NEW INDEX BOOKS

Everett McPhee. former county treas
urer and II. w. Sith, chairman of the
county democrats, have resumed their
work on the new index books to the
county records.
There were some in the county who
thought the county commissioners
should advertise for bids for the work,
but such step seems not to have been
taken. Perhaps the commissioners
thought they would be unable to save
any money by doing so, or perhaps they
wanted to make sure that the work
should go to those they wanted to have
it.

defeated Aspen twice and thus have a

Austin Gavin had his ice plant whistle
going some at 6 clock Tuesday morn

in an alarm of fire. Some few failed to
hear the whistle, but the fire boys were
out and ready for work that they sup

proved to be the result of the fireman
at the Troy laundry using coal oil to
start fire with. In some manner the
oil can became ignited and the can was
thrown into the alley. Nightwatchman
Chenoweth saw the flames and secured
water and put out the blaze. While he
was doing this, someone turned in au
alarm and a general rush of the fire
department followed.

Easy Terms
Railroads in China

IL was an interesting coincidence that
there came to hand almost simultaneous
~ the announcements of the completion
of the ..algan railroad in China and Of
the death of Chang Chih-tung. That
statesman was one of the foremost and
most effective advocates of railroad
building in China by the Chinese them
selves rather than by foreign concession
holders, and this Kalgan railroad Is
spoken of as the first railroad in that
country which was projected and con-
structed by Chinese. That statement
concerning it may not be literally and
exactly accurate, and it is sufficiently true
to be of marked significance, and there
is cause for qualification in the fact that
the aged patriot who has just died lived
to see the completion of an important
road which was constructed according
to his wise policy.
Twenty years ago, of all the official
opinions which were expressed fully 30
per cent were uncOmpromisingly antag-
onistic to the construction of railroads
in China. 1t was the manifestation Of
that spirit which provoked Mr.. Chang to
write and publish his remarkable and in
fuential book. At present Mr.. WI esti-
mates that at least 50 per cent of Off
Gals and other intelligent men in China
are in favor of railroad building, and par
ticularly Of railroad building by the Chi
nese themselves. That is a noteworthy
change to have been effected in 20 years
or less, and it is a pretty convincing re-
ply to those who doubt the practicability
of an awakRing of China, especially
since II is only one of numerous indica-
items to the same effect

How to Entertain the Little Girl

Dear Miss Thomas: We have taken The
Journal for years and always read Chat.
Thanks for your nice, kind talks. they inspire
new courage and greater patience I'm our allotted
tasks.
Seeing Mrs. Christians recent letter asking
how To entertain her little girl during the ap-
preaching winter l give her some Of my early
experience, having been raised one child among
groWn-ups.
My first toy. after rattle and big doll, was a
pair Of bunt-poiuttd scissors. like those used
by dry goods clerks. with which I cut paper.
First old newspapers into long strips. which
some elcer person at their leisure twisted into
lamp-lighters. Then white sheets into various
shapes, principally TO represent men ana wo-
men. BY folding the paper several times and
cutting the dolls smaller you make whole ROW
OF boys and girls. About this time | was given
box Of water paint, and | woald spend hours
cooring my dolls and their garments. | had a
the happy tea parties dolly and | enjoyed. eat
ing crackers or biscuit and drinking water from
the tiny cups. First and second readers were
among my playthincs. Looking at the pictures
created q desire to know about them and | soon
learned 10 spell thJm out by myself.
II you have a west window your little girl
can watch the bright, changing clouds of sun
set. This was the time Of my husbands even
ing homecoming. and tot spent at least
half hour every afternoon watching the
clouds and waiting for him. This gave him a
love fer nature which has increased with his
years.
May these hints add many pleasant hours TO
the little girls self-entertainment Kind wishes

Navy Not Needed

The London policeman, aside from the
matter of pay, has every advantage over
his New York contemporary. He is look
ed up to with respect His slightest COM
mand is obeyed in the public streets. He
takes himself very seriously, and is grave
and solemn under the weight of his re-
sponsibility. l never saw London po-
liCeman laugh, or even smile. except in
one instance, and he was an Irishman,
and possibly might be considered toe
human for his office. His relation to the
people is entirely different from that OF
the New York policeman. The greatest
power over him is that Of parliament.
and all political parties are friendly to
him. He is occasionally investigated by
royal commissions, which investigation
is impartial. and. if anything, friendly tc
him. 1t is their hope to find everything
as it should be.-William McAdoo, i'm Sep
