The plays, "Hiawatha" and A Dream

the stories being read by the little ac-
tors. Nannavon and Fern Chorlton read
the stories that interpreted the plays.
The stage setting for the first play Hi
awatha, was that of forest created
entirely Of heavy branches of autumn
leaves through which colored lights
shone. A Dream Of Mother Goose" was
the story of child who fell asleep and
dreamed of the Mother Goose tales. e.
len Cuffey, Virginia Mullinax and Mary

INDUSTRIAL GROWTH OF
CHINA MOVES RAPIDLY
Stauffer Says That 500 Factories
Have Been Developed Within
Last 5 Years.

I'm the next ten years l believe we
shall see an offensive and defensive al
lance between Japan and China which
will insure them commercial equality.
Then we will have the real Yellow Per.
H." This was only one Of the predic-
fions made by the Rev. Milton T. Stauf-
fer, secretary of the Survey Committee
of the Student Volunteer Movement,
who has been doing continuous work in
China since 1916. He spoke in the Y. NJ.
c. A. auditorium last night.
Mr.. Stauffer spoke Of conditions in
China in general and did not confine
himself to any one phase Of Chinese
development or progress.
In speaking Of China's position in re-
gard to natural resources, he said that
she is rich in iron deposits, but is pow
erless to develop these resources because
Of the lack of transportation facilities.
Another obstacle that is met in the de.
velopment of any resource, is the fact
that the Chinese mind is anything but
accurate and this makes it difficult to
introduce scientific machinery. However,
China has made great strides in her in
dustrial growth, according to Mr.. Stauf-
fer. During the last five years, more
than six hundred factories have been
established and, in those that have
sprung up, only the most up-to-date ma
chinery has been installed.
China has very dense population, the
most thickly populated part Of the coun-
try being south of Shantung, where
there are about one thousand persons to
the square mile. China's population in
creases twice as fast as that Of the Euro
pean countries. According to Mr.. Stauf-
fer. China's population doubles every
thirty-three years, while the population
Of the European countries doubles every
sixty-six years.
The wealth Of China is anything but
evenly divided. About 95 per cert of
the native Chinese live from hand to
mouth, but there is an upper crust Of
wealthy Chinese.
Although China has always been a
very illiterate country, she is making
great progress away from this condition
Books and newspapers are now being
printed in the vernacular, and lately
there has been introduced a phonetic
script Of thirty-nine letters which one
can learn quickly.
Mr.. Stauffer is an honorary missionary
of the Annoy Mission of the Reformed

WALTER DUFFY LAUDED


Mr.. Baker, of st. Croix Falls, Wis.
in giving his address at the Con
ference in Eau Claire emphasized the
importance of having the organized
leadership of the Red Cross follow.
| ing the disaster which occurred il
Wisconsin when the tornado swept
over four counties.
There was complete loss Of morale
A telegram was sent to headquarters
and representative arrived and pre-
scented plan whereby they might
begin reconstruction with out delay
A sum Of $4,000 became immediate
ly available.
Barron county happened to be or
the border line. Mr.. Walter Duffy
was agricultural agent in Barron
county when the call came for help
Mr.. Duffy organized his volunteers
numbering between seven and eight
hundred strong. This was called
"Duffy's Drive"
Mr.. Baker said it was simply Won
derful to see Duffy walking about in
this large army of volunteers like a
king, clear, cool-headed and with such
fine human touch.
These farmers donated their time
took their teams, carried their lunch
buckets an dtheir tools and went in
to the storm swept area and accom-
plished what three counties said could
not be done.
When the men arrived ready for
work, the materials needed were on
the ground. No time was lost in
salvaging and rebuilding. Of the
$4,000 necessary to rehabilitate
these people, $4,000 is already in
sight.
Surveys were made of all farms
and the necessary amount, not
money, but credit, allotted to each
family to put them on the same
basis they were before.
A1LcI ILLS survey CAC w ioSOiioAi
farmer was found to be 929o efficient
only needed 80 help to put him
back on his feet.
The local chapters took care of
the temporary relife, such as food,
clothing and shelter. Truck loads
of utensils were sent in from all
parts of the state.
217 farms were visited by the
tornado. Eight lives were lost. In
one instance the father, of four
m6therless children, was killed. These
children have all been placed in
good homes by the local chapter.
One little widow in very meagre cir
cumstance with an only daughter,
sent Mr.. Baker a five dollar bill. He
took that bill and looked at it and
thot of the sacrifice it meant for that
little woman and he made up his
mind that every cent of that relief
money. should be spent very, careful
ly and with that in mind. With
every bill that came in they would
say: There's some more of widow
DIS money"
We are all proud that Walter Guffy
did such efficient work and also that
he is Bayfield, county product.
