Another idea hit-me in watching wall The man who was sell- ing, and who was getting more than $10,000 tn cash, was a farm hand five years ago, In five years he had cleared at least $10,000; bly considerable more, for he btless had been making money wil his herd. With his two hands, without capital, merely by wogking day and night for five years, thin young man had piled up, probably, $15,000.

VETERANS BACK TINDALL BILL IS JAPAN SENDING ANTI-JAP WORK) ALLOWED TO DIE} PICTURE BRIDES Chaplain Says” Clergy Are|Only Special Session of the) Officials Connive in Issuing Fraudulent Passports NAGASAKI, Japan, July 27.--Jap- Anese “picture brides” are swarming to thé United States, Jap. officials are winking, with both eyes, at violations of the agree- ment. “Picture brides" are young women whose photographs are sent to Cali fornia or other Pacific coast states, where thousands of Japanebe single men want wives. A Jap selects a specimen that looks good to him, sends home the price and the bride is | shipped, contrary to American immi- gration laws and American morals, Last winter, at Washington, a new convention was negotiated between the two countries, Japan bound it self not to issue passports to “picture brides” after April 29, 1920, and the United States agreed to honor all passports issued up to that time, It was stipulated that all passports be- came invalid six months after date of issue, The plain intent of the agreement Was that no “picture brides" would be allowed to enter the United States after August 29, 1920. But that doesn’t bother the offi- cialy at Tokyo. They keep right on merrily issuing passports, A minor official “changes” the date, making it prior to February 29, and the bride starts for America, Hundreds of such fraudulent passports have been issued. Figures on Economic Penetration Japanese, by their own figures, reflected the economic penetration of their countrymen in Seattle, in investigators as follows; Japanese operate 338 hotels and & written report to congressional apartment houses, There are 70 Jap barber shops here. Forty-eight dye works are Jap operated. Japs own 80 grocery stores, dap» have 75 merchandine stores. There are 38 Jap restaurants.
