TO
 THE LOVELORN

"Every man, no matter, how selfish, sensitive, or how much of curmud- geon he may be, has hidden within him the finer qualities which make for the tenderness, niceties and dain- tiness of love and courtship. Just let a man cross the path of the girl ne is destined to make his life compan- ion, and no matter how he has felt toward her sex, he is bound to find out that he's as human as everyone else" s {.
 So writes young newspaper man who has some sane and well-grounded ideas about us humans.
 .'Folks is folks There's no get ting away from the, fact that we are all pretty much alike in our primal needs and ours basic aspirations.
 To round out life we all need cetrain things. To make it happy and, inspired, we long for gifts that are rooted in the same soil in which our neighbors longings flourish.
 Every woman-be she an artist Tn search of a "career' or a weary clerk standing behind counter from morning till night, longs for the sright man" to come along and illum- inate her life.
 And men wonder if there ever was a normal, healthy man who hadn't tucked off in a corner of his mind a picture of his Dream Girl. Some men take out their bitterness against an existence that doesn' t bring the right girl their way in a pose of being a misogynist. dook it up if you don't know what 1t means It's a word you might as well add to your vocabulary)
 But no normal man is woman hater. Fred thinks he is. At twen- ty-fve he was tilted by his fiancee for a man with more money. At thirty he arrived at stage of bitterness which expressed itself something af- ter this wise:
 "Women are all grafters. You can't trust them. Every one of them has a cold-blooded way of go- ing after what she wants, without paying any attention to the fact that she may hurt a lot of other folks getting it. Women won't be square with you. Whats the use of being on the level with them? The best thing to do is to have nothing at all to do with them. Then they can make you miserable.
 And Fred thinks he meant it. By the time he's about two years past thirty he's either so bitterly set against women that he eliminates them entirely from his life and veers more and more toward the "curmud- geon" class-or he's a cynic and a waster who amuses himself cheaply

they pin their faith to their own best impulses? To love, to express it tender1y and gently, to.be chivalrous and courteous are thesreal marks of a strong man, not of a Weakling. An old q book put it perfectly in one ,coupTet of verse:
 ''He who mine heart would keepe s for 1ong'e-
 Must be asentil man and d.stronge.'

TWO DAYS TRACTOR
SCHOOL FOR FARMERS

A two-day tractor school for all
Ohio County farmers who either own
tractor or are contemplating buying
one will be held at Beaver Dam, KY,
by the Farm Engineering Division of
the College of Agriculture, Uniyer-
sity of Kentucky, Monday and Tues
day, Feb. 81 and %, according to an

formation given in the lectures.
The course will be under the direc-
tion of Earl G. Welch, extension
worker in the Farm Engineering Di-
vision. Mr.. Welch will be assisted
by County Agent M. L. McCracken,
several local dealers and representa-
.tives of tractor companies who are

more efficient operators. A set of
lantern slides and films are part

UNCLE SAM SHORT,
TO ASK FOR CREDIT
Can't Meet Bills On Present Income
So viii Seek to Have Pay
Ment Deferred.
By H. b. HUNT.

Washington, Dec. 25-Uncle Sans
income Of $4,000, OOO,0 900 or so dur
ing the next two years will be in
sufficient to pay bills falling due
within that time.
He is like a man with a growing
family, with food and shoes and cloth
ing to buy and mortgage falling
due. Even tho he reduces outlay for
food and clothing to the minimum,
the saving won't be enough to meet
his mortgage.
What is he going to do? The same
thing the individual would undertake
negotiate a renewal of his mort
gage in the hope that, later, he may
be able to meet 1t.
This plan, which has the support
of Chairman Fordney, Of the House
Ways and Means Committee, will en-
able the Harding administration to
reduce somewhat taxes under the rev.
enue bill to be taken up at the spe-
cial sssion.
Instead of having to pay some ST.
4OO, 600, 900, 900 war indebtedness, as
we'll as provide for current expenses
and the interest and sinking fund on
the remaining $2o,000,O00,O00 OF
public debt within the next two years,
payment would be deferred on the
maturing obligations.
Only sufficient taxes would be le-
We'd to provide the interest and mon
ey for the sinking fund.
We really wouldn't be in any better
condition financially, but the imme-
date pressure would be lessened.
Hearings on the revenue bill will be
suspended after the Christmas recess
in order that the committee may de-
vote itself to proposed changes in the
tariff law.
Both revenue and tariff bills will
be held back, however, until the spe-
cial session under the Harding admin
istration.
Then the first matter to be taken
up will be refunding the short-term
obligations outstanding.
This taken care of, the Harding adj
ministration will be in position to
formulate general financial program.

