The Only Official in China Who Regards Him
self as a Public Servant
By RODNEY GILBERT, in Asia Magazine.

WI Peffu is a small man, very slight, with diminutive hands and
feet, but as hard as nails and as agile as a cat. He has a narrow, we'll
shaped head, soft amber eyes, and the slightly aquiline features which
are the mark in both China and Japan Of the arstorat. On the parade
ground he is something of a martinez, but no one minds because he
works as hard as any soldier. In his headquarters he is the most unas-
Stunning and in some respects unimpressiye military officer in China.
He is probably the only public official in China who sincerely re-
CARDS himself as a public servant. Having the power Of a dictator he
will not assume the functions. His plea invariably is that he has no
right to interfere in such matters. He removes tyrants and creates OPP
portunities for the people to call their pariaments or set up the officials
they want, but he says he has no authority to do these things for them.
Once the fighting is over, his major ambition always seems to be
to get into the most inconspicuous corner available and wait hopefully for
the people to do the rest. Meanwhile the people are waiting for him to
move, and the usual result is mutual disappointment.

sort of newspaper that would be pub
lished if everybody edited IL Wouiu
be something wonderful, but notn1ng
that anybody would subscribe Tor. Inc
newspaper business is perhaps tne
most competitive of any in existence.
People who make up newspapers must
have the mass of the people in mind
every moment. No newspaper can
live by catering to a chosen few.
There is not in any community
enough business to support a large
newspaper designed especially for
what are slangily called the highbrows.
The highbrows are vague class, but
are commonly supposed to be the type
of citizens who take no interest in
any subject except one concerning
things that would be discussed in a
faculty, or a fine arts convention, or
a symposium of the higher clergy.
No daily newspaper made to fit a
clientele of intellectuals or near-in-
tellectuals could subsist on what the
intellectuals would be willing to pay.
A new author made himself un-
popular some time ago by saying that
as far as he had observed most of
the criticisms of his book had come
from that class of readers who never
buy books, but are keen for borrow
ing them and picking them to pieces.
1t might be said Of some of those
who are severest in their condemna-
ton of the daily press that they do
not have to pay it's bills nor do they
contribute greatly to its support.

Leave Us the Windows,
Please.

Milwaukee journal: An Eastern ex-
pert suggests about the last remain
ing refinement" in creating COM
plete artifciality in city life. He wants
windows abolished, basing his case
on these charges: Windows let out
heat and let in dirt; they have to be
cleaned, and now and then broken panes
replaced, too much capital is tied up
in courts and other spaces left to let
in light. This, he estimates, brings
the cost Of windows above the cost OF
artificial lighting.
That may be true, but most of us
will feel like clinging to the window.
The opening may be only small
affair in an by 10 office, with an ugly
wall across the alley, but somehow il
keeps us in touch with the outside
world. 1t lets in a little light and a
little air and now and then gives us a
glimpse Of the sunshine. We don't
care if the costs are little heavier
than artificial light.
The city has taken away enough OF
the big outoors, goodness knows
What most of us long for is breath
of fresh air, and glimpse of the
lake, the fields and the streams. We
have to be satisfied with less-just
bit of window, perhaps. But to
shut US up in steel-girder buildings
with no openings except the portals
through which we passed in the morn
ing and escaped in the evening would
be about the last straw.

GROWERS WARNED OF SALES
ON CONTRACT.

Potato growers of Minnesota are
warned against contracting their 1928
crop to unknown, unlicensed and ir-
responsible persons in a statement is
sued this week by N. j. Holmberg,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
In years past, it has been a general
practice for persons operating with
little or no capital to go into the po-
tato growing sections of the state
about this time of the year and OBJ
tain contracts for potatoes at given
price, usually somewhat above the
market at the time. If. at delivery
time, the market is above the agreed
price, the fellow with the contract is
on the ground to demand delivery but
if the market drops, the producer is
left to sell his crop as best he may.
Mr.. Holmberg's statement ex-
plicitly states that the warning had
no bearing on contracts between farm
ers agreeing to sell comparatively
through their own agencies. The new
Minnesota Potato Growers Exchange
is offering a contract which has the
Endorsement of the state Department
of Agriculture.
Farmers are asked to bear in mind
that dealers are required by law to
obtain license and put up a bond.
Any one without such a license is
operating illegally and should be re-
ported to proper officials. If per-
sons offering contracts can show a
license, the producer has the assur-
ance that the license is backed by a
bond which will assure fulfillment
of such terms as the grower is able
to obtain.

LynO Bethany.

Lyno Bethany, the two year oh
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Bethany
was drowned at their home last Sat
urday afternoon. The mother was at
work in the garden and the child had
been playing around in the garden
and yard. Later when he was missed
his mother started in search of him
and found his body floating in the
water tank. A pail that the child had
been playing with was found nearby
and it is thought that the child fell
into the tank while trying to fill the
pail. The mother Immediately re-
moved the body from the water and
administered aid. Later the child was
taken to Springfield where a physi-
clan tried to resuscitate the body.
Funeral services were held from the
home Tuesday afternoon at one
o'clock, Rev. Langholz conducted the
services. The remains were inferred
in the Lamberton cemetery. Much
sympathy is felt for the parents in
their sad bereavement.-Lamberton

Emergency Hay Crops
(By LYNN Sheldon)

Many farmers find they are facing
a hay and forage shortage for the
winter of '23 and "a as result OF
Try weather, and winter killing OF
pasture and hay seeding. Seeding OF
some emergency hay crop at this time
may greatly relieve the situation. The
following crops are good it sown
soon:
Soy Beans for hay high in Protein
drilled in rows thick, 40 pounds per
acre should yield / " to 2 tons of hay
about as good as Alfalfa. Call at
the County Agents office for seed.
Millet drilled solid about 40 to 30
pounds should provide good hay for
stock.
Sorghum drilled in rows 8 and IL
rounds per acre or drilled solid 80
% Is pounds provides good forage,
Sudan Grass drilled solid 80 pounds
per acre is good for hay or pasture.
Every little space of ground not III
use or where seeding or planting is
lost should be utilized to provide some
good roughage for winter use.
NOW YOUR SWEET CLOVER.
Do not make the mistake of letting
your Sweet Clover pasture grow ur
tall and woody. Increase the value
f it, and get some good hay by NOW
ing it high, about to 6 inches, so as
not to injure the new shoots. If Sweet
Clover is utilized it is one of the best
pastures available. If neglected it
is nuisance, and not nearly SO pro-
ductive.
ALFALFA SEEDING.
Farmers experience reported to the
County Agent in Redwood County as.
sures the practice of seeding Alfalfa
or Sweet Clover in corn before the
last cultivation and narrowing cross
wise between the rows with harrow
made for this purpose. Alfalfa seed
ing should be 10 to IL pounds to ths
are.
Certified White Sweet Clover, anc
Trim Alfalfa are advised for seeding
