Nevertheless q crisis did exist and
was tided over by the bold shrewd-

the same warfare between Japan and
the west coast. Then the influx of
Jap labor had reused San Francisco

Frisco authorities. He frightened
them into compliance and suppressed
q blaze that might easily have
kindled into war.
Conditions on the west coast have
not changed except to have become
more acute. The crusade against the
Japs is as strong and determined
there as the outcry Of the Japanese
students for racial equality and
recognition is strong and active in
Japan. The invasion has flooded out
from San Francisco and the labor
centers and brought the fruit farmers
and ranchers into line Of opposition.
Just how and to what extent the
compromise may be made does not
seem plainly evident.

There was an hour or more before
1t came time for Billy and his band
to repeat the performance of TIE at

Col. Blue Nose Madrill and the rest
OF the scheme that had been Matched
to kidnap him, and you can easily
believe that he had no trouble in get
ting the monkeys to agree to his plan
to thwart it. In fact, Billy had to
caution them specially not to go
too far. Colonel Mandrill said right

THE COUNTRY NEEDS SUCH GIRLS.

A Marshall county young woman
won something much bigger than
place on the All-America football
team when she took first place as the
most competent member Of the
home economics and canning clubs OF
Iowa. Make your manners to Miss Ida
Molloy, aged II, of Albion.
This young woman put up in cans
forty varieties of foods in 1866 cans
this summer and fall. She told how
she did 1t and the methods that she
found most successful better than
any other was able to tell 1t. So the
state fair judges awarded her the
premier honors and she goes to the
International Live Stock exposition
at Chicago as a prize trip. Later
she is going to college having been
graduated from the home school.
Still later 1t is safe to assume that
she will take up her share OF the
duties Of home and family. She
will know how to make 1t and keep
it. If she shall be unable to secure
hired girl who has been undetermined
into a maid" there will be something
fit to eat at her house Just the same.
She will be what we hear mention
ed as "a capable woman" And the
homes of capable woman" are In
variably good homes with contented
and capable families in them. If you
| have noticed very few capable wo!n-
en-" appear in the divorce courts. II
you haven't noticed take notice. The
ability to keep house is as necessary
to home happiness as the ability to
ito win the necessities of home. 1t
| is MT a little matter that makes or
unmakes an education. It's q mighty
good thing for girl to know. A man
who can't earn a living hasn't any
business posing as the head OF a
family. Not less the woman who can
not keep house has any business as
the presiding goddess of the home.
Poor meals and slateernly house
keeping put Cupid on clutches.
We need more Ida Malloys in the
world. The present needs them and
the future is dependent upon them.
This is day of specialization. IL
people are to succeed they must know
their business and professions. And
this ability and skill to run home
without absolute dependence on
hired help" is both business and
profession.
Take college bred girl who knows
how to cook and can keep house,
bright, cultured, efficient--well what
more could an ambitious and forward
looking young man desire in help
meet.

STATE PRINTING DILEMMA.

STATE PRINTING DILEMMA.
tDes Moines Capital
In regard to public printing the
state OF Iowa is In peculiar posi-
ton. For more than fifty years the
state printing and binding were
done by state printer and a state
binder. These officers were elected
every two years by the general as
sembiy. Each officer WAS required to
equip his own establishment without
expense TO the state. The prices to
lie paid for printing and binding were
fixed by law, being periodically
changed. The impression was spread
abFoad that the state was paying
more than a fair price for printing
and binding and the system was
changed. The offices we have named
We're abolished and the printing and
binding We're let by contract. How
ever. maximum prices were fixed be-
You'd which bidders could not go. The
coming of high prices revolutionized
everything and printers and binders
would not bid on the work. This is
the situation today. The state is in
needfef printing, most of which cam

was expected to be heavy indicates
that the social revolution which the
radicals predicted to be imminent
was figment Of tho imagination.
One red adged, ire-eating radical
makes more noise than a thousand
respectable law-abiding Americans,
and thus the number Of radicals Is
greatly exaggerated. Because they
are comparatively few makes them
none the less undesirable. Had there
been great surging protest against
society yelling up in the hearts Of
the people, there was an excellent
means of expression last Tuesday. A
heavy vote for Debs would have
served as warning, even had Il not
been enough to elect him, but it
failed to mlterialize. Victor Berxer.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

I'm some instances. such as the gov
ernor. the incumbent might be made
ineligible for reelection to succeed
himself. thereby destroying in a
large sense the desire OF building up
political machines thru the influence
Of the office"
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil says
occasionally man is found In Iowa
who thinks Nate Kendall Is not
strong gubernatorial timber. These
fellows mistake modesty and n pleas
ing personality for weakness. Ken
dali will be stronger in Iowa two
years hence than he was in the recent
election. He had two handicaps in
the late campaign which will not
bother him in future"
Some people are preaching the
funeral of the democratic party. Such
a ceremony is entirely premature"
says the Des Moines Capital. 1.-The
democratic party is not dead A
party that has suffered innumera BILE

