INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, February 81.
Mrs. Lew Shank, the wife of the
mayor of indianapolis, accompanied
him on his recent trip to New York
to study market conditions When
asked if she would hike to live in
New York she answered.
Home life in a small town or a city
Of moderate size is infinitely prefer
able to a life in New York. The noise
and the hurry and the glitter and the
expense here must be a continual
strain, both physically and mentally.
And then there is the lack of true 81
cial spirit, the neighborliness that
makes small communities so delight
ful. If somebody offered me $1,000
900 to stay here instead of going back
to indianapolis l wouldn't take it"

United States, and has been invited
to return to China to receive an i'm.
portant appointment at the hands OF
the new government. Another promi
nent Chinese leaving on the China
was Sun Chung, who was accompanied
by the family. Sun is the nephew OF
DIR. Sun Vat Sen, the first provisional
president of the new republic.
Although it rained more or less
throughout the day, the sun broke
through the clouds just preceding the
departure of the China, and when the
yachtlike liner moved smoothly out
into the stream the clear sun illumin
ated the scene and made it appear as
if old Sol had chosen to spotlight the
vessel. The start of the steamer was
perfect, and Captain Rice created a
new record in the time necessary to
get ship started toward the Golden
Gate.
With only 1852 passengers on board
including the Asiatics in the steerage
quarters, the China is taking out a
lighter list than usual. This is due to
the lack of missionaries now sailing
for the Orient. 1t is expected that this
condition will continue until affairs in
the interior of China have simmered
down and everything is normal, when
the travel will begin to pick up. This
condition affects the intermediate
steamers like the China, Persia and
Nippon Maru more than the larger
liners.

WashingtOn.-On January 31 of this year. there were 96 postal savings Repositories in operation in Arkansas, with deposits amounting to over $67,- 500. according to a report issued by the postoffiee department. This amount was deposited by about $50 depositors, or an average of sS2 per depositor.
