TRAVELETTE-By NikSah
THE MING TOMBS

Like the Egyptian pharaohs, the emperors
of the old Ming dynasty of China made sure
that their tombs would be satisfa Glory by
building them in advance of the coming of
the grim reaper These tombs, now nearly
thousand years old. are one of the great sights
of China.
1t is quite journey from Pekin to the
Ming tombs. First there is a railway trip to
Nankow, then ioltihg, interminable expert
ence on a donkey through rice fields and vii
lagos to the valley of the kingdom.
The first sign of honor to royalty is a big
tumble down stone gateway Carved in an as,
sortment of twisted snakes and dragons. Six
miles from here are the tombs themselves.
But between entrance and graves is a
stranger line of sentinels than ever before
guarded collection of the remains of kings.
All down the paved avenue a block apart,
are pairs of stone animals and people lined up
in grave attitudes of attention. Here is
pair of twin elephants, one kneeling stiffly on
each side of the way and little farther on
there are two gawky camels. and then horses,
and lions. They are all very like the merry
go-round animals on which the children ride
at the beach, or an implanted Noah's Ark COL
lection rather more grotesque as to expression
than the calm little wooden animals of the
toy shops.
Here and there you come upon stone
warrior or a mandarin with hands folded in
his sleeves standing unafraid between tiger
and rhinocerous. Some of these stone fig
ures weigh several tons and all were brought
from quarries hundred miles away. y
At the end of this solemn congregation are
The moss grown, but still impressive, royal
r..>a. surrounded by many yellow porcelain
Chi oh in Of itc In
it's own Chinese way the Ming cemetery with
it's effect of magnificent distances" and its
strange court of honor is as remarkable as
the gray old pyramids of Egypt.

The Ne7O Belgium.

THE unconquerable little kingdom
which was fighting so valiantly five
summers ago to stay the tide of Ger
man invasion begins now to reap the
reward of the faithful Fields which but re-
Gently were gashed and scared are growing
fat with grain and food-producing animals. -
The phrase quoted is from a correspondent
who lately travelled through King Albert S
land, and who adds FAll the Belgian ports
show evidences of Amrican generosity, while
the inland towns are well stocked with Amer
lean canned goods and clothing. Within the
next six months, according to present indica-
lions, Belgium will be able to supply other
countries with food, especially with fish,
which forms a considerable portion of the
peoples diet"
Through the seasonable aid thus given,
the martyrs of Louvaine and their country
men were enabled to begin without delay
the laborious task of rehabilitating their
agriculture and other wrecked sources of
production. What better evidence could be
wished of the wisdom of going heartily to
the assistance of our War-broken friends
across the sea? In helping them we have
helped civilization at one of the most crucial
junctures it ever faced, and have made the
whole world less anxious concerning the fu-
ture. The reconstructed Belgium will be in
deed a tower of strength and assurance in
troubled Europe.
But our keenest satisfaction is for the Bel
gans themselves, when we read that lands
which were deluged by the opening of the
sluice gates soon after the war began are
now ready for cultivation" that in the User
valley corps are springing up as if by magic,
and that German prisoners are working
along the old line of battle. winding up the
barbed wire, clearing away debris and max
ing the country habitable' SO does time
bring in it's justice and it's healing.

steak at fifteen cents, with onions, twenty

method of land-clearing. Commenting on the
service which the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, the Dupont de NemOurs Powder
Company and the International Harvester
Company are rendering in thus bringing the
possibilities of the method wildly to the pub
lies attention, Judge Meldrim said that the
first question asked by intelligent farm
seeker is, "Is the place healthful?, and the
second, us the land stumped?" Georgia. he
went on to point out, "by reason OF its va
riety of soil, climate and production, offers
large induCement to tillerS of the soil; but to
secure these tillers in the first instance, and
afterwards to make them happy, prosperous
and contented, it is absolutely necessary that
conditions favorable to health shall exist and
that cultivation shall be made possible and
profitable By means Of explosives proper
ly employed these results can be accomplish
ed with speed and an economy never dream
ed of in years gone by. Malarial marshes can
be cleared and acres upon acres OF stumpy soil
made arabic in short order and at low cost.
What this means in the way of pOSsibili
ties to the agriculture and general upDuild-
ing OF the South is more easily imagined than
described. The demonstration to which the
Governors have been invited will show by con-
crete instances just what can be done, and
from these it will be easy to figure to wider
conclusions. Hundreds Of thousands of acres
of land which ordinarily might remain I'M
productive for decades, by this process can
be converted into disable farm sites at an
outlay which the owners can afford And
this, Of course, spells progress and prosper
ity. The movement for larger utilization of
such methods for the common good is we'll
worthy Of the Governors earnest interest and
aid
