@T is a hot, sultry day in far
away Japan, exactly the sort
of weather that suits the
moisture-loving rice plant. on top
Of a little mud wall around a small
field stands a thin yellow-skinned
man, clad only i'm black cotton trou-
sers and a big, woven reed hat that
looks much like the lid of a huge
cooking pan. He is a japanese
farmer. patient, hard working and
usually hungry.
He leans his weight on wooden
cross piece in a queer kind of rec
tangular framework that rests on
the top of the wall; with his feet he
operates a treadmill which turns a
water wheel with little cups or pad
dies set in its circumference. This
raises the water from the ditch be-
low and spills it into the field, which
looks just like a big mud pie.
Tomorrow the tiny rice plants will
be transplanted into this ''panny'
field which is being made ready so
carefully. Three or four weeks ago
the seed was sown, broadcast in a
smaller muddy field. much like this
one, and covered with water.
Very early next morning the
whole family arrives-father, moth
err, the older children, and perhaps
some outside helpers, three or four
chubby little round-faced babies, and
grandpa, who has come along for an
outing. Barefooted and with trou-
sers rolled to the knees, all but the
babies and grandpa wade into the
oozy mud and begin setting out the
young plants in rows about eighteen
inches apart. The last part Of the
days work is to flood the field, for
growing rice prefers to spend most
of it's time in water. That is the
reason the fields must always be
walled. Before long this little plot,
covering not more than two or three

acres at most, would remind you of
field of young oats, if you didn't
catch the CLEAN of water in between
the stems.
Hot. wet weather makes weeds
also grow rapidly. Sometimes the
natives wade into the water and
pluek out the weeds with their toes
as neatly as you could with your
hands; but usually each time weed
ing is needed the field is drained.
Then there is more work at the
treadmill until there is again enough
water to float the leaves. When the
leaves begin to change from green
to yellow the water is drawn off for
the last time. The grain then ripens
rapidly in the sun. Some varieties
mature in three months. Others re-
quire from four to six.
In Japan machinery has no part
in harvesting this crop. The straws
are cut with a hand sickle, a hand
full at time. Thrashing is very
simple. just pulling the heavy laden
heads through a saw-toothed frame
placed over a tub or cask. The
Jajanese. who learn to waste moth
ing, use the straw for making hats.
sandals, mating and bagging. The
roots are burned and return to the
field as fertilizer.
To get rid Of the outer husk the
grain is beaten with fails. The
tight-fitting inner covering is then
loosened in little hand mills. For
long hours at time women and
children sit on the ground shaking
the mixed grain and cnaff up and
down and to and fro in shallow reed
baskets, that the wind may blow the
chaff aU-av

Baker had never held nor sought public
office; Mr.. Bryan had done both. DR..
Baker was a member of one political party
and Mr.. Bryan another. Yet their ideals
politically were almost the same.
AS an organizer Dr. Baker has had few
superiors in the history of human en-
deavor. Mr.. Bryan on the other hand was
not so effective in organization, but he
could lead, he could prophesy. Both he
and DR.. Baker could illuminate against the
liquor traffic and any other evil that
seemed to them to be troubling the body
politic. They were of almost the same age
and death called each of them in what
should have been his prime.
One of the events at the Chicago Con
vention will be memorial to each of
these great leaders.

and Miss Gordon's message will be heard
with great deal of interest.
In casting over the speakers program
as now arranged one is struck by the fact
that SO many laymen are included in the
speakers list and that these laymen in
their everyday activities cover widely
divergent fields. These are business men,
professional men and government officials,
each one of whom will put before the
Convention his own idea of the enforce
ment situation and his suggestions as to
what must be done in the future.
1t is impossible, of course, to put into
space such as is at hand now the full de-
tails of this great Convention. The pres
ent edition of The American Issue is de-
voted exclusively to the Convention. Much
will be said in the next edition and much
is to be found out in the folders, posters
and other advertising material which has
been sent to district League superintend-
ents.

wanted it can be obtained by writing di-

LEADERS WILL BE HEARD
Addresses Will Tell of Progress of Fight
of Prohibition in United States

