An Indignant Protest From a Mis-.
4 sionary in China.

L I a.
Sept. IS, 1906
Dear Sirs:-
China is being flooded with dirty pic
tunes enclosed in cigarette packages.
Is u not pity to assist in the corrup-
ton of this people, many of whom are
stiH modest and moral? The Chinese
did not go in search of these pictures
it Jbeing against their time honored
custom to represent women in naked
cr3 half-naked condition; their women
andA girls are always decently clothed
both summer and winter, / am sure you
are Unaware of their modesty or else
you would not have sent amongst
them lsuch indecent. lustful pictures
We missionaries leave father and
mother, and native land to come here
and spend our lives in retaining the
Chinese from vice. and you, on the con-
trary, by scattering these pictures
broadcast over the land, into every town
and hamlet and homestead, are thwart-
ing our every move. Indeed. you are
making more proselytes than we; you
gain a hundred Chinese to our one
1t is q pity that English-speaking
people, who spend millions to found
and SUPPORT missions in China, should
also send amongst the Chinese these
devil-invented obscenities to form one
of the gfeatest obstacles to their con-
version. What is the use of our trying
to convert the Chinese if you are doing
all in YOUR power to pervert them.
What respect can the Chinese have for
foreigners when they see such quanti-
ties of filthy, immoral pictures COM
ing from Them? Indeed, on your account
they are inclined to put all foreigners
in the saline category, manufacturers
merchants and missionaries, and think
i'll of thent all, to the great prejudice of
missionary work among them
This cirtulat ton of wicked, sin-entic-
ing pictuIles is two-edged sword,
which hurts both the Chinese and for
eigners-tke Chinese. inasmuch as it
takes avail the morality they still have
and reducts them to the level of the
brute-the foreigners Qeaving the great
sin and terrible judgment aside mas
much as i'll lowers them in the eyes of
the Chinesb.
What then has to be done? First of
all, cease 10 publish such pictures or
at least kdep them for yourselves and
do not dump the filth in carloads in
the midst pf the Chinese; and then, if
pictures yon must have, circulate those
of an elevHting character. You know
better than / what would take best
but if I ain allowed to igve an opin-
ion, l woulE recommend pictures of
public buildings, steamships, etc. Such
pictures wd bid raise the opinion that
the Chinese have of foreigners. You
can take MY word for it, no matter
what sort bf a picture you issue so
long as it I'D colored will be acceptable
to the ChiEiaman; but do not think
for a mom&ht that the Chinese want
immoral PHI lures. They positively do
not; these latter are being forced on
them again& their will and are alto
gether uncalN led for.
Hoping yoH b will help us in the con-
version of china by at least not put
ting obstacl rs in the way, / remain
Yours trulyt

that Moses is the author of ths Penta-

Making Ice in Minnesota.

Some farmers in Minnesota fill
their ice houses by running water
from the well, pouring an inch every
day In cold weather, and add more
as it freezes, till the house is full.
A mixture of snow and water daubed
on the inside walls of the ice house
will prevent the water from leaking
out before it freezes. Every 10 or
20 inches, as the ice house is being
filled, a layer of ordinary building
paper is spread on which allows the
ice to come out in layers when it is
used. In many places if lake or
river ice is used 1t has to be hauled
five or eight miles. By making the
ice In the house from water, it costs
almost nothing, and is in such a sol
id mass that it keeps better than ice
in blocks.

Sheriff Glenn informed his de-
puties of the fact and they were
always on their guard when enter
ing the Jail proper, ready to pour
some cold lead into either of the
pair if any false motions were made.
While Walker and Robertson
were absent for a hearing one day

succeeded in locating the cudgel
in one of their cells and he hid it.
handing it over to the sheriff when
an opportunity was given, and it is
on exhibit in the sheriff's office in
the courthouse, along with several
knives, files, and other paraphernalia
that not long since came to light i'm
the jail.
Upon arriving at Waupun with
his prisoners Saturday Sheriff Glenn
surmised from statements made by
Robertson that he had been there
before and accordingly made an
investigation. 1t was learned that

and served a term of one year at
Waupun in 1898, being incarcerated
May 9, 1898, and discharged Apr.
Is, 1899. He was sentenced from
Lacrosse county for burglary. His
picture was among the archives and
his number was 7,447.
Since returning home the sheriff
has looked up other records of the
pair and has learned that both
served time at the Iowa state prison
at Anamosa, Walker for horse
stealing, being discharged just last
August, and Robertson for burglary,
being discharged in September.
Evidently they are bold, bad men
and it is really fortunate that they
were rounded up and given long
terms before committing any more
serious offenses.

