RUFFIAN BILLY.

RUFFIAN BILLY.
Ruffan Billy was big worstcd doll
that came to the playroom to live one
day after Christmas.
RufIian Billy was quite fierce to be-
hold, for his face was pink and his eyes
were yellow beads, with red worsted
stitched around them.
His big mouth WAS red and his nose was
a lump Of pink worsted like his face, but
il was his clothes that made his look so
much to be feared.
He wore a red suit, with long cape
which was lined with green, and big red
hat which fell around his face and neck
like a Happy big leaf.
On his feet he wore high, black boots.
The tops of these were lined with green
and ali this was made of worsted.
SO, you see, he was a very terrible fel-
low to come into a playroom where there
lived two nice ladylike dolls.
Doll Eta did not mind him, for she
had only painted curIs, but Lovely Doll
Betty, with her long, golden curls, was
quite afraid of Ruilian Billy. :.
al rust know he will pull my hair,
she.said to Doll Eta one night when the
hall clock struck the magic hour. HE

iAYS JAPAN WON'T
 SUBMIT TO INSULT
AARON eoTo DECLARES CALL FoRNIA LAW WOULD BE TAX
 EN BEFORE WORLD.
$ NOT A LOCAL PROBLEM
All Thinking Americans Must Realize That This Question Is Not Sport For Pe!itieians-Race Equal
 ity No Concern.

Tokio.-Declaring that the Califor- lia anti-Japanese legislation may be- -ome a world question, Baron Shim- Jei Goto, former minister of foreign fairs says in an article written for che press that should the federal gov rnment permit the California anti alien legislation to go into effect with put taking steps to avert it, Japan would be honor bound to refer the yhole matter to the League of Ma tions or some international court,
 This statement is significant, inas- much as Baron Goto may very possi- ply succeed Premier Hara in the not unlikely event that the Hara ministry fails to weather the storm which the California situation is expected to pre- cipitate here.
 Japan will be disappointed and dis illusioned if the American majority permits it's betrayal by the reckless minority who are against those hap pier solutions of the Japanase ques- tions already suggested" Baron Goto writes
 All thinking Americans must real ize that this question is not a sport for politicians. They must realize with what difficulty Japan is reconcil- ing itself to such step from America, whose. stand for humanity has been to eloquently preached recently, but who is now allowing small group to violate the spirit of it's national ex- pression. The vague. undefinable question of race equality is of no con corn now, but before us is a simple question of international friendship.
 Few International problems are susceptible to sa easy and peaceful a solution as this one If it is approach ed in the right spirit, whereas few are fraught with so much danger of having seeds of lasting enmity plant ed if the agitators are permitted to control it.
 Tt is a grave mistake to suppose that the question is local problem or merely one between Japan and America. If efforts to solve it ami cably by diplomacy fail, we are bound by international honor and duty to in troduce the subject to the League of Nations, or to some other available in- ternational organ.
 "If saner counsel fails to assert it. self it will be most unfortunate. De spite our best efforts there will be no course left us but to regard it as an insult, virtually an act of violence. We shall refrain from opposing force by force"

LAND SHOULD BE WELL DRAIN. ED AND SHOULD BE LoAM
 OR CLAY.
SITUATION IS SERIOUS
Also Necessary That Separator Or Thresner Be Available To Thresh- ers-These Should Be Taken
 Into Consideration.

