PRACTICALLY ON CASH BASIS
: iSte Real Credit Business Is Done
by Foreign Firm Operating
in China.

When a foreign firm, opens up In
China one of its first cares is to select
a compradore, writes "Americus" in
Asia magazine. This individual is
usually a wealthy merchant Of the
town with considerable property. He
becomes, not an employee. but kind
of associate Of the foreign business
man, and while keeping up in many
cases his own Independent commercial
ventures, he establishes an Office con-
nectlon with the firms offices, where
he acts as intermediary for all trans
actions with Chinese customers. no
Chinese order is booked without his
approval, for he takes the place of our
"credit man" and knows who can he
trusted and to what extent. But he
differs from the credit man In that
he, in return for commission on the
transaction, assumes full responsibility
for It and pays up himself If the
customer defaults Being a man of
property he can do this, and TO make
assurance doubly sure the foreigner
usually requires him to deposit secur-
ity in the form of title deeds to land
or even cash in some cases. When the
goods are finally delivered it is not
usual 10 give long credits. In one Of the
principal parts of China payments are
usually made at once through what
are called native bank orders, !. e.,
checks dated five or ten days ahead
and certified by some Chinese bank.
In other words very little real credit
business is done, according to our idea
of that term, and it is consequently
not surprising that there are so few
losses.

Many plows, even those that have
been well covered with oil or axle
grease, fail TO scour readily when first
taken into the field. The following
method is being used by many farmers
to overcome the inconvenience attend
ing the use of a pillow that fails to clean
off quickly The pillow is taken to the
nearby branch or creek and drawn a
few times through the sand or gravel
beds that invariably are found along
water courses. 1t usually takes but a
few turns to cut off the rust or hard
ened grease Under no circumstances
does the sand stick to the pillow, no
matter how rusty II may be; and II the
gravel does not contain large stones
the pillow will not be dulled.

ROMAN HOMES IN ENGLAND
Researches Of Antiquarians Have
Brought to Light Many Things
of Historical Interest

A side road leads to the left from
the Fosse Way of ancient memory,
and winds along a valley beside the
early wanderings of the Colne, In the
English Coiswold country a writer In
the Christian Science Monitor says.
The car, chugging Its way up the
road comes to rest at last beneath the
trees which crowd around the Roman
villa, at Chedworth, and a patchwork
carpet of sun and shadow invites to
idle lettering In The warmth of spring
day. But suddenly one is ushered into
the twilight of the Roman occupation.
TO gaze on fragments Of mosaic floor
ing and scattered pillars and bricks
and stones, all that remains Of the
prosperous home Of some rich Roman
who settled here in the dawn of Eng
fish history.
The beautiful coloring and design
Of he mosaic floors are not more
striking than the followed bricks, and
furnaces which tell of wonderful heat
Ing arrangements, of greater efficiency
than that of which most modern Eng
lish homes can boast.
Here, beside the villa, laundries and
baths would appear to have been a
small smelling establishment, which
must have once made the place little
hive OF industry amid the wild sur
roundings Of Britain.
All this lay undiscovered through
the centuries till men came and IN
earthed It from the dust and debris
and fallen leaves Of well-nish two
thousand years.

DROP THE TERM "WOODLOT"
Government Authorities Favor the
Word Woodland" When Used in
Reference TO Farm Forestry.

The increased interest In private
forestry, particularly with reference
to farm forestry has brought about
the general acceptance of the term
woodland" or woods" instead of the
original one Of "woodlot," according
to the forest service.
A large proportion of the woodland
in the eastern United States is In ir-
regularly shaped tracts, spreading out
over ridges, ravines, slopes, swamps,
carries the Idea OF a small-sized reg
ularly shaped, and, in a large section
of the country, fenced tract. When
applied to the large or irregularly
shaped tracts, it is obvious that the
word inadeQuately describes the con-
ditions. ''Woodlot" probably origin
ated in New England and seems fairly
well established there. SO long as on
ly conditions like those in New Eng
land were considered, "woodlot" was
accepted as adequate, but In the last
few years farm forestry has been de
veloping rapidly throughout the coun-
try.
woodland" and woods" are more
satisfactory, more expressive, and
avoid the possibility Of creating con-
fusion in the minds Of the people over
most sections of the country where the
word ''woodlots" has never been in To-
cal use.
