FLOWERS POP THE QUESTION

The japanese courting is as apt
to start in a flower message as any
other way, the swain indicating his
passion by tossing a pale plum
flower in the litter as the object Of
regard is carried by him. If she
tosses it out his suit is elected, but
if she fastens it at her kimona Cir
die the affair may go forward.
Another method is for the lover
to slip up to his loved ones door at
midnight and fasten spray of
blooming celastrus alatus above the
door. The next morning he walks by
the house. If the spray is still
there all is over. But if it has been
taken in, or if it has been watered,
he knows the maid is his.
The actual terms Of the marriage
settlement are carried on by a 60
between, always a man. A "compli-
mentary present" is then sent, and

TIME HAS COME
TO REDUCE ARMS
Henry White Gives Views to Naval
Committee-Pershi to Appear

Washington, Jan. 22.-Another of
the American commissioners who
helped draft the treaty of Versailles
Henry White, ambassador to France
under President Roosevelt, told the
house naval committee today that
the time was ripe for world disarn-
ament and that the United States
should initiate the movement.
General Pershing's views will be
sought next Tuesday. The commit
tee already had heard Gen. Tasker
H. Bliss, former American represen-
tative on the supreme war council
and a member Of the peace delega-
tion; Secretary Daniels and Acting
Secretary Davis of the state de-
partment. Whether it will hold fur
ther hearings after Tuesday had not
been determined.
Mr.. White gave it as his opinion
that the great burden of taxation
resulting from the world war made
the peoples of all nations anxious to
cut down on expenditures for arma-
ments. He expressed it that the
world was "crying for some agree
nentn tn limit armaments as q
means of reducing taxes.
! Discussing the proposed naval
holiday the former ambassador
said he did not think the United
States should stop the naval con-
struction it now has under way. He
said he would like to see the United
States at the top when the disarma-
ment discussion begins, and suggest
ed that the relative sizes of navles
could be fixed by agreement at the
proposed conference. He added
that questions raised at the confer
ence might show "the right of some
nations Great Britain, for instance
to a larger navy than others.
Because of the theatened spread
Of Bolshevism, the witness said
France might object to disarma-
ment on land. In this connection he
said that "the state Of chaos" in
which Germany had been kept over
reparations was doing more to open
the way to Bolshevism than any 9TH
er single factor.
AS to the time Of calling a con-
ference, Mr.. White said that should
be left to President-elect Harding.
He did not think President Wilson
should call it, as the fact that he
would retire on March 4 might lead
the other nations not to take the in
vitation seriously.

the contents are drunk in cups little

also sends a long piece of white

port.
An unfavorable report has been
made on Mr.. Wightman's bill which
seeks to abolish the Board of Public
Welfare.
Senator Moore, OF Abbeville, sug-
gested that as joint hearings were
being held, that time might be
saved by the prompt printing of the
appropriation bill, as soon as the
Joint hearings were over with, and
that after the bill came to the Sen
ate from the House, that it be con-
sidered without further reference
to the Finance Committee. This sug-
gestino went over for further con-
sideration.
A number of bills relating to local
matters were approved, and have al
ready been sent over to the House.

western Oregon counties. the Lane
county court has announced that the
wage schedule for highway and con-
structton work during the coming

laborers. and 81 n day for men with
teams. based on an cight-hour day.
Last year the going wage was 81 for
laborers and IS n day for men with

figures compare favorably with the
rates for labor on farms. in tho mills
and logging camps. II Is anticipated
that there will be no difficulty In Sc.

II is not considered likely that the
mills will get back TO the working
basis OF last year until late In the

Are We Awake to the Situation?

We have written on the subject of
our facing the boil weevil situation,
but we still feel that our business men
and farmers are sitting still and doing
nothing when the situation demands
action. Elsewhere in this paper is
printed a program for farmers to fol-
low in farming next year. This pro-
gram has been gotten up by the best
informed farmers and business mei
in the State and is good sound advice.
Our County Agent, Mr.. W. ]. Tiller,
has called meeting of farmers and
business men for next Monday at the
Court House at eleven o'clock to dis
cuss and outline program to be fol-
lowed in Chesterfield County. Now
tie situation demands that every busi-
ness man and farmer who can posi-
bly, get there, be at that meeting.
Unless our people get busy and line
up a program and see to it that our
farmers follow the program we will
surely suffer the consequences.
Do your part by attending meetings
and doing what you can to help put the
program across.
