China's Needs Are Great.

Sydney Greenbie writes in tho
Worlds Work:
China needs assistance. Railroads
are the worlds salvation and Chnas
sorrow. But for the lack of railroads.
China would today be the most pow
erful nation on earth-financlally and
politically. And the fact that her rail-
roads are short while those of other
countries are long makes her a prey
10 those tentacleS of trade against
which she is helpless China has to-
day only about $500 miles Of railroad !:
she needs 100000. She who built the
rambling walls has still only foot
paths. She needs 100000 miles o.
highway. Her canals which a thou
snnd years ago kept the country open
to trade and partially free from famine
have fallen into disrepair. She needs
telegraphs, telephones, wireless. II
only the money she borrowed went
INTO such enterprises China would re-
pay the world thousand fold

Possibilities Here.

An officer of the British army. Maj.
Frederick de Il. Craven. would not
only increase the kinds and quality OF
game animals i'm the United States
hut would add humor 10 sport. He
suggests that the yak be transplanted
from the Hmalayas to the Rocky
mountains. and that river buck. wart
hogs and swamp hogs be brought from
Africa and released in the swamps Of
Mississippi and Louisiana. The wa
ter buffalo of the Orient, he thinks,
would also thrive there. He would

with game animals OF considerable
value. But think Of the fun that the
newspapers would have with the ysk

WAS SUCCESS
WELFARE ASSOCIATION ADDS
MORE THAN $500 FOR RE-
LiEr WORK.

The sale of Gold Medal flour for
the benefit of the Alma Welfare AS
ISOLATION closed Saturday night with
very gratifying results. The sum Of
$332.97 was added to the treasury of
the organization. This amount in
cludes beside the commission on
flour sales, donations aSd the pro-
ceeds of two bake goods sales. The
drive was a great success in every
way ,oneof the most valuable re-
suits being a wide publicity given to
the Welfare Association.
The spirit Of cooperation on the
part Of the merchants was splendid.
Almost 10 a man they stood back Of
the movement and helped in every
way. The Alma Roller Mills under
the able management of Mr.. w. T..
Naldrett put forth real effort to be
of service and they proved one of the
strongest factors in the success of
the campaign. The Strand theater
very generously showed the Gold
Medal advertising free of charge dur
ing the entire period of the drive.
Prizes of flour were awarded the
two women selling the most flour and
the two selling to the greatest num-
Der of people. In the first class
Mrs Ed Parker received first honors,
Mrs. Frank Porter second In the
second class Mrs. Lloyd Campbell
won tie first place, Mrs. Joseph
Grover second Honorable mention
is made of the chairman who did
such splendid work-First ward, Mrs.
j. +. Fuller and MrsA VIM. SchSf;
Second ward, Miss Frances Stitt and
Mrs. Rapson; Third ward, Mrs. J. r.
Netzorg and Mrs. George Randells;
Fourth ward, Mrs. Charles Murphy
and Mrs. f. f. Sieg.
Much of the credit of the success
of the venture is due 10 the follow
ing women: Mesdames Fadden,
Tucker. Bennett, Cash, Sutton, Ro-
driguez, Ogden, George Mclaughlin,
Knoetzer, II. NJ. Glass, Porterfield,
VIM. Medler, Holcomb, c. A. Miller,
Boyd, Snyder, Dick and Harry.
The Third ward sold the largest
amount of flour for the number Of
residents.
At the close of the drive an Alma
merchant said 10 an officer of the
Welfare Association that we had
never before had a campaign which
helped so many agencies-the mer-
chants, the roller mills and the well
fare association.

FREEDOM MUST BE BOUGHT
Mastery Of All Passions and
Appetites.

Freedom is not gift, but an at.
tainment. 1t does not characterize
the state of nature, but flowers from
the growth Of personality and civillza-
ton.
Action issues from character and
there is inner dlscord and the feel
Ing Of restraint until the individual
Is happy and satisfied in his act and
attitude.
A divided Will marks incomplete
personality, and IL is not a free will
Every man must win his own free
dom. He must desire IL enough to
pay Its price, and it's price is the mas
terry of passions and appetites.
As man gains mastery over his
own powers and desires he is free
Resolutions are good, because they
witness 10 the sense Of incomplete self
mastery and 10 the vision OF greater
self-control and freedom that are pos
sible.-Minneapolis Journal.

STRANGE TO WESTERN EYES
Habits and Customs Of Hermit King
dom" Of Korea Hard for Travel
ers TO Understand.

Out into the Yellow sea and the
Eastern sea juts a peninsula of more
than $1,000 square miles. IL is an ex-
tension of Manchurla, and for CEN
turtles was under the suZerainty OF
China.
I'm old aliases the peninsula is called
Korea. For years it was known as
THE Hermit Kingdom" For after
the China-Japanese war the land be-
came an independent kingdom, al
though even then japan claimed juris-
diction over the country. But Korea
enjoyed her freedom only a short
time as an independent nation.
Ii was on August %. 1918, that
Japan formally annexed Korea, rs an
integral part of the kingdom. The
old name was changed 10 Chosen. In
japanese this name is divided into two
syllables-Cho Sen. This means 'rhe
Land of the Morning Calm"
Perhaps no other name would better
suit the land which was once called
the Hermit kingdom, for its people
are indeed very calm. So calm have
they been considered by japan that ii
isn't generally known there was some
opposition 10 the annexation of the
kingdom. and that republic was
formed and president elected. The
president. ii is said, was compelled 10
fee the country.
Many are the strange customs Of
This old little land AT one time the
king ordered all men 70 wear broad
brinmed hats made Of q material so
brittle the men couldn't get their
heads together" without nicking their
hats. And so. the story runs con-
spiracy was prevented.
But the milepOsts of Chosen are not
made of brittle material. They are
painstakingly hewn out of wood, and
are set up along the highways, carved
with Chosen characters, which give
the traveller the information he re-
qures for a safe journey.
To the eyes of many n western
traveller these mileposts look more like
images intended to frighten than
soothingly 10 inform. OF course, the
particular demon that should be pla-
Gated in each spot is properly pla-
Gated by the posts. And so these
Chosen milepOsts serve the dOublc
purpose of informing human travellers
and warning or those demons who
might trouble the highway. - Temple
