NATIVES ARE EATING LEAVES
GRUESONIE STORY OF HORRORS
OF THE PLAGUE IN CHINA,
Unable to Obtain Food People De-
YOUR Anything They Can Find.
Trees Stripped of Bark.

WASHINGTON. - More gruesome
stories of the horrors of the Chinese
famine reached the state department
today from the consul general at
Shanghai, who sums up conditions
at the beginning of February
One traveller reported passing thir-
teen bodies in thirteen miles on the
road. The missionaries tell of the
natives eating cakes made of leaves
and stems mixed with millet chaff,
which they buy with the allowance
from the government of three cents
apiece.
The trees had been stripped of
bark which had been eaten. DR..
Cochrane, an American Presbyterian
missionary, declared that in the
whole afflicted region there were
two million starving people. In one
village of 100 families one-third were
dead of hunger and pestilence. Snow
was falling, and many were without
proper shelter or clothing.
The missionaries have attacked the
work of relief with the greatest sys-
tenn and directness. The families

BIBLE FIGURES IN DIVORCE SUIT
Minister Read Unsuitable Verses to

AAAAASbSA AeCau OnSlA1LdDlG NefSeS TO
Child and Made Wife Shine Shoes.
The Bible was quoted by the at
torney for Mrs. Cora L. Kork in a
brief filed in her suit for divorce
from the Rev. Arno B. Kork, a Meth
odist pastor of ST. Louis, and for the
custody of their four-year-old son.
The attorney insists that verses read
by the minister to his little son are
not such as can be understood by a
child, and were read for the purpose
of harrassing a bereaved family. One
verse, Mrs. Kork says, referred to
her mother, who died in January.
The quotation was. The Ungodiy
Shall Perish"
1t is also urged that Kork made
a servant of his wife by compelling
her to shine his shoes 100 times a
year and to perform other mental
duties. Mrs. Kork says her hus-
band forced her to witness his twist
ing Of chicken necks, his method Of
killing them for the family meal.

THE OLDEN, GOLDEN DAYS.
Considering Them, Why Do Modern
Wives Complain, Anyway?


The times have changed in many
ways since knights were dudes of tin;
the modern wife has too much woe,
which gets beyond her chin. She
whoOps and walls and rants around,
for love has grown so cold, and hub
by does not kiss her oft as in the
days of old. Ye wives get down and
thank your stars that you're alive at
all; to talk about a frigid love you
have a bunch of gall! Way back in
1928, when steam heat was I'M
known, fat kings did only what they
pleased or else kicked down the
throne. A monarch in those CORY
days would cop lovely femme and
turn the church and state about to
keep his precious gem. But when
her hair grew short and thin, when
lips had lost their red, he'd call an
eXecutioner and amputate her head.
Full soon he'd cast his lamps about
to catch another wife whose looks
would get his royal goat and share
his royal life. He'd get one. then
grow tired of her. and then some
summer day he'd walk into her gold
boudoir and speak his little lay:
My dear, you've been a dandy pal

though | hate to see it done you'll
have to lose your neck. It's true.
have another belle, who's down
stage in my eye, so since there can't
be but one it's better that you die"
He tells the ancient coroner to send
a fancy hearse, and into it he'd slide
his wife for better or for worse.
Just see, you modern, kicking wives,
what lives your sisters led. You
want to mott lay of thanks your

AGED MAN OUT OF PRISON.
Bowed With Weight of Time After
Thirty Years Incarceration.

Bowed with the weight of 70
years, feeble and broken by long
hard work in the penal service of
the state, Henry Hodges went forth
Thursday.
Hodges, who is a negro, was sent
up from bingham county in 1882,
and hence had served nearly thirty
years. He killed another man in a
general row. AS he is old and in
i'll health the prison commission
and Governor Brown thought he
ought to spend the balance of his
days a free man. His prison career
has been model one.

ject OF general criticism ever since tn
state has been collecting it. is one o
the few excellent things that must b.
set down to the credit of the presen
legislature. 1t ends the iniquitous dou-
bic taxation which the old law en-
tailed, by which the man who needed
lmoney and who was consequently
least able to bear the burden of taxa
tion was singled out for second tax
burden. This is one OF the reforms
urged by the administration and rec
commended by Governor Osborn in his
annual message.
According to the Fowle bin there
win no longer be n tax on mort
gages-a tax which experience has
shown is borne by the person whose
property is mortgaged, not as was in
tended when the mortgage tax law was
passed, by the person holding the
mortgage. Instead recording fee of
one half of one per cent will be
charged Experience has shown in
other states that this fee is paid by
the holder of the mortgage.
1t has been found in other states,
too. that the recording fee draws out
mortgages which are kept in retire
ment under the taxation system. In
other words it makes for honesty
where the old system operated against
his. It removes the incentive for dis
honesty and the effort to avoid paying
q tax required by law but which is
Known to be unjust.
The law win not become immcdi-
,tely operative, for the constitution
provides that NO act shall take ef-
cct or be in force until the expira-
ion Of ninety days from the end Of
he session at which the same is
'assed," but it will within a compar-
lively short time wipe out the op-
rcsslve and unjust mortgage tax sys-
EN-, which laid the burden or shoul-
ers that were least able to bear it,