Little Rock.-This is one year when Arkansas should SOW big acre. age to wheat, according to W. N. Adams, manager of the Philadelphia Milling Company of Philadelphia.
 "The cotton situation now is just about as serious as it was in 1914 and the diversified farming program and the sowing of wheat and other grains materially helped the situation in 1914" writes MT. Adams in a letter to the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce. Tt is just as important that Arkansas fed herself now as it was in 1914. It is true that the wheat crop was more or less of a failure last year, but we can expect an occasional failure of any crop and as a rule. two failures do not follow each other"
 However, MT. Adams utters some cautions concerning the raising of wheat. He says that 1t should not be sown on poor land, land that will produce less than one-third of a bale of cotton to the acre or z5 bushels of corn. The land should be well drain ed and should be loam or clay soil, rich with vegetable matter, because wheat will not do well on wet, soggy land. When possible, he says that the ground should be broken deeply, thoroughly pulverized and worked carefully. He recommends the sow ing of from one and one-fourth to one and oHe-half bushels per acre, de- pending upon the character of the soil
 Tt is recognized that the cotton farmer cannot very well follow cot ton with wheat, if the land is to be flat broken and thoroughly pulverized, but this year offers exceptional op- portunity for getting all the cotton cut of the field at an early date and where the land is clean, the ground may be double disced and the wheat sown and satisfactory results will be secured" writes MT. Adams. Farm CTS should use drill, if possible.
 Tt is not practical for farmers to raise wheat unless they own a binder or there is a binder in the neighbor- hood that may be rented. Also it is necessary that a separator or thresh- CT be available to threshers. These things should be taken into consider ation before the land is sown to wheat"

KING SUCCUMBS 10
 WOUND BY MONKEY
CONSTANTINE AND PRINCE AR THUR MENTIONED AS POS
 SIBLE SUCCESSORS.

Athens.-King Alexander of Greece is dead. His death was due to wounds received when a pet monkey attacked him early in October. The king was badly mutilated.
 Breathing at times was most diff cult and alarming, and at noon it was announced that the kings condition was hopeless.
 The death of King Alexander gives rise to the question of succession to the Greek throne. Former King Con- stantine was reported, according to 'wiss dispatches of October IT, as in tending to take advantage of the situ- ation created by his sons grave ill- ness by returning to Greece and claim the throne. About the same time a regency was suggested, and Constantine gave his opinion of this as follows:
 Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. l will not think of q re- gency yet. My plans are those of my people"
 Premier Venizelos expressed him. self as confident that Prince Paul, Constantine's third son, would not be prevented from taking the throne by his father, as the latter would learn from the coming elections that there is no prospect for his return
 Both Prince Arthur of Connaught and Prince Charles of Belgium have been mentioned as possible candidates for the Greek throne. Premier Veni- zelos has said that foreign candidates are not being considered It is prob able that the old Chamber will be re- convened owing to the kings death to consider what steps are to be taken before the new Chamber meets.
 Alexander succeeded to the throne of Greece in June, 1917, when his fath- CT, King Constantine, abdicated in re- sponse to the demand of France, Great Britain and Russia, the three powers which had guaranteed the con stitutional liberties of the Greek peo- pie. Alexander was the second son of Constantine, and at the time of his accession was not quite 24 His elder brother, Crown Prince George, was considered ineligible for the throne because of pro-German sympa- thies.

NO AGREEMENT ON
 LOAN TO CUBANS
PRICES ADVANCE RAPIDLY ON ISLAND DURING THE PRES
 ENT CRISIS.

Havana.-Definite basis of agree ment between American bankers and Cuban government officials relative to the loan being sought to supply the requirements of Cuba's financial insti- tutions has not yet been reached. Ne gotiations are continuing, however, and it is probable, according to belief here, decision will be announced soon.
 It is understood here that President Menocal instead of attempting to con. vene Congress in an extraordinary session, difficult thing to do on the eve of the national elections, will ne- gotiate the loan under wartime au- thority with which he was clothed by Congress. He considers it still effec- tive, since Cuba is technically at war with Austria and Hungary, peace nev. CT having been signed with these na- tions.
 The produce exchange, which clos. ed immediately following the morato- rum proclamation some time ago, has reopened at the insistence of Presi. dent Menoeal and the secretary of az. riculture and commerce.
 Since the closing of the exchange, prices of foodstuffs. in spite of the money scarcity, have advanced 25 to 30 per cent, prices varying widely fol the same kind of articles, with the tendenc yalways upward. It was to overcome this condition that the ex- change was ordered to reopen it's doors.
