BOAT DWELLERS
OF CHINA NEVER
GO ASHORE
Many Spend Entire Life on Waters
of Native City.

Vi NATIVE Iity.
In almost every city in China which
borders on the water, be it sea or bay
| or river or even a little stream,
there is a population which is known
as boat jewellers. These people rarely
! If ever set foot on the earth. They
spend their lives on their boats. Born
on these little craft, which rise with
the waves, many boat dweller lives
to old age without having seen any
thing else but what his boat has
touched These folks are called Tan
min"
Like forests of small thin trees, the
masts of these boats rise above the
waters of every city. They tie up to
the banks so close together it is
marvel to the uninitiated how they
contrive to cast loose and make their
way between their neighbcSs when
they must leave. But get away they
always manage to do, amid much ex-
element and shouting,
These boat jewellers are a great help
in solving the transportation problems
of China, but they have long been re-
garded as outeasts. If you ask how
so many people have come to live on
these boats you will be told that tradi
tion says the class was founded by
political refugees. These men and
women married, and so through the
years there has grown up a distinct
population.
In other days many Of them were
true water bandits-the true pirate
of the Chinese coasts and rivers. To-
day there are policemen who do moth
ing except see that these boat jewellers
don't harm those peaceful persons who
must travel by water. If you should
happen to make a river trip to China,
the chances are that each police cap
tain by the way would be informed of |
your coming long before you were due
in his district He would then see that |
you were provided with a guard, who
would ride on the boat with you so
long as you remained in the territory |
to which he was attached. Then he |
would turn you over to the guard in
the next district, and so on until your
was reached
His duty, ostensibly, would be to
guard you from the bandits who might
be in other boats. But, in reality, he
would first make sure that your own
boatmen served you well and safely
landed you at your destination.-

intimate association with the family than the magazine.
 No local merchant can afford not to advertise in local newspapers. It IS sad commentary upon small town business men that they don't see the advantage to them of carryinng an advertisement in the small town paper every issue. Such an advertisement is the cheapest salesman that the mer- chant can employ. The money spent in advertising in the local newspapers is an investment and not an expense; and it is the best paying investment that the merchant can make; but one in thousand publishers of the small town papers is compensated anywhere near what he is worth to the mer- chants and to the community in which he lives and to whose interests he dedicates his. life Every editor of local newspaper is constantly work ing in behalf of every merchant in his community, whether that merchant patronizes the local paper or not; but every merchant of every community, unfortunately, does not have the busi- ness common sense and the business foresight to see that it is to his own personal advantage to help support the country editor by advertising

BILIOUS CHILDREN
Black -Draught, Long in Successful Use, Praised by an Arkansas Mother, ''Soon Does
 Its Work"

Marmaduke, Ark.-Speaking of Thedford's Black-Draught, which from long use in her household has become regarded as "the family medicine" Mrs. Mary B. Hill, of Route 1, this place, says:
 When the children get bilious, give them couple of good doses, and when we have sour stomach, headache. or any liver or stomach trouble, we use Black-Draught. It is an easy laxa- tive, and soon does the work. cer- tainly think it is one of the best rem edies made"
 -Draught acts on the jaded liver, gently, but positively, and helps it in its important function of throw ing out waste materials and poisons from the system.
 In thousands of households Black Draught is kept handy for immediate use in time of need. Prompt treatment often is half the battle, and will often prevent slight ills from developing in- to serious troubles.
 Its well-established merit, during more than 70 years of successful use, should convince you of the helpful effects obtainable by taking Black Draught for liver and stomach dis orders. Get a package today, and keep 1t In your house. See that the package bears the words, ''Thedford's Black-Draught." NC-141

It is proposed that pads and hangings be provided that will absorb and deaden the reverberations of sound and will enable speaker to be heard in all parts of the halls.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

l. Thou shalt have no other gods before me-
 Z. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that IS in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down myself to them nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the lniquity of the fathers upon the chil- dren unto the third and fourth gener- ation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my com mandments.
 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lerd will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
 4. Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work. but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the sab bath day and hallowed it.
 5. Honor thy father and thy moth en that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
 6. Thou shalt not kill.
 '. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
 8. Thou shalt nto steal.
 5. Thou shalt not bear false wit ness against thy neighbor.
 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neigh bor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbours wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his OK, nor his ass nor anything that is thy neighbors.-Exodus 20:3-17.

COUNCIL SIFTlNCS

The Ell Centre fair committee APP
peared before the city council last
evening and made request for conces-
sions covering the necessary permits
for the erection of tents. The request
was granted.
Harry B. Ellison, attorney for J. A.
Cook, proprietor of the Palace theatre,
presented a petition making the re-
quest that the present ordinance per-
mitting tent shows to enter the city
at tax of $25 per dav or not to ex-
ceed $500 per quarter be changed to a
basis of $25 per day or not to exceed
$4,000 per quarter.
This request was made for the fact
that when an outside tent show is per-
mitted to remain here for an indefi-
mite period at very low license fee,
it works hardship on the local the
aters who have thousands of dollars
invested and who are regular tax pay
ers.
The competition is deemed unfair to
the home man and discourages him
from making further improvements in
equipment and the class of entertain
ment shown.
After lengthy discussion the mat
ter was taken under advisement dur
ing which time the council said that
they would confer with other cities
similar in size to Ell Centre to asccr-
tan the policy most generally followed
under like conditions.
