LADIES TO GIVE
DANCE SATURDAY

Mrs. Carl Shcmidt, who is the
local mead of the Treasure and
Trinket fund, announced today that
she and her colleagues had decided
to hold a dance on Saturday, March
sth, at the Union Hall, in aid OF
the Treasure and Trinket fund.
This fund, instituted some time
ago with the approve of the war
office, is for the purpose of raising
funds with which such comforts as
are not usually provided by the
army, may be purchased for the
use of the boys of the army air
service. The name is derived from
The Nenana daily news. (Nenana, Alaska) 1918-1921, 1919-03-01

the fact that contributions to the
fund, in the way of gold and silver
trinkets, nuggets, etc. may be made.
The ladies in charge of the dance
wish also to state that the dance
will be preceded by an entertain
ment and that, in all probability,
Ruth St. Denis and her beautiful
troupe" will be seen in a new
dance. Several innovations are alsc
spoken of as part of the program
of the proposed entertainment, Of
which due announcement will be
made later.

Speaking of the possibilities for

land the field is unlimited The
Chinese people are highly cul-
tured, even the poor coolies, and
they desire only the best things.
China is rich in untold undeveloped
resources. Make it possible to de-
velop the resources of China and
the Chinese people will become the
greatest aggregation of purchasers
in the world"

back by means of blunderbusses,
spears, bags of stone and broad
swords. The enemies challenge one
another and at a given signal ride
full tilt on small, wiry ponies at
each other. 1t is seldom that both
combatants escape alive but the
survivor is required to feed and
clothe the family of his dead ad-
versary as long as they live and
this makes 'duels' rare. In many
respects these combats resemble the
tournament of the Middle Ages"
DR.. Beech said that while he be-
lieved he had penetrated farther
into this section of Western China
than any other white man he re-
GREETED that he had not gone still

ney beyond there were tribesmen
near Sungpan who are just like you
are. That is, natives who appeared
like Americans" Their dress, coz

course. he said, was characteristic

"How so many different types of
people located there is a problem
for the ethnologist, resumed DR..
Beech. Zone theory is that they
represent all the warning tribal ele-
ments that have come into the con-
tinent of Asia and driven by the
Mongols and Tartars, made their
last stand in the natural refuge be-
tween India, China and the northern
part of Asia.
Each tribe is independent of
the other, all speak patoiS Of
Thibetan and Turkestan, and their
religion seems to be animistic or
that of the Llams. The most num-
erous are the Lolos, which, again
are subdivided into smaller tribes.
Others are the Miaos, who are poly
androus or polygamous. These
people, | believe, are responsive TO
Christian influences and kind treat
ment and $50 missionaries would
bring to them the enlightenment
they so much need. Nothing has
ever been done for them by civiliz-
alton.
All of the natives are farmers or
herdsmen. The latter raise huge
numbers of goats, hundreds of
thousands of which can be seen
on the mountainsides Recently, or
since the Chinese have equipped
their army with modern rifles, the
Chinese have opened up trading with
the 'tu-ren' and now vast quantities
of raw wool and hides are being
exchanged. The Chinese, too. are
utilizing some of the valleys to
raise opium, but this is done with

Pig Crop AMAZINGLY Short.

"Audrain county is surprisingly
short on both good fat hogs and young
stock this year." remarked T. P. Noel,
the Missourian who carried away the
honors- for putting a new record on the
St Louis market Friday at $23.j5 for
hogs. Il never saw as few young hogs
in that section, Last year corn was
scarce and high and a good many Of
.hc stock hogs We're shipped out and
in conjunction with q poor crop of pigs
in this season due to the wet spring
and trouble in raising pigs, farmers
have their supply Of swine stripped
down about as low as it has been in
years. Present day prices will, how
ever, in my belief, be some incentive
! for them to start in again and restock
/ their pens. Corn is needing rain. It's
worth $2,02 at present, Most OF our
wheat sold at $40 this year, but tbe
crop was net nearly what many HN-
pected the early part Of the year We
have q good hay crop and from what
we understand most stockmen arc
planning to feed every pound Of it,
Live Stock Reporter.

