Great Opportunity
For Japan in the
Industrial World

Toxic, Dec. 23-(By AIaiD-That
Japan has an opportunity, thanks to
| the benefits likely to accrue from the
limitation of ornaments proposals in
Washington, of revolutionizing her
industries and of establishing herself
as the producer of the finest and
lowest priced goods in the worlds
markets. is the conclusion reached
by Mr.. Il. Fujiyama, president OF the
Toxic Chamber OF Commerce in an
article in the Fitsugyo- Nippon, in
which he discusses the post anna
mcnt problems of this country.
Japan loves peace as much as
does any other nation in the world"
begins Mr.. Fujiyama, and she warm
~ supports the American proposal to
limit ornaments. If the nations of
the world are firmly resolved on
peace. ornaments can be altogether
abolished, though certain means of
defense must be proided for the
preservation of order"
Mr. Fujiyama goes on to show how
If Japan would reduce her land arma :
ments in the same proportion as she
will her naval forces. she can effect
reduction in her expenditure of
about four hundred million yen a
year.
AS to the proper use of this
money thus saved. the president of
the Chamber Of Commerce expresses
the opinion that nearly half Of it
should be applied to the abolition OF
such taxes as tend to retard indus
trial progress or interfere with the
rational welI-beinG. The taxes that
he would like to see repealed are
those now imposed on cotton textiles.

evaporates unless considerable heat is
applied.
In making use Of the carburetor
choke valve to start the engine a
large amount OF fuel is drawn into
the manifold and cylinders. I Only
the lighter and very volatile portions
Of this evaporate to form the explo-
sive mixture. Part Of the remaining
liquid fuel mixes with the lubricant
on the cylinder walls and works
down by the rings on the compression
stroke escaping into the crank case
and diluting the oil there The re-
mainder, and by far the larger part is
blown out through the exhaust, and
is wasted.
When tits liquid fuel has mixed
with the lubricating oil on the cylind-
er walls and in the crank case the
body and lubricating value of the oil
are decreased practically in proper
ton to the amount of fuel present II
the dilution is excessive the results
are:
!. Premature wear OF cylinders,
pistons. piston rings. crank shaft,
connecting rod and piston pin bear
ings, land possibly burned out bear
inGs.
2. An inefficient piston ing seal
with consequent loss Of compression
and power.
3. Fouling of spark plugs and car
bon deposits.
4. Excessive carbon sediment in
crank case.
5. Direct waste of fuel.
Preventing These Troubles Is Simple
In cool or cold weather provide the
radiator with some means of cutting
down the circula ton of air, particu-
larly when starting. This will allow
the engine to heat up quickly The
heavier portions of the fuel will then
be vaporized and burned instead of
being wasted and the car can be run
on a lean mixture and without the
use Of the choker.
When operating the car in winter
weather, particularly on short runs
with many stops. drain the crank case
Gil every 500 miles. In summer once

Easy to Stop
Spring Rattle

"a spring rattle is very annoying,
but many automobiles bear this an
noyance because they cannot spare
the time to have it eliminated"
states P. NJ. Lawrence, local Hudson
Essex dealer.
Hudson Super-Six drivers can stop
spring rattle in a very few moments
themselves by merely turning a nut
that locks in position at the spring
shackle.
"These noises are the result Of side
wear at the spring shackle. In the
Hudson Super-Six shackle arrange
ment, hardened steel plates are in
stalled, one on each side OF the
spring. The plates are held pressed
against the spring by shifting
sleeve or bushing. controlled by the
turning and locking OF nut
when this service operation is
compared with other methods such
as lacking up of axle. removal of
shackle bolt and the placing of thin
metal pieces between spring and
bracket, all unnecessary in the Super
Six. it is obvious that time and money
are saved through the Hudson meth

WAGES FOR FARM LABOR.

