NATIONAL SONG OF CHINA
Country Has Awakened to the Need
Of Melody to Inspire
Patriotism.

After the rejection of eight national
anthems composed in China since the
revolution, that OF the Chinese minis
ter to Belgium, Wang Van Pao, which.
together with the song of the minister
Of agriculture, commerce and trade.
Chang Tsein, belongs to the latest
compositions, is likely to be accepted
by the Chinese government. Following
is a translation of the first three
stanzas.
China, the sublime mountains and
luxuriant plains attest thy greatness.
Country of wonders, through thy hoary
civilization thy emperors have sacri-
feed themselves in ceding the rule tn
the people.
The people have the supreme pow
er. . So has taught Confucius and
Mengtse. And already in the hoary
times of Yao and Suen it had thus
been announced to the people. The
people is composed of five tribes. The
unity of the five tribes is past dispute.
Then China is invincible.
Develop the wealth of the country,
improve agriculture, and make the
people happy. Education and culture
are the achievements of centuries. All
citizens are equal; for Confucius and
Mengtse have taught social equality"

Use of New Moods.

There has never been in this coun-
try enough appreciation of the posi-
bilities of good elm in cabinet work
and interior trim, says Hardwood Rec
ord. Elm has been extensively used
in the furniture, trade for many years,
but generally in the making of cheap
furniture, in which no effort is made
to finish it to bring out the native
beauty of the elm. Also, one now and
then finds it used in house trim. Right
now there should be a splendid oppor-
tunity to develop the use of good elm.
Popular taste is turning toward the
softer tones in brown and gray, and
here elm should enter readily. 1t has
10 distinctive figure, but it has a soft
color. Some gray elm when polished
and finished as it should be presents
a beautiful appearance, and the red
elm, properly finished should look
exceptionally fine.

WESTERN CANADA
SEEDING FINISHED
Wheat and Other Grains Have
Had an Excellent Start.

The seeding of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 7th
of April or about as early as in Illinois
and Iowa. Oats and barley followed.
Information is to hand that on first
of May all seeding was practically fin
ished. Farmers will now be busy at
their breaking, and the land for sum-
mer fallow will be entered upon. Some
who did not get their land prepared
last fall, will be later than the others,
but as the spring in Western Canada
has been very open they will be only
a few days later. At the time of
writing rain would be welcome, but
at seeding time, the ground contained
a splendid lot of moisture and the
lack of rain at the present time will
not be serious. The number of farm
ers who have gone into the raising of
cattle has been considerably in.
creased, and the preparation for ex-
tensive cultivated grass pastures is
in evidence everywhere. The cult
walton of fodder corn is being largely
entered upon in Manitoba there be-
ing upwards Of $4,000 acres in corn.
In Saskatchewan there will be a
large increase In the area planted, and
in Alberta many of the more progress
sive farmers are taking hold of it.
The yield varies according to the cul-
tivation it receives, and runs from
five to nine tons per acre. In some
portions of Manitoba where it has
been poor for some years, success has
been achieved in ripening and it is
expected that a variety will soon be
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
date give to Western Canada a fame
for the growing of a marketable corn
equal to that it has now for the
growth of smaller cereals.
A trip through Western Canada re-
veals field after field of alfalfa, the
growth of which in any portion OF
the country is now absolutely assured
When these facts r made known to
the farmers Of the corn and alfalfa
growing states, where their value as
wealth makers is SO we'll known, there
will be no hesitancy in taking advan.
tage of the splendid gift of 100 acres
of land made by the Government Of
the Dominion of Canada, where equal
opportunities are offered. Besides
these free grant lands, there are the
lands of some of the railway com
panies and large land companies, that
may be had at low prices and Oh
reasonable terms. During the month
of February a large number of in
quiries were received, asking for farm
lands.
An encouraging feature of the farm
land situation in Canada is the large
percentage of sales made to settlers
in the country who desire to increase
their holdings or to others who vii
take up farming in place Of differen'
occupations previously followed.-Ad

Largest Freight Locomotive.

