Pacific Coast Is Excited Over Japanese
WASHINGTON. The Pacific const
again i.s becoming highly wrought
up over the silent, steady penetration
of that section of the country by the
Jupnneso. and Intends to press reme
dial measures at the next session of
congress. The house committee on
irauilgrutlon has been Investigating the
situation, holding hearings In Cullfor
nla and visiting tho Japanese settle
ments, in preparation for action on
vurlous pending hills ranging all tho
-way from outright exclusion of Japa
nese to amendment of the Constitu
tion, withholding American citizenship
from American born Japanese.
Senator Phclnn of California sees
Japan reaching out for domination of
tho Pacific, and professes great fear
that unless .la pan is halted the Uni
ted States will be worsted by the ori
ental power, not only In trade, but
In war.
Not Many Conscientious Objectors Left
pOHTV-ONH conscientious objectors
r are still being Jield in military
prisons nod disciplinary barracks for
iheir refusal to recognize and obey
unitary authority, according to a bul
letin Issued by the American Civil
Uhcrties union.
Most of the sentences these men
aire serving will expire this year. Two
sentences will expire in 1025 and one
In 102:1. A few will expire in 1921
and 1022.
These objectors are the remnant
of a lotnl of some (5.000 out of :J,r00,
000 men called to the colors who re
fused to perforin military service. The
others accepted noncombatant service
or went on farms, or with reconstruc

Of those whose scruples prevented
.them from rendering any service or
obedience whatever, only forty-one re
main, and these could obtain their

If they would forego their scruples
to the point of obevlng tho rules and

I'LL TAKE
CARE OF
NYRODY standing at the right spot
at the right moment In tho big
Union station In Washington one
night might have seen Representative
Hen Johnson of Kentucky performing
jin odd chore.
It wouldn't havo looked so funny If
Johnson were not so tnll and of such
dignified appearance. He stood by the
big gate where most of tho passengers
wore coming from a train and every
few moments remarked. In n tone of
authority, to nobody In particular:
"Right tills way, Mandy: I'll tnke

Hardwood Scarce, Furniture Takes Jump
SOARCITY of high-grade hardwood
lumber and Its increased cost have
largely contributed to the Increased
cost of furniture, says the forest serv
ice of the United States department
of agriculture In a report to the senate
on timber depletion, prices, exports,
jind ownership.
Higher lumber prices are multiplied
in retail furniture prices. An increnso
in ruw marerlal cost to the manufac
turer of $.ri adds 50 to $10 to the retail
cluirge. and the purchaser actually
pays for the lumber In a piece of
furniture three or four times prewar,
prices.
Other Industries, such as those mak
ing veneer, handles, vehicles, and agri
cultural Implements, which require
high-grade hardwoods have likewise
been seriously affected.
Tho history of all these Industries
has been much the same, tho report
states. They began In the northeast
where for many years local supplies
of timber were ample for their needs.
The waning of these supplies forced
the Industries westward, where they
found magnificent virgin hardwood
Ktande, and expnndod rapidly. In the
last ilfteen or twenty years they havu

of history," says Senator Phelan, "wo

a foothold to be gained by these peo

feat us commercially In tho carrying
trade, as they are fast doing, but mili
tarily In the next world war. Our
civilization Is at stake."
"A Japanese colony under tho Amer
ican fiag is not compatible with tho
growth of an American state," con
tinues Senator Phelan. "The soil of
California Is being absorbed by the
Japanese and legislation, state and
federal. Is now being evoked to stem
the yellow tide. It In n nice as well
as an economic problem.
"California refuses submissively to
permit Its native population to be
driven off the soil. If these people
want California let them tnke It, not
Btcalthily, by this process of economic
penetration, but let them light for It.
California, unfortunately, Is Just as
much their tributary territory today
under our generous laws as though
they had conquered It by the power
of arms.

not long since released all men Im
prisoned for this reason.
"These men," says the union's bulle
tin, referring to conscientious objec
tors still In military prisons In this
country, "are being released slowly as
their sentences expire, or by 'special
order' for reasons not explained by
the war department, which has no
consistent policy of dealing with con
scientlous objectors and never hnd
any. All that can be mid of the pros
ent policy Is that the department will
not release before expiration of full
sentence men who refuse to work un
der military authority In prison.
"There Is no prospect for 'general
amnesty.' Letters on specific cases
addressed to the secretary of war may
help In securing 'special orders' of
release."
Not Getting Mandy
I should be standing there snylng over
and over again:
"Right this way, Mandy; I'll take
cans of you."
What sense wns there to a man do
ing such a thing as that? After ho
had said It ninny times Johnson went
away, but In a couple of hours he was
back again, repenting the snme line,
with the snme calm dignity as before.
People were puzzled. Yet it was
all simple enough.
The Johnsons had sent to Kentucky
for a cook, name of Mandy. They
knew her name, but that was all ;
they didn't even know for sure whnt
train would bring her. But, nccordlng
to reports, she wns a wonderful cook
who could play culinary selections on
n gas stove Just by ear, producing
southern dishes of rare quality and
fragrance. She was too good a cook
to lose, and she wns not accustomed
to finding street addresses in strange
cities.
And thnt was the reason why the
dignified congressman went to all tho
trains and cried out, every time he
saw an alile-hodled colored woman:
"Right this way, Mandy; I'll take
care of you."

