Advance Of Japanese Women.

Japan is making remarkable prog
resS in MI lines Of industry and in tho
development of modern ideas and
thought declared an officer of
the Young W0mcn'S Christian aSSo-
cintion who returned from the FIOwcry
Kingdom short time ago.
Particularly interesting she said, Is
the changed attitude toward tho Jap

mittcd to the big universities in Japan
and given freedom to develop her
self along educational lines that has
heretofore been rigidly denied her.
"This new attitude toward the

MAHUA TREE GROWS ALCOHOL.
Blossom Produced, When Sun Dried,
Contains 60 Per Cent Of Its Weight
In Fermentable Sugar.

Alcohol in these days has attention
from government in diverse ways.
England has had committee studying
the possibilities Of increasing the pro-
ductlon of alcohol to be used in gen
Grating power
The opportunities discussed by the
committee are interesting. OF course,
potatoes, articholles and cereals came
in for attention. But it seems there
are less known sources Of alcohol. For
example, there is the flower Of tho
mahua tree, which flourishes in Hyder-
abad and the central part Of India.
This flower, when sun dried, contains
60 per cent Of it's weight in ferment-
able sugar, and apparently Is to be
gathered by the ton. Then there are
the fertile gases Of the coke ovens.
They are SO rich In surprises to the
everyday man that 1t is not very
startling to learn they contain ethyl
enc, which by synthetic processes
somewhat developed under the stress
of war may he converted into ethyl
alcohol.
With the coal beds about to pro
duce alcohol, and the trees of India
fairly blossoming with it, the man with
motorcar may quiet the fears arous
ed by the scientists figures (which
show that we are within sight Of tho
end Of petroleum and gasoline. There

To Extingulsh Fires In Coal Mines.

The mud-jct seems toS"have been
found especially adapted to extinguish-
Ing fires in coal mines. but it Is liable
to be ineffciently applied. A recent
Investigation shows that lime and clay
should be included In the mud. The
usual success Of the mud-jet In con-
trolling fire Is largely due to the ac-
tlon Of these cement materials In con-
solidating loose particles, and closing
gas-cmittlng openings by forming q
cake over them. The refuse dust from
the cleaning Of blaSt-furnacc gas. boil
er ash, siftcd earth, and even combus-
tiblc products like the refuse OF coal
washing. may make up The bulk of the
mud. A tank OF mud with gravity
discharge Is suggested as the ordinary
firc-iighting plant, though steam or
compressed air may be used.

POLITICS
By The Occasional Prophet

The friends OF Senator Spencer, OF
Missouri. are taking the mention of
his name for the Republican nomi-
nation for the Presidency much more
seriously than he is. The strategic
position OF the Senator is appealing
to many in the party. Hard-boiled
party leaders say that anyone who
could beat Joe Folk in Missouri has
big political possibilities in him. Sen
ator Spencer is actually the type OF
man who never gave any serious
thought to personal political prefer
ment until he was prevailed upon to
take the senatorial nomination last
fall. Several OF the biggest Repub-
hCan leaders in Missouri talked with
him for days before he would con-
sent to run. Occupying a high place
in his home city. st. Louis; having
a profitable law business, and enjoy
ing home life to the highest degree
he had not been touched by the po-
ltical appeal that Crasps most men.
Now that he is in public life. he has
admitted to friends that he enjoys It.
They are hopeful that he likes It
well enough to consent to the use of
his name in the 1920 convention.
Gov. James P. Goodrich. OF Indiana,
was here last week. He is another
OF the Republicans who is being
counted upon as available Vice Pres
idential timber. He is making a good
executive. His forte. however, is
party management. To him. more
than to anyone else. belongs credit
for the efficiency Of the Indians Re-
publican political machinery. Ma
tional Chairman WEI Hays was edu-
Gated in the Goodrich school Of po-
litical manaSement He was long
closely associated with Gov. Goodrich
and it is likely that he has injected
Goodrich ideas into the national COM
mittee work more extensively than
most men realize.
Now that a distinct Presidential
boom has been launched for Secre-
tary Daniels. 1T is interesting to OBJ
serve the praise which is coming
to the North Carolina editor from
various sources. thinks the Fourth
Estate, one of the leading news
paper journals of the country.
While Washington has not taken
the Daniels boom launched in
Hawaii with any great seriousness,
il is pointed out that there are
things in the Secretary's favor
which make his name likely to be
among those prominently featured
at the coming Democratic conven-
tion.
With the country on a prohibition
basis, credit in a large measure
must go to the Secretary of the
Navy for his vigorous fight against
liquor and the advertisement that
the cause received through his ac-
tion in eliminating it from the
navy.
Secretary Daniels also came out
strongly for woman's suffrage be-
fore any member of the admins
tration was aligned with the cause
He has always been progressive
and forehanded. so that the Navy
Department was ready with the
outbreak of the war to cope with
the emergency in a manner un-
equalled by any other branch of the
government.

Dave Rankin assisted by other
Federal Agents went to the
home of A. L. Workman. three
miles east Of Sandstone, last
Thursday afternoon and arrested
Mr.. Workman and his brother,

claimed that the Federal author

they know their best cow, yet
few of them really do. But more
than that, a daily milk record
calls your attention to small
changes in milk flow so that you
can look up the cause and reme-
dy it before the cows production
gets down where it cannot be
brought up again. The efforts
of irregular milking, irregular
feeding, exposure to cold winds,
ETC., are easily seen on the record
sheet, but they are not noticed
where no records are kept.
It's not question of time, it's
question of handling the dairy
work in whichever way will net
the most returns on the labor
and capital invested. Weighing
each cows milk and marking it
down on a convenient sheet re-
quires less than one minute per
COW. Any farmer, who keeps
records, will tell you that he
makes more money on that time
by keeping records than he does
on an equal amount of time
spent on any other farm opera
ton. Labor, capital and equip.
ment are too expensive now-a-
days to take chances on guess
work. When help is scarce it is
all the more important that we
spend what time we have to the
best advantage.
