T. Yama moto. He is well prepared by years of his experiences to im part for Americans sane and sound knowledge of all that con stitutes his country, Japan. In addition to the fact that he has been thoroughly educated, it is of interest to note that Mr. Yamamoto is the author of sev eral books upon the conditions In his own country especially as they relate to the United States. Mr. Yamamoto comes from fVio Koat pIqqq nf Vii'ti nonnlo Ho LL1V UVUl v? H1U f/vvpiva A A v. has inherited the traditional cleverness of his people; and his lectures bristle with wit and humor as well as information and good will. He will lecture for us in native costume, making it all the more interesting.

In a few months Mr. Yama moto will return to his native land, where he will take up his work as Y. M. C. A. secretary, Tokio, Japan. Remaining there three years he will again return to America and re-appear upon the lecture platform. To th? Voter* of Hertford COUNTY.

You have heard of the rob beries of trains that were so common in the West a few years ago. A raid was made on the Atlantic Coast Line at Cofieid Monday night, not by bold, masked men, but a bevy of Winton's pretty girlcv not for th^j purpose of robbery, but to ta? the passengers for the Red Cross. The raid was most sue-' cessful, for when the train got to Tunis, the end of the journey which was only wo miles, the girls had collected eleven dol lars. This* is another exam ple of the generosity of the public.
