JAPAN JOINS In
DISARMAMENT APPEAL

Japan's acceptance of President
Harding's suggestion that conference
to discuss limitation of armaments was
received at the State Departmenttto-
day, but made no reference to the
question of discussion of the Far
Eastern question.
Unqualified acceptance by the Chi
nese government also was received,
State Department officials would make
no comment on the form of the Jap
anese reply which was not made pub
lie in text.
Silence of the Japanese government
as to discussion of Far Eastern prob
lens was not believed, however, to
have interposed any serious obstacle
to the carrying out of the plan. 1t
was indicated that the formal invita-
ton would be forwarded to Japan as
to the powers which have transmitted
full and unqualified acceptance, and
in the end, officials believed, Japan
would agree to the participation in the
dual program.
It was not indicated whether the I'm
tied States would make further inquiry
either formal Or informal as to the at
titude of Japan.
The Japanese reply was made thru
the American embassy at Toxic, which
is understood not to have supplements
ed it with any explanation. Unoffi-
cial dispatches from Toxic and from
London have created the impression
that Japan would be willing to join
in frank discussion of the Far East
ern questions. although informal dis.
patches also have indicated that the
lokio government must move with
caution on account of the political fac.
tions and schools of thought in Japan

MAY SAW PINE FOR
80 YEARS MORE

Amid the gloomy predictions Of the
early disappearance of lumber as a
Louisiana asset, it IS pleasant now and
then to hear cheering note. At
family meeting of the ]. B. White in
terests in Shreveport few days ago,
those present agreed that they had
30-year supply Of yellow pine for their
mills, counting the second growth tim
Der which has been cared for and is
now coming on.
The White interests operate mills at
Fisher, Victoria, Clarks, Standard.
Oakdale. Glenmora. and SIagle, with
combined production of 1850 thou
sand foot a day. Their investment is
SIS, 100000. IF Louisiana begins re-
forestation now, on an adequate scale.
the saw dust need never stop flying.
The fate Of this industry and Of the
thousands in Louisiana to whom it
gives employment, is in the hands Of
the legislature at its coming session.

Wednesday, July l3.-These are
busy days at the Colony and it seems
like the more we do the less we see.
what is done; but if one only stops to
review what has been accomplished
within the last year, it makes him gasp
in wondsment in realizing our success.
This colony is a real success In an
economic way; our people have work
ed hard, went without silk shirts and
fancy hose; eaten what we raised and
grumbIed little; lived under leaky
roofs and never kicked. But this is
only half the story. We paid off ev-
cry one Of our outside debts, bought
and paid for about four thousand acr-
es of land, cleaned off our mortgag-
es and now own all our houses and
buildings, tools, implements of all
kinds and machinery. Yes we have
done this in a little over a year, and
during this year we were self-support-
ing, through our own efforts right
here on the ranch. Now, comrades,
you possibly had more and better
clothes to wear in the last three years
than we, may be more of variety of
food and better house to live in; but
what is your present economic condi-
ton to-day and how about your fu-
ture? On the other hand, we are
learning the greatest lessons of love.
tolerance, and service. We changed
from kicking, Grabbing, and quarrel
ing bunch to congenial pleasant and
tolerant community. All of us? No,
there are a few who are selfish, jeal-
Gus, and SUSPICIOUS, who still make
themselves unhappy through their own
mental attitude. No, we don't blame
them; we pity them and wish to help
them; but they must wish to change
in order TO become real co-operators.
No. it is no easy thing - it is the big
Job but we will succeed as we have
on the economic plane. We are sue
ceeding. Ole and his crew are still
tearing down the big shed near the
railroad. and tarring the roof Of the IN
dustrial shed; and. part of the day. to
avoid the hot sun, they saw logs into
lumber. AL, Vernon. and Walter are
hauling logs from the Cooper place;
they have about IS days more hauling
if luck is good. The farmers are plant
ing peanuts and hoeing sweet potatoe:
to-day, trying to make up for lost time

TAFT MADE u. S. CHIEF JUSTICE

Washington.--William Howard Taft
was sworn in to-day as Chief Justice
of the United States.
The simple ceremony of elevating
the former president to the supreme
court was performed in the office of
Attorney-General Daugherty by JUS
hce Hoehling, of the District supreme
court in the absence from the city of
the justices of the supreme court.
Those present included Mr.. Taft's bro
ther, Henry W. Taft, of New York,
7. Adams, chairman of the Republi-
and J. T. Adams, chairman of the Re-
publican national committee.
Before the oath was administered,
Attorney General Daugherty presented
Mr.. Taft with his commission as chief
justice, saying:
81 now hand you, on behalf of the
president, your commission as chief
justice of the United States. 1t af-
fords me great pleasure on account Of
our personal relations, but far above
that feel a security to the country, its
constitution, its laws and its people, ii
your installation in that high court.
Immediately after taking the oath
Chief Justice Taft went to the Whitt
House to pay his respects to Presiden
Harding.

THE HOME DEMON
STRATION AGENT

Splendid reels were displayed at the
Dixie Pride Playhouse last Sunday ev-
ening, showing how by little labor
very helpful and sanitary improve
ments can be made on any farm and
country place without the expenditure
of a dollar. Such helpful and sugges-
tive pictures are of supreme merit,
and it is to be hoped that the lessons
taught will be acted upon, for the real
appreciation of any lesson, whether
presented by word Of mouth, the print
ed page, or moving picture, is that it
be Incorporated in the daily life of a
community.
One vital lesson that should have
been given in greater detail, is that of
a balanced menu of food for the ta-
Bile. Farm folks who are up to snuff,
know considerable about balanced ra-
tons for their cows. horses, pigs, and
poultry; but do not seem to be aware
of the fact that a balanced diet
is equally desirable, and perhaps more
important for the man folks and the
children.
Very likely the Home Demonstra-
ton Agent attends to that when she
appears in her own bodily presence.
More power to her and the best posi-
bic results from her demonstrative ped
agogy and object lessons.
