VISITING BISHOP MAKES
FINE ADDRESS ON CHINA
Continued from page u

(COuLIbu6u from page III
Government in China is largely de-
termined by public opinion although
the Chinaman does not take a great
interest in national affairs. Instead
he takes an intense interest in local
affairs and in either national or local
case the individual must bow to pub
lie opinion or majority thought upon
a certain subject The officials issue
edicts, awaiting the mandate OF public
opinion Ii opinion is favorable the
edict goes into effect. Otherwise a
new edict is issued
Labor is extremely poorly paid and
the common people are almost destI-
tute and without proper clothing in
climate about the same as ours. At
Shanghai in the winter the ricksha
men die by the hundreds of pneu-
monia. The ricksha is a small cart
drawn by man power.
The effect of Chinese psychology in
providing fire singers to chase devils
away from a sick mans house, child
labor, the power of the guilds, the
relations of the japanese and the
Chinese and the characteristics of the
Chinese character were other points
touched upon in the address. In
China "One-price man" is a mer-
chant who has built up a reputation
for honest selling and his goods and
prices must not be questioned. He
tells the buyer exactly what an ar
ticle is and what it is worth and the
buyer takes it or leaves it. The
bishop illustrated effectively how this
system Of merchandising works.
Child labor is one Of the worst fea-
lures of Chinese life. In the silk fac
tories little girls aged Z years stand
all day long immersing silk cocOons
in almost boiling water. They re-
ceive ten cents for about 13 hours
work.
The bishop was sympathetic in
speaking Of the japanese but he con-
siders them conceiteG and not fully
in grasp OF western civilization. IN
stead they have surrounded western
methods and largely adopted them
but in an initiative sort Of way and
with a failure to get the fundamen-
tails. He inferred that the Japs lack
originality although Il makes them
furious to tell them so. 1t is quite
evident that while Bishop Mcconnell
tries to think of the Japs as not fully
developed and hence subject to con
sideration he likes the Chinese much
better.
Chinese cooking came into the dis
course The Chinese, the speaker
said are master meat cookers, espec-
tally with pork, fish and chicken. The
Chinese have no Sunday and keep 40
especial record of time. Hence they
take plenty Of time with meals, par
| ticularly with banQuets, which last
| sometimes for hours spirit Of
dignity and fine hospitality prevailing
from the start to the end
The last words were devoted to a
plea for better understanding Of the
| Chinese. They have the oldest civili-
cation in the world, beginning in a
recorded manner away back in $500
B. c.. Since then the chroniclers have
never missed a regime and the record
is perfect. What they need, the
Bishop said, is the Christian spirit,
although he meant by that the real

BAD MUSCODA BLAZE

MUSCODA.-The entire business
section of this city was threatened by
fire which broke out in the Laurman
grocery store at 2 a. M. Friday and
burned it and the Wheeler building
adjoining it to the ground The loss
on the buildings is estimated at about
$15,0 900, not including the stock OF the
grocery.
The fire, which is believed to have
started by a defective fuse, shoulder
ed for time and allowed occupants
Of the second floor to escape. A ter
rife explosion caused by accumulated
gases occurred at a. M, blowing the
roof Of the grocery into the air, and
wrapping the entire building in
flames.
The fire department was unable to
control the fire and the Wheeler
building, which contains a pool hail
and living quarters, caught fire and
was rapidly consumed The next
building was threatened but was
saved by its stone walls. A car load
OF sugar was removed from the build
ing.
Telephone poles caught fire and
buildings across the street were
scorched, but heroic work of the fire
men kept the flames from spreading.
The Highland fire department was
rushed to the fire, but it was under
control by the time it arrived, about
5 a. III. @

