The Modern Woodmen picnic yes
terday was a .'grand successful every
way. The weather was perfect; the
crowd was large and orderly; the en-
tertainments were all that anyone
could expect; and the Woodm en-
treasury was augmented by between
$3.50 0 and $4,000.
What little "white mulen there was
in evidence seemed to be of the
'tame' variety; but only one fellow
from Sligo seemed to have a little of
the lighting variety; but only one
fellow took him seriously, and "slap-
ped him over" which settled him for
the rest of the day. Two others got
a little "loud," and q~uarreled a little;
but nc n was hurt.
The baseball game between the
local team and that of Bunker was
the chief attraction. 1t was a close
contest from the beginning, and prov
ed to be by far the best game u
boys have played this season. Bixby
scored n In the second inning, two
In the third, and one in the fifth;
Bunker, one in the fifth and one in
the ninth. Bixby's first run was the
result of a single, a stolen base and a
two-base hit. The two scores in the
third we're due to an error at first, a
hit and an out at fret.
Bunker's first run was scored on ac-
count Of q two-base hit, a steal to
third and an error on second. The
last score was caused by a walk, an
error at third, and an out at second.
If the game had been %errorleRs, the
score would have been 2 to 0 in
favor of Bixby. Bixby made five hits
and Bunker two. Bixby struck out
ten and Bunker seven. Left on bases:
5, Bunker 6.

"IT's a dirty bird that befouls Its
own nest" This applies to those Re-
publican newspapers who take ad-
vantage of every opportunity setforth
by their own lying declarations to be-
smirch the good name of the State
they disgrace. "Missouri is thirty
fifth in education!" ..yelped the pack
until their falsehood was called by
Mr.. Tigert, head of the Federal De-
partment, who puts US third or fourth
in the list. Now, Mr.. Tigert is a Re-
publican, but not of the standard Mis-
souri, brand. The Globe-D Democrat
some years ago was shamed into ceas-
ing its cry, "Poor Old Missouri" but
some little fellows know neither de-
cency nor shame.

provinces where customs take years to penetrate
 The new fashion made 1t possible for Chinese women to become more active in affairs. They entered busi- ness and even politics. There were women in the first parliament of the republic in 1912. In the most pro- gressive province, kuang-tung. wom- an suffrage has been established. Nurses and telephone girls" have al- ways been men in China, but recently girls in Canton have taken over this work. And they are even ticket agents and conductors on steam trains.
 Short Skirts Taboo
 Canton, however. is taking some precautions against too conscientious copying of western progress. There is municipal ordinance in Canton that no western short skirts or short sleeA dresses shall be worn in the streets
 Two other changes Mir Chan men, tioned as having been especially im- portant in helping to awaken China from her lethargy.
 One is the determined struggle against opium. which has led the gov ernment to prohibit the poppy being grown. If a farmer raises a small patch of poppies in his garden the farm will be confiscated by the gov- ernment. And in one representative province the penalty for smoking opium is a fine for the first offense. Imprisonment for the second, and the third time the offender is cured-he is executed
 The main difficulty in the drug -ff fffta ion te hn Ia fac opium and morphine through Shan tung. China claims that that is one reason why Japan wants to hold the province, and this smuggling hampers the government in it's efforts entirely to stamp out the drug habit.
 The other big advance is the new alphabet which replaces the old 79, 900 characters of the Chinese writ ten language. MT. Chan points out that this written language was like the old Egyptian hierogrlphics, and that sign like two legs running rep resents man. Another like figure with arms that seems to be sitting down is the symbol for woman-she could not run. The sign for a COW looks like two horns and a tail: and a flat back, long tail, four legs, rep resents a horse.
 It was so hard to master the clas- l sics in this difficult language that scholars sometimes spent all their | lives in the attempt. The common people more often than not were un- able to read ortwrite. But in 1912 the minister of education announced the new national phonetic system of | 49 letters. and now women who have | never been to school are able to learn to read and write in less than two months. Public school books, maga- zines and newspapers are being | printed in the new system.
 This alphabet was body blow tc the old Chinese tradition of reverence for the ways of one's ancestors The filial Chinese had always accepted | the tradition that one must not dis grace these ancestors by improving on the. mode of life bequeathed by them. But ancestors. like everything | else, are beginning to be regarded from a Twentieth century standpoint | in China.

