JAPAN EXPECTED
 TO YIELD TO U. 5,

Washington, July 19.-While the State Department is advancing it's negotiations for the disarmament conference as rapidly as il con- siders practicable, there is a we'll defined feeling here that time and on the side of the United States in it's effort to include troublesome diplomatic problems within the scope of the conference
 This belief is particularly manifest with relation to Japan, the only nation which has not accepted the American suggestion that Far East ern questions be considered. Confi~ dence that an unreserved acceptance eventually will~eone from Tokio has increased among American officials since the proposal became a subject of general discussion throughout Japan.
 From the start it has been ap- parent that President Harding and his advisers were counting on the aroused public opinion of the world as their greatest aid in moving for armament limitation, and they have read press reports and the comments of foreign diplomats and states men with keen interest to learn how impelling is the sentiment in favor of a frank exchange of ideas on all subjects threatening inter- national discord. This survey, so far as officials have been willing to comment on it, has aroused gen eral satisfaction.
 Press reports from Japan, in dicating that the question of full there, are taken as welcome sign. The same may be assumed with re- gard to London dispatches, indicat- ing that British opinion hopes for q complete acceptance by Japan, al though for obvious reasons officials will not comment on possible exercise Of British influence to in duce Tokio to accede.
 The impression that time is a friendly factor in all of these con alterations, and that impatience might lead to misunderstanding of the real motives of the United States in proposing the conference, is re- garded as explaining the indisposi- tion of this government to hasten the preliminaries. It was indicated yesterday that nothing definite has been done toward physical arrange ments, nor even toward the issuance of a formal invitation, and that it may be some days before there is any concrete development.
 One of the questions still unde- cided is who shall pay the expenses of the visiting delegations. It is customary for commissions sent to such gatherings as peace confer ences to be provided with funds by their respective governments, but some in official circles are in doubt ,as to the polite course in the case of conference in which the par ticipants are invited to the soil oi one of the nations represented Should the United States feel called upon to pay all the expenses of the meeting, a considerable appropria- tion by Congress will be necessary Because of this the propritties oi the situation are likely to receive |diligent study.

WHY THE FARMERS ARE DISCOURAGED

A year ago this same month, I sold a veal calf for eighteen cents pound live weight. I have another now, for which I am offered just eight cents a pound, live weight.
 This means a cut of a little over one half tn my wages as veal-producer.
 Hey? What's that I hear9 Some city consumer saying that he doesn't find any such difference in the prices he pays the corner grocer and the butcher for veal and potatoes? Well, that's some thing between him and the retailers- If they're buying things from the farmers for one-third or one-haf what they paid year ago. and still seeking it to the consumer with last years prices. why doesn't he get after their sealps, and stop throwing dead cats over the farm CTS fence?
 Bat thst isn't what I started e talk about. Here, in potatoes and veal. are two concrete. right up-to-the-minute H. lustratIons of the way in which farmers wages have been remorselessly cut down within a year. The cut in other branches of farm production averages quite al drastic as that ip these two items.
 quote them, not because thsy are exeep-
 tons, but because they are my two lat
 est experiences. But one could go oyei
 the whole field and find things about tn,
 same in every corner. The last year ha,
 seen the hardest and most vicious blow
 ever dealt at farming. It has been suci
 a sumner that 1t has not only impaired the ability of farmers to produce. bu lhas seriously lessened their ambition
 and sapped their energy.
 They have been aeeusto3ed ts taklni lgamblers' chances and bearing frequen
 iosses~with equanimity. They have beel
 aceustomed to occasional knock-down and black eyes, and have always got u
 smiling and started the fight anew witl
 fresh hopes. But to have every pocke cleaned out at the same time has beei something unusual. To be not onl
 knocked down bue stripped to the buf
 beaten to jelly and kicked into tn
 ditch has been more than ordinarily an , moving. Then, to have half the consum , CTS of the country flinging clods and cob , bles at them. every time. they lift thei heads and try to wipe the mud out c their eyes, is extremely discouraging. I, for one, don't wonder thst farmer are blue, or that they're fast gettIn
 mad more and more of them. There 5 a limit even to the cheerfulness of a agricultural Mark Tapley. Perhaps Jo 3 of Uz might have borne up against i l But then. Job of Uz was a very remart able person. That was admitted eve by his biographer.

