a host of admirers.
 Until this recent series of baIk line matches Schaefer had been devOtng all of his attention to playing the "'red ball game" in the academies of San Francisco.
 Tho packers of Schaefer sent a telegram to HOppe last night The holder of all the balk line cham pionships is playing in MiIwau- kee. It Is not insisted that the title be at stake.
 It is asserted that if Hoppe will consent to the match as much as $1O,OOO can be guaran- teed the winner.

Leading tailors are predicting that men are going to wear very pictures que clothes as they engage in sport and out door life this summer. It is claimed that the soldiers will return from Europe with a desire for a greater variety of shades and colors.
 Many tailors would like to see men wear bright colors for all their dress up clothes, and are constantly trying tc tempt them with ornate samples, Their trade naturally makes them admire handsome fabrics. They may secretly envy the brilliant hues that the women's clothing makers furnish to the feminine world. If the cloth ing makers had their way men would probably wear much more orna- rental styles of dress
