A GLIMPSE OF MANCHURIA.
its Wind Whipped Natives and Its
Empty Brown Wastes.

Empty Brown wastes.
Manchuria means an interminable
brown plain-dry stubble, endless,
empty burrows to be filled by and by
with millet, kaoliang, waving. wonder
full green plumage, high as man and
higher, in which not many years ago
the Japanese hid whole armies.
Today 1t is the emptiest, most silent
spot in Asia. 1t spreads out fat and
tranquil In unthinkable forgetfulness.
The sun beats down fiercely out Of a
deep, unbroken field Of turquoise blue.
The air Is biting cold A sudden
breath of it is like slap. A great
tingling follows and a sense of extraor-
binary buoyancy. One feels impelled to
laugh, to shout, to strike out, to do
&iolent things. To sleep or sit with
folded hands would drive one mad.
There is that in the air which compels
like the lash of whip.
Over this brown waste, sheltering a
million seedlings, trails an endless line
of native life-a dull blue, curiously
blunt outline-w wheelbarrow men with
sprawling legs and arms wide out
stretched coolies with bamboo poles
slung across their shoulders, innumer-
able mules, cased like warriors In brass
studded brides and headpieces. don
keys picking little steps with litters on
their backs, with wide topping loads.
with native women sitting astride far
back upon their tiny launches.
These Manchu people are big, bold
faced race with brown skins whipped
dull RED by the northern winds. Shape
less bundles of them, hoods pulled over
ears, stand at the stations and stamp
their feet and beat their arms and
watch the trains come In. A struggling
line of native soldiers in bungling black
uniforms, their heads wound tightly In
black turbans. a great splash of blood
red lettering across their breasts, pre-
sent arms rigidly. with bayonets fixed

5000 MEN
Will March on Saturday Night
June 10th.

Preparations are being made by
the Butler County Liberty League
for the FIVE thousand citizens of
this county who will march in this
city, Saturday night, June 20.
The league held very large and
enthusiastic meeting Monday
night in the German Home on
Court street. The Walnut Mutu-
al Aid Society, BARRIERS Union,
Benevolent United Brotherhood
and Iron Molders' Union No. 283,
joined the movement and their del
egates were seated.
The different committees ep-
pointed at the last meeting made
their reports and everything looks
favorable for at least FIVE thousand
men in the parade. The commit
tee will engage at least six bands
for the parade as this amount will
be easily be required if all the or
ganiZations who have notified the
committee will be in line.
Two stands will be erected in
front of the Court House. German
aud English speakers will be here
and both will speak at the same
time. 1t is the intention of the
committee to have all hear the
speakers and those who cannot un-
derstand german can hear the eng
lish speaker.
Mr.. c. H. Windel of Chicago,
who spoke in Cincinnati a few
weeks ago will likely be one of the
speakers. Rev. Friedrich of Gov
ington and Rev. Hoffman of Balti-
more, have also been selected as
two of the speakers.
About six hundred are expected
to come from Middletown and sew
eral of the farmers unions through
out the county have notified the
committee that they will be in line.
The line of march will be an.
nounced later.

la POINT BOY DROWNED
go
While Trying to Cross from
Madeline Island to the
Main Land

The body of young "Pattie'
Peterson, who was drowned last
Saturday afternoon while attempting
to cross ON the ice from Bayfield, to
La Pointe was found at $3.50 this
afternoon. The victim of the
drowning, accident is the son of John
Peterson, the we'll known, boat
builder of La Pointe and was Is
years of age.
1t was at first thought that young
Hagen who had started out with
Peterson had drowned but it was
later found that Peterson was the
victim. Fl"
According to Hagen both had
succeeded in making the trip across
the ice from LaPointe to Bayfield,
and had not encountered any thin
ice .untilethey attempted to make
the return trip. They had gone
about three quarters of mile from
Bayfield, when Peterson struck thin
ice. Before young Hagen could save
his companion, Peterson sank to the
bottom. 1t is thought that he was
overcome with cramps Immediately
upon falling through ice Hagen bare
ly escaped drowning himself and only
by breaking considerable ice did he
save his own life. - The. body. of
Peterson was found in 500 feet of
water. Ashland. Press.

Maxcy and His Chickens

That flock of chickens w i net
more than 100 per cent GA the
investment in the dead of winter is
being demonstrated right INV 10y
D. NJ. Maxcy. Dan says that last
spring Mrs. Maxcy and he
children started raising a fl eek Of
chickens. During the summe time
he gave them little or no attention
but when Mrs. Maxcy made the
statement that the hens were be
ginning to lay eggs last fall he b.
gan to get interested. The cost o.
keeping the flock of chickens was
figured down to II cent and tn
revenue through the sale OF eggs
was also put down. 1t was along
about Christmas when they began
to pay for themselves and now Mr..
Maxcy says he is determined TO see
lust what they will do. The flock
consists of Rhode Island reds and
eghorns. There iseforGy three in
the flock aud the average egg
production at the present time is
about twenty eggs per day. These
are bringing 35c per dozen on the
market. The other day o g
merchant wanted to drop, the price
on Mr.. Maxcy out he was
determined to give the hens every
chance and he Immediately looked
up another merchant who was
willing to pay 35c dozen for
strictly fresh eggs.
/. The secret of success in getting
hens to lay in winter is in the
feeding declares Mr.. Maxcy. This
is his feed program, A mixture of
cracked corn and wheat in the
morning. the corn fed in a trough
and the wheat scattered over the
litter on the floor in order to keep
the hens working. At noon q feed
of cooked potato pealings and scraps
is fed and the grain ration is given
at night. Plenty of grit, oyster
SHELLS and dry bran is kept before
the hens at all times. The coop is
warm one and there is plenty of
ventilation. -
That Mr.. Maxcy is becoming
nterested,ia the chicken business
lis no mistake for he is now reading
poultry journals during spare time
and is making a study OF the
business. ;s ~.

Whiskey Good in its Place

Dir. Guthrie of Scotland on one
occasion expressed his opinion Of
whiskey in these words; "Whiskey
is good in it's place. There is
nothing in the world like whiskey
for preserving a man when he is
dead, but it is one of the worst
things in the world for preserving
man when be is living" If you
want to keep dead man, put him
in whiskey; y you want to kill a
living man put whiskey in him.
