HOO PER CENT PRESENT"

The Pine Bluff Rotary Club at it's meeting last Tuesday held it's first session with 100 per cent attendance. Every member of the club counted present. Several were out of the city but wired that they would attend the Rotary Club meeting at the places where they stopping. Two members who confined their beds, attended by telephone They propped up in their beds and heard the proceed ings through ampfier installed n their rooms.
 The purpose and spirit of the 100 per cent attendance" movement is creditable While a jority of the members of organization transact the majority of business to come before them, the spirit of every nan attending2 is the only spirit which win complete victory. Nothing be done well and done by halves. Every man is needed in the line, and none knows this better than the Rotarian The knowledge that every absentee is with them despite the physical distance that interVenes' cannot but encourage those who fortunate enough to be able to attend their sessions

The Chinese learns dancing after q certain struggle. The women arc better than the men, but both incline to exaggerated movements Also, the mans flowing robes arc not always convenient, and some Of the women who formerly had their feet bound have stiff ankles. But they are learning, and some dance as well if not better than their teachers. The younger generation will be on par with the West.
 The Railway Department here has found it necessary to issue q special set of regulations against pedestrians sleeping on tho tracks of the line. The utilization of the track for a bed, incredible as it may seem to Western eyes, is becoming an increasing menace and has re- suited in number of deaths. The railroad track from a Chinese coolio's viewpoint makes an ideal lounge inasmuch as the average poorer class bed consists only of two boards, with a wooden block for a pillow Thus the rail merely takes the place of the pillow.

 But none the less dancing in China is here to stay. Several for eign dancing teachers have made rich profits giving lessons to the sons and daughters of wealthy Chi nese. One young American found himself out of job through the failure of his firm and happened to give a few dancing lessons to the daughter of prosperous mandarin at whose house he had gone for din ner. They were so much appreci- atod that he was retained at a very reasonable fee and made dancing adviser.' Others sought his advice, and he was SO overWorkcd tEat he was forced to retire fer his health. His income, however, became many times that of his previous salary.
 The star producers of American jazz are the members of the Ameri- can Marine Band attached to the American Legation. They are con stantly in demand, and the most chic modern Chinese parties make point of hiring them for the occa- sion.

Sheriff Larson picked up two al
legged chicken thieves on the street
yesterday and they are now resting in
the county Jail awaiting their hearing
which will be before Judge I. j. Moe
either today or tomorrow. Their
names are J. H. Stevens and E. w.
Engler and they claim Pine City,
MIMI, as their home. There have
been numerous reports from farmers
in the district of the loss of chickens
and the officials have been led to be-
lieve that someone was making a reg
ular business of chicken stealing. Joe
Starke reported the loss of a large
number of chickens about ten days
ago and John Ravelin also reported a
loss so the sheriff was keeping an
eye out for possible thieves. They
were found on the street yesterday
with an auto with chicken crates in
the rear Of the car covered with blan-
kets. 1t is thought that they have
been stealing chickens and hauling
them to Fargo for disposal in the rear
of their car.

Poverty of Riches" is one OF the sin

deals with family life, children, and
business struggles, with the emphasis
on the domestic problems of two fam
lilies. 1t is a picture that not only tells
an interesting story of American life,
but also carries lesson that all may
