PEKIN, Sept. 29. China's del

TOKIO, Sept. 29-. As a part of her
fundamental policy at the Washing

the scrapping of the twenty-one de
mands agreement with China, and
will not tolerate interference in the
Shantung question, it was declared
yesterday by a Japanese in an author
itative position. He asserted Japan
considered these matters as accom

and Japan directly.

May Cut Navy
The government is preparing to is
sue special instructions to 11 Jap
anese delegates concerning the limit
ation of armaments, says the N"ieh
NichI Shimbun It is indicated that
the project for the building of eight
battleships and eight battle cruisers
originated in the idea that this pro
gram was necessary for the national
defense, but that Japan las come o
recognize the project has lost its ori
ginal significance.
She is, therefore, prepared, in agree
ment with the powers, to. carry out
such curtailment, it is said, as would
make her navy strong enough t o
maintain the peace of the Far East.
Premier Scored
The choice of Prince Tokugawa as
bead of the Japanese delegation meets
with national favor and gives the
Kensei-Kai, or opposition party, no
ground for attack upon the govern
ment. Opposition newspaper.!, however,

to go to Washington himself and ac

Chairman Committee on Statistics
Chamber of Commerce of the United
Suites.
A nation-wide survey of prevailing
crop and business conditions gives us
definite fcnowledgs upon which to basa
our conclusions as to the probable
trend of things in the immediate fu
ture. The story, is much the same every
where: A partial and unequal harvest,
plentiful returns in close juxtaposition
with parched and burnt up fields; both
prices and demands- for farm, pro
ducts that are far from satisfactory to
the producers Yet these same pro
ducts are seeking a market where-
ever they can find it that the obliga
tions of the farmers may be discharg
ed. There is an abundance of food
stuff in the country despite small
yields in some grains.
Wheat Movement Good
An enormous inflow of wheat tt
market indicates that there Is noth
ing to that old stuff about farmers
holding back supplies artificially to
lore? up the price. Likewise that there
is more wheat in the country than of
ficials figures declare
One matter is most apparent in
the horoscope of the future. Tl'.s
measure of the volume of business and
of our commercial welfare hangs upon
the demand for farm products and
their consequent pricfes for the year.
All other "barometrics" are as noth
ing by comparison, and can be releg
ated of our grains and the exports ot
cotton from July 1st to date are more
than double those for the same period
of last year.
Cotton, as usual, has done the un
expected. Sustained higher prices
mean an amount of business in thy
South that can come from do other i at present.
cause. Nor does it seem likely tha
there willbef that fatal and futile hold
inj cut cotton for . impossible higher
prices that characterized the previou
season. The memory of that desperate
are too recent to bring its repetition.
Demand On Increase
One possibility is at least worth
of passing thought If there be a de
mand of any moment, bc-tl. foreign
and domestic, from now on, and at
least seems likely, the greater portion
of the carryover cotton in this conn
try will have been practically used rip
by July of next year. With general
business and readjustment on an
ascending scale, both at home an.
abroad, we shall be facing a situation
where the greater part of the world'
supply of cotton will depend upon the
growing crop in this country. What
such a contingency means to th
prosperity of the South sounds too
optimistic to put in cold print.
Already the new phase of the situa
tion finds expression not only in wide
spread more cheerful feeling in ths
cotton belt but also somewhat freer
buying. This is true likewise In the
grain regions where farmers are liber
ally marketing hogs, wheat and corn.
The comer cial world will not reap
as much benefit from this as surface
indications seem to promise. For a
very considerable proportion of the
money the farmers receive for their
products will go to settling the obli
gations carried over and the banks
will get their first and they are past
masters. In this art. Ir. some sec
tions when banks and dealers have
been satisfied there will not be much
left for tbe farmers for new pur
chases. Yet when all has been said
the situation wTll be far better than

