MATTERS IN CHINA.
%T%%TT|/

TTTTTTTT
The situation in China, as indi-
Gated by the very important com
munication from the Chinese gov
eminent to the minister at Wash
ington, and handed by him on
Tuesday to Secretary Lay, is much
more than hopeful rumors have
seemed to suggest. In the first
place, it shows that the Chinese
government is not at war with the
powers, and that the disturbances
are Dire solely to fanatical mob.
which assumed proportions beyond
the control of the proper author
tiles. And, again, it sustains very
forcibly the propriety Of judgment
of our naval representative who
counseled against the assault
upon the Taku forts.
1t was entirely proper for the
powers, as they are designated, to
take any and all steps necessary to
protect their respective represen-
tatives and citizens, but we fear it
will yet develop that there has been
more concert against China than
should have been. Itseems to be
an uprising which involves as
much the integrity of the Chinese
government as the lives and in
terests of foreigners, and as such
there should be no difficulty in
having thorough cooperation be-
tween all powers, including the
government, in putting down the
mob for the general good of all
concerned.
1t may be yet that the legations,
save the German minister. are safe,
and that foreigners have not suffer
ed the slaughter heretofore feared.
1t is certainly to he hoped this is
true. However, conditions will
not justify any laxity on the part
of any government in promptly
a force necessary to re-
lieve the living, restore order, and
secure protection for the future

MAHAsKA.s POOR FARM.
[Oskaloosa Herald

=
John Cownie, member of the state
board of control, was In town Monday.
and in company with Supervisor Ham
sbleton, Auditor Cruzen and Recorder
Harfold went out and Inspected the.
Mahaska county poor farm. The chief.
object of his mission was to determine
whether the incurable fnsane1and ottlers
usually kept at the regular state insti-5
buttons. we're receiving proper care at
the county poor farm. White Mr.. Cow
ME did not give an official report he in.
hmated that the unfortunates were be-.
ing satisfactorily cared for and that.
they would be permitted foreman. He
eaid that while they did not receive the
care from nurses and attendants that
they would at the asylum they were
granted more freedom and had more
pleasant surroundings. which made up
for any lack of attention. Then, too,
the state Institutions are crowded With
patients just. now, go that admissions
are made only in necessary cases. The
board of control has, been vested by the
legislature with absolute power and
they can order patients to the state in
stitutions whenever they see fiji to do so
There are at present about thirty In
mates at the poor farm, fifteen of whom
come under the Jurisdiction of the board
OF control. These fifteen are being cared
for at not to exceed S. per month, while
at the asylum the county would have
to pay $l2 per month. This
effects quite a saving to the county.
Mahaska county already has nearly
fifty patients at Mt. Pleasant.
During the winter there were forty
nine patients in the poor farm. and the
institution lacked less than s. 600 of be-
Ing self sustaining last year Many Of
the inmates do good work, and as rule
all are contented.

THREsHING GRAIN.

Farmers who were in the city today
state that last week and the week be-
fore considerable grain waa threshold
notwithstanding the extreme hot
weather. For the past three weeks all
the threshers in the county have been
Working from early morning till dusk
IN order to get along as far as they
could with the work in hand, and all
tho the summer thus far has been an
excellent one SO far as protracted dry
! weather was concerned, 1t will be late
In the fall before most OF the thresher,
Will finish the season. The reason Is,
that the spring asEsolate and the crop
did not mature until long after the time
that il usually does.
1t is said there is not the grain yield.
in oats and b 6ley particularly, that
was expected, and the wheat crop Is not
turning out very Well either. There
has been more grain threshed from the
shocks this season than heretofore, and!
II appears this has been the case in ali
parts of the country. 1t is believed that
the custom of stacking grain will be
done away with hereafter to ii large ex-
tent, for with so many men engaged in
the threshng business farmers are not
put to the Inconvenience Of waiting on
s certafnt hresher for weeks before they
can have their grain threslied.
The threshing business is not as re-
munerntive as ii was some years ago
because there are too many persons en-.
gagged in it. In Scott county alone there
are more than 90 steam thresfing OUT
f1ts and all of these have been putting.
In all the time they could since the sea
son opened There was a time several
Years ago when the advance man OF d
threshing outfit could go ahead of his
machine and bin jobs three ahead. and
come times d month or six weeks but
that time has gone by. II there is any
thresher near al hand when farmeris
ready to. have his job done II goes to
that thresher If he has the reputation
OF getting thru In a hurry and il sup
posed to understand his business thor
oughly.
There is not a thresl,ing outfit in the
country and has not been for years
where the threshing is8dane by horse
power The steamer supplanted the old
horse power machine a number of years
ago. and in the course of few years
II In probable that most OF the farmers
viii be doing their own threshing, for
prices OF threshing outfits have so lows
cred. and they are continuing to lower,
!. that 1t will be a common thing for.
farmers to club together and buy one
forsthemselves and thresh their own and
their neighbors' grain.

Venice without Wafer.

Venice without water would hardly
be Venice at all. but we are assured
there is a possibility that the pictur-
esque Venice OF today may become a
city OF the past. and eventually Ven
ice may be waterless. According to
Prof. Marinelli. the regular increase in
the delta OF the River Pc is such that
in process of time the northern Adri-
attic will be dry and Venice will no
more be upon the sea. A comparison
of the Austrian map OF 1928 with the
record OF the surveys OF 1898 shows
that the mean annual increase of the
delta during these seventy years has
been three-tenths of a square mile. An
encroachment upon the sea of three
tenths of q mile in a year means a
large increase in a century. 1t appears
that the total increase in six centuries
has been about 1875 square miles. The
increase is continuing and the Gulf of
Venice is doomed to disappear. No i'm
mediate alarm need be felt, and it will
not be necessary to hurry off to Ven
ice to take a farewell look at the city
in its present picturesqueness. Prof.
Marinelli calculates that between 100
and 12O centuries will elapse before the
entire northern Adriatic will have be-
come dry land.
