WOMEN EXCEED MEN
IN JAPANESE FACTORIES
$4,000 Japanese Women Work
at Average Daily Wage of Ten
to Twenty Cents for a
Twelve Hour Day.

There are more women in industry
In japan than there are men, accord
to statement recently made by the
War Work Council of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association.
The world war has brought $4,000
women and girls into the daily grind
Of industry according to this state
ment; 10000 Of them little girls under
fifteen years Of age who work twelve
hours at wage of ten to twenty cents
a day, that the world may have silk
dresses and munitions.
In Tokyo alone, city Of two and
one-half million people, there are 1O0,.
900 women employed in ,sixty-two in.
dustries and businesses varying from
work as telephone operators, clerks,
stenographers and baokkeepers to
work in silk and other sorts of fac
tories and domestic work.
Each year thousands Of these wof:
men 60 back to their homes In the
country, broken in health and victims
of tuberculosis because Of the poor
conditions under which they work and
live. They are housed In dormitories
in tho factory compound. These dormi-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The
girls work long hours, have no recre-
alton and on finishing their long day
go Immediately to bed, oftentimes q
bed which a cir, who works at night
has been sleeping in all day.
AS part of its world service for wo-
men. the Young Women's Christian
Association plans to build dormitorles
In manufacturing towns where girls
may live cheaply under healthful
physical snd social conditions, to send
out secretaries who can introduce rec
reation into the factory compound and
direct games and social life.
This is done with the cooperation
of the factories managers and pro-
prietors. One Of the most influential
of these is Mrs. Suzuki, the most
prominent woman manufacturer In
Japan, who Is owner and manager Of a.
firm which exported S11,000,000 worth
Of bean oil to America last year.
Recently Mrs. Suzuki decided to
employ one thousand women in her
Offices. She could not find enough
well trained ones so she established
a permanent school where japanese
girls may be trained to enter the busi-
ness world. The greatest danger
ahead of japan, she says, is In It's
growing materiallsm, and Japan's
greatest need, the development of her.

FLORENCE MINIS.
HAS PROSPEROUS
YEAR

Cornick county in many ways. Like
the year 1913 over the previous year
and every other year since 1914
every line of activity has been on the
boom, but especially since the year
1916, when the county of McCormick
was formed.
The progress of the county is per-
haps best estimated by the deposits
in the banks of the county. One Of
the banks-and this particular bank
has had no unusual success over the
other banks-had total deposit of
$4,000 in 1914, and in December
1918, this same bank had deposit
of $4,000. This same bank today
has a deposit of s356,O00. All banks
of the county have increased in their
deposits in about the same proportion
and today the banks here have total
deposit of S1,5oo,OoO. :,
Nothing has been more active, how
ever, than the real estate market and
more than 100000 worth of real es-
tate has changed hands during the
past year. Several new residences
have been erected throughout the
county, farms have been improved
and the whole atmosphere seems to
be one of prosperity. There are two
new churches being erected at this
time in the town of Mccormick. The
Baptist church at a cost of approx
mately $4,000 has been about half
completed while the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian church at a
cost of approximately $4,000 is well
under way. Quite a number of new
residences in town are in course of
construction and others will be erect
ed as soon as labor can be had. There
has been marked shortage of car
penters here for the past year and
another year will doubtless find a
number Of other residences occupied
by new comers and every store in
town is occupied.
The farmers of the county are
holding meetings monthly in an ef-
fort to get organized to meet the boil
weevil and are preparing to plant
crops other than cotton, to use i'm
proved implements and do not seem
to dread the coming of the boil wee
vii as much as they might.
One of the newest enterprises in
Mccormick is the wholesale grocery
company, the Mccormick Grocery
Company with an organized capital
stock of $4,000 backed by men of
marked ability and experience. This
new enterprise is bound to meet with
success and will in a few days open
its doors for business.
A petition is being circulated and
in few days an election will be or
dered for the purpose of bonding Nc
Cormick in the sum of $4,000 for
the purpose of erecting a court house
and this public building is to be erec-
ted during the year 1920.

MAYOR GRAY WILL NOT
 BROOK COMPETITION
 IN MARRIAGE MARKET

Mayor J. Latimer Gray is in re- ceipt of the following communica- tion from a lonely lad in South Da- kota:
 Gettysburg, s. D., March 12. MT J. l.. Gray,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 Dear Sir: 1 see d little ad in the Sioux City Journal where few Iowa girls are planning on stam- peding to Alaska and looking for jobs. see one or two have hinted at matrimony and ask about Alaska 8 eligibles. Now how much would you take to allow me their address, or ask them if they would like to hear from me. am a South Da- kota boy looking for something in this line, a good wife. l will give you dollar for every one you get to write me within the next month. Hoping to hear from you in time, v etc.
 Mayor Gray says he needs the money the worst kind of way and never did object to making an hon. est dollar or two, but he rather re- sents the idea of the young South Dakotan trying to grab off a help meet from among the crowd of wo- men who are alleged to be seeking husbands in the North. He thinks it unfair competition, and believes that the bachelors of Alaska should be given first choice. So His Honor, the Mayor, refuses to be bribed by the wife hunter of Dakota and says "nOthing doing"

MASSACHUSETTS COURT
 HOLDS FOR OPEN SHOP

BOSTON, Marine 23.-The Massa. chusetts Supreme Court ordered a permanent injunction to issue against the proto-engravers local of the inter- national Union restraining them from interfering with the business of the two engraving companies on account of their refusal to comply with the demands of the unions that they con duct closed shops. The refusal had resulted in a strike. The action of the companies and the court decis ion on the injunction proceedings they instituted against the Unions are regarded as victories for the open shop.
