America is a free country, where any

perfect freedom. It is not surpris

age of time. It is tru§ that there, i
are some Americans who are not |
satisfied with Japan’s doing in China I
and Korea, while there are other
Americans who perfectly .mderstand
Japan’s position.
Japan is not without faults. Dur-i
ing the progress of the war Japan <
concluded with China what is known
as a military agreement, by 'which |
it was undertaken that Jjyiane 3 of-1'
ficers should be engaged as instruc-j
tors in the Chinese army, and the |
common use of army by the Japanese j
and Chinese was stipulated in the
agreement. This not
gave rise to the suspicion among the
Occidentals that Japan is attempti
ing the Japonisation of China in the]
same way as Germany contrived the I
Germanization of Turkey. The twen- j
ty-one demands presented by Japan]
to China are also potent cause of;
misunderstanding of Japan among- ]
Europeans and Americans. In the j
Siberian intervention, America pro-!
posed that similar numbers of troops'
should be despatched to Siberia, but
whereas America sent only 7,0001
men, Japan despatched as many as!
70,000. This aroused the suspicions
of America as to the real intentions
of Japan. Japan’s failure in Siberia
is clear from what has followed since
then.
“But really educated, thoughtful
Americans do not believe in such a
thing as war between Japan and
i America.”

CANADIAN RYE
IN SIREN ROLE
Athens Leading Citizens
Fall For Smooth
Swindle
ATHENS, July 16.—The Atlanta
bunco sensation pales into insignifi
cance in comparison with the “bun
co” game pulled off in the ‘'Classic
City” last week.
Hale, hearty, well met, a real dip
lomat of the old school, representing
himself as an agent of Canadian de
velopment concern and seeking a de
sirable location for a colony of Ca
nadian dairymen near the education
al center of the state, “privately and
confidentially” revealed to a number
of “leading” citizens that he brought
along with him a few cases of “Ca
nadian rye” for his own personal use
but on account of the stringent pro
hibition I4IWS in this country he
thought best to get rid of it as quick
ly as possible.
It was a cruel game, according to
the stories related by his victims. “I
have three cases at hotel, and
I am desirous of getting rid of it as
quickly as possible. I’ll let you have
a case for $75.00 if you will call for
it between nine and ten tonight.”
Between “nine and ten” that night
exactly fifteen thirsty citizens called
at the hotel to see Mr. -. “No
such person registered here,” the
clerk informed the thirsty appli
cants.
All this happened last Thursday.
Today several of the victims are
banging arou“d the lobby of th->
hotel hoping that they may yet get
a glimpse of the alleged thirst
quencher.
All told, he took $1125 in Athens
and then proceeded to Elberton
whore, it is stated he caught a doz-
I en or more suckers with the same
I trick.
From Elberton comes the story “he
was a handsome gentleman, well
dressed nd a smooth and convincing
talker, but when we called between
9 and 10 the dispenser of good pure
Canadian rye was nowhere to be
found.”

WHAT MR. MOON SAW
Si
Fleet didn’t know it but he was talking aloud.
Here’s what Fleet was thinking,
“its such fine weather that Biddy
Bantam will probably start to roost
in the plum tree. She does it every
year, and every year I plan to have
her for my midnight lunch, but some
thing always happeps. She’s hidden
her: nest somewhere, too, I’m sure,
but I*can’t find it, smart as I am. I’ll
take a walk down to the plum tree
tonight and have a look around. In
the meantime I’ll stay near Mike
Mole’s house and see what I can see.”
Fleet didn’t know it, but he was
talking out loud, and Sprinkle-Blow
heard him and so did Nancy and
Nick, for the three of them were
also looking around to “see what
thsy could see” as*well as to “hear
what they could hear.”
The fairyman nodded wisely to the
children and being rather wise them
selves, they nodded back understand
ingly. But nobody said a word and
Fleet never knew they were there.
By and by he wandered away.
That night the moon came up,
peering curiously over the hilltop.
He wanted to see what was going on
in the world and he always sees
plenty of things to satisfy him. lie
stares and stares and start s perfect
ly unashamed. Mr. Moon is the one
person without manners whom we all
love.
One thing Mr. Moon saw was Bid
dy Bantam perched on the lower limb
of the plum tree, another thing he
saw was Fleet Fox slipping out of
his hole, still another thing he saw'
was little weenty Cutie Cottontail
saying goodbye to his mamma and
skedaddling for the sass-patch garden
beside the orchard where the plum
tree was, and still another thing he
saw was Chris Crow following Cutie
lie a shodav .
There was going to be a mix-up.

Grows Novel Melons ,/•;??
And Four-Inch Peanuts
■ - i ■ *
G. H. Walker has grown air un-
1 usual variety of watermelon on his
home lot on Forrest street in Ameri
cus, which is not only beautiful' to
look at but has a most excellent fla
vor - \7.fF
Saturday Mr. Walker brought one
of these melons to the office of thft
Times-Recorder, where it remained. ..
for two days and was the admiration
of visitors.
The seeds were brought from En- 1 -.
i nis, Texas, and produced a melon oft
■ good size and a rich green colon
Graduated yellow spots covering the
surface of the melon gave i.t the, „
name of the “moon and star melon”,
the spots forming a fine reproduc
tion of the sun, moon and stars on
the firmament of green. Some of the
spots are as large as a silver dollar, ;
with others about half as large. StHI
others are smaller. . suy 1
The meat of the melon is a rich,,
deep cream, almost the color of the
spots on the outside surface, and
the flavor is very sweet.
Mr. Walker has only a small space-..*
! devoted to the culture of the melon
this year, but may give more room.'
to the growth another season. lie
likes to experiment with unusual va-
I rieties, and now has in process of
' maturity some peanuts measuring .
1 three and four inches in length, with
I four kernels to the shell. W'hen these ■
mature he will have some of the pea- ■
nuts on display in a prominent place
I in the city in order that others may
I see the product. The seeds of this
variety of peanut were also sent him
I from Texas. ■
