QUEER CUSTOMS IN BORNEO
Norwegian Explorer Writes of Some
of His Experiences in
That Island.

Quaint customs in darkest Borneo
are described by DR.. Carl Lumholtz,
Norwegian traveller. Doctor Lumholtz
says, in part:
We met six natives who had been
hunting the rhinOcerOS in the west.
The horn of the animal when pow
dered is in great demand by the Chi
nese as a medicine, and fetches a high
price. Such an expedition may last for
two months. The hunters carry no pro-
visions, and live on sage and what
animals they can kill. When there is
scarcity of food they frequently go
three or four days merely on water,
and stay the pangs of hunger with
tobacco. | was told that a man would
tackle a rhinoceros with a spear
single-handed,- though the beast is
very difficult ito kill.
One day we were surprised by the
arrival of a 'Saputan chief with two
companions in boat They brought
with them a dog, blowpipe for darts,
and a recently killed pig.
Not far from the Muller mountains
we camped upon the Upper Kasao
river, which is inhabited by Saputans.
They are a crude, friendly people,
who, hundred years ago, were mere
cave-dwellers in the mountains to the
east.
AT Saputan had the good fortune
to take a cinematograph picture of the
ceremony of the piercing of a chiefs
ears. 1t is their privilege to wear a
tigers tooth inserted in a hole in the
upper part of each ear.
The chief was seated and a board
was placed behind his head. Friends
and supporters assisted in the opera
ton, which consisted of an empty rifle
cartridge being forced through his ear.
Blood streamed down, and the man,
apparently of a very robust type,
seemed to be near fainting. A medi-
cine man was hurriedly summoned,
and he clapped his hands over the ears
and then, opening them, produced
small stone. This he threw into the
river.
was told that this stone was the
| supposed cause of the chiefs Illness.
The scene was brought to a dramatic
conclusion by the exhausted chief be-
ing ANONYMOUSLY carried away on the
back of young man. During the aft
ernoon more pebbles were produced by
the same sleight of hand, and pig
was killed in order to appease the bad
spirit which had caused the chiefs i'll
ness.
The Dyaks of the Upper Mahakkan
are friendly to strangers, and as the
great rapids down the river form a
natural barrier they seldom receive
visitors, and are little changed by out
side influence The Mohammedan Ma
LAYS, for instance, have never been
able to extend their influence above
the rapids.
Luckily for the Dyaks, and incident
ally for ethnology, these natives pos
sess a fine muscular development. The
women are we'll formed and move with
grace and freedom. The headhunting
part of the native religion has been
practically suppressed by Dutch infiu-
enee. and so far as / could ascertain
the last case of the kind in this region
was at least five years ago.

~. c. L. Also Hits Greece; Chickens
SIS Apiece and Flour $3.50 Pound

People in Greece are paying $1o
for chicken and fifty cents for one
egg, according to Peter Paros, father
of Jim Paros, proprietor of the Chop
House, who recently arrived from
Greece.
He is rs years old and has never
been out of Greece before. The white
bread he saw in New York restau-
rant was curiosity, he said. The
people in Greece have not had any
bread made from -four with wheat
in it for more than three years. The
-four is made of a combination of
beans and peas ground together. They
pay one dollar for a pound and one
half of this bread. Prices are very
high on food stuffs, and it is almost
an impossibility to get meat.
This is the country to live in,' said
the Greek The prices here are
nothing"
The Greeks are in full accord with
the allies, Mr.. Paros said, and rejoice
at the news of every allied gain. There
are at the present time 100000 Greeks
in action. Mr.. Paros has several
nephews fighting with the Greek
force in France.
The trip from Greece to America
required five months. He was delay
ed two months in Italy, month in

