Tractor Course at K. S. A. c.

Manhattan, Kans., Dec. 30.-As II
all other agricultural lines the Kansas
State Agricultural College believes it
is well worth while to offer every ia
cility for the farmers of Kansas tc
study tractors, tractor operation, and
tractor farming. The tractor shc1,
course this winter lasting eight
weeks, starts January 5. It is fan
in advance of anything ever offered
before. Increased laboratory room
for comfortable work and study have
been provided. Twenty odd repre-
sentative tractors of the latest mod
els are now ready for such use.
Three two-row cultivators are a part
Of this equipment.
For motor study there are six
standard tractor motors mounted on
stands for the most minute investi-
CATION. The ignition laboratory has
the latest magnetos, and equipment
that is used by the big majority of
tractors.

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 a 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, a city of two and
one-half million people, there are 100,-
600 women employed in sixty-twO in
dustries and businesses varying from
work as telephone operators, clerks.
stenOgraphers and boOkkeeperS to
work in silk and other sorts of fac
tories and domestic work
Each year thousands of these wo-
men go 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 the factory compound. These t;)rmi-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The
girls work long hours, have no recre-
alton and on finishing their long day
go Immediately to bed. oftentimes a
bed which a girl who works at night
has been sleeping in all day.
As part Of its world service for wo-
men, the Young EOmen's Christian
Association plans to build dormitories
In manufacturing towns where girls
may live cheaply under healthful
physical and 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 manufact in
Japan, who is owner and manager of
firm which exported S11.O00.OO0 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
we'll trained ones so she established
q permanent school where japanese
girls may be trained to enter the busi-
ness world. The greatest danger
ahead Of Japan. she says, is in its
growing materialism, and Japan's
greatest need, the development of her
women.

Smallest Bank in the World.

There is "a saying among country
people that "the smaller the bank the
safrr the money" and therefore the
Wake County Savings bank, at RAJ
leigh, y. c., should be the safest bank
in America, since 1t is the smallest.
OF course, it is a trifie larger than a
sock and easier TO get money out of
than the tin banks or the china pigs
of ones childhood. but it manages to
gather in very great deal of money
in the minimum space.
AS a matter OF fact, originally the
space occupied by the bank was a hall
way into the building back of it. Some
changes in the architecture of the
place made the hallway unnecessary,
and 50 the savings bank decided on an
''Office" there. Now 1T is a regular
bank" with an imposing entrance
and that Is about all. Its frontage, to
he exact, is T1k feet.

canada,s bird Refune-

It is something for one bird to tell
another that Canada has created a
series Of reserves in the province of
Quebec where birds are safe from man
made troubles.
Unlike most bird refugees, Perce
Rock, picturesque island near Perez
village; the east and north cliffs OF
Bonayenture island, three miles further
away; and the northernmost of the
Magdalen islands, 124 miles out to sea,
have been set apart specifically to pro-
tect birds whose value TO mankind is
chiefly their beauty as a part of ma
ture.
There is no attempt to argue. for
example, that the gannet, the kitti-
wake, or the razorbilI aux should be
protected because they help the
farmer; they are protected simply be
cause they are birds.
No human being may steal an egg
from their nests; no weapon danger
Gus to their welfare may he brought
within a mile of their island sanctu-
aries.
Naturally all other birds are equally
safe, and the refugees win be a help
toward carrying ont the purpose OF
the International treaty for bird pro-
lection.

The Danger in Free-Trade

During the ten and half months
Immediately following the armistice
Great Britain imported from Ger
many $1,O87,OOO worth of products.
Our imports from Germany for the
similar period totaled in value ST.
$4,000, Or twice as much. Last
October we took S2,158,OOO worth.
England is operating under a policy
of Protection to F'key" industries. We
are operating under a policy of Pro-
lection to no industries. Wherefore
the recovery of Germany in the
American market is twice as rapid as
in the British market, a fact which
will be emphasized in the months to
come. Yet the putative message to
Congress of President Wilson, asks
for continuance of the policy of
Free Trade.-WeIlsboro (Pa.) Agi-
