2. Your reference that the white
guards in the Chinese army are Chi
nese citizens seems to be based on
q Misunderstanding or an inadequate
information. Indeed, as is probably
known to you the adoption OF Chi
nese citizenship is ruled by the law
OF 1912, supplemented by special an
notations in 1914.
The law provides for special con-
ditions for passing into Chinese citi-
zenship. To be a naturalized Chi
nese citizen, II is necessary TO have
lived in Chinese territory during
period OF Ave years: TO possess
property or some kind Of knowledge
giving the possibility OF earning in
dependent livelihood.

3. However, even il the white
guards who are now to be found in
the Chinese army did adopt the Chin

with the laws of the Republic Of
China, the Chinese government
could not thereby be freed from its

efficient service. Should you have
to wait an unreasonable time either
at the bar or kitchen, do not hest
tate to report to my office the en-
ployes causing the deIay.-H. C.
Moir, President.
The effect of this sign is that every
body must work at full speed. When
the walters give their orders to the
cook they insist on quick service. In
doing so they create a disturbance
with hellish noises, which causes ami
mostly among the cooks and walters,
even resulting in frequent fights. How
ever, this is quite in line with the pol
icy of the hotel owners. They feel
that they reap some advantage so long
as the employees contend one with an
other.
Another sign has reference to smok-
ing as follows:

IMPORTANT.

Any empIoye caught smoking will
be fined five dollars, and for the
second offense will be discharged.
One dollar reward to any employe
reporting another for smoking.
The sign serves one purpose, and
that is to keep the employees at war,
one with another. The slaves at the
Morrison Hotel work hard, but receive
for their efforts but a few crumbs
while their masters are accommodating
millions of dollars.
Also, the employees are only allowed
certain things for their meals. The
following is a letter typewriter on
Morrison Hotel stationery:
Mr.. Purdy, Steward, Grill Room.
Dear slr-Don't give the busboys
or mattresses meat and eggs for
breakfast. They are allowed either
meat or eggs, but not both. It has
been called to my attention that
they are getting ham, bacon and
eggs for breakfast. So please see
that this matter is taken care of.
EIGEN, Maitre d'Hotel.
Not only are the conditions bad at
the Morrison, but in other hotels as
we'll. To remedy this, you workers
must wake up and organize. Today is
the day of unity. In unity there is
power. You have the power to abolish
these barbaric conditions and to make
the food industry a decent vocation
for the workers.

PROGRESS AND THE STORES

A practical and work-a-day application of the story of human
progress may be seen in the Cody business district and in the
numerous units of that district.
Even within the present-generation there has been a notice
able transformation in local business. The store 30 and even
~ years ago was a crude, unfinished, unsystematized and half
hearted sort of institution, if it could have been called an in
st1tnt1on in those days. How different it is today. 1t dweIs in
a house OF imposing height entered between sparkling expanses
OF crystal and public displays of alluring merchandise. Within
have been accumulated the wonders of the world in accessible
and protecting showcases. No more is the store crude. unfinish-
ed, with out system and anemic.
Specialization in business and industry has been nowhere
more marked than in the store Our forefathers did their buy-
ing at one store, the general store, usually situated on the
village square or the crossroads. There they bought every-
thing from the babys clothes to the farm machinery and after
buying everything" they had actually bought little, for pitt
fully small was the complete stock of the general store" Today
the business OF the general store is scattered among scores of
Establishments each specializing in one of those many varieties
OF merchandise offered by the general store. The result has been
that the public is offered complete stocks. Instead of taking
what 1T can get the public now gets what it wants. Modern bust
ness offers, even in the smallest communities, stores making a
special study of every branch of merchandising. The hit or miss
way of doing business has been eliminated for the merchant and
the buyer.
1t is often remarked that less than a score of years ago
life insurance was sold by those who had failed in other things.
1t was a business requiring no especial merit on the part of its
statesmen. Today it is a highly developed business with a staff
of highly trained statesmen. Even more recently was the term
CLERK" dropped for "salesady" and salesman" in the home
town stores. The store is now a highly developed business with
a staff of highly trained statesmen and salesladies. Salesmanship
today is in the hands of experts who are authorities on that
which is being sold.
The local stores are keeping step with human progress.

AN EERIE NIGHT

This sophisticated and materiaEstc world no longer believes
An ghosts, good fairies, witches and magic charms but has not
detracted at all from the traditional observances of Halloween.
the eve OF All Saints Day and the night on which the shadow
denlzens of the spirit world return to earthly haunts.
SO this Saturday evening when night draws her curtain
across the world the unbelieving worldlngs will supplant the
real ghosts, black cats and broomstick witches with a make
believe eerie realm of cut paper, noise makers and pumpkin fac
es. Halloween parties, street carnivals with masks, costumes
and confetti, and prank-playing have universal permission to
monopoize the spotlight tonight. And as the witching hour of
twelve draws near there will be some unfaithful ones glancing
coveruy back at their shifting shadows and jumping at every
squeak of the chamber stairway. After all, Halloween wouldn't
be half so much fun if there was no superstition attached to
1T and the fact that it is now all superstition of suggestion does
night.
In its merrymaking let not the community forget the double
significance of this night. Primarily this will be an observance
OF All Saints eve, but it is also a harvest celebration. The
frosty pumpkin, the Tustling corn shock and the bobbing apple
play an important part in this nocturnal celebration and in
separately link Halloween with the harvest time. ,
A wit has pointed out that the good saints have shown
rare wisdom by making their annual pilgrimage back to earth
In the heart of the harvest season.

ROADS AS AMERICANIZERS

The American automobiles is seeing the country" There is
no doubt about that. He is enjoying life in the great outdoors
where the air and the sunshine are healthful. Every family in
America of moderate circumstances now has some sort of an
automobile. Speaking of the situation in the West recently, Sec
rotary Hoover said:
81 found them camping out in their automobiles in the
hills and valleys west of the Mississippi. 1t is estimated that
5000 are so encamped"
What is true of the West is true of the East and the South
from Florida to New England and even into Canada. The people
are learning something about the beauties of their country first
hand, and better than this, they are learning something about
their fellow countrymen.
Secretary of Agriculture Jardine recently stated: Com
munication is a great equalizer" As the people in the East go
West and the people of the West drive East, as the southerners
whiz North and the northerners glide South over the perfect
system of roads that is rapidly being completed over the coun-
try, they are learning that most Americans are pretty much the
same; that a new Highlander and a southerner, a Hoosier and an
Oregonian are a great deal alike under the surface, that all have

RAISE POLITICS ABOVE JOB HUNTING

Medicine, surgery, everything that is directed by the hui
man brain and human ingenuity, in twenty years has progressed
except government" says Governor AL 7. Smith of New York
Commenting on this remark, Golfers says: "The explanation
is to be found in the fact that business and science have offer
ed more attractive rewards than has politics. There are excep-
lions. ZAP Smith is a notable one, Andrew w. Mellon is another
His administration of the treasury has been of incalculable val
|ue during these difficult years of funding the great war debt
But generally, the more gifted men and women have avoided
public service. A hundred and fifty years ago politics offered the
largest opportunities to ambitious men. Today the George Wash.
ingtons and Alexander Hamltons are managing businesses or
conducting experiments in laboratories. Progress will come
when once more the public service gives frstrate men and
women space to use their full powers"

like it at all, at all, and I'll never
be buried in it as long as l live"
What an unreasonable old fool
We are to be sure said the other,
losing his temper. "Why man alive,
it is a fine cemetery and if my life
is spared, sure I'll be buried in it.
