MENA BOY NOT LONESOME

 Americanizing Oriental Oil


 Special to The Star
 San Francisco, April Enroute to China where he will act as special representative of a large American oil concern in the distribution of pe- troleum products, Joseph Parish of Mena, sailed today on the China Mail Steamship Company's steamer Nan king. The voyage or the Nanking wifi not be lonesome one for the oil-ex- pert, because there were fourteen oth- CT Americans who are going to the Far East on similar mission.
 Simultaneous with the departure of the American oil men it was an- nounced that all of the American con- cerns operating in the Orient have ef- fected a program which will eliminate all foreigners holding positions as Oriental representatives of these con- cerns.
 This is in the nature of a war of reprisal against the British who dis charged the entire American person. nei of their business concerns shortly after the end of the war.
 Charles Crane, the newly appointed United States minister to China, who succeeds Paul Riensch, was also a passenger on the Ranking together with eight other diplomats.

school purposes. She thought the school
tax rebate should be extended from the
last of August to the last of September
when the five per cent rebate on county
taxes expires She ridiculed the present
capitation tax, saying only property
owners pay it. She contrasted almshouse,
prison and school grounds, remarkipg that
almshouse snd prison grounds are pretty
and school grounds Took like the old
Harry" She advocated substituting q
State school unit for the county unit.
Morris f. Ehsson of Mt. Pleasant favor
ed school consolidation. He suggested
getting good teachers and paying them
according to their knowledge.