the Increase over last year equals more
than six pounds per person.
Dig Beet Acreage
Tho sugar-beet crop this year covers
nlmost a million acres as against the
five-year average of about two-thirds
of a million ; and the growing condi
tion on July 1 was above the ten-year
average. There Is more than half a
million acres of sugar cane this year,
about half of which Is intended for
nugar and the other half for sirup,
after deducting considerable amounts
for planting the next crop. There Is
a substantial Increase In ncreage over
last year, especially In Louisiana,
where nearly all the cane sugar of the
United States Is made. The growing
condition of the cane In Louisiana Is
much better than ilast year, but con
siderably under the average for the
past nine years.
Protection for Crop.
The department of agriculture,
which has carried on a number of
projects looking toward making this
country self-sustaining from a sugar
standpoint. Is co-operating with other
ngencles In protecting the crops
from Insects nnd disease anil oth
erwise promoting the production
nnd utilization of n bumper sugar
crop. It should bo borne In mind,
however, thnt the forecast for 1020 Is
bawd upon conditions on July 1. nnd
the actual out-turn would be above or
below this forecast according ns con

PROPER TRAINING FOR STOCK
Finest Colt In World Is of Little Use
to Fanner Unless It Has Been
Broken.
Nohndy really cares what makes the
wild cat wild because the wild cat Is
no good even when It Is tame. Rut It
makes all the difference In the world
whether useful live stock I.s trained or
wild. The finest colt In the world,
product of the best draft stock. Is of
little use to a farmer unless It has
been broken to harness, Is brldle-wlse
nnd gentle.
A cow may bo a champion milk pro
ducer, but she Is of comparatively lit

setter may carry the blue blood of
Count Gladstone and have a nose for
birds that Is unequalled, but nobody
wants to hunt behind him unless he
has felt the Jerk of the trainer's choke
line and learned not only to find birds,
hut to give his owner an opportunity
to bag them.
MOLD IN SILO PREVENTABLE
Use of Plenty of Water at Filling
Time Will Overcome Difficulty
Pack Thoroughly.
The use of plenty of witter at silo
filling time Is one of the surest ways
of avoiding difficulty from molds If
the corn has been frosted or has be
come overripe. If oile has the facili
ties for running a steady stream of
water Into the blower and at tho
Fame time Is careful to see that the
tramping Is thoroughly done the loss
from molds can be made nlinot negll

slblo to entirely prevent the growth
of molds If the corn Is cut at the
proper time and thoroughly llstrlb

Is used up In the fermentation prne

Sudan Grass for Pasture.
Sudan grass furnishes good
pasture for horses, cattle, sheep
or hogs. It Is best not to pas

about a foot high. Ry this time
It will have become firmly rooted
nnd under nverago conditions

also may be cut nnd fed green
with good results.
BEST AND EARLIEST
EARS FOR SEED CORN
Quite Practicable to Allow It to

Exnmlne Grain Carefully, Removing
Any Worms Found and Then Fold
Back In Place and Tie With
Elastic Band or String.
The best wny to secure home-grown
sweet corn seed, according to United

best nnd earliest ears by stripping
down the husks to examine the grain
and to remove nny worms that may be
found, anil then carefully fold them
back and hold them In place by an
elastic band or n string. Allow these
ears to ripen thoroughly on the stalk.

FOOD PRODUCTS FROM FOWLS
On Average Farm Poultry Furnish
About 10 Per Cent of Meat
for Family Use.
A large proportion of tho poultry
product.- of this country are produced
en general farms. Nearly every farm
lias Its poultry tlock. The nverage
American farmer reserves about three
rior.cn eggs a week for family use and
about f0 fowls are consumed by the
family during the year. These food
products can bo secured absolutely
fresh, which considerably enhances
the value of this contribution from tho
fnrm, says the United State depart
ment of agriculture. Of the meat fur
nished by the farm to the operator and
his family, poultry constitutes about
10 per cent.
A small llock of poultry can be kept
on the farm nt little cost. The fowls
find scattered grain about tho farm
stead and on the adjoining grain fields
after harvest. Garden refuse and
kitchen waste are usually available
for them. They also feed on Insects
nnd worm. In ninny cases the farm
er's wife and children find pleasure In
caring for the llock.