The Matt H. Shay" the large
triple Mallet locomotive built by the
Baldwin Locomotive works for the
Erie railroad, recently made a trial
trip over the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road from Baltimore to Philadelphia.
The trainload consisted of SIS coal cars
carrying 4,012 tons of coal. The total
weight of the train, including the 10
connective, must have been about $500
tons.
The train left Baltimore at 6:10 in
the morning and reached Philadelphia
at 4:30 in the afternoon, taking ten
hours and twenty minutes for the
9S-mile trip. The engine weighs 423k
tons in working order, and it's draw
bar pull, working compound, is 60

Was HAPPY IN
HIS PRISON CELL
California Millionaire Says Term
Was "Most Useful in My
Career"
PRISON ANGEL
F. A. Hyde, Land Spectator, Recently
Released From Federal Prison,
Does Great Work Among His
Fellow convicts.

Atlanta, Ga.-When Frederick A.
Hyde, sixty-seven years old, million
aire land dealer and former president
of the board of education of San Fran
cisco, left the federal penitentiary
here, after serving 16 months, his first
statement was that those months had
been the most useful Of his whole life.
He added that he would return to his
home in California, where his wife,
daughter and three sons are waiting
for him, not afraid to look any man in
the face.
mot only have these Is months
been the most useful in my career"
said Hyde, "but this period has been
the happiest of my life, and have de-
rived more good from my work at the
prison than at any other time"
Sentence IL COMMITTED.
Hyde was imprisoned in December,
1918, after one of the most sensational
court battles in the history Of the
country. He was sentenced to serve
two years for alleged conspiracy in
land frauds, but the sentence was
committed by President Wilson.
At the p%enitentiary Hyde was
known among his fellow prisoners as
the "angel convict" because of his
work to better the conditions Of the
other prisoners, especially those who
we're poor. He was assigned to the
prison newspaper, Good Works, and
in the performance of his duties was
allowed to go to all parts Of the
prison and mingle with all the con-
victs.
From the first he took an interest
in their welfare. He found that base
ball and a few WORKOUT movie films
we're the only amusements in the
prison. He laid out plans for a COM
plete athletic field which, with money
furnished by himself, was constructed
by Hyde and his fellow prisoners.
Great Work in Prison.
Hyde's greatest work in the prison
was with the unfortunate men who
finished their terms but looked upon
freedom with no pleasure because

Why He Kept a Servant.

In the days when he was superin-
tendent Of the Portsmouth dockyard
In England, Lord Fisher, the present
admiral Of the British fleet, had the
seadog attitude toward the men; he
frequently tested them with all the
harshness of a whaling captain; they,
in turn. treated him with a half
friendly, half-hostile familiarity.
Several years after his Portsmouth
days Fisher visited one of his old as
sooiates Of the forecastle who was
then living on half-pay. He found the
old man comfortably settled in a cot
tage, attended by another %superannu-
ated seaman.
why do you have this other man
here?' asked the admiral.

Hi there At that l merely rolls

All Work Touether.

The present war, terrible as it is, is
said to have brought women of all
classes nearer together than anything
else could ever possibly have done in
Europe. In England the mistress and
maid each try to Guido the other in
bravely going ON with their work, for
getful of the sorrow that they may
only recently have suffered. In Lon
don there are plenty of social affairs,
but these are all for a serious purpose.
The teas" and "luncheons' are simply
for the sake of getting together to
decide what the next work shall be.
1t is probably the same in other coun-
tries at war.

BOY SAVES ENGINEER
Found Him Bound and Gagged by
Highwaymen Who Planned Exs
tensive Robberies.

! Park Ridge, N. frank English,
an altar boy, was on his way to early
mass when he noticed that the water
wheels of the electric power plant
here were still turning. Thinking this
unusual, he went inside and found the
night engineer, Edward Griesch,
bound and gagged.
Griesch said he had been visited by
three masked men, who told him to
shut down the plant and thus cut off
all electric lights In the town. They
also demanded that he direct them to
the houses of the wealthiest people
here, he said.
The engineer said he refused, and
that they attacked him, bound his
hands and feet, and thrust a gag into
his mouth, and made off with $500
which he had in HIS pocket. The au-
thorities r Investigating his story.

