the immigration act did bring bitter

Japan will never war over the i'm.

so much admirns. And Japan is conf

"True, war with Japan is possible

war with japan is not at all probable

must be added this further one. name.

Irish Farmers Selling

There is constant complaint in
Irish cities Of the great difference be-
tween the price Of agricultural prod
uce to the consumer and the price the
farmer gets for 1t. In County Wick
low the growers are attempting to get
fair prices by displaying their goods
in the villages and at wayside cot
tages, appealing to the thousands Of
passing motorists attracted by the
beautiful scenery
Many automobiles returning to
Dublin are full Of vegetables, fruits
and flowers bought at less than half
the city prices. The newspapers urge
the imitation OF this practice in other
counties. They say that it owes its
origin to American example.

Trickerv Shows in Face.
By J. o. ABERNETHY.

Those who acquire the art Of read
ing faces will avoid many heartaches
and often great monetary loss. II
they will but apply their knowledge
to practical uses. You can discover
dishonesty in the face because the
sign is plainly written there.
If a. man or a woman has a thin.
tightly closed upper lip and hollow
cheeks. you my he sure that he Or
she cannot be trusted. This combina-
ton is an infallible index to dis
honesty and trickery. Do not trust
this type with your family secrets
or with your jewels.
a close watch should be kept on
men and women who have the above
characteristics because they are likely
not only to trick you out of property.
but they would not hesitate to resort
to blackmail to attain their ends
should they be in possession OF infor-
nation that might be basis for such
action.
We make our own faces. II we are
honest, kind, generous and loving our
faces will show it. And. so, IL we
are dishonest, cruel, misery and un-
social, it can be read in the face
1t is in the face that we express
all emotions. both transient and
permanent, and once you learn To
read faces it becomes a fascinating
pastime from which both pleasure and
profit may be derived.

But she had also taken the Bureau Of

To me Dorothy Dix is a novelist
who has never written a novel. Her
daily mail brings her more plots of
comedy and tragedy. more psycholog'

she guards each of them as IL trust.
They are actual and vital to her. a
motion picture company offered her
a fabulous SUM for the mere use of
her name on the silver screen, but
she refused the handsome proffer be-
cause she thought they might mis-

The philosophy of Dorothy Dix
shows that she writes from her heart