At the Chicago Convention the latest
news from the leaders of the temperance
fight in America will be heard. Addresses
scheduled by League officials will have
unusual significance at this time,
Bishop Thomas Nicholson, National
President, unsurpassed as keen observer,
may be expected in his formal Convention
address to sound note that will re-echo
around the world. DR.. F. Scott Mcbride,
National Superintendent, who has been in
every state except one since his selection
as Dr. Bakers successor, will have mes
sage that should be heard by every fighter
for prohibition in the army of the
churches DR.. Wayne B. Wheeler, Ma
tional Legislative Superintendent and DR..
Ernest H. Cherrington, secretary of the
World League Against Alcoholism, will
each give messages of unparalleled power
relative to the dry movement in their re-
spective fields of action.

LEADERS TO BE REMEMBERED

Two leaders of the prohibition forces of
America have passed away since the last
biennial Convention OF the Anti-Saloon
League. They are the Rev. DIR. P. A.
Baker, for score of years superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League, and William
Jennings Bryan, who as politician and
statesman wrought nightly for the bring
ing about of prohibition and its enforce
ment. ..;f. ,9t.a,l
These two men were widely divergent. in
some qualities aud characteristics, but
greatly akin in others. DR.. Baker was a
clergyman; Mr.. Bryan a lawyer. DR..

MUSIC BY ROPER

Alvin w. Roper, who was formerly
pianist for Billy Sunday in Sundays
evangelistic meetings, will be at the piano
in the Chicago Convention. An effort is
being made to get one of the most popu
lar song leaders in the country to work
with Roper, and it is certain that the
music at the Convention will be of the
finest character. $50,

GOVERNOR pINcHoT TO SPEAK

One of the greatest of all the sessions
of the Chicago Convention will be the
mammoth enforcement rally on Sunday
afternoon, November 8. Governor Pin
chot, of Pennsylvania, is to be the orator
of that hour. 1t is certain that, thanks to
the radio, literally millions will tune in
for that message.

IT'S A GREAT CONVENTION

Final arrangements for the Convention
of the Anti-Saloon League of America in
Chicago, November SO, and a Workers
Conference Immediately following are be-
ing shaped up. As the program nears
completion it is indicated that it will be
equal if not the superior of any previous
Anti-Saloon League program.
In the last few days II was made certain
that Alvin W. Roper, Billy Sundays pi-
anist, will be at the piano in the Conven-
ton: That means that the Convention
music will have pep and power. Mr.. Roper
has been in previous to his
very great credit.
The Thursday and Friday night ses-
sions of the Convention and the Sunday
afternoon mass meeting will be held IN
the Chicago Temple. This will be in adj
dition to the day services as previously
announced. The banquet the business
mems luncheon and some other meetings
will be held at the Hotel Sherman at
Clark and Randolph streets. The rally OF
Young people will be held Saturday even
ing at the Second Presbyterian Church at
Michigan Avenue and 10th Street.
Many of the State Leagues will have
their own headquarters which probably
will be- as the national will be, at the Ho-
tel Sherman.
Some of the things mentioned in this
article are mentioned elsewhere in this
edition but they are brought in here again
for emphasis because of their great I'M
portance. Attention is called again to the
rate of one and one-half fares from all
parts of the United States on all trains
and the fact that delegates must obtain
certificates upon purchasing tickets.
To get maximum publicity for the pro-
hibition survey from each state advance
copies should be sent to the office OF the
Anti-Saloon League of Illinois at 1900 Sc
curity Building, Chicago, as soon as pos
sible and as many days before the Con-
vention as they can be gotten ready and
forwarded 1t is suggested that if the
survey is not completed, important para
graphs in it should be mailed at once.
The dongs of the Chicago Convention
will be radiocast, at least parts of the pro-
gram will be sent out on the wireless.
Churches who broadcast religious pro-
grams on Sunday are requested to recog-
nize the Convention in their religious SER
vices.
The Convention will welcome very
heartily Miss Anna Adams Gordon, presi-
dent not only of the w. c. T. U. of Amer
lea, but international president of that or
ganization. Cooperation with the temper
ance reform organizations of the United
States is one of the things to be brought
forward at the Chicago Convention. The
Z w. c. T. U. has always cooperated in a
fine spirit with the Anti-Saloon League,
