A MOUSE AND A KEG OF HooCH

A remarkable story was told Us
last week by an Oakley man whose
name, for obvious reasons, must be
Blank in these columns.
Blank says he has a barrel Of
moonshine likker, which, so far rs
effect is concerned, is not surpassed
by anything on earth. After he has
swallowed two or three drinks, life
takes on a different meaning for
him and for everybody within
smelling or hearing distance of him.
Blank says that all his difficulties
vanish, all his problems are solved
and he becomes as braveand strong
as hundred lions.
According to Blanls, at such
times, the mere pleasure of being
alive-and drunk-is so great that
he cannot refrain from throwing his
hat into the air and hollering. Tho
intensity of his hilarity may be
guessed fromthe fact that Lon Mar
tndale occasionally hears him q
mile away.

The first bottle of Tanlac to reach

six years ago. Its success was imme-

Ghere have been sold throughout this

Twenty Million (20,000,0OO) bottles,
establishing record which has pro-

Fame Is International
The instant and phenomenal sue
cess which Tanlac won when it was
first introduced has been extended to
practically every large city, small

or twelve $1,000 ones. Six barbecues
in different places around the city
and towards evening the multitude
moved to the stadium with a seating
capacity of $4,000, but 10000
crowded in. Here the great battle
of Chateau Thierry was wonderfully
re-enacted, 10000 taking part.
$4,000 went up in fire works-money

JAPAN To STICK
FOR BIC NAVY,
DELEGATES SAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Admiral
Baron Kato declined tonight to dis
cusS the situation arising from the
disagreement of the naval experts
on the ratio of limitation, but one
of those high in authority in the
Japanese delegation unequivocally
declared Japan believed her 20 per
cent ratio was vital because she be-
lieves anything less would place the
empire at the mercy of other great
naval powers. He added that he
felt the Japanese were justified in
contendinG for a higher ratio, be-
lieving that the spirit of the Amer
lean proposals supported japan in
her demand for permanent navy
large enough to safeguard her ma
tional interests.
The japanese view was represented
in a political sense, as follows:
Japan for the moment has no guar
anty, nor has the present conference
found a guarantee. that no diff
culties will arise In the future. II
such a guarantee existed and the
Japanese could return home with the
conviction that all would be har-
monious in the future, there would
be no need of insisting on any higher
naval ratio. But Japan from a prae-
teal point OF view and from the
standpoint of the comparative
strength of navies. feels she must
maintain a naval force large enough
10 defend Japan adequately.
Japan would venture no specula-
ton as to a possible solution OF the
deadlock among the experts. Jap
anese here IN an unofficial capacity
express the opinion that Japan could
not put herself IN the eventual posi-
ton OF putting a break IN the con-
ference. They expressed anxiety.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-The $50
naval ratio and the long debated
problem of Shantung today ushered
the Washington conference into a pc
riod of increasing delicacy.
Japan's formal request for a 10-10-7
naval strength as compared with the
United States and Great Britain was
taken under consideration by the
naval big three" with the American
attitude of determined opposition re-
naming unchanged.
In her latest request, Japan pro-
posed to abandon the yard stick of
existing strength and measure the
new ratio on a basis of national Sc
curity. Under that plan her 10-10-7
suggestion would be acceptable to
neither the United States nor Great
Britain
The same differences were dis
cussed in the three cornered sub
committee of naval experts, without
result. Finally giving up the effort
to reach a solution on technical
basis, the sub committee adjourned
sine die.
Shantung, over which China quit
the Versailles conference, got into
llle he5olldtious through an OLIer py
Secretary Hughes and A. J. Balfour
to use their good offices" in help
ing Japan and China to compose their
differences.
The suggestion, accepted by the
Japanese and Chinese, was made aft
er China had indicated her intention
to bring the subject before the con-
ference
Meantime, in spite of the growing
pressure of the opposing views, the
American spokesman declared then
confidence that both the naval and
Far Eastern questions would be
brought to a solution adhering tc
the principles laid down in the So:
ration and the American four points
