To the Victor Belongs the Jap Question
TERMINATION of the treaty of 1011
with Japan, legalizing Japanese
Immigration into tho United States
and the leasing of land by Japanese,
is a question that Is destined to be
pressed upon the next administration
as n result of the race Issue develop
ing serious proportions on the Pacific
coast.
So long as this treaty remains in
effect the exclusion of Japanese will
be illegnl nnd the United States will
bo compelled to continuo to rely for
protection from the "yellow peril" on
the "gentlemen's agreement" which
the Callfornlaus charge Is being evad
ed by the Japanese.
Tho treaty Is to remain In effect
until 1023 unless terminated before
thnt time on six months' notice by
either party.
Article 1 of the treaty provides that
Berries to Be Kept
FRESH berries and cherries in mid
winter are possible, the experts of
the department of agriculture an
nounce after extensive experiments.
Successful methods of storing fruits
nnd berries In frozen condition have
been demonstrated and, the govern
ment experts sny, these should be
more fully utilized In relieving the
market of surplus receipts of highly
pcrlshnhle fruits while In sound edible
condition.
They declare that preservation by
freezing Is cheaper than canning, espe
cially when the containers are costly,
as at present, and an Important Indus
try of sternly development Is looked
for In this line.
Fruit held at proper temperatures,
the experts say, has a more natural
tlavor than when enniwd or dried, and
Is fully as satisfactory as fresh fruit,
Is superior to canned and dried fruit
In making Ice creams and sherbets, and
for cooking In the form of pies, pre
serves, Jellies and other desserts and
confections.

er It Is possible to do nwny with the
necessity for conl. If the potential
water power of the Winnipeg
liver were developed it would be suffi
cient to turn every factory wheel In
Canada nnd hent every home and of
fice In Winnipeg, even If the tempera
ture remained nt 40 degrees below
zero nil the yenr round.
"It would be vnstly cheaper for
Winnipeg to obtain Its electric heat
nnd power from the river SO miles
than to haul coal 1,400 miles from
Pennsylvania. With such nn Immense
supply of cheap power to draw upon
Winnipeg must Inevitably develop In
to one of tho great manufacturing
centers of Cnnnda."
It Is from the Winnipeg river that
the municipally owned hydro-electric
system derives Its power' which Is
sold to Industrial plants.
If Professor Dorsey's method of
transmission will reduce costs one-hnlf
It follows naturally that under the
new water power law there will be a
tremendous activity In the establish
ment of hydro-electric plants, espe
cially In the West.

bility of tho St. Lawrence canaliza

"I desire emphatically to deny,"
said President Howard, in nnnouncing
the committee, "thut any policy or
plnn Involving price fixing has been
decided upon by the American Farm
Bureau federation, or any committee
appointed by It. We desire merely
to evolve a marketing system which
will eliminate useless handling costs,
unnnecessnry selling expenses, ruinous
price fluctuation due to mnrket Jug

rles, blackberries, loganberries, blue
berries, gooseberries, currants nnd

successfully after being frozen.
Berries can be frozen In tho crates

The fruits become waterlogged when

and placed one of his prescriptions,,
which he called "Golden Medical'

the United States so that the pub
