MEN TEND BABIES IN Japan
Women IN That Country Relieved -
Many Burdens Connected With
Care of Children.

There is no race suicide as yet IN
Japan. Nor have mothers and IA
theirs reached that stage of modesty
where they leave the products OF
Dtheir union at home and out OF
sight. 1t seems to me that our west
ern civilization, with its shyness and
overemphasis Of certain conceptions
of morality, has brought about race
suicide and has made motherhood
ashamed Of itself.
Here in Japan, where the increase
in population is about 100000 every
year, there is none of that sensitive
ness.
What is more interesting is to see
how evenly the burdens of rearing
offspring are shared Men and boys
are seen carrying the young upon
their backs almost as often as the
women, and it would seem that a
father who is true TO his duty to
his children is not regarded as eff
Terminate. Nor is it done merely
as a duty. The bearer, whether
mother, father, sister, or brother, is
often seen chatting to the tiny mite
upon his or her back, playing with
and amusing the burden. This is
another phase of the communal
character of these people. No one
seems to mind the presence in pub
lie places of all these children and
their nurses, however much they
may interfere with the traffic.-Sid-
ney Greenbie in Japan Real and

Ladies Meet With the Chamber
of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce
held an enthusiastic meeting at
the City Hall last night. Citizens
of every vocation of the business
and social life of the county as
well as the ladies, thronged the
hall. The board of directors had
prepared a budget of matters
which ii presented for the con-
Slderation of those present. The
assembly was more Of a mass
meeting of citizens interested in
the development of their town
and county than an executive
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce. Application blanks for
membership in the organization
were distributed and were gen
erously signed. Many ladies be-
came members. A constitution
and by laws were adopted.
Committees were appointed TO
promote industrial enterprises
and civic Improvements in this
city and county and TO canvass
for memberships among our
farmer friends and townspeople
who have not yet become mem
berS. The most important com
mittee, perhaps, is that one
whose work will be TO get into
closer touch with our agriculiur-
al citizenship and INVITE them
TO join with us IN the building
up of our county. to the end
that dependence of the town
on the country, and visa versa,
may contribute TO the prosper
ity of all.

A negro was in the Office the
other day and we asked him if be
had begun to break his land for
another crop. He said no. and
added that there was not much en-
couragement for a man to put in a
crop when he would get nothing
for it after it was made. 1t looks
like we should begin a campaign
of optimism. This may be bad

next year will be better. Nobody

Becker Store Robbed

Burglars entered the store of A.
Williams at Becker, last Saturday
night, and blew open the safe, but
did not get any money as the safe
was used only for keeping the books
and papers of the store. They took
about S25 worth of goods, so far as
could be estimated by Mr.. Will
liams' clerk. which consisted of two
pairs of shoes. a coat and some
candy. The thieves entered the
side door. and their tracks in the

UncaIIed For Criticism

1t seems that in all our checker
board career we have never heard
so much un-called for criticism as
we have in the past few months.
Everybody is doing his level best
to tear down the work of the other
fellow by needless and useless crit
icism. There was time when
people lacked the nerve" to criti-
else unless they could offer some
plan or idea which they considered
better whether it was or not. Now
most of US don't even go to that
much trouble. We find fault with
every effort of our fellow men, and
haven't even the self respect to
think we could do any better. The
trouble is we are all getting into a
fault-finding mood; and as long as
we allow ourselves to continue in
this mood. we will not find any
vast improvement in the general
scheme of things. y azoo City
