SQUABBLE OVER CITY WALLS
People of Canton, China, Divided Over
Question Which the Progrcssives
Have Put Forward.

There's tempest in teapot" and
a China teapot at that, over tile pro-
posal in Canton, China, to take down
the ancient city walls. "Shades of our
ancestors" say some of the Cantonese,
sit is a sacrilege. 1t is an evil plan
inspired by foreign devils. Never has
it been done. Never shall it be. If
our forefathers got along with city
walls SO should We"
Such feeling against removal of the
walls is expressed in the form of a
protest by some of the members Of the
Merchants guild to the civil governor
according to the Canton Times, which
is for the removal of the walls ION
account of the congestion of population
and of facilitating communications in
the city" and because public health
demands wider roads and more air for
the people,"
After admitting that the protest is
based on the grounds that demolition
of homes along the walls would deprive
hundreds of thousands of their liveli-
hood" the Times, with true Oriental in
difference as to the effect Of such treat
ment on said gentry, says: "If the
gentry think otherwise they should be
dumped into the river"

his costumes, where it was possible, as
well as about the quality of the stuffs

made. Hence the collection has GER

TELEpHoNE REGULATIONS UNPOPULAR.

Postmaster General Burleson's schedules
telephone rates has proved the most unpopular
measure ever attempted by the United States
government. And it is getting jolted good and
hard on all sides. Indiana is the latest state TO
declare the rates and tolls illegal and to announce
that it will regulate telephone rates and SER
vices regardless of Mr.. Burleson's orders
Strong protest was filed against Mr. Burle-
sons installation and moving charges, announced
in December, and several courts have declded
that they are illegal in that they take property
rights away from the telephone subscribers
through being, in effect, an unjustifled rental
increase The schedule was generally accepted
at that time, however, to avoid interference with
government war measure.
When the armistice was signed many requests
were made for removal of the irksome restrlc-
tions but they were ignored. Then came the re-
vision of toll rates, which was even more un-
popular than the former rulings.
1t is certain that the telephone companies
would never have been permitted to enforce the
rate increases which have followed government
control 1t may be true that Mr.. Burleson's pur-
pose was to so complicate the telephone situation
as to make return of the lines impossible But IT
it is true he has failed completely. Instead OF
strengthening the cause of government owner
ship Mr.. Burleson has succeeded in making fed
eral control most unpopular.
The American people will not willingly accept
inferior service at increased rates and the Demo-
cratic official who attempts that condition is
valuable ally of the Republicans in their at
tempt to destroy the Democratic party

MONEY IN HOGS.

Here is statement involving the raising Of
hogs, showing that hog raising during the last
fifteen months has been an unusually profitable
industry. In October, 1917, George Nave, a COM
mission merchant, purchased a sow and litter of
three pigs, paying $33 for the entire lot. At the
same time he bought drove of twenty gifts,
paying $33 head for them. The hogs were
shipped to Mr.. Nave's farm near Newcastle, Ind.
In March, 1918, this sow narrowed eight pigs
her two filters of pigs. The sow weighed 600
pounds and sold at the top pr for stock of that
description The first litter of three pigs weigh
ed, all told, 115o pounds and the second litter of
eight pigs averaged in weight $50 pounds
The entire lot Melted Mr. Knave, after all mar
keting expenses had been paid, the sum of $795.
He still owns the twenty gifts, which are expect
ed to farrow next month, an 1 the money he re-
celved In payment for the cow and her two lit
tiers exceeded the total purchase price of the gifts
by s135.10.
Thus it can be seen that on an original invest
ment OF S33 the sum of $795.1O was realized in
less than seventeen months, while the second
purchase bids fair to exceed the first by great
margin.
The above was accomplished in ssthe frozen
North" where conditions for hog raising cannot
compare with those in West Florida Had Mr.
Nave conducted his little venture here his profits
would have been even greater. The West Florida
farmer who fails to raise hogs is overlooking a
big opportunity

PHYSICAL TRAINING IN SCHOOLS.

quickened appreciation in all nations of the
value of physical education has resulted from the
war according to DIR. P. P. Claxton, Commissioner
of the Bureau of Education, and has been evil
denced in this country by the enactment of laws
in eight states requiring physical training in the
public schools.
Illinois was the first of the American states to
require physical training by statue, passing the
law in June, 1915. Since that time New York.
New Jersey, Nevada Rhode Island, California,
Maryland and Delaware have enacted similar
laws and six other states, Massachusetts,, Con-
necticut, Pennsylvania Nebraska, Ohio and Colo
RADIO, have given legislative attention to the sub
ject, but have not acted.
In most states which have considered physical
education lie initial impulse to action inter
est in military preparedness and took the form of
bills for military training of high school boys.
Investigation resulted in convincing the legisla-
tors, the Bulletin says, that military training fo1
/ youths less valuable measure OF
preparedness than a solid system of physical
| training. With the exception of Nevada, where
the law applies to high schools only, the laws
apply to all school children and the time require
ment ranges from one hour each school week tx
two hours and half.
There can be question as to the advantage
which must accrue from intelligently directed
1 physical training. It makes for more vigorous
and healthy nation and the time is not far dis
tant when physical training will have place il
the of instruction of every school in tn
| country.
