JAPS SOON WILL CONTROL HAWAII Honolulu, T. H., ~n. 29.?A fed eral survey commission, headed by Dr. Frank F. Bunker, of Washing ton, which recently surveyed educa- j. tion in Hawaii, in a preliminary re port declared that the "momentum" of the Japanese i*ace in Hawaii puts.' all other racial groups out of the i running in respect to numbers and j that the momentum if continued: will carry the Japanese race into an j increasingly dominant, uumcuvai i position, giving their Hawaiian born progeny in 1930 about 28 per cent| of the electorate of the territory. The report, which is freely inter spersed with tables of figures ob-| tained from federal and territorial * official sources and from the office of the Japanese consulate-general in Honolulu, says in part: "With an actual population now in the islands of 114,137 (1919) as re ported by the Japanese consulate general, against 25,000 Portuguese, the next largest group, it is clear that the Japanese race has acquired a momentum which puts all the other groups out of the running with respect to numbers. "That this momentum inevitably will carry the Japanese race into an increasingly dominant numerical position, if continued, is clearly shown by tables compiled from in formation obtained from the office of the Japanese consul-general and from the records of the territorial board of health." Dealing iwth the parallel presentl ed by the methods of adjustment to island influences represented by the Portuguese and the Japanese races, the report says: "While both groups originally were brought into the islands to satisfy the need for cheap labor on the plantations, | there in with both a pronounced tendency to seek better economic position by breaking away from the plantations and engaging in other < activities giving promise of a free and more ample life. "The Japanese are ambitious to Jjt become tenants, to own land, to set up business, to enter a profession, to rise above the category of un skilled labor and as they individual ly achieve their ambition, they are like the Portuguese, participating more and more in the affairs of the islands, socially, educationally, poli- ' tically. Furthermore, they are all at} work. There are few triflers and | idlers among them. There are now, I approximately 38,000 male and 27, 000 female adult Japanese in the is lands. A table, based upon informa- i tion obtained from the Japanese 1 consulate-general shows that 50,149 " of them are employed in gainful oc- ( cupations. { "It should be said in fairness that there are few Japanese chil- \ dren in the juvenile courts and in j institutions for delinquents; and there are DroDortionately very few ; 'Japanese among the convict labor < gangs and in the jails. Few, if any are supported by puiblic charity, nor , are any begging in the streets. i Their per capita savings bank de- , posits rank third among those of the island races, being exceeded by i the Americans and Portuguese only. "All of which activity laudable in , itself, can be explained adequately on the basis of racial qualities, in- j herent in the Japanese, of patience, j persistence, thrift, initiative, endur ance, ambition, group solidarity, coupled with acumen and astuteness which give them the ability to get on where other races have failed. Indeed, so wfell have the Japanese adjusted themselves to island condi tions, and so rapidly are they in creasing in the numbers of Hawaii an-iborn children, that this group soon will have a majority of voters of the islands." The commisisoner's report then deduces from a table of births of Japanese children about 1898 toi 1919 that 12,216 Hawaiin-born I Japanese will have become old! enough to vote by 1930; that 22,921 j more will have' been added to the! list of eligible voters by 1940, mak- ] ing a total during a 22-year period of 35,137. Deducting 13 per cent to cover possible losses by removal and death, the report estimates that by1 1940 there will.be an aggregate of Japanese voters in the territory of 30,857, including 287 now register ed. Pointing to the fact that Japa nese children in the public schools of Hawaii in 1910 were 27.72 per cent of the total enrollment and hat in 1919 this school group stood at 40.55 per cent of the whole, the report say? this "indicates that the HALF YOUR LIVING WITHOUT MONEY COS! Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut in Half By Food And Grain Making And Saving AtJanta, Georgia?(Special.)?"High prices for cotton, such as we had a year ago cannot reasonably be expeot ed (or a long time to come. European countries that normally use half our crop are so thoroughly disorganized and paralyzed in a business way that they will not be able to take the usual quantities and pay high prices for many years to come," said H. G. Hastings, - President of the great Southeastern Fair. "This situation which we cannot | control, calls for lower costs of male | ing cotton as well as reduction in cot I T'U rt nnt^irant flofoal I iuu atioago, xuc 4uiuauov, I and most effective way to reduce cot ton making cost is to produce on one't own acres every pound of food, grain and forage needed for family, tenant* and laborers and live stock. "The situation requires chickens, hogs, milk cows and acres of corn, oats, wheat, forage and miacellane ous crops from which to feed them Last, but not least, in importance, It the home vegetable garden which is the quickest and cheapest source of food in the world. "Most folks here in the South don't take the home garden seriously and thereby make a great mistake. There i are too many of the 'lick and a prom | iso' sort of gardens and mighty few | of the real sure enough kind. "We have been told repeatedly by those who plan and prepare for a real , arden, plant it, tend it and keep it teplanted through the season, that it furnishes half the family living at nc money cost except the small amount spent for the seeds needed. ? "The garden is, or rather should be. the earliest planted. It brings food the quickest. It starts cutting store bills for food the first week anything is ready to use. A little later, half or more needed for the table comes out of the garden. "If rightly tended and replanted it supplies food all summer tfnd tall, the surplus above dally needs goes into rans nr in rlHpri fnr winter use. Yes. the right kind of garden iB a life saver, and we all need a life-saver of this kind in 1921." \ > i SHILOAH >i V Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mundy, of Greenwood, came up to see the for mer's sister Sunday, Mrs. E.

The concrete deduction then follows: "Whether or not the Japanese de sire to achieve political control, without doubt, within a few years, they will be in a position to do so if they choose." Interesting comparisons of the de fs'j i' . .vn'arriage ulge in by the different races In the islands next are taken up, which brings the commission to the conclusion that, < "In general, Japanese marry only Japanese. It is clear that all races, except the Koreans an 1 Japanese, are fusing rapidly through inter marriage, but that the Japanese ?L\JUJ iz> niaiiiwaiiiiii^ ko laviai uio- j tinctiveness." Honolulu, T.

THOMSON, Master A. C.. S. C. ! I GERMANY BATTLING TO REGAIN SILESIA London, Jan. 29.?Germany and Poland are battling bitterly to win the plebescite in Upper Silesia March 15. By this plebiscite the people will determine whether they will come under German or Polish rule. Both countries want this territory because of its great coal resources. Germany, which has had to sur render the Saar Basin coal regions to France, for 15 years, says it will mean total ruin if it loses the Sile sian coal fields. roiand claims she must have them to fuel her industries. Both sides charge unair campaign methods, intimidation and violence. Though most of the people speak Polish, the territory has been under German rule for 700 years. Political leaders in Germany talk of violence if the allies award the territory to Poland, Vice versa with Polish leaders. The Polish legation announces that the Polish general staff is reor ganizing a regular army according to military standards. But it denies: That the army is being mobilized in full strength: That the Poles are concentrating troops on the Esthonian, Latvian and Rumanian frontiers; That there are prospects of re newal of warfare between Poland and Bolshevik Russia. The legation blames the Germans for the baseless mobilization report, which is to depress Polish currency and credit, to otherwise weake^i the country, and to influence the plebis cite. It reports that five classes of the army have been demobilize and that it now numbers only 300,000 men. The legation says the Polish high command expects a peace treaty to be signed with the Bolsheviki in February. In China all the land belongs to the state, and a trifling sum per acre, scarcely altered through long centuries, is paid as rent. blliUfcK TO TH1 FOR every crop you plan to I especially designed to in< soil.
