State printing has become to be well worth bidding for, the bid last year ran above a quarter of a mil lion dollars and the indications are that this year's needs will boost the figures by several thousands. Actual figures in the cost of the State's print ing in 1920 were $230,220,23, while the paper used by the various depart ments cost the State $71,707.44.

Third Street and Five Points and on Dickinson Avenue between Five Points and the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad by December 1921. The proposition concerning a white way discussed informerly by the board of aldermen and Mr. Williams, superintendent of the . Water and Light Commission, was that if the merchants and property owners along the two said streets would install and pay for a white way would the board of aldermen agree to pay for the additional current used.

TOWARD JAPAN Is One of Unfair and Unchris tian Discrimination, Says Methodist Missionary. Chicago. Aug. 6. America's policy toward Japan is one of unfair and un-Christian discrimination, the Rev. Dr. Frank Herron Smith, a Methodist missionary in Japan for 16 years, de clared here today as he left to return to the Orient. Just so long as we persist in our attitude, just that long will there be a dark cloud of possbile trouble hang ing in the Oriental sky," he added. "The challenge of Japan is not a challenge to fight. I was sent to America by our mission and by the Japan Methodist church to tell you that Japan does not want war but a square deal." Dr. Smith, suggested that the solu tion of the question, might lie "In the decisive limitation of all immigration and in requiring all who come to the the United States to become truly na turalized, honest-to-goodness Ameri can citizens." Japanese are now for biden naturalization. The missionary intimated he en dorsed Japanese expansion in Man churia and Siberia. a movement which has disturbed American thought. "Is it not right" he asked. that Japan should find outlet for her surplus population in the vast open spaces of Manchuria and Siber ia? What has Russia with her penal colonies and her Bolsheviki ever done for Siberia any way and by what , right does she hold it?" The final remedy for all friction. Dr. Smith said, will be in Christian izing Japan. He said the way for missioary effort was especially clear there. "No mission field treats mis sionaries as well -as Japan treats us" he said, and no people love their mis sionaries as the Japanese love us. "The anti-American feeling does not seriously interfere because the leaders of the Christian movement to day are Japanese and because, the Japanese know that the American mis sionaries know them best and are thus 'their best advocates."
