FOREIGNERS IN
Japan ANNOYED
BY DETECTIVES

TOKIO.-Referring to the sensi-
tiveness of the japanese authorities
about the movement of suspicious
foreigners" who arrive in this coun-
try, the Jill says that no doubt the
authorities are wisely careful to
prevent the influx of such danger
Gus ideas as Bolshevism and Social
ism, but the result is that foreign
ers who are very favorably inclined
toward Japan are not infrequently
subjected to a system of vexatious
spying or shadowing.
The Jill relates that recently an
American whose name is well known
in business and economic circles in
America, while on his way from
Nagasaki to Toxic, is said to have
been subjected to examination at
the hands of half a dozen different
detectives. The American, who is
a friend of Baron Shibusawa, in
the course of an interview with him,
drew his attention to what had &C.
CURED during his journey, and said
that such an experience. if suffered
by other foreigners, is likely to send
them away with very unfavorable
impression of Japan.
The Jill also refers to the case
of DR.. Frederick Starr. professor
at Chicago university. who is well
known among the japanese by thu
name of "Ofuda Hakase" or Charm
Doctor, owing to the great interest
evinced by him in the collection of
charms from the japanese temples.
The American professor recently ar,
rived in Japan. AS soon as DIR.
Starr landed at Yokohama the local
police authorities instructed police
officer to follow him to Toxic. Later.
when DR.. Starr left for trip to
Mount Full, the police authorities
supplied, unasked, police escort to
the American visitor, and the Of
hcer accompanied him all the way
to the top of the mountain. DR..
Starr is at present staying at kozu
and his residence, says the news
paper. is unnecessarily closely
watched by the lynx-eyed police.
The Jill adds: at is the height
Of absurdity that the Japanese au-
thorities should evince suspicion
about the movements of such men
and detail detectives to keep watch
over them"

If the extended use of the tele-
phone indicates a high degree of
enterprise and intelligence. then
America has a good right to be
proud.
Chicago has more telephones than
all France; KANSAS City more than

AMONG THE AUTOISTS

The first of the new Ford Liberty starter built and install ed by the Ford company came to Brinkley Friday last on a Ford closed car received by the St. Francis Motor Go. It is a dandy and starts the car at the first touch, furnishes lights, etc. It solves the problem for those who have anxiously wait ed for something of the kind on the wonder cars and Manager Abernathy is taking orders fast. The starter costs only $50 ex- tra.
 LATER This car has been bought by Mayor Greenlee who sold his old Ford and who is delighted with his new car.

Tanks pushing the Victory Loan on tn. 30th of April and those Hunter boosters are counting on having a great crowd in their town on that day.
 After repairing a blow out the Argus car pulled out for Brinkley at 5:20 and just as reached the Francis Ranch noticed big 12 inch stream of muddy water spouting up from a new well which they had just brought in and was being tried out for the first time. G. R. Kennedy, the Hunter well man, done the work and was turning on the steam and watching her clear up. The Senior MT. Fran cis was smiling as was his fine looking young soldier son, Ross who is just back from the arny and is taking hold of things on the ranch with a fine vim and spirit. The army life didn't have any effect on Ross Francis for the farm, as it is said to have done with so many boys from the farm.
 The new well is 13O feet deep and is showing perfect re- suits. Said MT. Francis, 'It cost only $2,250 and I got it cheap enough"
 Stopping along the road, .the ladies in the party, soon had the car filled with beautiful wild flowers, dog wood blossoms, etc to use for floral decorations. These were the first wild flow CTS of spring and the balmy at mosphere, together with the beautiful bright sunshine, the splendid roads, the music of the song birds and delightful company, made this trip of the Sunshine Special a most de- lightful one.
 The next trip will probably be to the south country. Am anxious to see whether Harry Harris has sold his cotton and whether or not they're started on that elegant new school building at ShilO.

Women and HousecieaninQ.

When a woman returns from a months visit she says, "Oh, how 1 dread to begin cleaning up this house." But she doesn't. You can tell by the glee with which she seizes the broom and the duster and stirs up a great cloud of dust that she is now realizing that which she has eagerly anticipated all the time she was away. There is nothing a woman enjoys so much as kicking up a dust. For the dust is sure to come down again, and the source of fun is never exhausted Kansas City Star.

 Down at the Hunter Drug & Mercantile Go. 1 found a house full of people buying bargains to beat the band. There was an air of progressiveness there that would drive the gloom bug into seclusiOn. A small army Of clerks were busy as could be selling from most inviting stock. Doc Matthews and Geo. Scuddamore, of the company, were smiling as the trade went on.
 At the Hunter post office met A. B. Wire, who has the dis tinction of having started something at Hunter that bids fair to be a big help. Several weeks ago he shipt a car load of 124 hogs from Hunter to Ne braska for feeding purposes and for which he paid the own CTS II cts a ID. on foot. Later he and c. V. Caple joined ln shipping another car load of 129 and now they are about to finish another. You can have some idea what this means when a car at this price brings about $1S00. Friend Wire says that they would much rather pay the hog owners 15 cts. per pound for fat hogs than pay II cts. for feeders.

Then turning to me, he said: My enemies have done their utmost to degrade and disgrace me. l have been made to appear fool and an imbecile, then l am not responsible for my actions.

LOOK IT up

IT linking men and women will do well to con-
slider the striking arguments brought out by
the World Trade Club of San Francisco in their
campaign for adoption of the units of the metric
system of weights and measures.
They show striking anomaly: That the met
ric system was invented by Briton, James Watt,
in 1888, and yet all civilized nations have adopted
it exclusively excepting the United States and
Great Britain.
That the so-caed British system" of weights
and measures is of German origin-a relic Of the
old German Hanseatic trade league-and yet Ger
many scrapt it in 1871 and adopatd the metric
system, invented by Briton.
People of Britannia and America may well ask
themselves whether they are not carrying conserv-
atsm too far.
The Metric System is untred theory.
It's principe-the principle of decimal compu-
tation--has been used in the monetary system of
the United States since 1876. If the United States
had needed Thomas Jefferson, we should also have
adopted this system of weights and measures
based on decimes--so simple system that a
child can learn its main features in ten minutes.
We know how well it works with money. 1t will
work equally well with weights and measures.
The World Trade Club has started the ball
rolling What all need is to look the subject up.