(Written Specially For The Bulletin.)
 In 2 recent issue The Country Gentle man, formerly of Albany. but now ee Philadelphia, calls attention to the act ual revolution In business which high railroad freight rates have effected. They have thrown . cordoR Ike wal | of spears round New England to keep out the bulky freights of the middle west. Speaking in. cost of transpor- tation, European and South American lports are now often nearer than freight sidings of the corn belt California, Oregon and Washington have been liter | ally picked up by the increased transcon- \ tinental rates and set hundreds of miles out in the Pacific ocean. The map has been pulled about as if 1t were rub i Der. and the geoSraphies of our child hood have been violated by the freight tariff makers. Currents of trade have been changed as by cyclone. =. {. In addition to their loss of long-haul freight many railroads are having a fight with motor-trucks for short-haul business" II And so on and so on.
 As usual, when A fiEht is on between the organized profiteers of capital and labor. 1t Is the third party, in this case the farmer, who gets the worst wounds and the most damage. The Country Gen. tleman goes on-and hope you'll read this carefully, fellow farmer:
 Not only have farmers been the chiei victims of high rates financially but they have been heavy losers in good will, fol many thoughtlesS consumers blame Tar mers for high food prices when responsi bility really rests with the increased railroad rates and the high wages be hind them
 Herein lies a great injustice. N class has worked longer hours than hav farmers. They have put into food ten twelve and fourteen hour days; hax added gratis the labor of their families have not struck or sulked or soldiere' on the job; have produced abundan crops; and have seen their cheap foo reach the consumer piled high wit transportation costs.
 "Meanwhile railway Snpisyes wer skipping the farmer on the other chee by tying up the freight service. insistin on hours of work that would starv the world if applied to farming. an helping jack up the freight rates. Insist ence by labor on it's rights" has cos the farmer many millions of dollars.
 50 farmers want to see the wage lof railroad employees reduced along wit farm products and manufactured good and want to see the net savings passe along to shippers without delay or funn business. Farmers have been the prir cipal victims of high freight rates, an those unfamiliar with recent progres of farmers in organization ought to lear that the "goat" has lately grown. rigl able pair of horns"
 A year ago last nasnsh, potato buyer were besieging my doors for seed pot;

 That means cut in my wages as p & tato-grower of two-thirds or more. \

This or its equivalent is in use the

John Smith probably wouldn't know
whether a newly-made Russian ac-

he said, "Jonloff Smtowski." In Po-

tin the name becomes Johannes

man John Smith is called Hans

800 ARRESTED IN "DRY" RAIDS

Kansas City, Mo-. March 12.-
Three hundred men were arrested.
thousands of dollars worth of liquor
and drugs seized and hundreds of
guns, knives and sacks of ammunition
brought in by the authorities today
in raids on that part of Kansas City
known as Little Italy"
The raids, which police department
heads characterized as the most ex-
tensive in the citys history, were con-
tinued tonight with more than sixty
detectives participating. They follow
ed reports reaching the police that a
plot to kill high police and federal Of
ficials here and create reign of ter
ror had been formulated in the dis
trict. Gunmen, according to the re-
ports, were imported from other ci-
ties to carry out the killings and
they were to receive their pay from
fund of $4,000 or more raised for
the purpose by the unlawful element.
Experts of the department worked
late tonight investigating the records
of the prisoners.
Today's raids were of house-to-
haus nature and at many places en-
trance was forced. Stills, some of
them in actual operation. were con-
fiscated. The large quantity. of wea-
pons ranged from small-calibre pis-
tolls to sawed-off shotguns. Two
edged knives, many of foreign man
ufacture, we're greatly in evidence. At
numerous places the raiding officers
said generous stores of ammunition
were found hidden in sacks ordinari-
ly used by banks in keeping money.

TRUMPETERs REPLACE
OLD CHURCH BELL

Reading, Mass, March 12.-.The
Rev. John G. Wingett. pastor OF the
Old South Methodist Church of this
town. has installed new ale,hod for
bringing parishioners to the Sunday
evening service.
A large cross, eight feet high and
brightly illuminated, stands in the
belfry of the church. Sunday evening
two trumpeters stand at the foot OF
the cross and roll out the call to the
churchgoers. A notable increase Il
noted in attendance and fair sized
gatherings assemble on the common
and listen to the music.
After the congregation passes into
the church the trumpetera enter the
church auditorium, where, accompa-
MED by three violins, the electric or
gan and the choir hymns are sung
by the congregation, followed by the
evening sermon.
Mr.. Wingett is a firm believer In
music and has inaugurated this novel
idea with the belief that music will
draw the nonchurchgoers TO the serv-
ices.

ROMAN GIRL BURIED
WITH TOYS IN GRAVE

The Berlin Museum has acquired
a highly interesting and very touch
ing collection which is silently elo-
quent of the deep affection of Roman
parents for little girl in the time of
Tiberus. nearly 1000 years ago, and
their great grief at her death. The lit
tie body, with its toys, was found In
an excellent state Of preservation.
First there was clasped in the
child's hand the silHer coin with
which she was to pay Charon to row
her across the river Styx. Her little
dolls were placed with her, and ON a
little doll table was tiny silver can
dlestick. There were also little gaily
colored blocks together with a gold
brooch and a gold bracelet. The
toys weree evidently highly treasured
by the little girl.
