Missouri Opens Up,
Ferry In Service

The ice began moving in the
Missouri Saturday night, March
%, and the main channel was
clear by Tuesday although there
was ice along the banks. We'd
nesday afternoon Martin Hagen's
power ferry, White City, began
regular trips. 1t is reported that
George Littlefield will operate a
ferry at the Macon crossing, near
where the bridge is to be built.
The impossible period between
ferry and ice last Fall, and be-
tween ice and ferry this Spring,
were unusually short. Possibly
a record. Yesterday the ice had
not gone out at Poplar and Gull

CHINA'S GREAT
BIRTHDAY PARTY
MISSIONARY DESCRIBES NEW
YEAR FEAST IN THE
ORIENT

Rev H. G. c. Hallock, a
missionary working among the
Chinese, makes a practice of send
ing, at frequent intervals, to news
papers in America interesting
letters descriptive of the Chinese
and their strange customs. A let
ter received this week by The
Herald is so interesting and so
evidently authentic, written a
trifie over a month ago right
among the scenes described, that
it is deemed we'll worth the time
of Herald folks to read The com
mon birthday idea is not half bad,
after you think it all over.
Here is Rev Hallock's letter,
complete:
C. P. o. Box NO. 1894,
Shanghai, China, Feb Is, 1929.
Dear Editor
We are in the midst of the
Chinese big Chinese New
Year. Every ones birthday comes
on this day Should a child be
born in even the last hour of the
day of the old year it would be
two years old on New Years.
New Year came on Saturday, Feb. |
10th. Every store was closed All
work stopped. But it was quietl |
It was like many Fourth of Julys |
IN one. OH the fire-crackers. |
At midnight l was wakened by
vast broadside of large and small
and they kept it up
or days. In the morning the
ground was covered as by red
confetti of exploding
ire-works. Fire-crackers are but
part of the feast-the noisy part.
All Bills Paid
The last day of the year every
Ody is busy-the men at closing
p their accounts All bills must
e collected and all debts paid.
Voc be to the man who does not
ay his debts. The women are
cry busy. The house must be
lade as clean as pin and decor s
ted, and the brooms hidden-bad
lck if they appear on New Year. {
efore the New Year sun rises all +
inds of food must be gotten {
sady! Guests-many- come
lring those days and they must a
feasted. Few people see slum- il
er the last night of the old year.