WORK OF BURBANK
WILL Be DESCRIBED
AT The GHAUTAUQuA

| For more than two hundred years
! the virgin fields of America have fed
the world with plenty as population
slowly increased, but for more thar
! two decades the population has been
| increasing faster than the supply OF
| food. There are no more contlnents
| to discover, no more fields untitled
and with the war cloud that has en-
| shrouded the earth, starvation may mol
| be far ahead and peace will not van
quish it.
| DIR. Henry A. Adrian's answer Is
complete and convincing and as VINO
as eloquence can make 1t. The Worlo
! he reveals is new world and explora
| ton with him a surprise and delight
So great a stir did his lecture make
out west that the legislature of Cali
| fornia in regular session adjourned &c
hear him and spent a whole day dis
cussing it.
DR. Adrian is a close personal friend
| of Luther Burbank, the Plant WIZARD
and hos been associated with him IN
his work. He keeps in close touch
! with Br. Burbank and with the new
development Mr.. Burbank is constant
ly making. Mr. Burbank has constant
| ly refused to go upon the platform and
| tell of his own work, but realizing the
great interest manifested by the pub
lie, and the crisis in the world due to
shortage of food, reluctantly con
scented to have DR.. Adrian present his
! work from the platform.
DR.. Adrian is we'll qualified for this
task. He is first and foremost a
scholar and educator. He Is gifted as
few men are, with the skill of nara
tive and power of eloquence. He tells
the simple, yet thrilling story OF the
wonder worker of the plant world
with an actors skill and an orators
power. If DR.. Adrian were lecturing
upon an ordinary subject he would
still be one of rhe most interesting
lecturers on the platform. Not long
since one of the best known lyceum
and chautauqua bureau men said OF
him: IF q chautauqua committee
asked me to recommend the best hum
orous lecturer l know Of, l would rec,
ommend Adrian. If they wanted the
most interesting lecturer, l would tell
them to get Adrian. If they wanted
the best scientific lecturer, the best
sermon, the most popular lecture,
wouldn't tell them to get three differ
ent men-I would tell them to get
Adrian"
His subject is of paramount import
ance at the present time-'New Ways
of Feeding the World" and his lecture
becomes an event of unusual interest
DR.. Adrian will appear at the Chau.
tauqua Monday afternoon, Aug. 20
also Tuesday evening, Aug. 81. When
he appeared here few years ago he
| was considered one of the best and
most interesting of the entire assem-
| bly,. All who heard him then will
want to hear him again and with the
new discoveries made by himself and
Mr.. Burbank his lectures will be of
vital interest.

Woman's Section County Council Of Defense

Our supply of nurses must be kept
up. Our sick and wounded soldiers
should always have the care of most
thoroughly trained nurses. In order to
meet this situation which is arising,
the women of the country must pre-
pare themselves for war service and
community service of the highest type
by enrolling in the Student Nurse Re-
serve. Wayne county must send her
quota. Women with good education,
that is, high school or college, should
feel it their duty to enlist in this SER
vice at the Red Cross headquarters.
One of the unique features of Indi-
anas war activities is the organiza-
ton of U. S. Food clubs by the Indi-
ana Division of the U. s. Food Admin
istration. Through these clubs the
Food Administration will be able to
emphasize more clearly the vital re-
lationship between food and war
Every home in the state will be en-
rolled when the work is finished Moth
ing less than a determination to rem
der the greatest possible contribution
to the nations war needs would have
prompted such gigantic task. The
Food Administration for Indiana, how
ever, shares the true Hoosier belief in
thoroughness and knows that Indiana
will point with pride to the loyalty
with which her citizens fought the
great food battle
The work Of organizing the U. S.
Food clubs began last spring and so
far has resulted in the formation of
about fifteen hundred clubs This
means that the work is about-one-third
done. The beginning of such move
ment is naturally slow as it means the
development of an entirely new idea
The Food clubs have secured a foot
ing of some sort in all but four coun-
ties. The way has been prepared
From now on the Food Administration
expects more rapid progress in finish
ing up the actual work of organization
When the clubs are formed their use
fulness will continue for some years
after the war is over.
Plans are under way for a great
Food Club Drive to complete the or
ganization of the clubs by the end of
September. 1t is advisable that this
work be done before the next Liberty
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-08-15

Loan drive commences. The county
and township presidents of U. S. Food
clubs are endeavoring to complete the
organization in their respective terri
tories by the prescribed date. When
the work is finished Indiana will have
a gigantic machine which will guar
antee the highest degree of co-opera-
ton between the Hoosier citizens and
Uncle Sam in safeguarding our food
supplies for the sake of those who are
endeavoring to stamp out forever the
Prussian menace.
Every resident of Indiana should be
interested in the U. S. Food clubs and
ready to help. They can contribute to
the success of this war movement by
getting in touch with their country or
township president and preparing the
way for a new club. All information
regarding the clubs and the names of
the leaders in the various communities
can be secured by writing to the Food
Club Division, u. S. Food AdminiStra'
ton for Indiana, indianapolis.

Dear Mrs. thompson am train

have not been able to go to France
and have had to content myself with
work here In the hospital. Eight years
ago when l started nursing | had a
young man for a patient who fell in
love with me, or pretended to. When
he was sick he talked about marrying
me when he was we'll again, and with
such promises he made me kiss him
often.
After he did not need my services
any longer he came to see me just
three times and then l got a letter
from him saying that he had gone to
another town to work and promised
to send his address as soon as he had
permanent one. | never heard from
( him and | was too proud to ask his
= parents for it, They did not seem to
like me and | knew they would not
have wished to have me marry him
because | was a working girl.
It took me several years to get over
my love or this boy and until this day
| have never loved another man. Sew
eral weeks ago n young girl who was
one of my patients invited me to go
to a nearby town with her to dancing
party. l still enjoy dancing. While
there | met this man again. He told
me that he had married and divorced
since | had seen him last and that
he had never been able to forget
me- The reason he did not write was
because his mother made him promise
he would give me up for her sake.
He begged to see me again but would
lot let him come. Recently l received
4 long letter from him begging to see
ne again. He says he has never loved
lnyone else and asks me to forgive
him for the mistake he made when
he was a boy What do you think |
