Rev. w. Hartman
Writes on China

1--WE have not been able to do
scarcely any active work yet be-
cause Of our limited knowledge OF
the Chinese language. 1t falls to-
our lot now as we return to take
charge OF the evangelistic work In
Sheuchowfu. We have had no Sun
day school but hope as soon as
am able to begin teaching the Sun
day school lessons to a number OF
teachers to start Sunday school.
We have only a couple persons who
can be trusted yet with teaching
unless they are first taught the les
sons. Our church at Yochow has
a Sunday school OF over 200. Sup
pose you are busy now getting
ready for another state convention.
"since the revolution there seems
to be quite rush to the mission
schools, especially for the study of
English and the western branches
This is seen among both boys and
girls. They are not so much con-
cerned about the westerner's God
or religion but that's human nature
whether In China or America. The
ideas of republic are little under
stood or in fact cared about among
the masses in the interior. The new
government urged the celebration Of
January / as New Year but the
mass of the people cling to their old
time and celebrated the Chinese New
Year. Thus we have two calendars
in the same country. Officially only
the Gregorian is sanctioned but the
mass of the people use the old Chi
nese calendar. We have to use
both. There is desire for foreign
dress and some Of the attempts are
amusing, reminding one of some or
the advertising models in front of
clothing houses at home. We feel
that the backbone of many of the
old superstitions is broken. Many
people are giving up the idols. We
hope that God may be able to use
us in turning some TO accept Christ
as their Saviour, Our task is tre-
mendous but the power Of our lead
er is infinite" aA.~i 80

Rev. w. G. Hartman, formerly
pastor here, but now a missionary
In China, writes to j. H. Engle:
"Your message found us on Kul-
ing where we spent the summer
pegging away at the study OF Chi
nese which we find very difficult
though fascinating. A year ago
the last December we rushed to
Shanghai as all missionaries in the
interior were ordered by the con-
suls to seek refuge in port cities
on account of the revolution. Re-
turned to Sheuchowful last Septem-
ber and remained until December
when we went to Yochow and join
ed Mrs. Hartman the day before
Christmas. We remained in Yo-
chow and on March 3, little daugh-
ter, Lucille Caroline, came to teach
us more Of Gods love and good
ness. She has brought great JOY
to us. We are now on our journey
from Yochow to Sheuchowfu. We
are travelling on large houseboat
so have been able to make things
quite comfortable. We have the
one room lined with blankets and
comforts so as to keep daughts off
OF the baby. This is our tenth day
on the trip and we will have ten
more at the best. We have had
very bad weather so far. Last
Thursday afternoon We were sail
ing along nicely when all at once
storm came up on the lake and we
had to hustle into little nook be-
tween two bluffs where the rain
and wind kept us for two and one
half days. Very few boats ventured
out because the lake was very rough.
are not considered good
sailers. We are glad to be on the
move today and before night we ex-
pect to get across the lake into the
river so that the storms will not
affect us much. We hope to reach |
in two or three days, then
our trip up the Yuen river will be-
gin. 1t has many rapids and the
many rocks in the river make 1t a
very interesting though dangerous

vETERINARIEs MUST PAY
THEIR LICENSE FEE.