JAPAN TG YIELD TO
CALIFORNIA, REPORT
Enactment OF Law Barring
Alien Ownership To
End Trouble.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Declara-
ton was made tonight by Representa-
tive Kahn, of California, that he be-
lieved reports were true that the Jap
anese government had withdrawn it's
opposition to the recently-ratified
California law prohibiting acquisi-
ton by Japanese of title to real es-
tate in that state. The California re-
preventative made the statement after
conference today with Roland b.
Morris, American ambassador to To-
kio.
Announcement was made by Repre-
sentative Kahn that meeting of the
California members of the House had
been called for Wednesday to discuss
aspects of the negotiations now being
carried on between the United States
and Japanese governments looking to-
ward treaty defining the rights Of
Japanese nationals in the United
States.
Would Affect AL Aliens.
The principal matter to be taken up
at the conference, Representative
Kahn said, was the proposal that the
California Legislature be asked to en-
act a substitute for the recently rati-
fed law. The substitute would pro-
.hibit any alien from acquiring land in
California and would thereby remove
the original objection of the japanese
government that the present Cali
fornia law is discriminatory.
While details, or even the general
plan, of the proposed treaty have not
been disclosed, under an agreement
reached by the two governments in
undertaking the task, it is understood
that the Japanese government has in
Dictated that it would not object to
any reasonable limitation of the
rights of Japanese in the United
States so long as there is no discri-
mination not applying equally to 9TH
err aliens. -
Conferences are said to have been
held with the California delegation
in Congress to ascertain whether that
state might not be willing itself to
remove any discrimination embodied
in the Webb law or the referendum
measure adopted at the last election.
1t has been suggested that California
might enact state law that would,
for instance, prohibit entirely the
holding of real property by any alien.
So far as is known the question of
comforting civil rights upon the Jap
anese in California or in any other
state has not arisen. 1t is understood
however, that protection has been
sought for the Japanese in America in
whatever property rights they may al
ready have acquired under the laws
and treaties in existence, altho the
principle of prohibition of addition
al acquisitions may be recognized.
The conference held by Mr.. Morris
with the California representative Is
understood to have been in accord
ance with suggestion made by the
State Department that leaders in
both houses of Congress be consulted
with regard to the proposed treaty
with view to obtaining approval
from Congress for various provisions
of the pact, when it is completed.
These consultations are understood
to have included conferences with
Senator Johnson, of California, the
only member of the Foreign Relations
Committee from the Pacific Coast
states, and Representative Johnson.
of Washington, chairman of the
House immigration Committee.

Date Fixed BY Judge.

The negro, when the warrant and
Indictment were read, pleaded guilty
and took the stand, saying that he
thought that the knock at the door
was that of negroes who had made
threats against his life. Cranor said
that the light would have enabled the
negro to see who was in the doorway.

Ferguson in a brief speech asked for
the death penalty. Circuit Judge
Carl Henderson fixed the date imme-

men, and it was announced by Lewis

that at the conclusion Of the evidence
of the Commonwealth they would for
mally throw their client upon the
mercy Of the court.
The troops with the negro arrived
here Unexpectedly at 5:15 o'clock this

House and no one but officials allow
ed to enter. When the trial was
called the troops permitted the seats
to be filled with spectators but barred
others. Twelve soldiers were sta
toned inside the doors of the court
room and the others throughout and
around the building.

the friends of his brother not to do
any violence or make any threats.
