CHINESE SENSE OF Ora nTUDE
Bandit Saved From Death BY Japanese
0ensral Eager to Offer Asslst, .s.

!, The bandits gratitude is the gist Of
a story that comes from Tokyo, Japan.
The widow of the japanese general,
6aito. who has been left practically
penniless after the recent death, of her
husband In Siberia, was astounded
4 few days ago to see richly
dressed Chinese smiling and bowling
on her doorstep. You do not know
me, madam he said, ''but your hus-
band saved my life, and naturally my
life belongs to him and hts I have
heard Of your need Of assistance. I
have made arrangements with my
banker to forward you 500 monthly.
and If that is not sufficient for your
needs more will be added" He then
departed before the widow could
realize her good fortune. The tale
dates back to the Russo Japanese war.
The Chinaman, was head Of some
bandits whom the Russians used for
spy. work. He was captured by Saito
and sentenced to death. His mother
heard OF this and pleaded, "Who will
worship at the grave Of his ancestors?
He is an only son and am old"
Saito, sympathetic, agreed to spare
the bandits life on condition that he
guided the Japanese troops to point
near Port Arthur. After the war the
bandit retired" and was granted a
concession for the lighthouses in the
Chinese quarter Of Tokyo, where today
the one-time bandit is a wealthy and
respected citizen.

The use of rice by-products in
swine feeding is not by any means
new to the farmers in this section
1t is we'll known fact that hogs dc
exceptionally we'll both in dry lot
and on pasture when given rice polish
properly supplemented.
In the North corn stands king as q
hog feed However, that "Kine
Corn" is being given run for his
money is indicated in the preliminary
figures which cover the first % days
of feeding in an investigational pro-
iect now under way at the Iberia
Livestock Farm.
This investigation covers COM
parison of rice polish, brewers rice,
and shelled corn all supplemented by
tankage and full fed on oat pasture.
Briefly the preliminary results of
the first % days feeding are as fol-
lows:
In this trial a mixed lot of grades
and purebred 65 pound 3 month old
pigs are being used.
The indications in brief may be
enumerated:
Both the rice by-products groups
made more rapid gains with less feed
consumed than did the corn group.
2-The group fed Brewers Rice re-
quired approximately 81 lbs. less
grain per 100 lbs. gain than did the
corn group.
3-Rice Polish lot required approx
imately GO lbs. less grain than did
the corn group to produce 100 lbs.
gain.
4-In addition to the above it must
be kept in mind that there is a big
difference in price at this time in
favor of rice by-products.
5-The lot fed Brewers Rice APP
parently suffers more from heat than
either of the other lots. Whether
this is due to the ration fed or some
other cause can not definitely be stat
ed, however, the pigs in this lot are
being closely observed, and as the ex-
pertinent progresses more light will
be thrown on the cause.
GA precautionary word or two
may be seasonable. This is only one
trial, and has progressed only % days
to date, hence, it is in order to state
before making definite conclusions
the results of the entire experiment
will have to be available. The plan
Of the above experiment contemplates
carrying these hogs to marketable
weight before conclusion.

CENSORSHIP OF FILMS.

The moving picture industry is be
ing modified to resist the onslaught
against it in the form of stricter CEN
sorship. Some of the plans for CEN
soring the films are notably far
fetched, though this is not saying that
some films are not injurious to the
young.
Censorship is a difficult undertake.
ing. 1t is largely a matter of per.
sonal taste. Some censors would like
to bar kissing, hugging "high life
scenes, drinking, shooting, crime anc
sex. We don't see what would be
left of the films if such rules were
enforced.
The moving picture industry, how
ever, should see to it that there is
less cause for complaint. UnquesVon
ably there has been too much Grim,
and sex motives in some of tn,
films, and only the greed for money
put them there.
If the censorship drive does moth
ing better than TO put the industry OF
more moral footing it will have
achieved worthy end. The indus
try can easily prove that the crime
wave and other evils of present da.
life are not traceable to its doors.-Ex
