Opium Trade Dying Out.

According to United States Consul
General G. +. Anderson, stationed at
Hong Kong. the opium trade is SLOW
ly but surely dying During the past
ten years exports from India through
the mort OF Hong Kong have dwindled
rapidly, and government restrictions
are crushing the once extensive husi-
ness. The authorities concerned in
the suppression Of the opium traffic
consider that all has now been done
toward that end which can be done
in the way of legislation or interna-
tional agreement and the future OF
the trade now rests uDon the manner
in which existing legislation and
treaty agreements are to be enforced.

Window Boxes as Cure for Nerves.
New York, May Il. - Mrs. Marti'
neau, garden maker has come to show
Americans their neglected opportuni-
ties for gardens and the Joy OF gar
dening. Americas trouble In respect
to gardening Is lack ,of knowledge OF
It's own fora and the cultivation OF II.
You have room enough to do any
thing in the line OF gardens, yet your
suburban homes seldom have more
than bit OF grass growing about
them" says Mrs. Martineau. "Beauti.
full lawns are indeed JOY, but old
walled gardens, rose terraces, borders,
beds and parterres OF single color
or pOlychrome, mean a thousand
times more delight. | see little hope
for New York City in the way OF
gardens, but you fiat dwellers could
have more window boxes. and apart
ment house yards should be filled with
flowers. New Workers would be hap
pier and less nervous II they had
more greenery about. Gardening Is
the best nerve cure. London, smoky
as II Is, Is far richer in door yards
than is New York." concluded this
garden expert. and everyone who has
been a.touring in England will agree
with her. you Americans are used
to everything on such huge scale
that you fail to realize how much gar
dening can he done In patch hard
ly bigger than a pocket handkerchief

New York City Healthy for Babies.
A baby has a better chance of life
in New York City than any place
else In the State. Despite crowds and
heat and tenement houses, infant
mortality is far less than in the rural
districts. Which is why DR.. Herman
Riggs. State Commissioner OF Health.
has started a Statewide campaign for
better babies. Always remember
that nearly everything that grows
must have three things-good food,
plenty Of sunlight and fresh air he
says. Cultivate the baby as you do
your bushes and trees. Don't put toe
many clothes on the baby. and b7the
il every day in warm weather Don't
allow the child to play with cats and
dogs. for they carry disease to chill.

room should be screened. And he

MANY babies are handled too much.
DR.. Biggs is sure close following Of
these few simple rules will greatly
reduce the infant mortality rate oil
this State.

PIGS AND EDUCATION AND

race is in constant search of means
with which to provide better homes,
schools, colleges, and churches, and
with which to pay debts. This is es-
pecially true during the hard financial
conditions obtaining on account of
the European war. All of this cannot
be done at once, but great progress
can be made by good strong pull
together, in a simple direct manner
How?
There are I,4oo, 900 colored families
who live on farms or in villages, or
small towns. Of this number, at the
present time, 100000 have no pigs. !
want to ask that each family raise
at least one pig this fall. Where one
or more pigs are already owned, !
want to ask that each family raise one
As soon as possible, want to ask
that this plan be followed by the or
ganization of a Pig Club in every
community where one does not al
ready exist. I want to ask that the
matter be taken up at once through
families, schools, churches, and so,
cieties, Farmers Institutes, Business
Leagues, etc.
The average pig is valued at about
$500. If each family adds only one
pig, in a few months at the present
prices for hogs, $1,000 would be added
to the wealth of the owner, and $I4,.
ooo, 1000 to the wealth of the coloret
people. If each family adds two pigs
it would have in few months $2o.o 90
more wealth, and $4,000, 900 would be
added with which to promote the well
fare of the race during the money
stringency created by the European
war. ~
Let us not put it off, but organize
Pig Clubs everywhere. Give each
boy and girl an opportunity to own
and grow at least one pig.

should he not take issue with the

But Trotter took issue and did talk
and the president does not enjoy

Segregation, No Discrimination.
The press dispatch says:

Inc press uiSPdtCu ouyo'
"A 15-minute interview had been ar
ranged for the callers and the presi-
dent received them in his office with
only his stenographer present. The
delegation formally complained that
Postmaster General Burleson, Secre-
tary McAdoo and Williams of the
treasury department were enforcing
segregation of white and Negro en-
ployees in their offices. Mr.. Wilson
listened to the statement and then re-
Piled at length, explaining that he had
investigated this matter himself and
had been assured that no discrimina-
ton had been practiced against the
Negroes and that segregation had been
inaugurated to avoid friction between
the races, not to injure the Negroe.
He added that he was deeply interest
{, ed in the Negro race and admired it
for the progress it had made"

Burlington Post: The Bulletin, pub

fftieth volume few weeks ago. Ed
tor Phillip Dallam takes pardonabIe
pride in recording the fact. The Bull

might be glad to be the proprietor OF.
Unless our memory is at fault, the
Bulletin has been in the Dallam ram
ilv since its first number appeared
The elder DaIlam established the
Bulletin in 1864. He was succeeded
at his death by Frank NJ. Dallam, his
eldest son. who In turn transferred
the paper to Phillip Dallam his young
er brother. Frank Dallam went to
the Pacific coast nearly forty years
ago. He is still newspaper publish
er somewhere in the states OF Wash

sumed charge OF the paper when his
brother Frank went west. and since
has been editor and publisher The
Dallem family possesses a genius fol
running weekly newspapers. Phillip
has been an editor for forty years
and he has been more than usually
successful. He and his paper have
great influence at Warsaw. For thirty
years Phillip has been the most inhu
entiaI and most deferred-to citizen IN
western Hancock county. We extend
our congratulations to him and to his
fine old weekly newspaper.
