Hawaiian Japs
Are Ignorant

Honolulu.-That 800 of the Japan
csc living in the sugar plantation
camps of Hawaii never have been
touched by Christian propaganda and
that American plantation owners, man
ayers and others who have helped sup
port japanese Buddhist mission "did
a foolish thing, if ever man did, were
two of the statements made by Rev.
U. G. Murphy, representative of the
American Bible Society, in a recent
address here. Rev. Murphy also said
that the elder generation of Japanese
living in the plantation camps, owing
to their isolation, are forty years be-
hind their native country in thought
and understanding of modern condi-
tions. Any attempt at Americaniza-
ton of the japanese in Hawaii which
leaves untouched their home life and
fails to recognize that the key to the
problem is the Japanese language
schools is foredoomed to failure, Rev.
Murphy declared.

Paris The reply Of the council of
the league of nations to the American
note on the mandates question was
delivered to the American embassy
here at 1880 o'clock this afternoon.
Complete satisfaction of the claims
advanced by the U, S. in its note to
the council of the league of nations
relative to the Japanese mandatory
over the island of zap is understood
to be given in the note. The answer
to the American protest has been
couched in concilatory terms, says the
Martin, and the solutions of the prob
lem suggested should, the newspaper
declares, commend themselves to the
United States government. One plan
advanced would be the leaving of the
island of zap under the Japanese man
date, but would give control of the in
ternational cable station there to Am
erica. Viscount Kikujrio Ishii, the
Japanese representative on the council
is declared to have stated yesterday
Japan was ready to accept any COM
promise in the matter. The only def
mite information as to the contents of
the note is that its tone is particu-
larly friendly and that its general
tenor is an invitation to the United
States to continue the conversation.

Delinquent Tax Now
Totals Over S35O,OOO
Nearly All of it Is Tax Against Real
Estate to Be Paid Under the
Extension Rule.

Under the old law, Monday was the
last day for the payment of taxes and
when the treasurer looked over his
books this morning he found that
there was q delinquent tax amounting
to something between S350,000 and
100000. This is supposed to repre-
sent the amount which is to be paid
under claims for extension of time on
account of unemployment. This time
last year there was but $4,000 in city
taxes outstanding. 1t was declared
that with possibly two exceptions all
of the big tax payers had settled with
the city and that the tax outstanding
was for the most part taxes on real
estate. Nearly all of the assessments
for personal property and income tax
es have been paid and the delinquent
list will not be only larger than last
year in these departments of tax col
lection.

Farmers Oppose
Daylight Saving
County Agent B. r. Wood Declares
KenOsha County Farmers Oppose
Changed Time Schedule.

Benjamin F. Wood, county agent Of
Kenosha convinced that the farmers of
this vicinity are opposed to the plan
of adopting daylight saving schedule
according to his statement contained
in a bulletin issued today from state
headquarters of the farm board or
ganization. The local county agent
declares that the farmers have found
that the arrangement breaks into their
work too much and that it is practic-
ally impossible to change their SEIZED
ule to conform with the city business
system.
The bulletin sets forth the disad-
vantages of the daylight saving plan
and pleads that it be disregarded en-
tirely. 1t declares that daylight saw
ing would limit production and would
increase the cost of producing food
products.
The probability of farmers strike
is suggested in the bulletin when it
says:
"The working people in cities and
towns and millions of parents join the
farmers in resisting the iniquity of
such fool time. To farmers it is a
desperate matter. They have suffered
such reverses and now are confronted
by such a crisis that to force a fraud
time upon the farmer would be, the
last straw. Farmers never yet went
on strike, but they will be justified in
so doing if now compelled to submit
to fraud time, higher taxes, and other
fool laws in the face of lower prices.
at is possible that in Chicago that
the trains run on standard time and
the interurban lines on cuckoo time,
as Chicago's daylight-saving time has
been nicknamed. The man who leaves
his Office at 5:45 to make a 600 o'clock
train gets to the station at $500 o'clock.
If he starts out to make an electric
train, he misses it altogether. The
stranger coming into Chicago will find
himself an hour behind time and needs
the assistance of the police force to
figure out whether today is today or
day before yesterday.
"The milk trains will be set ahead

to hurry to bed to keep from meeting
themselves getting up. No one in
northeastern Illinois can make an APP
pointment or call meeting without
accompanying it by diagram to show
what variety of time he is talking
about.
"In spite of all this confusion and
loss of temper and sleep, it is doubt
full if the gardens will get any better
care than usual. Few people will BE
any happier. Hardly anyone mentions
daylight saving except to grumble
about it. The whole scheme is part of
the 'hysteria' that is one Of the results
of the war. Five years from now the
people of Chicago will wonder why
they were ever so foolish as to monkey
with the clock"
