that Japan is stirring up internal strife

is now proceeding at Dairen. Mari

representatives. The Chita delegates
contend that Japan called the confer

Washington that all the questions re-
lating to the evacuation Of Japanese
troops from the Russian Far East are
being settled throusi, negotiations out
side the armament conference. The
assembly's appeal to the nations says:

means loss of Russian sovereignty and

Japanese supplied munitions. and the
entire responsibility for this attack
rests with the Japanese.
"The Russian people Of the Far East

Something to
Think bOuf
FROM THE SHADOWS
By r. II. WALKER

THE man or woman who smiles
= upon us from the lowly cottage
door, ever ready to offer a helping
hand to the unfortunate and to give
cheerful encouragement to the weary,
has, through tenderness and love
found the way to a sunshine that
grows brighter and brighter until the
end of life.
The dismal panorama of dark
clouds has drifted away from the
sky and nothing remains but the crys-
tai depths of benevolent blue,
Despair has yielded to confidence,
but not without first marking it's exit
with sorrows and tears, and perhaps
also ragged dishonor, thus fitting the
soul for the comforting change.
Erring, thoughtless, selfish, un-
true, and living in the valleys Of
darkness while the beauties of Ma
ture were striving for mastery, the
shadowed soul found 1t difficult to
rise to the glorious heights where
the atmosphere was sweet and pure.
If, when you are In the shadows,
you expect an angel from heaven to
come to earth and lead you away to
blissful elysium, you will find that
you are still living among shadowy
delusions.
To break away from the sombrous
shade lurking everywhere about us
is extremely difficult, but with a
heart filled with a struggling radi-
ancy of faith, sustained by qualities
which only faith can give us, we
can do it, and reach the state of
tranquil content which comes quiet
ly to the earnest and sincere, Ike
the sunshine of morning after a night
of storm.
We may clap our hands to the
heights but we cannot reach them
except by our own unceasing en-
deavor.
We must expect tired, bruised feet
We must anticipate slips and falls and
sickening sense of our own in
nffnltleS, out we must keep climbing
keep holding fast all the while to the
hand of shining-eyed Faith, who, In
spite of our unworthiness, will lead
us hour by hour to higher ground.
There are many ways in which we
may help ourselves, but not until
our hearts have been properly attuned
to the dominant key and kept in
tune.
Hard work, high thinking and a
charitable attitude towards others will
be found helpful attendants, for with
out their first aids no man or woman
however accomplished or exalted, can
hope to emerge from the shadows and
write an acceptable record of a we'll
spent life.

HONESTY

a TEN-DOLLAR bill is either good
I = or bad. A man Is either honest
or dishonest.
If he is honest he will not cheat or
steal, or take undue advantage Of an
other man, under any circumstances.
If he is dishonest, his cheating and
stealing will be limited only by his
opportunity or his timidity.
The difference between big thieves
and little crooks Is sometimes diff
ference of opportunity-mOre often a
difference Of courage.
The little thief doesn't steal con-
tinually because he is afraid to. The
big thief has less timidity-or less
Imagination, and steals whenever he
has a chance.
But one is just as dishonest as the
other. And often the little fellow Is
the worse, for he adds cowardice to
| his crookedness.
A full-grown man or woman, trained
in life who does a dishonest action,
will do another under the same cir
| cumstances.
A boy or girl, lacking this training
will sometimes become straight with
the growth Of intelligence.
For the ancient adage about hon.
esty being the best policy is so ap-
parent to common sense that even peo.
pie who are mentally crooked often
turn honest and remain honest, mere.
ly because more profit can be had In
that manner of life.
1t is well to apply the honesty test
to yourself, and change your method
IL you find that under certain circum
stances you would take advantage OF
a fellow creature-legally or lille
gally.
1t is well to drop friends that yor
catch cheating at cards or at golf, OF
In business. For the cheat Is a par
ticularly despicable form of crook
and deserves no friends whatever.
Never think that man or woman
Is little dishonest. or dishones
about some things and honest abou
others.
