MInosaku Toshi Yamamoto
(Japanese Lecturer)
Subject: "The American-Jap
anese Relations." Japan: its
diplomacy, its education, its re
ligion, its social life.
Mr. Yamamoto is a young
Japanese Christian, a member of
an orthodox Protestant Church,
who has been a student in our
American colleges for the past
ten years. ,
We do not know anyone upon
the lecture platform more com
petent to speak upon the cordial
relations which should exist be
tween the United States and
Japan than Mr. M. 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

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.
We feel that we are v^ry for
tunate in obtaining the services
of this young man, as he has
been on the lecture platform for
the past four years, lecturing in
various cities of the United
States.
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.

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. When we think of the
wonderful sacrifices that our
boys are makin, when the folks
back home are so willing to
give their time and money and,
added to these things th? pray
ers of thousand of mothers, it?
seems that we must win the

the County. Mr. Vann reports
that those who have heard the
talks made by Mm exhibited a
marked degree of interest in
both the War Savings Stamps
and the Thrift Stamps.
The County Publicity Chair
man, whose name appears at
the bottom of this article, is
anxious to secure he names of
all persons in he County who
are in any way aiding in this
campaign. The names of eac j
person who has purchased as
many as one thousand dollars

ford County must "Come acr- I

but to attain results we must 1
begin now, if we would do our|l
