Among the multiple of aspects of the
outburst of feeling ngu'net the United
States in Japan, says the Living Age.
is the revolt of native Christian clergy
against ecclesiastical supervision or
assistance from this country. A move-
ment has been started in Tokyo to de-
clare the Japanese churches independ-
ent of their mother churches in Amer-
ica. Rev. Masahisa Uemura. presl-
‘I dent of the Tokyo Theological semi-
nary. declared at h recent meeting to
consider the subject: “Christianity
was originally an Oriental religion, and
the Japanese can understand It better
than the Americans. It is a disgrace
for Japanese engaged In Christian mis-
sktaary work In their own country to
receive material eld from the United
States."

INCOME TAX PUBIJCITY
One of the surprising results of
publishing income tax payments has
been an increased demand for tax-
exempt bonds. The market for such
securities has grown stronger and
brokers find it possible to demand
higher prices for tax-exe m p t a.
Thousands of wealthy investors are
reducing the amount of their income
tax by purchasing more and more
tax-exempt bonds.

Good Hog Stock Scarce
Figuratively speaking Edgar Mc-
Daniel acts as a sort of barometer
by which you may read the fluctua-
tions of hog breeding and selling
enterprise in these diggings. Since
his return from the annual meeting
of the Texas Swine Raisers Associa-
tion at Arlington, 'Mack has been
scouring the surrounding counties
in quest of high grade pigs to
meet his orders. He cant find them
and furthermore he remarks a pain-
ful scarcity of brood sows through-
out the country, for which reason
he predicts a future great shrinkage
in hogs and a scarcity almost un-
precedented. Mac has an order for
135 pigs from a member of the
family of former President Obregon
of Mexico who got acquainted with
his stock at the Dallas Fair, but he
cannot supply it

Audubon Farmer Fertilizes
J. W. Scivrdly, an energetic veteran
fanner of the Audubon country came
to Decatur and bought a ton of 12-
4-4 fertilizer to put under cotton
and corn Wednesday of last week.
He is indeed playing the role of
modern farmer and is letting few
ideas get by him. His farm is already
terraced, he has found a new variety
of corn adaptable and proving suc-
cessful to 'his situation, and last
year he grew a new kind of legum-
inous plant, _ called the Mung bean,
that is exciting no end of attention
from farmers in quest of a plant
that will both restore worn out land

is of the type of go-getter farmer
that pulls ahead and) does good
work for himself and his country.
And it may be guessed at that he
is well above sixty years of age.
that this vust hmird of hidden money
Is a myth. Of the 94 In the principal
cities of tiie country who replied to
the question, only nine believe that
there is any considerable amount of
money hoarded in their localities. In
bine other cities bankers make definite
estimates of the smounts that might
be hoarded—from $100 to $2,000,000.
Seventy thought that the amounts
hoarded were Insignificant and four
were of the opinion that there was
no hoarding at all.

Corn And Feterita
Cbunty Commission or Henry
Walker, of precincts one and six,
made his million dollar talk on corn
growing to the folks assembled at
Joe Bailey school house last Monday
night. It is eWied a million dollar
talk advisedly, for it was estimated
at that value by a high official of
the A. & M. College who once heard
it. The talk was well received. The
story of corn raising begjan with
the urgence to break the ground as
early in the fall as possible and
touched on every other essential of
cultivation, selection , of seed etc
necessary to making a successful
crop. Incidentally the meeting suo-
seribed to a joint fund that is to be
invested in Feterita seed that is
grown on the expermental farm at
Lubbock and is known as Spur for
the reason that it was origin«.by
propagated on the experimental farm
near that place it is sar t lie a
rvperior producing variety of grain
sorgum and has done well in Wise
County.
Boyd Farmers Buy Fertilizer
The County Farm Agent and the
Secretary of the local Chamber of
Commerce attended a meeting of
farmers who have interested them-
selves in commercial fertilizer at
Boyd last Friday night. The Boyd
Fanners are highly enthused' over
the idea of using the artificial plant
food and last year were successful
in obtaining profitable returns, in
some instances as high
cent. Two car loads ha1
scribed for and will be shipped
to Boyd farmers in time for
cotton and melon crops.

THE ROBERTSON LAW AGAIN.
Speaking again of the Roberson
law: The author of the bill re-
nealing the investment section be-
lieves he can put it thru the Senate
if he can get ft up.
In 1906 when the law went into
effect life insurance comps n i e s,
drawing millions a year from Texas
nremium payers^ had invested just
$1,000,000 in Texas securities.
In 1924 investments of life insur-
ance companies in Texas securities
had reached a total of $160,000,000.
Now 77 foreign and 16 State com-
nnnies are writing business in Tex-
as. The 77 include five of the 21
that withdrew in diegust when the
Robertson law was passed. In
other words there are 16 of the so-
called “big companies" that aren’t
getting any business out of Texas
and aren’t investing any premium
money in Texas securities. They
want Texas business, but they don’t
Want to invest in Texas securities.
\ Hence, as they apparently think,
She Robertson law should be re-
pealed. Texas people showed sev-
eral years qgo what they thought
about it in a plebiscite on the ques-
tton. The vote was overwhelmingly
against repeal.
^Conditions haven’t changed enough
now to make the need for repeal of
the law any more useful or 1 helpful
than it was then.—Denton Record
Chronicle.
The men who sponsored the en-
a> tment of the Robertson law were
lo ig-headed solid business men.
T1 ey were gifted with far-sighted-
ns i. The result of their action has
be in the keeping of millions of
do lars of Texas money in Texas for
th< developement of State interests.
If \ foreign companies do not with
wofk it was intended to do and
e is no necessity for its repeal,
'oreign companies do not wish
