END OF AN ARMED ROBBER
Condemned Men in China, on Way to
Execution, Are Permitted to Stop
at All Wine Shops.

One of the first sights which it was
my lot to gaze upon since coming here
was public exhibition of a man con-
victed of robbery under arms being led
forth to execution, a correspondent of
the North China Daily News writes
from Pakow. We were inside the house
when we heard the sound of the yard
long trumpets in the street and going
to the door beheld a procession pass
ing arrayed in the glory of old China,
with it's triangular shaped flags. and
honorific sign-boards together with a
touch here and there of Western
ideas.
There were probably 200 soldiers in
the parade and they carried modern
rifles and, minus the cue, looked pass
able if rather slovenly in their car
riage. Some officers rode horses and
were clad in semiforeign garments.
Our attention, however, was particu-
larly directed to the man who was to
die, who was coming along at the end
of the line. His cart, the ordinary long
goods cart, had stopped for a minute
or two before it came to where I was
standing and on inquiry found that it
had paused in fDnt of a wine shop,
it being the custom here that the con-
Wet should stop at any or all the wine
shops en- route to the execution ground
and drink all he wanted free of charge.
By the time the man in his cart passed
me he appeared to be indeed drunk
and was muttering incoherently as
man will Wh&n he is pretty deep in his
cups. He looked like any other SIM
pie countryman and one could not but
pity him in view Of the fact that he
was soon to be thrust unprepated into
the presence of the Eternal Judge.
The execution ground was the river
side and just outside the town. and the
business which took the crowd there
was soon dispatched, for although | did
not go to see the spectacle heard the
trumpets announcing the return Of the
troops about 20 minutes afterWard.
I am told by one who knows that the
body is not buried, but dragged into
the shade of a small clump of trees
near by and vultures and dogs soon
dispose of it.

Mr.. Ames' Address

At the beginning Of the school
year, at the River Falls Normal
the following remarks were made
by Mr.. Ames:
I know that old students in return
ing are disappointed in not finding
here their president and friend,
Mr.. Crabtree. Also that new students
are disappointed in not being privi-
legged to make the acquaintance of Mr..
Crabtree from whom most have had
such delightful letters. However, Mr..
Crabtree felt impelled to go into a
larger field Of effort and we could not
reasonably expect him to remain here
longer when this larger opportunity
presented itself. We are thankful for
the six years that he spent here. It
remains for US to go on with the work
he so successfully began. To continue
the growth and development Of the
school means earnest efforts on the
part of all students and faculty.
We want to make this big year
a pleasant year. We shall have our
triumphs and mayhap our defeats
both individually and as a school, but
let US always face the front and keep
smiling.
No doubt even our pleasures, this
year, will be tempered with an ele-
ment of seriousness. We cannot be
careless of the deep waters which
are going. You, many of you, have
brothers going out into the service
of our common country, Drawing the
dangers of war for our safety and
we'll being. Recreant, indeed, would
we be if we who stay at home fail in
our duty as it comes to us. | trust
that there is no one here who will
say that he is tired of hearing about
the war; Tired, indeed, are we all of
the war, but not tired of our duty to
the world and to our own people,
There is no place in America to-
day for Indifference. He who is not
for us is against us.
No man or woman in high place
or law should fail to stand clearly
and emphatically on the side of right
in the world struggle; should fail to
make his weight, be it much or little,
count on the side of right and human
| ity. To do less is to be unworthy the
privilege of American citizenship.
We must hang our heads in shame
for that great university, the regents
of which have placed ban on any
discussion in class room or in written
theme upon the issues of the great
war.
Let US as a school not fail to dc
our little part, fail not to do our duty
when the thousands are placing THEN
very lives upon its altar.

Right here the first Normal yell was
heard from the stand and this seemed
to- instill little more "pep" into the
team. Eau Claire tried a long pass
which Vezina intercepted then raced
IS yards for a touchdown. Finn
kicked goal. Normal Is, Eau Claire 6.
Eau Claire kicked to Vezina, who

seven yards through the line and an
other play brought first down. A fun

Normal brought the ball to the ten
ward line. Line bucks failed and the
visitors were forced to punt. Normal
took the ball down the field and the
ball was carried over by Vanderhof.
Finn missed goal. Score-Normal 10,
Eau Claire 6. End. of third quarter.
River Falls made it Is in the final
period. Allard kicked off and Eau
Claire fumbled on the 18-yard line.
Line plunges carried the ball within
striking distance and Oregon carried
it over. Again Finn missed goal.
Score-Normal 25, Eau Claire 6.
Normal kicked to Eau Claire who
opened up with series of end runs.
They were on the Normal's ten-yard
line when the whistle blew and the
game ended. Final score rs to 6 in
favor of River Falls.
Coach Hayward tried out several
men in the last quarter and it looks
as though there is much promising
material in the big squad Of men.

several attempts to grow alfalfa, but
without great success. George Wash
ington grew trial plats of alfalfa on
his Virginia farm, sand Thomas Jeffer-

however, proved unsatisfactory, since
they did not understand all of the re-

RABBIT SAUSAGE IS LATEST
Farmers Wives in Oklahoma Are I'D
vised to Turn Pest to
Good Use.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Jack rabbit
sausage will be new delicacy in Okla
holna as a result Of the war. In fact
q few farmers in the western part of
the state last winter found substi-
tute as palatable as the real article.
At meeting of farmers wives in
Kicka county, Mrs. Ida Gregory, coun-
ty woman agent, discussed the efficacy
Of canning soy beans. One woman sug-
gested that the beans were hard to
raise owing to the raids of rabbits.
This objection was quickly discounted
by another woman, who exclaimed:
"Keep the rabbits away until your
beans are foot high; then get shot
gun and let them come. Last year we
had jack rabbit sausage the season
through. By mixing a bit of pork the
sausage really is better than that made
entirely from pork"

to Peking, together with the missing
presidential seals, and is to have a

Youngstown.-Higber wages than
lever known before in the steel industry
are being paid workers in local steel
mills. Some workmen make as much
as $500 monthly. This is due to the
sliding scale of wages, based on the
selling prices of steel, for sheet and
tin plate workmen under the Anal
igamated association ruling.

wake of the declaration Of the Euro

get from $12 to SIS day. In some
cases, from S. to S6 daily is made by

:,.syAe Tyres answer the Tire Ques-
ton!

No more trouble from puncture5
and bioW-outs Which rob you Of hall
tie ENJOYMENT Of motoring. El!nl-
nate 80 Ter cent. OF all punctures.
Adds from 1000 to 5000 miles to the
life of a casing. Insyde Tyres save
their small cost in short time and
NAV he used over and over again IN
several castings, Insyde Tyres are
made of tough rubber and tough TAP
ric vulcanized over tire moulds.
Insvde Tyres relieve the outer cas-
ing of the air pressure load and at
the same time protect the inner tube.
A stone-bruise results in a bloW-ou.
and that is the end of the tire. In
svde TYRES prevent these bloW-outs
and make the tire casing wear-olt
instead of blowout.
A test made in Newberry with IN
svde Tyres exposed in an old casing
running in this condition over 6oo
miles without a puncture or blowout
show that Insyde Tyres are different
and better than any other article OF
a similar nature and will do the
work claimed for them.
Remember tires cost more tnan
gasoline. Insyde Tyres cut the COST
from 25 to so per cent. They in
crease tire mileage from so to 100

terest in trying to restore her health
so much so that it seemed she became
infatuated with him. He tried to wave
her aside, but in vain."
