KATO WILL TAKE
BIG PART in THE
WASHINGTON MEET

Toxic, Sept. 2o.-tMai .)-simplic-
ity and mpdesty are the striking traits
Of Admiral .Tomosaburo Kato. minis
ter of marine, who as Japanese dele
gate to the Washington conference,
will fill a most important role in the
statement to the Associated Press last
year which first let the world know
that Japan was ready seriously to
discuss the armament limitation. AS
evidence Of sincerity he announced
that his country would not necessarily
insist upon the completion Of the
much talked Of S-8 program, that is
to say, the maintenance of eight
dreadnaughts and eight b~attleships.
Japan's naval minister is not only
a man Of proven sea caliber but he
is a statesman OF achievement. A. con-
sentative japanese newspaper said
that he could handle all the problems
that may conceivably be brought up
at the conference with as much in
telligence and skill as anybody else.
But his strongest recommendation is
will not hesitate to assume necessary
responsibilities at important moments
without reference to the home gov
eminent.
Kato is really the builder of Japan's
modern navy. He has in fact been
the head Of Japan's marine since
august, 1915, collapse of ministries
having left Kato unaffected because
his capacity was held to be above all
considerations Of politics. He was
born on February %, 1859, in Hiro-
shima and after passing through diff
ferent grades OF the service he took
an eminent part in the Russo-Japan-
ese war, being the right hand officer
of the famous Admiral Togo. He
was appointed vice admiral in 1908
n became minister Of navy under
the Okuma cabinet.
Admiral Kato's long service as
minister makes him the senior mem
Der of the cabinet, next to the pre-
mier. A prominent Japanese said of
him:
admiral Kato has a clear head, is
mathematical and we'll versed on
international issues upon which he
possesses his own original ideas"
kato's .namesake, Admiral Sada-
kichi Kato, paid a great tribute to
the delegates intellectual penetration,
re~sourcefulness and rapidly Of de-
cision.
Had he been a statesman, pure
and simple" said the admiral, "Kato
would have been a great statesman
He Is a wide reader and his library
includes many books on a variety OF
subjects in the English language in
which he is proficient both as to read

Practically every large job in that

There is sufficient cement in Minne-

ORIGIN OF ANCIENT PHRASE.

The saying, when ii Rome" used
often as an admonition to people. who
seem unable to accommodate them
selves to the ways and of
those they associate with, is one Of
the mos ancient anecdotes known to
literature.
1t refers to a conversation between
st. Augustine and St. Ambrose.
st. Augustine was somewhat puz-
lied about the regulations concerning
abstinence rom high feasting. be-
cause in some parts of Italy Saturday
was observed as a fast day, and in
others Sunday was set aside for
abnegation. He consulted st. Am
prose-, calling his attention to the fact
that In Rome Saturday was a fast day,
prevailed.
When am in Milan I do not
fast on Saturday. When in Rome T
do fast on Saturday."

COUNTY EXHIBITS AT THE STATE
FAIR.

Not having been WON more than
once by any county. the massive solid
silver loving cup offered by the Jack
sonville chamber of commerce still
leaves the contest for its capture a
free-for-all affair between the counties
of Florida competing for the honors
in the agricultural building of the
Florida state Fair and Exposition.
This cup was offered by the cham
Der Of commerce in 1918 as an indica ;
ton of its desire to boost the fair In
every possible way in the development
of the agricultural exposition-the
backbone of the fair"
Two fairs were held in that year.
Alachua county got the first hold on
the trophy at the February exposition.
At the December fair Marion county
came along and wrested the cup from
Alachua's grasp.
Neither Of these counties had gotten
tight grip on the loving cup and hal
to give way to Escambiai county in
1919 Then, in 1920 St. Lucie county
came up and claimed it for that year.
The conditions for permanent pas
session of the cup were that it must
be won for three successive years by
one county.
st. Lucie county has not yet signed
up for this years fair from November
u to 10, inclusive, and unless she
completes again the contest for the
coveted cup viii virtually begin all
over. Counties that have reserved
space for this years fair are: Putnam,
Taylor, Columbia, Bradford, Alachua,
Escambia, Suwannee, Madison, Gads-
den, Leon and Duval Only three
spaces are left.
An entirely new feature of the ag-
ricultural exposition this year will be
| a contest between the competing
counties for a 500 cash prize offered
by the Fair association for the county
that scores $50 points out of possi-
bic 1000. This has just been an
