A Good Letter Writer: Here is a
hint you may use: My friends say
they like to get my letters because
they are SO full of things that in
terest them. l would never give
away my secret of writing an in
teresting letter if | had to put nv
name to it, but sending it this way,
anonymously, | don't mind, and
hope it win help others to write
good letters. This is how l do it.
| keep a cheap little notebook in
drawer of my desk and each
page of the book is headed by the
name of one of my correspondents.
Whenever / think of, or read of,
or see, something that | know wiz.
interest a certain friend, | go at
once and jot this thing on the page
which / have allotted to that par
ticular friends name. In this way
] am able to write to "a" about
only the things l know "a" is in
terested in; and to "B" about only
what know "B" will enjoy read
ing, and so on. For l wait till /
have filled certain friends page
with jottings before / attempt to
write a letter to that friend; in this
way, have plenty of material to
write about. The trouble with
most peoples letters is that the
filled chiefly with things that in
terest the sender, not the receiver"

THE JAPANESE "MANANA."

We do not know the honorable word for
"manana" in Japanese, but do believe that
Dali Nippon has caught the idea.
According to a Toxic dispatch Japan has Of
ficially announced that she will evacuate Siberia
and restore Shanung to China at the earliest pos
sible moment"
Toxic seems quite deliberate. 1t has promised
the world repeatedly that it would do these two
things Eat the earliest possible moment" At the
peace conference two years ago, when Nipponese
statesmen buffed President Wilson into permitting
them to away with slice of China, the
mikado's ENJOYS suavely announced that Shan
tung would be returned to its rightful owners at
the well known earliest possible moment"
Japan to be turning into an Oriental
"land of POGO tempo"

row night. Earlier in the day, de-
spite temporary bcarish effects OF
general rains, the wheat market
had risen well above yesterdays
finish with aggressive buying on
the part of houses with eastern
connections. Bulls commended that
the rains were insufficient and that
the crop outlook was still far from
ideal much damage being ire
parable.
Decreased offerings from the
country had a bullish influence on
the corn market and so. too. did
belief that the rains would delay
arrivals. Oats averaged higher with
corn.
Weakness in the value of hogs
put more or less pressure on provi-
sions.
Closing prices:
Wheat = May, $166A; July,
$127A.
Corn-July, 64%c; Sept, 66hc.
Oats-July, 4O%c; Sept, 42hc.
Pork-May, $3.50; July, $3.50.