This is the season when the demand for farm
labor in North Dakota and northern Minnesota is
greatest, and when even a temporary failure in the
labor supply may bring ruin to the individual farm
err. During the past few years the labor situation
here has been uncertain, both from the standpoint of
supply and that of wages. In some seasons individ-
ual farmers have found that their harvest and
|threshing bills have consumed practically all the re-
turns from the crop, leaving the owner nothing to
compensate him for his own labor, and for alltthe
risks which he has been compelled to assume.
Conditions just now appear to be more nearly
normal than they have been for some years. Harvest
wages are higher than was the rule before the war,
and this is to be expected. Farmers as a rule, we be-
lieve, are prepared to pay reasonable wages. They
expect the man who drives the. team, shocks the
grain and pitches bundles to have a fair share of the
crop for his labor. They are not prepared to turn
over the entire crop in order to get it cut and thresh-
ed.
Thus far the indications have been for a fair
understanding between farmers and field hands, and
the supply of labor that is coming in on the prospect
of the ruling wages appear so be adequate, although
tributed the crop can be handled without great diff
ficulty.
Now and then the labor situation has been de-
moralized in particular neighborhoods by the action
OF individual farmers in advancing wages materially
beyond the rates which have commonly been ac-
cepted as fair. Such a course ~unsettles the labor Sit
uation in that community. When farmers get to
bidding against each other for men the invariable
result is that all of them pay out more money for
less satisfactory work.
We believe that the general desire is to pay
fair wages and to provide wholesome and %satisfac-
tory working conditions. 1t should be taken for
granted that this is to be done everywhere. and if
the farmers adhere quietly to that program there
should be no difficulty in getting the work done.

IS THIS THE ONLY DUTY?

The deliberate massacre of non-union miners at
Herrin, Illinois, was one of the most atrocious
crimes ever committed on this continent. One of
the most deplorable features in connection with it
is the fact that an entire community is either so
sympathetic with crime or so intimidated that it has
been necessary to prod local officials into action be-
fore even the semblance Of the assertion of the au-
4thority of law could be brought about.
that the organization will assist in the defense of
any Of its members who are charged with completely
in this crime. He processes, for himself and his or
ganization, the strongest opposition to violence, but
his point is that in order to make a record. the pub
lie authorities will railroad men to the scaffold, in
nocent or guilty, and he proposed that members of
his organization who may be accused shall have a
square deal. .... ay
A declaration for the square deal is always pop
ular. Mr.. Farrington's protestations would have
had a more convincing appearance, however, if he
had pointed out when and where, and in what man.
ner he or any of the local members of his organiza-
ton, who are right on the ground, have aided in any
way, not in preventing the conviction of innocent
men, but in identifying and bringing to justice the
guilty ones.
Regardless of what the local authorities may do
or leave undone, the union miners of the Herrin dis
trict stand charged before the bar of public opinion
with the commission of this dastardly crime. Those
of them who are not guilty can convince the public
of their innocence by making a real effort to bring
the actual murderers to justice. If they fail to make
that effort, while juries may acquit individuals. the
Herrin union miners rest under the charge of being
a band of bloody criminals.

BIRDS OF A

Lynn J. Frazier found himself in congenial COM
pany on Sunday when he was one of the speakers
at a picnic held for the purpose of promoting GER
tain political candidates. in Minnesota and of raising
a fund to be divided among striking railway shop
men and one of the more or less numerous Russian
relief funds. 1t is not stated whether or not this
particular relief organization is the one promoted
by Walter Liggett, and to which numerous promi-
nent men were induced to lend their names through
Misrepresentation. %
Mr.. Frazier said that he had been recalled from
the position Of governor of North Dakota because
he had refused to obey the order of Twin City bank
es to r%epudiate the league program in North Da-
kota. Mr.. Frazier's memory is at fault. He was
recalled because the people Of North Dakota had
concluded that no other course was open to them
If they were to save their state from the %irretriev-
able disaster which was sure to overtake it if the
mismanagement of the Frazier regime were permit
ted to continue longer. r..
Mr.. Frazier having suffered this Slight lapse Of
memory, it is not strange that he should have for
gotten that he is the Republican candidate for a
seat in the federal senate. Otherwise he surely
would not have made the accusations against the
Republican administration which he did make.
Among the other speakers at the picnic was
Magnus Johnson, farmer-labor candidate for COVER
nor of Minnesota against the Republican nominee
for that position. Mr.. Johnson seems to have made
a mistake in coming to the United States. Before
he came he thought that this was a land of liberty.
Since learning its language and studying its institu-
tons, he said, he has changed his mind. He ap-
pears not to have explained why, having discovered
his error, he did not correct it by leaving a land
which he found so little to. his liking, He bestowed
hearty praise on socialist members Of the Minnesota
senate and house, and referred to his association
with them and "other Bolsheviks' in the past.
All of this would be particularly pleasing to. Mr..
Frazier, notwithstanding his Republican can
didacy, for he has enjoyed close and cordial rela-
tons with lot Of other people who found in the
United States nothing to praise and much to de-
notn,ce, and who have been particularly savage in
their assaults on the Republican party. Z
The organization which groomed Mr.. Frazier
for his present candidacy has been trying to impress
on all North Dakota Republicans the duty of sup
porting the party candidate. After that Mime
apolis meeting there should be no doubt as to what
the North Dakota Republicans should do.
