LIKE GABRIEL'S PITIFUL
SEARCH FOR EVANGELINE.
Missionary Finds Wife After Three
Year Hunt In WiIds Of China.

After wandering for three years
through the widest parts of central
China in search of his wife and child.
DR.. George Hadden, a missionary from
Ireland. tells the story of his adven-
cures. The wife and baby were found
in Hongkong.
In his hunt he covered 10000 miles,
traversed Human province to the Dor
der Of Tibet, was pelted with clods by
1000 semibarbaroug Chinese at Kpei-
yangchow and had many thrilling es-
capes from death.
The Haddens were stationed at the
mission Of Yungchowfu, where DR..
MADDEN was a missionary for seven
years. They were separated in March,
1910. by the Shangsha riots on the
Yang river. tributary to the Yangtze
river. Mrs. Hadden was carried to
Hanghow. where her child was born
on St Patrick's day. DR.. Hadden was
carried up the river, losing knowledge
of his wife's whereabouts.
He wrote many letters, none Of
which brought him news Of his wife,
and, having no other method of travel,
he walked from place to place through
the, great Interior Of the country.
When making his way across the
plowed fields of Kueiyangchow the
half civilized natives regarded him as
a devil in flesh and blood and followed
him 1000 strong. He felt to run
would be to invite destruction. so he
walked calmly before the excited
horde. but he admitted he walked
rather fast
After three years of travel he finally
got back to his old station in Yung-
chowfu and there learned that his
wife was in Hongkong. where he join
ed her, and for the first time saw his
boy. who had been named Patrick by
Mrs. Hadden because he was born
March II. They went to Canton and
are now going to their home in Ire
land on leave of absence.

COSTS BUT LITTLE TO BUILD
Can Be Built Without Skilled Labor
Not Recommended In Humid Sec
tlons Where Water Comes
Near to Surface.

Pit silos are not advocated in humid
sections. Where the ground Is firm
and dry, pit silos will serve the pur-
pose as we'll as more expensive struc-
lures. They are durable, and the cost
Is small, and they can be built with
out much outside assistance.
In constructing pit silos, the COM
monty accepted rule of a depth equal
to twice the diameter is good one to
follow. If the silo Is too shallow, there
is too large surface exposed and the
pressure is not sufficient to pack the
silage close enough for the best re-
suits. 1t is not advisable to dig the
silo too deep because of the difficulty
of getting the silage out. In case a
large quantity of feed Is required, 1t
Ia better to dig two small silos.
Level the ground off before starting
to dig, as this makes it easier to keep
the walls perpendicular. A plumb line
or straight edge should be used fire.

CUT OUT THE MUD SINGING :

The followers and opponents of
the fruit marketing plans in use in
the Pacific Northwest as represented
by the Northwestern Fruit Exchange
and the North Pacific Distributors
continue agitating the marketing
question, and a great deal of not
only argument but plain mud sling
ing is still being INDUCED in. There
is no particular value here, in our
opinion, in going into the merits or
dement's of the various arguments
which at present seem to be ex
tremely voluminous in the Pacific
Northwestern publications in some
sections. California Fruit Grower
is of the opinion, as it always has
been, that the more or less CO
ordinate operation of several differ
ent marketing plans and agencies
and firms is to the advantage of all
concerned, and it is better that
there be several than that all hands
unite in one 50 far as the general
community is concerned. We do
not, however, see that there is any,
thing gained by a continual news
paper agitation of SANDER and Will
fication, and are of the opinion that
more harm than good is done there
by. The Pacific Northwest, how
ever, is comparatively new in the
fruit shipping game and must 90
through this phase of it, which Cal
ifornia did some years ago and sur
vived.-From an editorial in the
California Fruit Grower.

center Movement.
The federal bureau of education is
undertaking, with the aid of the Rus
sell Sage foundation, most extensive
investigation into the wider use of
schools. especially the social center

towns or cities of more than 1000 pop
ulation asking for complete record
of all after school uses for the build
ings during the months of February.
March and April These blanks when
filled out will be returned to the bu-
reau of education for use in compiling
the most complete report yet made on
the subject of the use of school build
ings.
The department Of education is a
strong advocate of the use of the
schools as social centers and for public
meetings and lectures. 1t hopes by
gathering the different plans followed
throughout the nation in making the
school buildings more useful each city
can get new ideas from the reports
that will be issued.

Essentials OF a Good Pit silo.
There are4Eertain points that must
be kept In mind when constructing q
pit silo:
/. The walls should be plastered
from thrSe-fourths to one inch thick.
2 The walls should be washed with
a cement coat to make them air and
water tight
8. The walls should be perpendicu

settle evenly.
4. A covering must be provided that
will keep out dirt.
s. II walls become dry before plas-
tering they should be sprinklsd lightly.
This helps the plaster to stick, and
keeps 1t from drying out too rapidly.

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
By FRANCES COWLEs. THE BEAL FAMILY

 paper syndicate)
 There were two English pioneers of the name Beal or Beale in this country from whom practically all the Americans of the name are descended. One of these was John Beale, who came from Hing ham, County Norfolk, England. He came to this country in the old ship Diligent. and arrived in Boston in 1888. In the old records he is described as shoemaker" who with his wife and five sons and three daughters and two servants came from old Hingham and settled In new Hing ha m." The names of the children who came with their parents are Martin, Mary, Sarah, John, Nathaniel, Jeremiah, Joshua and Caleb. Two others were born ir this ccuntry-Rebecca and Jacob.
 All these children but Rebecca married and so the Hingham family in America became numerous within a generation The other first settler of the name was William Beal, who was born in 1928. Lit tie Is known of him prior to 1852. when he was living in Marblehead, Mass William