Civil service is alright for the

MARY PICKFORD AT THEATRE
SATURDAY NIGHT, FEB. IA

How a girl recruited the sturdy
Kentucky night riders is shown in
Heart o. the Hills" adapted from
the story by John Fox, Jr., in which
Mary Pickford will be seen at the
Montpelier Theatre tomorrow after
noon and night This attraction is
Miss Pickford's latest picture from
the First National Exhibitors cir
cult and is produced in her own stu
do 1t follows closely the big sue
cesses mady by Miss Pickford in the
production of Daddy Long Legs"
and the "Hoodlum." Heart o. the
Hills comes to the Montpelier thea
tire direct from Boise where it had
a most sensational run. Boise thea
tire goers declared it to be the best
picture they have seen in long time.
AS Mavis Hawn, mountain girl,
Miss 'Pickford is given a part cal
ling for great versatility. Probably
in no other picture in which she has
starred has she ever been called up
on to depict so many roles, which
demand that she act the murderess,
the school gorl, the society girl and
various other characters.
The story hinges about the efforts
Of Mavis to avenge the death of her
father. In arriving at the solution OF
the murder it is necessary for her tc
overcome many obstacles, chiefly
those Of city grafters, unwholesome
parental influences and an unscrup
ulous mountaineer who marries hel
mother.
Despite the scores of dramtic in
cidents in the picture there is ampl,
opportunity for Miss Pickford t,
weave in humorous comedy situa
lions in most interesting and time
ly manner.

government; they wish Russia to be
play thing in the hands of interna-
tionalism
Japan can do no other than to
guarantee herself against possible
nation losses and enter her histor-
zeal path distinct from that of Europe
and America, with which countries,
especially the latter, she is in con-
troversy.
Russia may obtain succor only
from Japan. 1t is possible that this
singular opportunity for a natural
alliance with Japan will be over
looked by us? This is a delicate
question, of which it would be much
better to speak frankly-this being
the question of compensation.
The salvation of Russia, of course,
is worth the cost of both Northern
Sahalin, Kamchatka, and a lease of
the Chinese Eastern Railroad. 1t
would be short sightedness on the
part of japan to participate in the
international work of redrawing the
map Of Russia.
Military Intervention is being die
tated by Japan's own interests threat
eded by Bolshevism. Besides terri
torial compensations there are many
others that can easily be agreed up
on with the 'most favored Power"
such as japan Is now in her relations
with her relations with Russia"
Bolshevism has not run it's course.
1t seems, rather, to be gathering mo-
mehtum every day. While reports of
the success of Kolchak's and Deni-
kine's forces continue to reach us,
we learn of the fall of Omsk, on Oc-
tober 14th, and of the capture by the
Bolsheviks of over 200 locomotives
and approximately $4,000 cars load
ed with supplies that were in the
yards there. When the Bolshevik
army was hundred miles away from
Omsk, it is said reward of 10000
! rubles was offered to each soldier
who would enter the city. They got
there in three days No one seems
TO know just where Kolchak's army
is now. 1t is reported that many OF
his soldiers have deserted and gone
over to the other side. Men who
have Just returned from the interior
say that the Bolsheviki have altered
their policy and that now instead OF
destroying everything before them,
they are building hospitals, caring for
all the sick and needy, erecting towns
and establishing schools for the prop
er education of the rising generation
The signs of the times indicate the
possibility of an agreement of some
sort in. the near future between the
Kolchak government and the Lenine-

INCOME TAX MUST BE
PAID ON RENTS

That the government has a sharp
eye this spring to see that full in
come tax is paid on rents during 1919
is acknowledged by internal revenue
officials.
Every income tax blank has a spec
ial place set apart for reporting rents
received. And this space will be
watched as the rents come in, to
check up the rents of landlords and
landladies.
These are bonanza days for real
estate owners. Rents for all kinds
of property have advanced; in some
localities to prices never dreamed of.
The keepers of lodging houses and
boarding houses have never shared
in the general prosperity from rents.
Even the little cottage and apart
ment dweller has made little money
on the side by renting the rooms he
could spare.
The higher prices of 1919 induced
many landlords to sell all or part OF
their property, and generally at sub
stantial gains. All such gains are
income and must be figured out in
black and white on the annual re-
turn.
Persons who hold leases on prop
erty, and during 1919. sublet at a
profit, must show such gains on the
income tax return.
The forms for personal income tax
are designed so that income from
rents and royalties shall be separat-
ed from other income. The informa-
tion and figures should be careful
ly and accurately entered in Block
Sc"
The kind of property rented should
be Indicated. If it is a building it
should be shown whether the con-
struction is of wood. cement, brick or
