Improved Methods Increase
Rice Production

Toxic, Oct. 24.-While Japan does
not produce sufficient rice for the
needs of her people, who, even after
an elaborate banquet require a bowl
or more Of their staple food, produc-
ton has kept pace with the increase
Of the population. In the early days
Of the Meiji reign, when the popula-
ton was 35,000,0OO, there was 35, ,O0O,-
600 koku Of rice produced. This year
with population Of 10000, 900, the
crop is estimated at an equal number
Of ksku. The Increase in production
is due more to improved methods than
greater acreage under cultivation.

SEVERAL LOCAL
CONTESTSSEEN
Democrats Will Have Primary
Contests for Alderman in
Three Wards
ONE G. o. P. CONTEST
MayoraIty Candidates Are
Unopposed to Date--Look
for Hard Fights

All indications at this time are for
a lively primary contest in the va
rious wards of the city, in which
candidates will be selected next
month for the position of aldermen.
Except for the third ward it looks
as if the Republi ans will escape a
primary fight, but the Democrats
seem to have a contest in all of the
three wards in which aldermen are
scheduled to be nominated.
According to the long list of can
didates whose names have been
mentioned in connection with the
Democratic nomination for aldermen
in the first ward, the voters in ehis
p imary should be able to select a
o..ndida. suitable to them. A COM
plete list of the possible candidate
IN this ward as compiled today con-
sists ames as follow ):
William e. Olsen, Edward Hardi-
man, Max l.. Scott and James Hen
derson. Mr.. Henderson was defeat
feated at the last election for alder.
man in the ward by John e. Sofield
From time to time during the past
two or three weeks. the various
men whose names are mentioned
above have been suggested as can
didates with the exception of MIR.
Olsen, who is a newcomer on the
list of candidates. Indications are
that Mr. Olsen will be a candidate
as his name has been heard fire.
quently during the past few days
when discussion with members OF
the City Democratic Club took place.
Mr.. Olsen is member of several
clubs and organizations and has
taken considerable interest in civic
affairs He is one of the proprie-
tors of the o. K. Electrical Supply
Company.
Mr.. Hardiman is connected with
Seamans Pharmacy, while Max
Scott is a leading real estate broker
of the city. Mr.. Henderson is the
proprietor of trucking business.
AS far as the Republican primary
is concerned in this ward, it is un-
likely that Alderman Sofield will
have opposition.
In the third ward, both the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans seem to have
a fight looming up before them. The
Democratic struggle, according to
reports, will be between Alderman
Thomas Patten and James j. Flynn,
while the Republican contest for
TIL, nomination of alderman in this
ward will be waged between l.. Burt
Moore and Antonio F. Munoz. Both
Munoz and Moore declare they in
tend to put up fight such as the
ward has never seen and say whoever
is nominated will have earned the
honor.
In the fifth ward, Alderman John
j Clark will run for denomination
probably against Joseph Maloney.
This contest will be one of special
interest to the people of the city as
a whole. as it will show whether or
not Alderman Clark still retains his
popularity in the ward which he mas
represented for many years on the
Board of Aldermen. The Republi-
can candidate in this ward will be
Michael P. Trygar. it is said
