NEW PRICE IN RECORDS.

Henry Morans of 365 Main street, local Victor distributor, announces new departure in Victor records whereby a number of 10-inch single face records formerly priced at 75 cents are now made in 10-inch double faced records at S1.00, and 12-inch single face records previously selling at S1.25 have been changed to 12-inch double face records at a new price of S1.50. This is a reduction of from 35 to 40 per cent, which will no doubt be appreciated by the record purchas- ing public, since it enables them to buy two Harry Lauder selections for very little more than the price of one, or Italian Street Song," by Lucy Marsh, and Tales of Hoffman-Bar- carolle.' by Marsh and Dunlap, on one record for $1.00.
 These newly arranged records are arriving daily at MT. Henry yMorans' store. and it would be esrr1tS1pr the music-loving public to- TT, Morans at their earliest
 and hear these records Vi

MISSOURI CREAMERIES WIN t,
FIGHT AGAINST BUTTER TAX

West Plains, Mo-, August 21.--
Creamery men in this section of the
state declare the industry in Missouri
and number of adjoining states has
been saved by the decision of the De-
partment of Justice that butter in
which limewater or soda has been
placed to keep it sweet can not tech.
nically be classed as having been adul-
terated. Missouri men made a hard
fight against the federal bill that pro-
posed tax of 10 cents on every pound
of butter thusly treated. Practically
all the butter produced in Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Ne
braska is from cream treated with
lime water and soda, and the pas
sage would have meant the virtual
ruination Of the entire butter industry
in these states, the butter manufac-
turers declared.
Senators and Representatives of
Missouri were enlisted in the fight
against the tax against this class Of
butter and the decision of the De-
partment of Justice means that butter
under the lime-water
and soda conditions will not be subject
to tax.

SAYS NO DANGER eay# Il
.alfb J&5t Il WAR WITH JAPAN

DIR. S. H. wainwright, brother of w.
M. Wainright, of Mcnett, says that
the Jap war scare isyellow journalism.
Or. Wain4ight has been missionary
to Japan for thirty-t,lree years and
asserts that the Japs are too good a
business nation not to calculate the
folly of fighting the United States.
DR.. wainwright was recently inter-
viewed by Globe Democrat reporter,
the Doctor said that "There is no
other foreign country in the iorld so
thoroughly Americanized as Japan.
More and more the japanese are be-
ing moulded into our way of thinking.
No parallel can be drawn between
Japan's ambitions and those Of mill
taristic Germany. The universal set
tlement among the vast majority of
Japanese is for trade, commerce with
other nations, particularly the United
States, and hostility which would en-
danger Japan's infant industries would
not be countenanced.
"From my frequent conversations
with government officials in Toxic, I
know that many of the alleged sore
spots which Japan is supposed to be
nursing do not exist. Beyond the hurt
pride caused by our refusal to admit
her workmen she has no real desire
to make an issue Of the California I'm
migrant question. Nor is she desir-
GUS to extend her power into the Oc-
cident in any way. She knows that
ample boundaries lie in the other Iii
rection, and sees that an expensive
foreign war would only set her back
another twenty or thirty years from
her ultimate goal, domination of the
Orient"
