JAPAN OPEN TO IDEAS
Freedom Of Thought Is Now Gaining
Favor in Orient.

TdNUE UIlcNts
BY United Press.
TOXIC, Aug. l (by maiD Japan is
all in readiness to welcome the new
ideals of the world developed by the
war. Japanese opposition to introduc-
tion of the ideas that changed world
conditions have created would take
the country back into feudal days, ac-
,cording to NJ Nakabashi, minister of
education.
1.-THE propagation of democratic
ideals, which the war has brought in
its train, has given an impetus to the
rise of new ideas in Japan, where
freedom of thought has long been sub
ject to regulations. This is a salts
factory sign Of the times" he says.
"It must be remembered, however,
that bad, as we'll as good ideas are
apt to find their way here. AS the
constitutional ideas of the people are
still undeveloped, there is danger of
their becoming contaminated with
radical ideas.
in my opinion the so-called new
ideas are prevalent only in restrict
ed section of society and are not SC
dangerous as some fear. If influx ol
all foreign ideas is to be prohibited
owing to their possible baneful nature
that will mean reversion to the feudal
days when Japan was isolated from
foreign intercourse and the import Of
all foreign ideas was zealously
guarded"

dence. Work and play are combined
IN achievement. The boys and girls
are trained for community leadership,
and the community is socialized. All
IN all, the farm is made more profit
able and more tolerable by the move
ment
Ihrlft is taught, too. Some years
ago bank in this state lent money to
2oo boys and girls to buy live stock.
Now 16O of those boys and girls have
accounts at that bank. 1t is a practi-
cal, made-in-America brand of educa-
ton.
Mr.. Wright said he was particularly
impressed by the eagerness evinced
by the boys and girls to enter the
work as soon as they learned of it,
and the measures some of them take
in order to win their parents over.
Weighed Pig With Small Scales.
know one lad in the Ozarks
wEose father said the only condition
en- which he might enter a club was
that he weigh his pig. There were
no scales at the farm except a pair of
| small twelve-pound ones at the house
and none of the neighbors owned
scales. 1t was several days before
the boy hit on the plan that won for
him. He tied box on each end of
two-by-four board, balanced the
board across fence and put his pig
in one box and enough rocks in the
other box to balance the pigs weight.
He then weighed each of the stones
and totaled their weights
Mr.. Wright said that each member
of club is required to keep a record
of the work done and at the compile
ton of the work must write a story
covering every phase of it.
Harvey Carpenter, a 15-year-old
Marshall boy, who has been in the
club work for three years, now owns
a hog house and twenty-one head OF
pure-bred Poland Chinas," he said
And when l visited the Carpenter
farm he showed me an unique self
feeder he had invented by fastening
Ia barrel, open at both ends, to an ole
corn planter wheel"

Wright, so he bought fine male pis
rom a farmer at the fair for $125
that he might start good herd o

No Notice Having Been Received
to Put on Penalties Re-
turns Are Accepted.

Income tax returns are still being
received at the office of the collector
Of internal revenue at room 20S. Sec
ond floor OF the federal building. The
number of callers at that office yes
terday was nearly as great as
throughout last week.
No definite advice concerning tn.
penalty that was to have been attach
ed after March Is has as yet been re-
ceived by District Deputy NJ. C. Ellis.
In charge Of the local office, and un-
til some such notification is at hand
the returns will continue to be re-
ceived as usual.
A letter from the office Of J. NJ.
Cathcart. Jacksonville internal reve-
nue. collector for this state. advises
that the office here pc kept open and
that every assistance possible be given
those who have made out the tenta-
tive returns In making out the orig
inals.
It is expected that within a few
days an itinerary will be announced
for the two assistant deputies here
with Mr.. Ellis. These men. B. H. Dick
son and G.. w. Webster, will cover
West Florida territory on dates to be
announced. as they did just prior to
March Is.
Until notice is given that the pen
atty provision will be enforced, it Is
assumed that very probably it will
not. Therefore all who have not yet
made out their returns may escape
the penalty by attending to this at
once. Advices to enforce the penalty
NAV he recefyed at any time or this
matter may be determined by the COM
missioner making the assessment from
the returns.

LOAN
MAY NOT HAVE
Wide DEMANDS
Federal Reserve Board Bulletin
Says Short Terms Notes
Prove Unpopular.

Washington. March 17-Doubt that
the Victory Liberty loan. consisting Of
short term notes, will meet as wide
distribution as past issues Of longer
term bonds. was expressed by the fed
eral reserve board in it's March bull
letin isued today. The discussion was
written before the Victory loan act
was passed by congl ess and before
Secretary Glass announced definitely
the forthcoming loan would consist
Of notes.
"Short term securities are not on
the whole as well adapted for invest
ment by private individuals an long,
er term isues." said the reserve boards
bulletin. while financial custom has
usually dictated the absorption OF
short term ISSUES by investment in
stitutions.. Practically. therefore. the
alternative plan (provided in the bond
act) would tend toward the placing
Of greater volume of the new issues
definitely in the hands Of the banks
and investment institutions through
out the country and les in the hands
OF private individuals.
Wide Sale Difficult.
"This Is equivalent to saying that
It may probably be more difficult to
obtain q wide distribution Of the fifth
loan II it be offered in the form Of
short term notes than IL it be sold as
longer term bonds. The alternative
plan also would tend to MAKE ,.As
whole operation more transitory and
temporary In its working than would
the original plan OF q bond Issue. It
would necessarily imply that the ear
" maturity OF the notes must be look
I'D forward to and that an extensive
operation must take place |
when such maturity arrives.
