the peoples who will receive this
Offering of corn from American farms,
and to suggest that the injunction:
freely We have received; freely give"
applies in temporal matters as we'll as
to the spiritual gifts and graces, feel
ing that our farm readers in Wayne
and all adjoining counties. are already
preparing to respond literally to the
cry for succor.
Who is Thy Neishbor?
Prof. Alpheus ]. Sampson, a native
of India, accepted the Car of gift corn
for China at Centerville. Mr.. Samp-
son comes from Ballia, India, where
his father is engaged in industrial
mission work. In his remarks he
stated that the peoples living across
the waters are literally our neighbors.
During his ten-minute talk he said:
They are related TO US from the
standpoint of geographical position of
the earth. When the sun shines upon
America, the moon sheds her beams
| upon China. They are our nefghbors
from the standpoint of commerce, and
today the people of China and India
drive American made automobiles,
| wear English made clothes and eat
American foods. They are our neigh
| bors from the viewpoint Of COM
munication. Through cablegram we
can learn the conditions of those coun-
tries within two hours time. But there
! is greater sense Of neighborship than
these and it is the human sentiment
and tendency. the soul Of mankind
that has been created by the same
Creator. Max Mueller said that the
greatest discovery Of the nineteenth
century was that our forefathers did
not only speak the same language but
they also worshiped one God. l have
no respect for man who has no
sentiment; whose heart can not be
moved by the infirmities Of humanity !:
whose sympathetic nature is dormant.
The mother in China loves her baby
like the mother in America and the
man there worships his idols like the
devout church member of this country
I am thankful that the ideals of this
country are based upon the great prin
ciples of ethics preached by the great
est master of mankind-Jesus Christ
He did not only supply the Waters OF
Life freely, but also fed the hungry
and healed the sick. Our civilization
is founded upon Christian principles
During the famine in India, you Sent
US grain and saved lives of millions OF
children from starvation through your
gifts and generosity.
at is a great privilege to be Of some
service to your land for the many
benefits that you have bestowed upon
us and feel sure that we appreciate
your gifts and sympathies and India
has already shown her appreciation by
sacrificing five hundred thousand sol
diers for the sake of the great
principle that involved the United
States in the great war"
Professor Sampson explained thai
the fact that the United States entered
the war. was helpful to the recruiting
of the natives in India, because they
had a lively recollection of what this
country had done for India in times Of
famine and distress. His people be
lieved that any cause espoused by Sc
great nation was also a cause worthy
fighting for

Gift Corn, Fertilizer
Occupy States Farmers

L. E. Hoffman, assistant state coun-
ty agent leader, visited the Wayne
county agricultural agent, j. L. Dolan,
Thursday, to discuss the work in this
county and make plans for the cooper
alton of the state university in county
projects wherever possible: He re-
ports that fertilizer purchase and the
gift corn contributions for foreign ia
mine relief are occupying attention of
all county organizations at this time.
Greenfield, from which he had Just
come, loaded out a car of gift corn
Wednesday, and had another to go
soon. Several cars will be sent from
that county.

himself in readiness for actual con-
fiict during the Spanish American
War and was detailed with a COM
pany of Marines who were on a war

The widow claimed that she was
entitled to a pension under the act

tions, and official approval is ex-
pected within the next few days.
The rules were drawn up several
Gays ago, but were never published
In their entirety. The police de-
psaement from time to time has
-iished traffic regulations in the
.or7n of extracts from the general
police regulations, but never as a
setdrate and distinct body of rules
for the conduct Of vehicles on the
streets.
Last week Maj. Gesstord sug-
gested that the rules be revived and
made to conform with present con-
ditions. Capt A. J. Headley and
Lieut.. W. S. Shelby, of the trafic
bureau, and Inspector w. H. Har-
rison brought up to date the regula-
tiOns and submitted them to Maj
Gessford.
Probably 10000 copies of the new
rules will be printed to supply eX-
pected demands. The last regula-
ttOns, revised to August /, 1920,
were published last fall. Only 5000
copies were issued and these were
soon exhausted by distribution from
the police department and the office
II the superintendent Of licenses.