A lot OF horse doctors in Kansas;
are going to find themselves oper-
ating in Kansas illegally at the end
of this month, unless the aforesaid
horse doctors come through with a
dollar in the next few days. Charles
Sessions, secretary of state, is al
ways finding something new in the
Kansas statute books or session laws
and he has just located law passed
by the 1913 legislature which pro-
vides that all veterinary surgeons
and dentists must secure a renewal
each year of their licenses to prac-
tice their professions and these re-
newals cost one dollar, the money
going to the funds Of the veterinary
board but being paid each year to
the secretary of state.
The law requires that the renewal
fee must be paid before the end Of
June of each year. The certificates
are granted by the state board OF
veterinary examiners but each certi-
ficate must be registered with the
secretary of state every year and
the fee paid to him. If the fee is
not paid the veterinarian is liable
to prosecution for practicing with
out a license.
Thus far only one horse doctor
has paid his fee. That's how th,.
secretary of state happened to Enow
about the law. This veterinarian
was a member of the legislature and
knew of the enactment of the law.
But 1t is likely that few of ths
,ther veterinarians in Kansas know
hat they have to pay that dollac
ZACH year. Mr.. Sessions called up
hose in Topeka and one or two out
ide of the city and asked them
bout the law and the fee and not
ne knew Of It.
The secretary of state has asked
he board Of veterinary examiners
Or a complete list of all the regis
cred vets in Kansas and he is go
1g to send a copy of the law Q
ach one and special notice to
ONE through with that dollar and
ct a renewal Of the license. Each
ian notified will also be told that
Mess the money is on hand by
une 80 that the failure to pay the
,e will be sent to the county at
orney with instructions to begin
to stop the vet prac-
cling until he has paid the fee as
10 law requires.

MUST GET UP EARLY
TO SEE SUN RISE.

The earliest sunrise of the year
occurs about this time. 1t you will
get up real early you maybe be able
to see it, but you will have to do 1t
within the next few mornings. The
sun arose this morning at sos while
there will be a few seconds differ
ence each day, yet there will be no
noticeable change for the next two
or three mornings. The longest day
this year will come June 81 when
summer begins.
The sun will continue to set later
in the evenings until about June
80, when 1t will set at 8:02 p. m.
After that it will begin to set earlier

Must Publish q Detailed Account Of
Receipts and Expenditures.

A new law passed by the last ses-
sion of the legislature compels the
city treasurer to publish detailed
statement of the receipts and ex-
penditures of the city for each quar-
ter. The time of publication is be-
tween the 10th and goth of June
and each three months thereafter.
The law is a good one and every
person in the city can ascertain ex-
actly where the money is going.

SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY
LISTED FOR TAXATION

While Dickinson county is one of
the richest counties in the state,
having a valuation of about 49 mill
lion dollars of which about nine
million is personal property, yet the
amount of money listed for taxa
ton is small. Outside of the cities
S451,456 was listed while the cities
show but $321,21S, or a total of
S772,674. This does not mean that
the people did not list it but their
money was probably tied up in
stock, products or other property.
In most cases the deputy assessors
do not list a small amount which is
needed to meet current expenses.

GYPSUM LOVERS BATTLE
FOR LOVE OF GIRL.

A real prize fight, pulled off Il
determine who was entitled to thu
love of a Gypsum girl, is told By
residents of Gypsum. The story
reads much like the romances ol
the days when knighthood was ir
flower.
A prominent young man of Gyp-
sum had, for some time, kept COM
pany with Gypsum girl, very pret-
ty and well known.
A short time ago there drifted in
to Gypsum a stranger from the
western part of Kansas. He be-
came enraptured with the girl and
sought her favor and party succeed
ed.
Things waxed hot then. The young
man of Gypsum did not like 1t much
but he did not talk. The young man
from the west did talk. He told
friends what would happen to the
Gypsum boy If he got excited about
1t and predicted all sorts of dire
results.
The result was an agreement to
fight 1t out. The fight as planned
was to be regular ring battle and
the field selected was in the Bert
Hall pasture lot, short distance
from Gypsum.
The battle was set for Thursday
night. All the sports Of Gypsum went
to see the affair. There were 30
many automobiles that they formed
about in a ring, in the center OF
which was the battle field. The
fights Of the automobiles lighted the
)lace brilliantly and everything was
ovely.
The participants In the battle had
heir seconds and there was
eferee. An agreement was made
hat the fight should go two rounds.
It didn't last long. The Gypsum
oy, though no talker, was fighter I
nd in a short time he had delivered 4
clean knockout to his western 9
lansas adversary. The fight ended. c
The western Kansas lad was 6
anne then and declared he had been 4
fairly, apolOgized and I
hook hands with the Gypsum boy. J
he Gypsum boy was declared vic. Z
or by the referee and the battle
nded and, according to reports. ?
verything is now progressing peace t