THE present high prices have eaus-
ed no little comment and those who
ares imposed to know, in some instan-
ces, say they will continue unabated
while others with an equal "look in"
make charges and allegations. There
will come an adjustment of prices
sooner or later and we trust sooner.
With all the smoke regarding investi-
cations which are being published
there should be some fire Of results.
At present the unidentified party Sec
reted under the wood pile has kept
himself we'll out of the public eye.
The time may come soon when his
Bertillion measurements may be an
nounced to the public and a change
in present conditions follow. We say
may" 1t is impossible to offer any
more assured predictions along this
line than did the German staff in
/ 1918.

YOU should be giving serious con
sideration NOW regarding what you
are going to do financially and person
p.y toward the success Of the Hardin
college half million dollar drive. The
time is almost here when you will nave |
tie opportunity Of expressing in terms |
that count just what this institution
means to you. Hardin college Is one
of the greatest business assets Mex
leo and Audran county has. 1t Is
worth thousands Of dollars yearly as
an advertisement for this community
and surrounding territory. Vita
/ half million dollars to properly equip
if and strengthen it's endowment fund
it will contribute literally to the pur~
/, poseful women of the nation and they
were never needed more than today
when they are to take their place be-
side the man in directing the country's
policies in the future. Give literally
both of your funds and time is MAX
ing this drive success. With a
greater Hardin college you will have
every facility for the education Of
your daughters here at home that you
can find anywhere. If the sum is not
raised Hardin cllege will exist only
as struggling boarding school. To
compete with the schools of her class
TODAY a half million dollars is neces-
sary. Only a few years ago Hardin
drew girls from all sections of the
country because of her having the
largest endowment of any of these
schools and being better equipped.
Today this condition has changed
The present campaign means much TO
Mexico in its success and if it fails
the loss will be one that will be re-
I GREETED for generations. Mexico and

fullest effort both financially and ir
personal activity is required. Pre-
pare now to do your utmost to make

Twenty-cne American hospital

HALF-RATE FARES
clergymen Will Get This Rate on
Railroads

clergymen Will Get This Rate on
Railroads
Beginning with the New Year the
half rates of travel for clergymen
will he restored in the eastern pas
scnger division of the United States
railway service.
For several years past this privil-
egc has not been granted in the east
but has been retained west of Chica-
go, where the regular rates are high
CT and as many believe the miles are
shorter.
AS all the roads are under govern
mcnt control, the half-fare now will
apply to all roads, whereas formerly
roads like the New York Central with
4 two-cent rate, did not grant the
half rate.
A single ticket in the form of u
coupon book will be recognized by
all roads in the east. In the former
days Of reduced rates the clergymen
annually received card from each
road which when presented at the
station entitled him to a first class
ticket at half price.
Under the new system each clergy
man sends TO the clergy bureau in
| Now You. city an application blank
with a fec Of one dollar. In return
he receives a book of 100 coupons
resembling o bank check book, one
of which-s filled out each time a
] ticket is purchased. More than one
book may be obtained during the
year if necessary. The coupon is
/ detached by the train conductor and
kept with the ticket.
In giving out the new privileges
the bureau is more particular than
over before. The aim is to benefit
the pastors of churches in actual SER
vice and rot ordained who are en-
gagged in secular pursuits.
j Great care is taken to head of
/ book agents and canvassers and the
answers to questions must be very
specific and o. KID by the local sta

Relief Workers Freed From. Turkish
Prisons

The number of American relief
workers among the destitute and
starving peoples of the Near East has
been augmented by Americans who
were imprisoned during the war by
the Ottoman government, according
to a recent Associated Press report.
A cable received by the Committee
today also states that Americans
imprisoned during the war are now
at liberty and are actively engaged
in relief work for the Armenian and
Syrian Relief Fund" Among them
are William Nelson, former vice
consul at Tripoli, Syria; Charles Ar
thur Dana, Of the Presbyterian
Board of Foreign Missions, and Mr..
Levine. All of them were accused of
espionage by the former Turkish gov
eminent, the charge growing out of
the help the Americans gave to Ar
menian refugees"
Another recent cable states that
nearly all the American missions, ex-
cept those in Constantinople and
Smyrna, have been occupied by the
Turkish army, Notwithstanding that
all missions have been engaged in re-
lief work.
For the purpose of continuing its
relief work among the people Of the
Near East, the American Committee
for Armenian and Syrian Relief has
appealed to the American public to
subscribe s20,000,O00. A nationwide
campaign to raise this amount will be
waged during the week of Jan. 18th
to 10th.