SALEiM, Sept. 29. Street car pa

and Astoria are (granted an additional
lease on the 5-cent ride through- an
order issued by the public service
commission this morning for the sec
ond time suspending the tariffs filed
by the companies operating in these
towns.
Tariffs were filed by the Southern
Pacific company in June, effective
July 1, increasing the car fare o n
street ears operating in Salem, Eu
gene and west Linn from 5 to S cent.
At about the same time the Pacific
Power & Light company, operating
the Astoria street railway system,
.filed a new tariff, effective July 1, in
volving a similar increase in rates
Both of these tariffs were suspend
ed by the commission, pending an in
vestigation into the reasonableness cf
the. proposed new rates. These su
pensions expire October 1, necessitat
ing a second suspension, this time un
til January 1, unless, a finding i s
reached before that date, to enable the
commission to complete its investiga
tion. This second suspension, how
ever, exhausts the jurisdiction of the
commission in this line and new rates
will either become effective as intro
duced or as might be altered by the
commission or must be denied before
the expiration of this time.

Community Leadership
There is a new profession open to
women. It is "Community Leader
ship." Its work and attractions, and
requirements are much the same as
for Y. W. C. A. work. The Commun
ity Leader gives to the whole com
munity the same direction that the
Y. W. C. A. Secretary gives to the.
girls. To become a Community Lead
er one must have natural talent la
social lines, like people and wish to
serve them, and have natural tact in
dealing- with people, ability to direct
them en masse, as. well as be expert
in the things she is trying to lead
them in. She should understand direct
ing choruses and orchestras, teacn
games and folk dancing, pagentry,
dramatization, be well trained in
gymnasium work and know how to
swim. If the community work is sub
divided she may be an expert at only
part of these but in smaller com
munities she must be an all-round
leader in all recreational, (cultural,
nd social pursuits.
Many collegs are now training for
this work. A Y. W. C. A. secretary
or playground- supervisor could gffl
one information about this work.
Tbe pay varies according to the
ability of the ?eader and tho size rt
the town or city employing the Com
munity Leader. In general it corres
ponds to that of a high school teacher
in the plact served.
The Rural Life movement now
agitated in America and .the increase
ing recognition of the need cf recrea
tion and community sociability will
make the need for the Community
Leader greater, and it is one of the
new' professions which bids fair to
have a prosperous future.
has anything to do with it. Among
other things, he has the following to
sa.y:
"A laundry provided with stationary
washtubs, with washer and wringer
for power usie, is an innovation. But
why should not the woman of the farm
be provided with modern appliances
Why should she be compelled to toil
as her great-grandmother did? Tho
farmer no longer jeaps with a sickle.
or even with a cradle. He rides his
plow 'and often his harrow. He rides
his grain drill and corn planter an!
corn cultivator. He rides his grain
harvester and -hisi corn harvester. Ixa
loads hay by machinery and pitches
it into the barn by horse power. The
time is come when it Is positive cruel
ty to compel, or even allow, the wom
an to toil on without running water or
machine power in the house. The
same steam, water, and fiewe sys-,
tem that must be present tor the
dairy will take care of the laundry. The
same power used for grinding feed and
separating milk and pumping water
and pawing wood will turn the washer
and the wringer."
P.-cf. Washburn estimate that '
laundry with power ironer would cost
about two hundred dollars. He sug
gests that "a power laundry like thli
may be rented to the neighbors for,
say, fifty cents a day, they to come
over and do the work. suer. an ar
rangement will in a measure lighten
the burden now resting so heavily on
the woman of the farm.
Education in Texas
Texas is alive in regard to its rural
schools. Two new ideas they have put
into practice: the Consolidated School
and the Teacnerage. The latter is a
home built for the teachers by the
school corporation, as the parsonaga
is built by the church parish. M
Allen, Texas, has a teacherage which
will house 32 teachers and furnish
meals at cost to as many more. The
idea began here by the renting of an
old hotel building. Why couldn't many
a town with some fine old residence
too big for ordinary life, convert il
into a teacherage? The plan is to
have a hostess-manager keep house.
In McAllen, the hostess !s a trained
dietician and receives $1,800 for
eleven months. The reception rooais.
