Prof. Edward A. Ross of the soci-
ology department of the University
of Wisconsin goes to China shortly
to study social conditions and to
gain added material for use in his
classes. He sails Feb. 9, and will
spend some months investigating
such problems as the anti-opium
campaign, the effect of missionary
work, the growth of education on
the western model, the industrial
outlook of China, the woman quest
ion, and the fundamental problem
of population. Prof. Ross plans to
interview government officials, mer

gain his information from people

BASKET BALL

NORMAL 16-ELLSWORTH HIGH Is
The Normal basket ball team won
their game here against Ellsworth
High last Saturday evening but it
was close call. The teams were
as evenly matched as two teams
possibly could be and the score was
close throughout the entire game.
Lord, Vezina and Anderson were
the chief scorers for the visitors.
Lord scored two field baskets and a
free throw and Vezina and Ander-
son added four more points each
from the field. Peterson made the
other two points on free throws.
Manion starred in the local line up
and it was his speedy work, both
defensive and in throwing baskets,
that enabled the locals to win.
Out of eight chances for free throws
he missed but two. He also scored
two field goals, making a total of
ten points to his credit. Junkman,
Farley and Bliss each scored a field
basket. The Normal team was
handicapped considerably on 40
count of the absence of two of its
regular players. Thurston who
halls from Ellsworth, refused to
play against his old schoolmates,
and Mccain had to leave the game
early in the first half on account of
trouble with a fractured rib, sus-
tanned in practice last week. There
was large attendance at che game
and Ellsworth was we'll represented
along the side lines. The teams
lined up as follows:

THE CHRISTMAS TOPIC

Nineteen hundred and nine years
ago at Bethlehem in Judea was
born an infant of humble parent
age. With that child was born into
the world new civilization, new
Christianity, new hope. 1t mat
tiers little to, our rejoicing whether
this Child was human or divine
whether he was God or Gods mes
senger of love. Christian and inf
del alike agree that the life He led
was pure and blameless, and the
principles he taught have blessed
and sanctifed the world.
The world offers no more sublime
specta Gle than the growth of the
religion of Jesus of Nazareth. We
look back through the long centu-
ries to the time when the wise men
sought his lowly couch, and the
sword menanced his life; we trace
his humble life, stand in awe at the
sublimity of his death, and thence
forth we see this new re1igion-this
religion which brings life and i'm
mortality to light, which lights up
the future with indescribable glor-
les, which binds man in common
brotherhood with God as the Com
mon Fat her; which bends lovingly
to the lowliest heart, and whispers
that Divine tenderness and love
cares for us all,-this religion makes
steady progress, conquering by its
inherent force and winning upon
the heart by it's adaptation to all its
needs, until to-day it's temple spires
cleave the air in every civilized
land, it's gospel is daily preached in
millions of homes, and it's princi-
pies are recognized as the only basis
upon which the structure of govern
ment or society can safely rest.

behalf of the students, and Presi-
dent Wilson, in behalf of the teach
ers. Refreshments, consisting of CO.
Goa and waters and tea and waters,
were served. The occasion was a
particularly gracious one, for the
feelings of many were quickened by
the fact that one who had been
closely associated with the life of

leave it.

The Pierce County Council of
Patrons of Husbandry was organ

The object was ito promote the
moral, intellectual, social and pc
cuniary welfare of the farmers.

Pierce county once made an agri-
cultural display at a Wisconsin

"sort of spontaneous effusion. :"
We deem this proper time to re-

THE BANNER.
Thou vast not won on bloody field
Where murderous hosts in conflict meet;
But where long broad burrows yield
Their yellow wealth of ripened wheat.
Now Honor sits on Labors brow.
The golden days return again,
And Science fair shall guide the pillow
Which turns the broad filth of the plain.
Peace hath her victories, and the land
Which honors thus her sons of toll
Shall never want a willing hand
To guard, or till her fruitful soil.

Germans Planting Forests
in China

In portion of the Celestial king
dom earnest efforts are now being
made to reestablish forest-cover by
planting. Consul Wilbur T. Gracey
of Tsingtau, China, reports that the
Germans in that region are making
successful attempts at reforestation.
When Tsingtau was occupied by
the Germans about eleven years ago
the hills were found bare and barren
with only sporadic growth of scrub
pine and weeds. Plans for reforesta-
ton were at once made, and about
1865 acres have already been plant
ed. About half of this is planted in
acacias, the balance in pine, larch,
walnut, oak, ash, and elders. So
successful has this planting been
that the point has already been
reached where the sale of timber
can be made. Small branches are
sold for frewood, and some of the
timber is used for mining purposes
The sale and expectation of acacia is
expected to become a considerable
source of revenue during the next
few years.

ally with photograph music, comic
singers and recitations, and some Of
the speakers, entering into the spirit of
| the occasion, make funny speeches,
and the result is a waste of time that
could be bette used if the day sessions
were filled up with the serious purpose
of an institute, and the state speakers
are obliged to travel late at night or
all the following morning to reach the
next place, where d two-day session
begins at 1870 p. M, and that after
noon is largely de,ot to the address
OF Welcome and response, so that all the
work that is done could easily be done
III a One-day institute if the frills were
left off.
Now, | want to say something about
the way things are done at the North
Carolina Institutes, where 1 spent a
month last summer.
There is no state appropriation in
North Carolina for the general tax list
tor farmers institutes as in Pennsyl-
Vanla, but the expenses of the insti-
tutes are borne by the farmers alone,
the board of agriculture holding them
with the funds derived from the tax
on commercial fertilizers.
Institutes are held in the leisure time
between the laying-by of the croEs and
the beginning of cotton picking, a far
better season eor the speakers and the
audience to get out than in the muddy
times of winter.
The North Carolina institutes, under
the direction of DR.. TAFT Butler, who
is also the state veterinarian, have
been wonderfully successful Last
summer there were five parties in the
field, and 1873 Institutes were held
twenty-five of which I attended.
In Mecklenburg county alone there
were five institutes of one day each
and at one point we had 1900 persons
in attendance and at another point in
that county there were over 1000.
At none of these institutes was there
a lawyer to make an address of well
come and no one responded. We knew
we were welcome or the great crowd
would not nave been there nor the long
tables spread in the grove.
In fact, there was no time wasted
but every hour was filed with practical
suggestions and replies to the eager
questions Of the audience
At one point in the splendid court
house at Winston Salem in FORSYTH
SediieS, L looh Tie TOStTuIn WITH the
purpose of making an address, but did
not say word on the subject 1 had
intended to treat for they began al
once to fire questions at me on topics
that they wanted to hear from me or
and kept me on my feet for a whole
hour replying to them.
That sort of an institute is worth a
dozen where the whole time is given

no call for comic singing nor funny
lectures, but at every point the bust

lily whose winter food and clothes de-
pend wholly on his tobacco.
When the tobacco is cured it has to
be stripped-that is the leaves are
pulled off the stalk and tied into
small bundles, a worm eaten leaf be-
ing used for the tying.
This work also has to be done in
wet weather, for tobacco comes in
order according to the state of the
! barometer.
1t cannot be handled in dry, cool
weather. After the strinpin-: is COM
pleted, the tobacco Is carried to the
prizing house. where it is put into large
hogsheads and sold usually to the
highest bidder.
Five acres Is full crop for one
good hand. A favorable year r-ill make
about 5000 pounds, worth from tc
10 cents per pound.
Until recently this crop was cult
waited by the negro, but the scarcity OF
negro labor now and the present high
prices ere driving many whites to the
tobacco patch.
