tional plans: First, to receive
farm or home" aid; or, second.
land settlement" aid.
Under the FORMER plan a veteran
desiring to purchase a home or
farm would be loaned a sum not

tration Of the act, would negotiate
through the Federal Land Bank. All

holders of units who WISH to make
improvements, or to acquire live
stock and equipment. Whenever the
land shall thereafter attain SUN.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Smoke Up.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents 90 DR..

ws.t.rn Nsr.papsr Union Nov. Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Dec. 2I.-The negotia-
tions between Roland S. Morris, Amer
lean ambassador . Japan, and Baron
Shidehara, Japanese ambassador to the
United States, are nearing completion
and If their report is accepted by the
State Department and the Japanese
foreign office, as it is expected to be,
it will be sent to the public printer and
submitted to the Senate for its consid-
Grafton with the amendment to the ex-
listing commercial treaty with Japan
which il recommends.
The treaty amendment comprises
one clause which would guarantee to
Japanese subjects in the United States
equal civil rights with the nationals
of all other countries.
The necessary corollary is new
gentleman's agreement which would
exclude absolutely the emigration of
Japanese labor TO the United States
and Hawaii but would admit it to the
Philippine islands.
Japan does not ask the right of nat
uralization for its subjects 1t is
pointed out by persons acquainted
not properly request the alienation of
her own subjects.
The report is v0luminous. covering
Japanese-Amcrican relations for Il
period of twcnty-eight years, and is
an earnest effort to discover and solve
the problems which in more recent
years have tended to create breach
of understanding between the two
countries.
If the proposed new clause is added
to the existing treaty, the California
alien land ownership laws would be
vitiated insofar as they concerned Jap
anese subjects, but that state would
not be prevented. by new legislation,
from excluding all Orientals from land
ownership, If it should follow the ex-
ample set by British colonial legisa
tion. Such legislation prohibits all
aliens from owning land, avoiding
thereby discrimination against any
particular aliens.
The existing gentlemens agreement
never has been reduced to writing and
consists, in addition to the original
agreement, of a series of interpreta-
tions and amendments. The proposed
agreement would nullify provisions in
the existing agreement permitting Jap
anese immigrants already admitted to
bring their wives and members of
their families into the country, and es-
tablish absolutely prohibition of jap
anese immigration. Scholars, students,
travellers, merchants, etc, would not be
prevented from entering the United
States.
