~ 81 Their Dsitisss IS

One of the strangest. things about
the, religion of the Chinese is the rev
erence; they hold for their gods, de-
spite the belief that the gods are Gull
lible as a man of inferior intellect.
Instead Of attrlDuting tinfallibility to
the deities they. Worship as all other
races have done, the Chinese resort to
tricks Of childish simplicity and are
sure they have deceived the god.
4 Usually the tricks employed are to
make sure the god does not betray
the sins of q Chinese to the higher
deities. An amazing example is the
treatment of the kitchen god Just
before he Is to start on, one of his
periodic visits to heaven. This trip
Is limited, because the kitchen god
may be absent only seven. days. j.
n The householder thinks he must pre-
vent the god from reciting his sins to
>the deit!es. So 1t is the general Gus
tom, before the god Isl to depart on
the seven days absence, to prepare
large hollow balls, Of the gods favorhe
candy. The kitchen deity has very
small throat. When the candy, Of
which he is extremely fond, is placed
before him, the Chinese say the goo
stuffs his mouth with It, being TOT
eluttonous to- leave any behind. His
small, throat prevents swallowing thu
connection, and thus when he appears
before the ruling deities he Is unable
to talk, and the houseiolder's sins
remain q secret. ~ tS5 ~ ~: i''s V,

been in dispute. h.. /, s......,>- al. yi
The chief source of information
has been refuse heaps of the armed
camps Of Washington, and many facts
have been learned merely from ex-
amining the buttons In the old dumps
Examination Of cooking utensils and
cutlery, broken pottery and other i'm
perishable. articles has aided the COM
mission. The buttons, still showing
the insignia after a century, and a
half, show that ten Massac husetts
regiments, fiy,e from, Connecticut and
one from Rhode. Island, occupied the
main fortress in the highlands. But
tons worn In one camp by Connecticut
soldiers bore. an imprint in honor Of
the birth Of the. French dauphin, show
ing that the soldiers were. In camp

Similar investigation on the sites
of British camps show their troops

Eighteen feet should be the mini

Through all the years we have been
trying to maintain, from forty to sixty
foot roads in q large percentage Of
our public highways when such a
width was wholly unnecessary. The
road sides have not been cared for
because they were waste land and
this, lack of care has, made them
spreaders of weed seed and hay fever.
A narrower roadway we'll kept, would
in most cases serve all the purposes
required, drainage and safety, says
the Successful Farming.
Now that the roads are to be hard
surfaced the tendency Is to 60 to the
other extreme in order to save taxes
for paving We must look ahead. II
we put down paving that will last
fifteen or twenty years, we must esti-
mate If possible the amount and kind

So far, we have never been able to
find any Liberty bonds growing
around on brush piles, even in the

been informed by any of this county's

Effort Will Win

.. Effort Will Win
Many of the most popular, ener-
getic men and women OF Bemld11 ana
Northern Minnesota are included IN
the short but representative list or
club members. Every one OF these par
ticipants are worthy or your sup
mort. A little help now-right at the
beginning of the campaign-will lend
announcement and help to some one
who has shown that he or she has the
ambition worthy OF your assistance
and therefore your subscription. rms
IL nc: a charitable undertaking, nor
are club members asking for charity
Or gifts of any kind, Every one who
subscribes for The Pioneer is get
ting his moneys worth and little
bit more.
i Understand that effort and per-
sistence alone will win this campaign
and the big prizes attendant thereto.
There is no chance for luck about it..
The best workers will earn the big
gest Prizes. Every safeguard possible
has been made to insure fairness ana
impartiality. One can hear many tales
in days travel hut none are more
insidious and misleading than the
state ment that there never was, nor
nevr can be, prize campaign con-
Quoted that lis not unfair. Such state
ments are made usually to discourage
those who could, If they persisted,
win the largest prizes and reap the
biggest awards.
Early Start Important
Those who have entered the cam
paign and have not started to work
as yet are overlooking the best OPP
portunity Of the campaign. Early
work means five times as much as
the same amount Of effort later on.
If you can get all the subscriptions
while the other fellow sleeps there
will not be many orders left when
the slumbering one comes to con-
seriousness. 1t takes pep and energy
to put your campaign over and to
win in a big way. But who says that
you have not as much ability and
ambition as your neighbor? POten-
TALLY you are a winner, until you
prove that you do not have the quail
ties necessary to win. And you can
develop winning qualities if you only
think you can.
The campaign is so short-less
than six weeks remain-that unless
you get started very soon the active
club members will get so far ahead
that, it will be almost impossible to
catch up. Such is not the case as yet
but every day you lose now is max
ing it doubly hard to keep pace with
whoever the leaders may be Thursday
~ The first official standing Of the
various club members will be made in
