JAPS INVADING OHIO

According to a news dispatch ap-
pearing elsewhere, large colony OF
Japanese farmers will soon be located
not very great distance from New
ark. .
According to the article a tract OF
about 5000 acres of highly productive
muck land near Willard has been
leased for term of years to a num-
ber of Japanese farmers who have
been driven from western territory
where the laws prevent them from
owning or leasing property. !,
Ohio presents no such obstacle, and
after looking about these people have
chosen the tract mentioned, and in
very short time about 500 Of them
will be located there. For wonder
the people up in that neck of the
woods offer no objection to the pro-
ject, but rather seem to favor it, and
look upon it as a most desirable ac-
auisition to the welfare of the COM
munity.
This valuable farming land is own
ed by a company which has expert
enced great difficulty in inducing
white men to locate upon and cultl-
vate it, and this opportunity to lease
a large number of acres was evident
ly regarded as a God send and was
jumped at with avidity.

New Compensation
Law in West Va.

Charleston, w. Va.-A new COM
pensation law, which provides for
greater benefits to workers, has been
passed by the state legislature. This
session of the law-making body was
marked by a record attention to the
demands of labor.
While the bill to abolish the private
mine and guard system failed by a
close vote in the senate, several other
demands of labor were approved.
These include law requiring rock
dusting and other protective measures
in coal mines that will go far toward
safeguarding the lives and limbs of
workers. A loan shark bill specifying
the interest rate these money lenders
may charge, was passed. Labor de-
feated all proposals to outlaw strikes.
Other measures favored by anti-un-
ionists were defeated.
The workers will renew their fight
against the private mine guard sys-
tenn, which was denounced by the two
major parties in their platforms.

CANDIDATES LOOMING UP

The political pot is beginning to
simmer, with indications that as time
draws nearer for closing the date set
for filing petitions it will be fairly
boiling over.
1t is rumored that a number OF per-
sons are willing to sacrifice them
selves upon the political altar and
serve the people as public servants in
the various positions which are to be
filled this year.
AS vet but one candidate has ,siled
his papers as an aspirant for Mayor.
Charlie Kent, who for the past two
years has so acceptably filled the
chair as President of the City Coun-
ell to the complete satisfaction of
that honorable body and the city in
general, and who was candidate for
Mayor as an independent candidate
last time, but failed to reach the COW
eted goal, has again renewed his
allegiance with the G. 0. P. and asks
for the nomination, on that ticket.
Other patriots are willing to accept
the job, provided the people want
them. Among the eager host is our
friend H. H. Scott, ("Scotty") who so
efficiently filled the position of Pres
ident of the City Council couple of
years ago. Scotty is hustler and
will make things hum when he gets
started. 1t is also generally under
stood that Mayor Stevens will ask
for a second term and make stiff

JAP COLONY
TO LOCATE ON FARM LAND
NEAR WILLARD
Proposed Settlement Meets With No
Opposition From City Dwellers
or Farming Community

Willard, Ohio-A Japanese colony
is to locate on the Willard muck to
farm the big tract of land owned by
the Ohio Farms Company, and the
first delegation is expected to arrive
in about two weeks.
The japanese are leasing the land
for ten years periods with the option
to buy. Eventually they will take
about three thousand of the COM
pany's 1000 acres. Five and six room
houses are being built for them.
When once located, the Japs, who
have been expert gardeners for CEN
turies, will soon transfer the marsh
land into highly producing land. The
people coming are of a high class,
Gated in the United States schools and
that among their leaders are grad
yates of American colleges and uni
versities. They are Americanized
Christians and are clean, industrious,
abiding people and no objections
could be raised to their locating on
the muck land, which has lain COM
paratively idle for twenty years. Sew
eral companies nave met 1allufe be-
cause they could not get people to
farm it and efforts to get Americans
or Europeans to take over the land
as at first planned has been unavail-
ing.
The Japs will soon get the wild
land under cultivation and transfer it
into one of the most productive areas
in the United States, and that it will
be of benefit to surrounding towns
because the new arrivals will pa
tronize local stores and banks and
the crops will bring much money into
the community.
While there may be many in this
locality who might object to a colony
of Japanese locating here, yet all the
active opposition so far seems to
have been started by outsiders. The
Japs are soon to be here, and there is
nothing that could be done to prevent
| their coming.
Contrary to press reports appear
ing in many papers, it has been i'm
possible to find in Willard, Celery
Vile or Plymouth any group or indi-
viduals who have made formal pro-
tests against the coming of the Jap
anese.

To Be the Greatest
Referendum Battle
Ever Held in State
Especial to The Leader)

Columbus, o. = Voters of Ohio
might as we'll get ready for the great
est referendum election were held in
this great state. 1t will be next No
vember, and is going to include a
number of important legislative acts
which passed over the veto of Gov
ernor Vic Donahey. Petitions for
these referendums are now being cir
culated, and more will be within
another week or two.
Of course the courts will have to
determine about the gasoline tax ref
erendum, but tax issues and other
bills which fail to please are sure to
be on the November ballot. 1t isn't
at all haphazard guess to say that
when the voters get chance at these
bills they will be most mercilessly
slaughtered. Ohio voters, like those
of other states, have habit of vot-
ing no on matters on which they are
not fully informed, and it takes a
pretty good memory to recall a law
which has been approved by Ohio
voters when up to referendum de-
cision.
Agitation for some of these meas
ures will be made by those who ben
eft, and columns of propaganda will
be sent to Ohio newspapers, but some
how or other a very large majority
of Buckeye taxpayers are pretty GER
tain that there are enough laws in
the state now if properly enforced
to meet all governmental require
ments if properly expended.

The leaders now have only 10 store away two of their remaining four contests in their capacious beaks and the yare assured of a tie in the league.

Defeat Windies in Y League and
 Take Title

Tom Groves Submarine voiley hall team won the yoiley ball cham pionship in the " Saturday Night Volley Ball League fast Saturday evening when they defeated the Windjammers for the second time, in three hard fought games.
 The Subs. with two men missing, took the floor at 8 ?. m. and won the first game rather easily, defeating the Windjammers 16-5. Doc. Hand of the Whales held a consultation with his team at the very begining of the second game, changed his lineup a little and his team pro- ceeded to put their formation plays into working order. The Whales would draw the oposing players over and then at the right moment a Windy player would make a killing shot at an unguarded spot and the Subs in their haste 10 return the shot lost all sense of direction and the ball would either be knocked up into the gallery, netting or go outside of the boundery lines. The Whales, continuing this method of play, soon ran the Subs ragged and won the game 15-1S.
 The third game proved repeti- ton of the second, score Of l5-13. Dressel starred for the Subs, Dorsey and Kutscher for the Whales.
