CHINESE ARE DRILLED HERE
Refugees From Mexico, Given Asylum
at Columbus, N. NJ, Formed Into
Regiment by Army Officer.

A Chinese regiment is being drilled
in the United States which could an
swer a call to the colQrs at any time.
The regiment is composed of the Chi
nese refugees from Mexico who ac-
companied General Pershing's troops
out of the Southern republic. As the
exclusion act prohibited them from
being admitted to the United States,
they were given asylum at Columbus,
N. NJ, and are being fed by the Chi
nese relief society formed by the Chi
nese tongs of San Francisco.
AS these Chinese refugees have no
work to do they have been formed into
military companies by Major Parker
of the local military command, and
they are put through daily drills, using
sticks for guns. The Chinese have be-
come proficient in the manual of arms
and the more simple drills and make
presentable appearance while at
drill.

SAVE THE DOVES

We beg to call the attention Of hunt.
ers and Ianchmen to the fact proven
by the research of government authori-
ties that. the dove is q valuable aid to
the farmer and should be protected
rather than slaughtered. 1t is true that
the dove takes some grain during har.
vest, but 1t has been stated, and we
have yet to zee it disproved, that it is
mostly waste grain that is taken. That
is, the bird il seen in large numbers
in the fields after the grain is cut, and
and those killed will have grain in
their crops, but it is mostly waste
grain, taken from the ground and not
from the shock. Therefore, this bird
which is known to devour immense
quantities of weed seed, should be pro-
tected. With labor almost impossible
to be secured and high, whatever will
aid the farmer in his fight against
weeds, ETC., is decidedly well worth
while.

ious committees showed healthy con-
dition Of the church and Sunday school
during the past year, the work being
perhaps on firmer and more encour-
fore in the history of the local church.
Aside from the fact that some of the
faithful members have moved to other
places during the past year, thus de-
priving the church of their work and
influence, there is little to complain of.
The Indebtedness with which the
church has been struggling in the past
has been massed into one amount at a
low rate of interest and with the priv
ilege of easy payments in annual in
stallments.
At the close of the session the Of
ficial board showed their confidence in
the Rev. William Pepper and the good
work he has done during the past year
by voting unanimously to request his
assignment to this place as pastor for
the coming year. Mr.. Pepper has a
practical, common sense plan of Bring
ing the gospel to his hearers and ais
sympathetic and helpful service to the
sick, the suffering and the discouraged
have endeared him to his people until
they are glad to ask for his return to
the Glenwood charge.

Soldiers Of Garden Patch.

There will be times when the mod
est backyard gardener will smile over
his seemingly small contribution to-
ward meeting the country's needs. He
should keep In mind the contribution
which the individual soldier makes
which also Is small. But armies of
gardeners, like armies Of soldiers, can
do heroic deeds. There is no back
yard plot, even II It be no bigger than

MANY TROUBLED
WITH RHEUMATISM
THIS TIME YEAR.
One Man Says for Three Months He
Was Confined to Room With Aw-
full Pains In Back and Limbs.
Very Strong Iron Doses
Brought Quick Relief.

Il suffered from rheumatism for
two years, and for three months
was so bad off / was confined to my
room. The pain was fearful and |
tried everything l and my friends
could get but it looked like l was
done with business for the balance
of my life. 1t gripped me worse in
the small part of my back and in
my left leg, and at my age of 63
folks didn't believe anything could
do me much good, but | bought a
bottle of Acid Iron Mineral and the
change that came over me Was Won
derful," declared A B Williams, Of
Petersburg, Va.
Before | had finished the first
bottle | was getting better and the
iron seemed to drive the pain right
out of me. The second bottle of
AIM helped me still more and
now, since taking three bottles, |
am as we'll as | ever was and have
been completely relieved. The rheu-
matism is entirely gone and glad
ly recommend Acid Iron Mineral to
everybody, continued MrWilliams,
who like hundreds of other people
in this section, find damp weather
and uric acid in the blood a hard
enemy to fight once it has taken
hold of the system.
Acid Iron Mineral, natural iron)
is plain, everyday medicinal iron,
highly concentrated. 1t is sold by
most druggists in either six or
twelve ounce bottles under the trade
mark of the Ferrodine Chemical
Corp which guarantees its strength
and quality.
1t has a tendency TO assist the
appetite, digestion, and kidneys too.
Whole families use it this time Of
year with excellent results to the

water makes a dose. Directions

FOOLISH GAG RULE,

President Wilson has asserted that he does MOI
desire to gag the press and invites free criticism Of
the administration during the war.
Nor will the fact that the American press is
prohibited from freely discussing the problem
prevent the enemy getting all the information it
would otherwise obtain.
F. Lauriston Billiard recently wrote book on
war correspondents, and makes the following state
ment "No press censorship prevents military plans
nd secrets becoming known to the enemy. Spies and
secret agents march with every army and have their
ears at the keyhole of every cabinet and council Of
war;.
Both Eng land and France had severe press GEN.
sorships during the early days of the present war
but the war offices in both countries discovered that
this was mistaken policy, and abandoned IT,