BOLD, BAD MEN

Walter Walker and Hugh Robert
son, discovered to be two as desperate
criminals as have been confined in
the county Jail in Lancaster for
some time, went before Judge
Clementson last Friday and plead
guilty to the charge of horse steal
ing and received a sentence of
seven years each at Waupun.
They will be remembered as the
pair who stole S. w. Okey's team
of horses at CassvilIe recently, and
were later captured at Davenport,
Ia, by Sheriff Glenn.
The sheriff and his deputies have
kept close tab on the pair for some
time past, receiving a tip from
another prisoner in the Jail that the
lives of all were in jeopardy if a
carefully planned dash for liberty
was brought about.
A few weeks ago Sheriff Glenn
purchased a small heating stove of
Ziegler Bros. and had it set up in
one of the jail corridors for the con-
venience of the prisoners in heating
water for bathing, etc., the heating
plant of the building being in the
basement and furnishing no such
convenience.
This stove had nickle- plated fend-
ers, common with such outfits, and
Walker and Robertson managed
one day to break these tenders from
the stove. The two pieces were
carefully laid together and bound
with a strip of blanket. The weapon
made formidable one and small
tap with 1T would have killed a
steer. One of the other prisoners
unbeknownst to the horsethieves
witnessed the performance however
and when a favorable opportunity
presented itself warned the sheriff
of the discovery.

A Bankers View.

A banker says: II know from
practical experience that it is hard
to save, but it can be done, and the
only way to do it is to keep a writ
ten account of your income and your
expenditures The man with a sal
airy Of 800 month can save more,
by keeping accounts, than the
man who has 5000 a month and does
not know how he spends his money.
The boy getting a salary of so a
week can profitably keep accounts;
a cash book If no more. The bust
ness man who would attempt to run
his business without books would be
doomed TO rapid failure The same
is true Of the salaried man; failure,
in this case, meaning failure to save.
If at the end of the year the salaried
man has nothing saved, his year has
been a failure-he has made no
profits on his business"

What One Acre Brought.

A Vernon county farmer raising
his first crop Of sugar beets this
year, furnished his local paper with
an itemized cost of raising as fol-
lows:
I have just received my check for
nearly an acre of sugar beets raised
by myself. I planted exactly an
acre, but saved about ton for the
brood sows, calves, chickens, and
for table use. They make very good
table beets, but need boiling long
and are hard. The hens eat them
well if chopped raw and they she'll
out baskets of eggs. They must be
a valuable beet for COWS. The tops
lasted nearly month for COW feed
and believe were worth ton of
bran for milk, or fifteen dollars.
They should be piled in small piles
to keep long and should be fed
sparingly to COWS or they will act
as cathartic. The cost of raising
of beets is considerable. We neg
lected to keep an exact account but
know it took about fourteen days
work to weed the acre. The plow-
ing, narrowing aud planting cost
about $25, the seed, lifting and
topping another 500, and the haul
ing So for men alone. With hired
help at $1.5O a day it cost me about
$55 to do the work. I had credited
to me 80, $50 pounds of beets, $72. AZ
Less seed and freight, $6.10, I re-
ceived in cash $66.32. There was
per cent tare, or 1,540 pounds on
the carload for dirt, etc. The beets
tested 1913 per cent sugar and the
ton price was $495. I sowed seed
rather late owing to wet soil and
had more wedding than the average
farmer to do. | believe sugar beet
raising is a cOmmendable industry
and should be tried further in this
vicinity. There IS not the big money
in it there is in tobacco some years,
but it is safer industry which fits
in we'll with other crops and other
wO1k.
