From that day until two years ago
no Chinese emperor dared say any
thing against smoking. The Chinese
raised peoples in nine of the eighteen
provinces of their country, and would
have raised more if the climate and
the soil had been suitable. From an
importer of the drug China has be-
come an exporter. Almost all of the
opium that is brought into the United
States comes from the Flowery king
dom. No longer does it pay tribute
to Britain for it's supplies. Britain
can tax the trade in her own India,
but that's good deal like trying to
lift herself by her own bootstraps. And
as was said at the beginning, when a
national vice does not pay it is in a
bad way.
The Chinese consul in New York
was sought to throw light on the eff
forts of his government, after 70 years
of silent resignation, to free its sub
jects from the opium habit. He was
educated at George Washington and
Columbia universities and speaks Eng

will the Chinese" he was asked,
''be able to break off the opium habit
in the ten years in which they have
been given to do it,"
Il think so,'' he replied. "The gov
eminent has already taken extraordi-
nary measures to curtail the sale Of
the drug, and the increasing difficulty
with which it may be obtained will as
sist victims of the smoking habit in
breaking off. 1t used to be, for in
stance, SO that any coolie in a city
need not go more than half the length
of one of your city blocks to find a
place where he could buy all the
more than that, there were in all Chi
nese cities places where anybody
could go to smoke the pipes and other
appliances being furnished by the
proprietors. These places were for
the accommodation of the poorer class
of Chinese who could not afford to
own pipes. 1t was the custom of Chi
nese laborers to drop into these re-
sorts two Or three times q day and
smoke, just as an American laborer
| may take a glass of beer at noon and
| another at night.
Cali this is now changed. The Chi
nese government has imposed the
same sort of regulations upon the sale
of smoking opium that many American
municipalities have imposed upon the
sale of liquor. If the public officials
of America were suddenly ordered tc
stop smoking cigars 1 imagine the
command would be obeyed only with
the greatest difficulty by some of thu

TRUCK FARMING IN WISCONSIN
Lucky Illinois Man Turns $50
Into $4,000

johnson Willard was the lucky man.
lie lived on farm near Sprlngheld
Illinois, and from the time he was old
enough to walk he had been helping
his father on the farm. The other
helpers got board and wages, but
Johnson got only board.
He grew tired of it one day and told
the old man he was going to pull loose
and with sudden streak of gener-
osity the elder Willard handed him $50
to go to the city with.
But johnson didn't go to the city.
He knew he was better fitted to wrest
get some soil of his own. So he put
his $50 into a first payment on forty
acre platin the Round Lake country, W1scon-
sin. Because the land was new, and
it for ridiculously low sum-about
$500 altogether, and five years to make
the payment in. The work was pretty
hard-pioneer work always is-but it

Base Ball
RIVER FALLS 3-PIoNEERs 5

RIVER FALLS 3-PIONEERS 5
River Falls lost the game here
Sunday with the St. Paul Pioneer
Business College team, all on &C
count Of two bad fumbles and wild
throw. Up to the seventh inning
the locals had the game neatly
tucked away and the bugs were
smiling and happy. But their joy
was doomed to drop with dull and
sickening thud for in that inning
the visitors were handed the game
with hardly an effort on their part.
River Falls scored one run in the
first, after blanking their opponents.
Neither side threatened again until
the first Of the fourth, when the
visitors took the lead by punching
hits for two runs. Their supremacy
was short-lived however, for the
locals also got two men around the
circuit in that inning. There was
nothing doing in the scoring line
in the next two innings. In the
fatal seventh the visitors got on the
merry-go-round and were pushed
around by bad errors at second
base. A wild throw presented the
visitors with another score in the
ninth and the locals, being unable
to keep the pace were nosed out of
what seemed a certain victory.
Aside from those three costly errors
the home team played A No. l ball.
Quinot and Borrowman, the River
Falls battery, played an excellent
game and deserved to win.

Reflections of q Bachelor Girl
BY MAUD MARIE

An ounce of propinquity is worth bushel of love letters.
 When a man begins talking spiritual love-" somehow woman can't help stealing glance in the mirror to see what is the mat ter with her.
 To the average woman black band on young man $ coat sleeve is as good as a 'call to arms.'
 Of course, love is blind No man would go in for matrimony if he could see where he was going
 The man who falls in love with woman's ankle is somehow always shocked and disap- pointed to find that she has brain at the other extremity.
 Marriage is no disgrace -and yet when the average man confesses to being married in the presence of pretty woman he always acts so apologetic about it.
 A recent book mentions ''twenty ways to catch wife," but not one to 'uncatch" her.
 Most men would rather try to live down bad reputation than to try to live up to a good one.
 This is the time of the year when the ham, mock begins to look forward to a vacation and the cozy corner girds up its loins for ex- tra work
 Love, like lightning, never strikes twice in the same place.

