h. {. |. EVEN HITS
FAR AWAY CHINA
Chin All Wong, Richmond
Chinaman, Returns From
Visit to Nativity.
SAYS PRICES ARE HIGH
Wong Declares He Is Unable
to Bring Family to the
United States.
SAYS PRICES ARE HIGH

Even from far away China comes
the echo to the wall that has gone up
over the high cost of living. Chin
All Wong, a Richmond Chinaman, who
returned Wednesday from a visit of
several months in his native village of
Sen Tun in the province of Canton
reports that wages have been doubled
since his last visit there fifteen years
ago, but that the prices of commodi-
ties have scared accordingly.
Has Wife and Son.
Wong has a wife and son in his
home town. He says he does not want
to bring his wife to this country be-
cause he could not make the right
kind of a living for her here. He is
able to support his family in that coun-
try at the present time on $3.50 year.
Better keep her over there and
have her in comfortable circumstances
than have her here and both of us
have a hard time making both ends
meet" he says.
Wong expects to bring his son to
this country to complete his education
in a couple of years. He had consid-
cred sending the boy to Earlham, but
has not fully made up his mind. He
expects to educate the BOY so that he
will be an expert accountant, or be
fitted for some other Office work.
Second Trip Home.
wong came to this country in 1881
when he was but thirteen years old.
He made his first trip home fifteen
years ago when he returned to be mar
ried. During the last fifteen years
China has changed so much that he
hardly knew his native country on his
recent visit home, he says.
There is now daily newspaper in
his home town, train service and cleo
trio lights, he says. Several companies
are prospecting for gold near the vii
lage. The regiment of soldiers quar-
tered there has been changed in ap-
pearance and become more proficient
in drill, due to the return of officers
educated at West Point and European
military schools.

l75 CRITICS KNOW
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH OUR CHURCHES
Tell the Rev. Mr.. Parker Cos
pei Message Lacks
Appeal.
ONLY TWO SATISFIED
Many Maintain Church Too
Busy Gathering Funds
For Extensions.
ONLY TWO SATISFIED

The Rev b. Earl Parker, pastor of
First NJ. E. church, who recently dis
trbuted about the city TO men in va
rious walks of life list of questions
pertaining to the modern church, has
been informed that it is up to the
church to get busy
For several days answers to these
questions have been pouring into the
First NJ. E. parsonage. He already
has received IT'S replies and expects
to receive almost as many more be-
fore the end of the week.
The Rev. Parker has realized that
the church has not kept pace with the
twentieth century gait, so he was
prompted to make his unique public
appeal for the opinions or the laiety as
to the needs of the church today.
The prompt response to his appeal
has shown the deep interest Richmond
takes in this question, and the sugges-
tions contained in the replies he has
received are especially pertinent, for
the majority of them are from people
not generally classified as church
men"
Appeal is Weak
'1t was remarkable thing that
most of the replies | received have
taken exception to Question No. Z,
What is the chief cause of the re-
ligious indifference of SO many in our
community? | have been vigorously
informed that the mass of our people
are not Indifferent to religious work. y
said the Rev. Mr.. Parker today. Il
have been told that the lax church at
tendance is due primarily to the fact
that the church has not taken suffi
cient interest in making it's appeal
to the people more popular"
In the replies the Rev. Mr.. Parker
has received there has been a general
criticism that the church has been too
busily engaged in raising funds for it's
support and expansion to properly per-
form it's social service function. a
number of replies have informed the
Rev. Mr. Parker that reVivals are held
for the sole purpose of benefiting the
church, to the extent OF enlarging its
revenue through increased member
ship; not to benefit the public.
Only two people who sent in an
swers to the Rev. Mr.. Parker'S list of
questions are entirely satisfied that
the churches of Richmond are doing
all the work that the church of Jesus
Christ should do.
The critics of the church who have
answered the questions of the Rev.
Mr.. Parker are engaged in thirty-three
vocations. In the list are lawyers, doc
tors, journalists, merchants, capital
lists, idlers, merchants, mechanics, day
laborers, clerks, bookkeepers, police
men, manufacturers and politicians.
Typical replies to the Rev Mr.. Par
ker's questions from men engaged in
various occupations, but with their
names withheld, will be made public
shortly.
These replies will also furnish ma
terial for a number of sermons the
Rev. Mr.. Parker will preach at the
First NJ E. church. probably begin
ming the first Sunday in December.

 RED RIVER LEvEE

Texarkana, Ark. Dec. 15-The flood situation in the Red River bottoms, so far as the east side of the river is concerned, today is an acute one, and prospects are that much suffering, together with heavy loss of live stock and crops, will be the toll of the flood waters.
 The breaking of the main levee in Red River Levee District No. 1, which is In Lafayette County, Saturday afternoon has resulted in inundoting some 30,OO0 acres of valuable farm lands, and re- ports from the flooded district today are to the effect the loss of live stock has been heavy. The big break occurred opposite the Avery place shortly after noon Saturday, but the main body or this flood water had not reached the lowlands around Garland City by noon today, nor was it expected before some time to- morrow.

PINE BLUFF ALSO MAY BE
 DRY 10 DAYS

Pine Bluff, Dec. 15-It seems a foregone conclusion that Pine Bluff will be "dry" for at least 10 days after the first of the com ing year, and probably longer.
 Attorneys for saloon men have advised that the petitions asking the county judge to grant license should not be published until af- ter the first of the year, as the new anti-saloon law does not go into effect until December 31. This will postpone a hearing in the county court at least 10 days and it may take several days for the county judge to reach a de- cision as to whether or not the petitions contain the names of a majority of white adults of the city as required before he is per- mitted to issue license for saloons.

Mrs. l. c. Dukei died at her home in Hugo Oklahoma, on her 72nd birthday, on the 29 of Nov ember.
 She was a constant but patient sufferer for 8 months, from Cancer of the Stomach. Her death was not unexpected but yet that great Monster, Death, is always unwelcome.
 Her life was an example, full of joy, peace and sunshine, never tireing in the work of her Savior, always ready to do his Will. While we feel lonely, to say Mother has gone to stay. but we know she has gone to that sweet beyond where comes no sorrow, pain nor death. We will under stand it all .bye and bye, and by the grace and help of the..Savior in whom she trusted to carry her through this world of great trials and troubles we expect to join her in that sweet beyond.
 She leaves a husband, two sons and two daughters, in all their lonliness, but We humbly bow in submission to His blessed Will. Her funeral was heidi in the Naza- rene church by Rev. Dave Hum- pllry and her remains was inter- ed at Springhill Chapel cemetery of West Hugo Oklahoma.
