JAPAN'S NEW REGENT

While it would be difficult to de-
scribe, there undoubtedly exists no
mean power of influence inherent in
the position of head of the Japanese
empire. The son of the sick emperor
less than year ago was sent for a
tour of parts of the world and re-
Gently returned from a six months
trip. He Is but twenty years old and
at this age when impressions record
deepest he has been given opportuni-
ty to learn how other countries con-
duct their affairs. On his return he
is appointed regent. He is said to
have a youths enthusiasm for dem
ocratic ideals and wishes to come in
contact with his subjects after the
manner of the English royalty.
That ne is permitted to SO conduct
himself, that he was permitted to go
abroad, help to convince the outsider
that the power Of conservatism, of
those restraining forces descended
from the days when the fowery king
dom was sealed against the rest of
the world, are wonderfully changed.
The spirit of exclusiveness has I'M
dergone great changes since the sibyl
enjoyed the scclusion of the Cumaean
crypt and enhanced her power by
secrecy, but nowhere so swiftly as
in Japan. 1t is conducive to conf
dence, but mischief is yet furtive and
the oriental mind seems very adapta-
BILE to the ways Of secrecy.

lex! Isn't that lovely name for a
young lady director? She is all that
her name implies. too. ard she has
taken a good deal OF raw material
and made it into a finished product
as the show will testify. OF course
all her material is not raw. not by
any means, for she has some OF the
most talented and experienced young
musicians ard dancers in the city in
the cast. The following are the
principals:

sailors and guests.
The show is in two acts and the
scene is laid on the steamship Flor
ida, bound for Pleasure Bay. The
plot hinges on a set of false teeth.
Fancy. Not very poetic to be sure
but vet it has been so woven that
it is exceedingly funny and many
side-splitting situations arise from
it. Billy, the college boy. with his
sister and his chum and her chum
are all on this southern sea voyage.
Both young men are in love with the
same girl but Billy having had sew
eral front teeth knocked out in a
football game, can hardly make love
, in the face Of such disaster so has
some false ones put in. In some
way he manages to lose them or
swallow them and then in his des-
peration he steals all the false teeth
on board the ship in vain endea-
vor to get a set which will fit him.
His chum to make matters worse in
terferes and tries to prevent him
getting them and-well that is part
of the plot. 1t is a scream from
start to finish and much comedy is
furnished also by the sailors. Bull

County Agent T. M. Williams will be kept busy the greater part of this week in giving demonstrations in ter racing at Barney, Beckett Mountain and Naylor. This method of prevent ing the loss of valuable soil by wash ing is proving of immeasurable bene- fit to farmers owning land exposed to this danger, and the county agent is almost flooded with calls. Demon strations are advertised in advance and are watched by as many farmers who will come.
 Requests for terracing now on file at MT. Williams office would, if ans wered, keep him on the run from now until planting time. Since other phases of farm and club work also demand his attention, demonstrations in terracing will be arranged so as to reach the greatest possible number.