THE LUXURIOUS WEST

Is there danger that the west is growing eff fetes Are the hardy virtues of the pioneers failing of repetition in the easier lives of their sons! Must the ripened crops languish for lack of laborers, while the future heirs and heiresses disport themselves! That veteran friend of the once horny-handed farmer Secretary Wilson. reports that his client is more than out of debt. He has paid for his farm, his fences, and his machinery. He has money in his pockets, the crops keep on growing, and he is afraid of east ern securities Hence he buys uxuries. In the words of the secretary "Folks in the east do not know what luxuries are. They must % west to find that out"
 Simultaneously, Chancellor Strong, of the University of Kansas, sounds a note of warning against tendencies to degeneracy among col leglate youth. He deplores that western boys instead of being studious 'grinds,' ' are spend Ing their time in automobiles and in other costly amusements.
 In book learning they may fall behind the con dltloned 'dudes' of eastern colleges. Yet a western editor halls the sturdy virtues of Kan sas Tn contrast with the lazy idleness of old Europe, and western governor has entered protest against what he calls the tyranny of the east Perhaps this very earnestness is a symp- tom of regret for the old ruggedness that is be- coming smoothed and softened It may be the praise of the passing, while the west turns from the stern hardships of pioneer fathers to avid dalllance with luxuries of the sons.

OUR DAISY MILLERS."

An American woman, after a tour of the Con- tinent indrlges in some severe criticism of American girls travelling abroad. To her stern view these feminine wanderers from their native land, with their purses filled by indulgent fathers plodding at home, are entirely degen- crate" Some other observer, whom she quotes anonymously, has whispered into her receptive ear the startling statement: From one end of the Continent to the other American girls are held as playthings, as empty-headed little geese, whose mothers have no better sense than they" Her conclusion is that the American girl abroad "must reform or suffer ostracism."
 It does not appear from this critics state ment where she beheld these errant maidens, nor whence they came But her testimony is not corroborated nor is her opinion shared by other adult American travellers. It may be per tinent that the critic is maiden. Perhaps were she married, with daughters of her own, she would be less austere She might then under stand that American girls, when they go abroad, may do the foreigners do, but that they will remain American. They cannot if they would, put aside their nationality as they would a gown. They would not, if they could, ape the ways of the French or German young girl The American girl may have faults. If so, they are her own. They are not those of her foreign cousin There is no reason why American girls, when abroad should witness spectaces in con cert halls and other places of amusement that they would not dream of visiting at home. If they do behold such sights in the capitals of Europe 1t can be only when they are escorted, so that their masculine relatives would seem re- sponsibe for such errancies-whch one would believe are the rare exception. Unless mis- guided, the American girl abroad can take care of herself, without needing chaperonage of such acidity.

Lot 4l2 Live Oak Street, Miami, Arizona, FREE

This lot to be given away is in the central part of the townsite in the heart of the business section, and is one of the most valuable business lots in the town. A war ranty deed similar to all other deeds will be issued to the winner.
 The lot is centrally located and will advance in price as the town grows. Miami is destined to be a large city. There are now employed 700 men in the mines of this dis trict. The pay roll is now $75, 900 per month.
 It will require ten times the num- Der of men now employed twenty years to mine the known ore bodies in this district. That means 1000 men and over a half million dollars per month in wages paid into the Miami District.
 Lots located in this central busi- ness section should be worth $1 900 per front foot, or $25, ,000 per lot. That means a fortune to the person winning the lot to be given away.
 The income from this lot should begin at once, as it can be rented now.
 If a child should win this lot it would be fortune for it before it could grow to maturity. The in come received from this lot in short time should be enough to send "a young man or woman to college.
 It is better than life insurance because instead of you paying for 1t, it pays you It increases in value the older you grow.
 It is a better investment than mining stock because mining stock has only one mine back of it while this lot has all of the mines back of it and is sure to win. It will give you chance to go into business.
 It would support a widow and orphans or pension your old age.
 You can't afford to miss being present when this lot is given away. So be there to protect your inter terests and those of your family.
 The townsite company believes in larger families, so it will give one ticket to each member of fam. fly. HELP THE BABY TO WIN A
