The burning question of the day in
China continues to be the suppression
of the opium trade, but the work is
by no means easy of accomplishment,
and curiously enough the principal
difficulty arises from the opposition
of a Cantonese syndicate, both officiai
and professional, which controls the
sale of the so-called "opium cure"
pills. BY the devious methods so we'll
known to Chinese officials and Chi
nese merchants they not only push
their own wares as curealls but sue.
cessfully oppose and minimize the
benefits of all other remedies. Ths
anti-opium edicts for which many OF
the higher officials are responsible
have created an increased demand for
the pills, which are shown by recent
authoritative analysis 10 be almost
pure opium. Many of the officials
who have used the so-called opium
cures have reported themselves cured
of the opium smoking habit, when
they are in fact taking the same or a
larger amount of opium than before.
The profit arising from the business
of devising and disseminating cures
for the opium habit in which the
principal ingredient is opium itself
has been and continues to be very
great

When grave and ponderous pro-

spend the rest of his life explaining
that he was 'funning" when he said

she was thirty ought to lose her job
he was speaking sarcastically.

CHRISTMAS CHIMES FROM MANY CLIMES

Christmas is always a season of
good wishes and loving kindness.
In America almost all children
hang up their stockings on Christmas
eve, to be filled by kind old Santa
Claus. In Germany they make more
of Christmas than we do in Ameri-
ca Everywhere the Christmas-tree
is used.
If family is too poor to have a
whole tree, single branch only will
stand in conspicuous place, hung
with the few simple gifts.
A week before Christmas St. Mich
olas visits the children, to find out
who have been good enough to re-
ceive the gifts the Christ-child will
bring them on Christmas eve.

his poverty, and felt that the future

he neared his home the north wind

CENSUS ThKER
IS ABROAD

The school census is being taken.
AS the questions to be answered are
more numerous than ever before it
has been requested that every parent
should copy this list, and have the
answers ready when the enumerator
calls. BY so doing the work will be
greatly assisted:
1. Name of parent or guardian.
2. Names of children.
3. Date of birth of each child -
day, month, year.
4. Sex of each. child.
3. Number of weeks each child has
attended this school year (since last
August.
G. Residence address.
In addition to the above, the pa
rent will be asked to sign the cen
sus sheet This new requirement is
made necessary by a change recently
made in the law This is to make
sure that the census is correct.
1t is a noteworthy fact that all
mothers remember the date of bicth
of each of their children-but now
many fathers can tell? 1t might be
we'll to find out. Then again, how
many parents know when their chill
dren started to school and the ex-
act number of weeks each child at
tended? deduction must be made
for absence at any time.)
The enumerator is to include in
his report the names Of all persons
between the ages of 5 and Fl years
who reside in this district. This in
cludes some classes that might be
overlooked, as
/. Married women who are not 81
years Of age.
2. Children who are between 5
and and have not yet started at
school.
8. Children whose homes are in
this district, but who are temporarily
away from home attending school,
working, etc.
4. Boys and girls whose parents
live elsewhere, who have been "given
their time" or who are entirely self
supporting.
Don't forget to give the names of
these to the enumerator as they are
properly included.

mission to Enter the
City.

At the meeting of the city council
last night the Valley Power Company
of which w. T. Clark, F. NJ. Scheble
and Marvin Chase are the promoters,
asked permission to do business in
the city of Wenatchee.
The franchise submitted to the
council is almost the same as that
which was granted the Entiat Power
company.
1t is understood that the new COM
pany will furnish power and lights
for the town of Cashmere. They will
also furnish power for the drilling of
the big tunnel between Wenatchee
and Cashmere for the Wenatchee

a mile long and will require several
months time to complete. The ma

STATE COLLEGE
EXPERIMENTS
Farm and Orchard Pests to be Made
Study During the Coming
Season.

State College, Pullman, May 4.
Special-The staff of the State Col
lege Experiment station have an
niunced a number of experiments
that will be carried out during the
coming season with relation to farm
and orchard pests, one of which will
! be careful study of the sulphur
lime wash when used as a fungicide.
For the purposes of this experiment,
the wash will be tried out on apple
scab, which is one of the most
threatening fungus diseases now
now troubling orchardists of the
state.
For the purposes of this expert
ment we have planned three spray
ings," said Professor r. Kent Beat
tie, botanist of the college, recently
"One spraying will be given before
the leaf buds burst; the next one will
be given just before the blossoms
open, that is, at the time when the
usual first spraying for apple scab
occurs. We shall use several differ
! ent brands of sulphur-lime wash, and
will spray in the proportions of one
gallon of the wash to eleven gallons
of water; one gallon to fourteen OF
water, and one of wash to seventeen
| of water
! THE next spraying will be given
just after the blossoms fall, and the
same strength will be used This
work will be supplemented by COM
parative experiments with Bordeaux
mixture, which will be so planned as
to throw some light on the reasons
i why Bordeaux mixture scorches fruit.
| Different methods of applying the
Bordeaux to the trees will be tried.
| Spraying with the Bordeaux and
Vermorel nozzles will be compared.
This part of the spraying experiment
| is the extension of a series of ex-
periments carried out last year rela-
| tive to the scorching of fruit by Bor-
deaux.
Another experiment will be that
of making a physiological study Of
the effect of sulphur-lime wash on
| the flowers of the apple, the pear,
the peach and the cherry We will
do this by spraying the flowers at diff
ferent stages of the bud, and when in
full blossom, endeavoring to deter
mine whether any harm is really
done to the fruit by spraying a
blooming tree. This will be done in
cooperation with Prof. Melander, en-
tomologist of the station.
