CHINA SAM WAS
OREGON PIONEER

Jesus Christ and the Stars and
Stripes, the two best things in the
world"
This is the unqualified statement
of China Sam, for so years a resident
of Roseburg, well known, respected
and esteemed as a friend by many of
the most prominent people of the
city and county, says the Roseburg
Review.
China Sam was born in Canton,
China, and is 81 years of age. His
grandfather and his father were
preachers of Confucianism, the an
cient Chinese religion based on an
cestor worship, yet including many
of the principles of morality and the
cardinal virtues. Instead of having
the law and prophets" as School
master" preceding the gospel of
Jesus, China Sam had several gener-
ations OF Confucianism. When Sam
heard the Christian gospel preached
by a missionary he discarded the re-
ligion Of his fathers and incorporated
into his life the faith in the living
God. He is a member OF the NJ. E.

STORIES SHOULD BE
GIVEN NO CREDENCE

Stories of broken glass having been
found in yarn and gauze have come
to us occasionally. In one instance
upon investigation it was found that
one of the women had unknowingly
broken the crystal of her wrist watch
while making surgical dressings.
Recently another chapter reported
finding broken glass in a case of
yarn. A survey of the packing box
developed the fact that it was mark
ed lamp chimneys." The chapter
decided to use 80 per cent common
sense and gave out the yarn decid-
ing that the box had. not been thor
oughly cleaned before shipment was
made.
A little investigation of this kind
will often save lot of useless
worry.

In SERVICE TO
PACIFIC COAST
New Schedules Will Save
IL, 728, 600 Train Miles
Yearly
tBy Associated Press.)

Washington. May 13. - Director
General McAdoo today ordered cur
tailment OF trans continental pas
senger schedules from Chicago west,
effective June Q, to save 11,728,0 900
train Males a year, by eliminating
competition and cutting down run
ming schedules. -
The curtatlment, with reductions
previously made, is expected to re-
suit in a saving OF about S1S,O00,0 900
a year. Under the new arrangement
the Santa F'e will be the principal
road carrying passenger traffic from
Chicago to Los Angeles, the Chicago
and Northwestern, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific to San Francisco;
the Burlington and Northern Pacific
to Portland, Ore, and the Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul to Seattle,
Fast trains will make the trip to
all four Pacific coast terminals in 70
hours and secondary trains in 70
hours. Extra fares now charged on a
few fast trains will be eliminated.
Mail schedules will be rearranged
to establish parity for all the term
inals and intermediary commercial
centers so that the new plan will
not discriminate against any city.
The reductions are to be effected
mainly by taking Off o number of To-
eral trains and adding their traffic
to the through trains whose length
and running schedules consequently
will be Increased.
The public will be adequately Berv-
ed under the new arrangement, said
q railroad administration announce
ment, but probably more upper
berths will be sold.
A similar curtailment is now being
worked out for southwestern terri
tory. About 100000 train miles al
ready have been saved in the east
ern district.
