What is the crowd so excited
about? I see they are all crying out
something and pointing across the
harbor? They don't think anybody
murdered him, do they?'
"Oh, no, sir; they're just objecting
to our taking him away before the
old priest from the temple across the
water comes and takes look at
him. They're great at that sort of
thing but it would never do for us
to leave him there; thered be thou
sand or more Of them there in less
than a half an hours time, sir, and
it would block all the unloading IN
the port for the rest of the day. Be-
sides that, we're just a little afraid
of stir-up among the wharf coolies.
for this is the fifth case We've had
inside the week and that's quite un-
usual, sir" added the inspector, as
he bade the consul good-day and hur-
ried the ambulance along the water

jabbering away with all the lung
power at his disposal. He couldn't
understand a word Of what he said,
but he seemed to be repeating the
same words over and over again. He
took out his notebook and pencil and
made an attempt to jot them down.
They sounded like "Tow low WOW
chow shang" to him as nearly as he
could catch them. so TOW low WOW

book. and he determined to ask his
Interpreter just what they meant.

comic reply of the hall boy.

in the long blue gown of the Chinese
scholar, which he had adopted i'm
mediately on his return from his
school days in England.

spelled the words carefully out:
TOW low WOW chow shang. He re-
peated them over several times and
then said. May l ask where YOU
heard these and in what connection 2"
You can't catch them. then, right
offhand, can you? 1 am afraid my
chinese isn't very smooth as yet"
We'll, you see. sir, just very
slight difference in their sound to
your ear makes a very considerable
difference in their meaning. They may
mean number of things; for in
stance, II you heard them in a res
taurant, they would probably be,
Serve my meal upstairs; If you
heard them in the tailor shop they
might be. Cut my coat a little high

Good gracious" exclaimed the COL
onel. you don't mean to say you
can get all those different ideas just
out OF those few words"
THAT is one of the distinctive Pc
culiarities of the language, sir, and
1t is rather difficult to explain it to
Europeans, as they have no system of
tones to correspond to it. May / not
ask again. sir. just whom you heard
utter the words?"
"Why, certainly, 1t was one of NV
own coolies, down at the wharf
there"
We'll, II you will send for him,
sir, we can get at 1t in q moment"
1t took over an hour for the coolie
in question to saunter home again,
and when he appeared he was prompt
ly summoned into the office. After be-
ing assured that he was not to be
disciplined or punished in any way,
he relaxed and showed a willingness
to speak.
What were you calling out at the
wharf, with the rest Of them?" ask
ed the interpreter.
"Tao lao ngraocha siang." was the
instant reply. Mr.. Choo turned to the
consul and said, "The words are per-
fectly clear now. sir; they mean SIM

At the workers meeting OF the

decided to observe Christmas in a
way that will be of interest to the
whole community. and the communi.
ty is requested to cooperate.

announces its plan as follows:
"The plan is for white Christmas.
In the old legend white gifts were
brought to the loving. Christ teaches
that we give to him by giving to
others-those who are 10 need. In
our planning we have tried to place
before the community as recipients OF
such gifts those who are worthy and
have chosen the Children's Home
Finding society at Lewiston, and the
Old Peoples Home at Spokane. In
these two institutions there are those
who can be made happy at this time
through little effort OF ours and we
will likewise be made happy through
the privilege Of service.
"a program will be given at the
church on Christmas eve to (Which all
are ioyited. At this time our gifts
will be brought. Most people will
want to give money which is always
acceptable. But we are not limiting
our offerings in any way. Anything
that will make boy or girl or a
grandmother or grandfather happy
will be accepted and will be forward
ed to the one for whom 1t Is intended.
III anyone thinks of needy one in
our local community who might not
be remembered at this time, and
plans gift for such person. and so
designates 1t, the gift will reach the.
one for whom il Is Intended.
again we ask the whole commun-
itysto cooperate. Let us catch the
Christmas spirit and make ourselves
happy by making others happy"

annual.estimates, proposing appro-

activities of the government during

According to these figures it will

The greatest individual esti-
mates for expenditures, of course,
go to the army and the navy. The

NEW ORCHARD PLAN
Spraying Inspection Made
Rule For 1920.

Mobilization of Idaho agriculture
al agents to eradicate fruit pests
during 1890 was begun Wednesday
by Miles Cannon, commissioners Of
agriculture.
Production Of "cull" apples and
worm damaged fruit in the stale
will be prevented at once, the
commissioner declared. There are
to be no rcpetitions of the 1919
problem, when 500 carloads of
..culls" we're found in the state and
no market was available under
present laws for most OF them.
The plant industry executive will
receive daily reports from his
deputies throughout the state,
showing the conditions OF fruit,
trees, the movement of sap, the
swelling of buds and the physical
condition Of any pest operating in
the respective districts. All this
information will then be made
available for fruitgrowers 10 the
state. to show them the proper
times to spray, etc.
The department of agriculture
will then follow the fruit develop
ment in each district on large
map prepared for the purpose, thus
knowing at a glance the condition
of the fruit on any day in any
orchard, at any altitude.
The director Of farm markets
will receive from the director Of
| plant industry all the information
relative to the dates when each
district should be sprayed, the kind
of spray to be used, its strength, the
manner oftest. application, pressure
of spray machines, etc.
Agents oflboth bureaus will keep
an accurate record of the appear
ance CT pests, and Immediately
upon their appearance steps WILDE
taken to eradicate them. The state
will assume that all orchards must
be sprayed and its agents, instead
of inspecting orchards only, will
inspect the spraying operations.
1t will be the duty Of the director
of farm markets, in co operation
with the bureau of plant industry,
to organize crew of inspectors,
using commercial inspectors as fal
as practicable, of sufficient numbers
to effectively cover every frLil
District.
The farm markets head will also
make sure that sufficient supplies
: of spraying materials are availabl,
in the state and obtainable b.
every orchard owner. His inspec
tors will ascertain approximatel'