IN CHINESE CUSTOMS

and covered it with a cap. But the police are suspicious, and make any suspects take off the caps. If the queue is there, the policeman pulls out a big knife and gives the man free hair cut"
 binding is another fashion as passe in China as the wasp waist is in America. The small feet" girl in China now has difficulty in get ting a husband. The young men want large feet" wives. Nor can a mission schools. She is as unpopu- lar as the girl with unbound feet was a few years ago.
 Binding the women's feet. accord ing to MT. Chan, is an even more ancient practice in China than wear ing the hair in a queue. There are two stories of its origin. One says that one. thousand years ago, an ex- ceedingly beautiful queen of the Tong dynasty had a deforrnity of her feet. To hide this defect from the feet tightly and pretended that she wished them to be very small as a mark of beauty, even though 1t kept her from walking. The other women of the court, all eager for the honor of being chosen as concubfnes by the king, followed the new fashion to achieve beauty. And so foot-bind- ing spread over China.
 The other theory is that the Chinese men long ago found out that the best way to keep a woman in the home was to render her helpless. There would be nothing to distract her from her home duties and she would look up to her husband as knowing so much more about the out side world than she knew. Thus the perfect wife was created in 1 China, and by the most efficient method possible-making it the fashion for a woman to cripple her feet.
 For ten centuries this unwritten style held the Chinese women in its wise. The large feet" girl could not pariah. Fifteen years ago half a Annoy and formed an anti-foot bind | ing society,". China was awakening to the outside world and progress, and l the society easily stirred up public ! opinion. Petitions were presented to i the queen dowager and she finally 1 issued an edict to abolish the old custom.
 My sisters feet" says MT. Chan, 'were only three inches long. She i unbound them. All of her children | have large feet. The older women could not benefit by the new style
 After 30 years of age the bones are set in the cramped condition and can not relax So now small feet are rarely found except on the old women | of China and the women of far inland

WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug. 20.- Americans do not realize that the pig tailed" small footed nation which they call to mind at mention of China absolutely does not exist. according to Pax Gnu Chan,who has been studying medicine and theology at American universities.
 q have been asked if all Chinese are laundrymen." says MT. Chan in his perfect English. And though for ten years it has been against the law to wear a queue. I find that American people do not understand that there are no queues in China"
 The queue was one of the strong traditions of the Empire days-one of the apparent trif1es which held China back in her unprogressive civilization. The Chinese in this country long ago found that the fered with his being taken seriously as a business man. The pig -tair' of the Chinaman was certain to be a subject of jest. Accordingly many Chinese had their queues cut off. well aware that by this act they made themselves exiles from China. A queueless man in the Chinese empire was regarded as a rebel against the state and the penalty was death at the headsman's block.
 To find the reason for this signifi- canoe attached to the queue, MT. Chan says, we must go back to 1644, when America was still struggling with its first settlements. The Manchus arose and dominated China at that time. The Manchu prince 1isarmed the Chinese people, but there were S,000,000 Manchurians against several hundred million Chinese.
 So, further to insure submission, the conquering ruler ordered all Chinese to braid their hair into a queue. This he made a sign of loyalty to the new dynasty. It was useful, too, because if a man tried to escape. he could sometimes be caught by the queue flying back of him. Some Chinese protested, but the penalty was death.
 Eventually the Chinese got used to the queue and became attached to it But when China opened her doors to other countries the queue became troublesome. Diplomats and business men wished to cut off the eueue and to wear western clothes. Many peti- tiops were presented to the emperor Then, the republic was established 1T 1911 and the new constitution ol China said that all queues must be cut. In one province, Mir. Chan re- members, 10000, 900, queues were re- ported cut in one day.
 Helped the Hat Business
 At first a few old men wished tt retain their queues" MT. Chan re- collected with a smile. 50 the, wrapped the queue around the heas