Jus across the Potomac river. The new drug plant farm is established on
IN properly OF John 1. Henderson, Jr, who has taken a scientific interest in
Tn matter and has turned over his land to those in charge for a long period
of years.
At the drug farm in Virginia about fortylfve acres of land ar being
planted with drug plants this year, and it is planned to very much increase
shs acreage ext year. Already enough selected beladonna plants for five
acres a been brought up under glass Big beds containing 100000 ginseng
cots have been set out in the woodlands. Other plants which ar being
grown include cannabis, larkspur, golden seal or hydrasts, japanese pepper
mint, senega, cochium and sprigeha.
Just at present, with a war raging in practically all of Europe. the supply
OF drug plants for usetn the United States has become precarious. In the
first place, the persons who have gathered these plants in the past arr either
at war or unable to gather the wild plants because of war. In the second
place, the fact that thousands of men are being wounded in the war each
month makes it necessary for the military authorities to take over a great
part of the drug supplies for their own use.

fast. During the day, the presidents secretary is kept informed as to what
is going on in the outside world by the newspaper correspondents who call
regularly at the White House. The White House also takes a large number
of representative newspapers, and these are carefully read by an employee
assigned to the job, who clips out everything relating to the president, the
White House. the administration, and politics in general. Each of these ar
tchs is pasted on q separate piece of paper, identified by the name Of the
publication and the date thereof and finally all the sheets are bound together
to constitute what Mr. Tumuty calls 1.-THE Yellow Journal" the name being
derived from the orangecolored paper on which the clippings are pasted.
Each issue Of the yellow Journal is about two inches thick.
When Mr.. Tumulty goes home at night he takes this mass of newspaper
clippings home with him, and no matter at what hour he may 60 to bed, he
never fails to look these clippings through before retiring. Anything he finds
therein which he believes is of sufficient Importance to call the attention of
the president is carefully marked. The next morning the president may find
on his desk one of these clippings with a note attached as follows:
Dear Governor; I think you ought to read this. TUMULTY"

BEING and Doing.

AS the mar is in the integrity of his
character, SO is his strength. Being
is everything. 1t conditions happi-
ness; it determines and measures
service. A mans happiness depends
upon what he is in himself. A mans
service to others is conditioned upon
what he is in himself. Being is basal
to doing. AS the speed of the cleo
trio a is determined by the energy
stored in the power house, as the
power of the piston rod is determined
by the push of accumulated steam,
So personal power is determined and
measured by character. This is SUI
preme power, a character filled with
the divine presence and radiant with
a divine holiness.

Her First

My little cousin was spending the
summer at the lake. One day she and
her mother and father had been out
in their motor boat, and when she was
getting out of the boat on the narrow
plank which ran through the center
of the boathouse she was warned to
be careful and not fall into the water.
Regardless of the warning, she slipped
and fell head first into the water,
which was considerably over her head.
She was rescued Immediately, and her
first words when she managed to get
her breath we're: did l make a big
splash?"-Exchange.

planned to her exactly how such claims were attended to. little thinking that
Marian had any intention of placing the matter before the authorities at
Washington. Marian said nothing, but she went to her little writing desk
and penned the following letter:
Dear Mr. Adiutant General:
When the big guns were fired last week it shook the house SO badly
that my Precious dolly fell onto the floor and was broken to Pieces. May I
ask the Government for another dolly She was not very big, but She was
my Pet and I loved her very much, Yours truly,
MARIAN COGGESIALL,
Seven years old"
The letter was received by the adjutant general and given the official
designation of document Nc. 1949121. The matter was referred to the quar-
termaster general for investigation. Then it went to the commanding general
of the eastern division of the army, Maj. Ger. William II. Barry, stationed
at New York Finally the matter reached Col George I. Bartlett, who com
manded the artillery division at Fort Williams.
Colonel Bartlett called Mrs. Coggeshan OF the telephone and told her Of
the official document Marhns mother was greatly surprised, for she knew
nothing Of her daughters action, and she assured the officer that Mr..
Coggeshan would relieve the government of Marians claim and buy the new
doll himself
there. But Marian had a perfect right to ask the government to replace
her doll, and If her mother had permitted it, her claim probably would have
been granted.
Her letter still is on file at the wal department here, and is regarded as
one of the most novel documents W received by the adjutant general

One Of Hyde's philanthropies in the
