The future is settled for the man
who owns a farm. He can .control his
work. He is not subject to a land
lord’s whim. He directs his own la

reaps. Part of this world belongs to
him, and on that part he can face the
world and tell it to stand back!

WASHINGTON, D. C.—The bill to
authorize the diversion from Niagara
Falls of 4400 cubic feet of additional
water per second, which is being
framed by the committee on foreign
affairs, is in a formative stage at
present.
Thor'' are indications, however, that
it w:. I he mandatory, requiring the
awar '.ii ,t of contracts for further di- j
version of water and not making the 1
awarding of such contracts discre
tionary with the secretary of war,
who will probably have the matter In
charge under the new bill, as under
previous ones.
The treaty between Canada and the
United States authorizes a diversion
by the United States of water not to
exceed 20,000 subic feet per second.
The contracts thus far awarded total
only 16,600 cubic feet per second and
there have been attempts frequently j
to get legislation which will result in I
the awarding of all the water pos
sible under the treaty.
Some basis of efficiency is said to
be likely to be made the determining
factor in the new bill for deciding
which of several companies applying
shall be granted contracts for further
power from Niagara.
The committee is thought to have i
some basis for prescribing that com
panies able to develop a certain
amount of horsepower per unit of
water diverted shall be awarded the
contracts for more water. It is stated
positively that the committee will not
put into the bill any conditions as to
the price which shall be charged the
public for power generated from water
diverted from Niagara.
JAPAN TO STRENGTHEN
EMBASSY IN AMERICA
TOKIO, Jan. 17—Because Japanese
American relations are becoming
more complicated on account of prob

China, the Foreign Office here is plan
ning to increase the number of offic

men with a knowledge of China are
to be sent to America at an early
date.
A man should know something of
his vocation before making it his life
work; no umpire, for instance, should
enter that field of endeavor in the
hope of giving general satisfaction.