SEVEN CHEST CLINICS
FOR GRANT COUNTY

Know Your Lungs" will be the
slogan in Grant county next week
when the Wisconsin Ani-Tubercu-
losis Association will hold a series of
seven flee chest clinics under the
auspices of the County Red Cross
Chapter. The first clinic will be held
at Muscoda, on May s, and the rest
of the schedule is: Fennimore, May
8; Cassyille, May 10: Lancaster, May
II and II; Bloomington, May IS;
Platteville, May Is and Is; Hazel
Green, May II Examinations will be
held from 8 a. III. to p. m. daily.
Patients wishing to be examined are
urged to register at the clinic as
early as possible in the morning, so
as to make sure of getteng examined.
While the Importance OF persons,
who have been in prolonged contact
with tuberculosis, coming to the
clinic has been especially emphasized
in the preliminary work; it is also
urged that others, who for any
reason suspect that they have lung
trouble make sure by thorough ex-
animation. Ex-service men, who
were pronounced tuberculous, and
patients examined at a former clinic,
where this disease was diagnosed or
suspected; markedly underWeight
children; persons who have had
pleurisy, bronchitis, pneumonia, and
influenza and who have not complete
ly recovered their health, are urged
to take advantage Of this opportunity
for free examination. Among the
danger signals of tuberculosis easily
recognizable are: indigestion, loss of
weight and appetite; lack of pep and
a constant tired feeling; feverishness
and a persistent cough. The clinic
offers an excellent opportunity for
former patients to check up on their
present condition.
Since the clinic work of the state
association started about three years
ago, over 10000 people in all parts
of the state have been examined. This
work is made possible through the
annual sale of Christmas Seals, while
local expenses is usually borne by
organizations in the community visit
ed The Grant County Red Cross
Chapter is bearing local expenses in
this series of clinics.
The free chest clinic conducted by
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis As
ISOLATION in cooperation with the
Grant County Chapter American Red
Cross, will be held in the Court
House. Follow the signs and remem-
Der the dates, May II and II, begin
ming at 9 a. m.

METEOROLOGICAL NOTES
FOR MONTH Of APRIL

TCmperature.-Th average tenn
peratul TOR the month was practical
~ normal but the average is made up
OF warm period during IT, H.. =. ;.
Of the month, and almost continuous
ly cool weather thereafter. From the
second to the ninth, inclusive, aver
aged 8 degrr es warmer than normal;
from the 10th to the 30th, inclusive,
there were only two days warm 81
than normal, and the average daily
deficiency was 81 degrees.
Fr0SiS.-There We're two days with
freezing temperature or killing frost,
the lst and the Goth. April 10th is the
average date for the past ~ years Of
the last killing frost in spring. There
were heavy fICsts on the 18th and
22nd and light frOsts on the 18th,
10Th, 18th, 23rd, 9th, 29th, and 30ta.
Precipitation.- Rainfall, like tenn
peratuIes, was practically the same
as the average Tor april, but it Oc-
CURED in numerous light showers, 50
that the number Of rainy days was
considerably above the average. A
measurable amount OF rain fell on
Just half the days OF the month.
There were five days with thunder
storms, WHICH Is dDOuC CW1CG LAC
average number for April.
Sunshine percentage OF sun
shine was 48, and the number Of clear
days five; both unusually small for
April.
Wind.-High wind on the 18th did
some minor damage and increased the
difficulty of protection against the
flood in the Mississippi river, which
was then nearing its peak.
Riyer.-The Mississippi river on the
1st Of the month was at the moderate
ly high stage of 80 feet, and under
the influence of the warm weather
and frequent and moderately heavy
rains Of the first nine days over the
damage area north of Dubuque, il
rose continuously, reaching the flood
stage $50 feet) at Dubuque on the
18th and a maximum stage of 21.)
feet on the night Of the 20th-21st.
This exactly equals the crest stage
reached April 7, 1920, and has been
exceeded in the past 80 years only by
the floods of June 1880 and May 1888.
1t remained above 20 feet for five
days and above flood stage for IL
DAYS. After the 21st it fell steadily
at the average rate OF seven and a
half inches per day. The lower Wis
consin was in flood at the same tins
and reached stages from about foot
to foot and half higher than those
reached in 1920. There were no eX-
tensive or great losses due to the
flood in this district, but the total
made up Of relatively small individual
losses was considerable.
Weather CrOpS.-The warm and wet
weather of the first decade OF the
month started the harder vegetation
and removed all frost from tbs
ground, but left the soil too wet fol
blowing and the roads impossible
Thereafter, under the influence OF
cool, cloudy weather and frequent
showers, the soil dried very slowly
and blowing and the seeding of oats
were much delayed. Both farm work
and vegetation were backward at the
close of the month, and accordingly
the frosts caused no material damage
