Emperor of Japan Bestows
Fund Upon The Saliva
ton Army.

Word has just reached America
THAT the Emperor of Japan in an
iimperial decree has bestowed an
annual fund upon the Salvation
Army in that country.
The Emperor, in giving this
financial assistance to the Salvation
Army, recognized it as an official
organization and a part of the Jap
anese Empire and has turned over
all uplift work to the men and
women of the Salvation Army Corps.
In | is imperial decree, the En-
peror &c ,lared that he has watched
the work of the Salvation Army
within the confines of Japan for
many years and that it was after a
thorough investigation that it was
decided to make this imperial fund
so as to allow a scope to the Saliva
ton Army in the far east, broadened
with time, and to enlarge its activi-
ties in Japan.
At first the Japanese people were
almost awe stricken by the coming
of the Salvation Army workers into
the land of the chrysanthemum. 1t
was by hard work and diligent eff
forts on the part of the S. A. workers
sent into the interior that they re-
ceived the confidence of the people
and were allowed to proceed with
their work unhampered.
In addition to their work of up
lift and taking care of the i'll and
needy, the Salvation Army has inn
planted in Japan religious seed,
which, in the last few years, has
asserted itself in-the advancement
of Christianity.
The Japanese as a whole were at
first very unfriendly to newcomers
in their own country but now the
giving of large sum of money to
the Salvation Army is absolute
proofof their worth in Japan.

MATTER OF sELF-REspEcr

The Government does not want any
man who actually is financially unable
to buy Victory Liberty Note (short-
term bond) to purchase. But it does
want every man who is able. even by
skimping, to do so. It is. up to the in
dividual to decide this question On
the decision depends whether the in
dividual is patriot or Stacker. The
man who is able and does not buy
cannot have the respect of even him
self.

JIMMY CooN's PANTRY

Now o remember that Jimmy
Coon a a refrigerator in Murraur.
ing Brook. where little William had
strung his fish on q forked stick.
Jimmy Coon also had a pantry, and
where do o think it was? What
a refrigerator in nj place and a pan
try in another, and neither of them in
her own house? You would say,that
was very inconvenient. You know If
the refrigerator was in the cellar,
what a bother it would be. and what
would YOU Mother do If her pantry
was way up in the attic?
Now o see the Coon family must
have had very lovely dispositions.
and they must be a very patient fami-
ly. for the family lived miles from
the top of the tallest pine tree you
ever saw.
III wonderful pantry belonged to
the fish-hawk's and it was their nest.
Here they laid their eggs, and here
their little ones lived: Here the par
ents brought their food. The fish
hawks didn't think it was Jimmy
Coon's pantry at all. but Jimmy Coon
was sure it was his, and, of course,
the difference in point of, view led TO
many quarrels.
Now what the little fish-hawks liked
best of all to eat was fresh fish, and it
was pretty sight to see their father
and mother go fishing to, get those
hungry children Of theirs their break

Jimmy liked to see better than almost
any thing else in the world, and he
