Always, when China is the
news, the traveller thinks Of
Canton, that city Of the South,
that seems to dominate China
far more than does Peking, or
rather Peiping. The Cantonese
proudly boast that every new
enterprise that will benefit
China originates with them and
proudly point to the fact that a
great many of China's best
known warriors and statesmen
are natives of Canton.
The people really are natural
ly alert, quick-witted and have
marvellous memories, and seem
to be progressive and intellec-
tually alive. No wonder they
seem to command and domi-
nate.
The city IS old, very old, and
certainly many of the narrow,
crooked streets look as though
they had been there always.
The Old Wall, six miles in cir
cumference and with II
gates has been destroyed and
in it's place are very wide
streets and avenues, thick with
trolleys, motors and other forms
of traffic. Ideal indeed is the
European quarter of Canton,
known as Shameen. It is really
over two miles from the city
proper, which really is a splen-
did idea. Lots Of people. asa

motor boats and there is also
a connecting road for auto
traffic.
Originally the Shameen was
nothing but a mud-flat, but now
it is attractive. The settlement
is A acres, of which four
fifths is British. A stream
crosses the island and over this
have been built two bridges that
are closed at night. Guards
patrol the quarter and high
barbed-wire entanglements have
been placed along the river
front.
The quarter itself contains all
the conSulateS, mercantile build
ings, clubs and lovely homes set
in beautiful gardens. Trees
thick with foliage help to make
the island very attractive.
In marked contrast to the
International Quarter is the rest
of Canton. But gradually the
filthy streets are being torn up
and wide thoroughfares are
being built.
But however successfully the
streets of Canton may be re-
built and improved the many.
storied pawnshops will still be a
feature of the architectural
landscape. The pawnshops are
all built very high, this being
done to protect their contents
from theft and fire. Very often
the bigger establishments have
surrounded themselves with high
walls to keep unwelcome Incl
dents and peopla from them =

working man. Uneventful;
without adventures. And yet,
always He made life vivid and
vital, for Himself and for
others. There was about Him
some sense of constant, myS-
terious renewal, of personal
vigor and authority; a fresh
ness and tang which drew men
like a magnet and quickened
their dull, discouraged souls.
His Divine Secret
What was His secret? How,
from such simple sources, did
He wrest such power and
potency? The orthodox will
say that He could do this be-
cause He was a God. But He
was also a man, living the life
of a man, facing the limita-
tions of a man. How, as a
man, was He able to keep life
fresh and exciting?
He was able to make life
exciting because He had the
courage to face life Squarely;
to live life completely; to take
all there was with all that He
had of mind and heart.
Recently, in a sermon, the
Rev. Thomas H. Whelpley, of
New York city gave this fine
picture of that valiant Mind
CHRIST REJECTED IRA
DITIONS-and saw things for
Himself. This He did in the
face of opposition and perse-
cution. To the legalized eccle-
siasticiSm of His day He was
a modernist of the first order
and the arch-heretic of all
time. Christ saw a kingdom
in a grain of mustard-seed;
the Fathers loving care in
the lily of the field; and in
Peter He saw a rock upon
which the church would build"
Thought for Himself
Life was no secondhand af-
fair to that eager, inquiring,
doubling, disputing young man
whom His neighbors called
Jesus of Nazareth. Not for
him the Worn-out dogmaS, the
moth-eaten pesSimiSm and SEN
timental platitudeS of His time.
HE THOUGHT FOR HIM
SELF, ASKED HIS OWN
QUESTIONS, MADE HIS OWN
DISCOVERIES. LIFE FOR
JESUS WAS A THRILLING
PERSONAL ADVENTURE BE-
CAUSE HE MADE 1T PERSON
AL AND WAS WILLING
THAT IT SHOULD BE
THRILLING.
Life may be a thrilling per-
sonal adventure for any man
who will dare to think for
himself, dare to question and
experiment and discover.
You may not be able to
escape poverty OF SICKNESS OF
tragedy. These things are
largely beyond our hnman con-
troll.
BUT NO MAN NEED EVER
BE BORED.
NO MAN NEED EVER BE
STARVED FOR BEAUTY, OR
DENIED POWER.
IN EVERY MUSTARD SEED
THERE IS A KINGDOM. IN
EVERY LILY THERE is A
VISION OF GOD. IN EVERY
MAN THERE IS A ROCK ON
WHICH THE KINGDOM OF
GOD MAY BE BUILT.

ONCE OVERS
Evenings at Home


Mr.. Husband, you may think
that the mere fact that you
remain at home evenings is all
that should be expected of you.
You can see no reason why
you should make any effort to
entertain others in the home.
You have seen and heard
interesting things while at work
but you don't realize that your
family might enjoy hearing
about them.
What a waste of time it is,
just to visit with your wife,
you think.
She should be satisfied that
you are home, though you
sleep all evening. read or do
something else that you indi-
vidually enjoy-so you argue.
You know many men who sell
dom spend an evening at home.
If your wife had such a hus-
band she might have grounds
for complaint.
So you pat yourself on the
back because you remain at
home and do it because you
prefer that to anything else.
Therefore, you stay at home
for selfish reasons.
Your wife. who has taken
care of children all day, would
like to speak adult language for
a change.
Don't be a dead one when
you get home, but make the
home folk happy.
You can do a lot toward
making them happier and home
a more enjoyable place.

Wipe Out 1.-THE Causes
Of Poverty"

In a remarkable nonparti-
san speech at Detroit, Mr..
Roosevelt showed just how
dangerous" he is. The man
actually appeared to feel that
one Of the functions of an en-
lightened, truly civilized So
ciety, organized into govern
ment, is to interest itself in
the welfare of the average
man! Such sentimentality!
Such twaddle! If we could
imagine Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
Coolidge together, and could
conceive of the face of either
being wrinkled into smile,
what merry picture it
would make to see them dis
cussing such amusing "dema-
gogy."
In that speech he showed
in a few sentences the differ
ence between the COOLIDGE
Hoover-Mellon type of mind
and his own when he said:
1.-The philosophy of social
justice through social action
calls definitely, plainly for
the reduction of poverty.
And what do we mean when
we talk about the reduction
of poverty? We mean the
reduction of the causes of
poverty"
Could anything be more
dangerous than that? Much
more comforting to the ele-
ment which has drawn to
itself through governmental
privilege so much, and left
so many penniless and in
poverty, is the thought that
private philanthropy must
let no one starve. But "the
causes of poverty! That is
a dangerous thought. And

The case, involving the question

Judge Kern held that private con-

More Effective Than Old
StiCker Ordinance, Says
Police Chief.

The city of Indianapolis profted
to the extent of $1,152 in January
from operations of the police town
trucks, it was reported today by
Police Chief Mike Morrissey and
Traffic Captain Lewis L. Johnson.
This sum of money was paid by
owners of SIG cars towed to a con-
tract garage from alleys, in front
of fire plugs, theater and hotel en-
frances and other prohibited areas.
Owners of thirty-nine other cars
towed in avoided payment of the
tow-in fee by reason of court YER
diets and errors, it was stated.
Effectiveness of the tow-in ordi-
nance was pointed to by MorriSsey,
who said that the city collected
from 576 out of els motorists whose
cars were towed in, while the city
collected only $741 from stickers,
although $3.50 stickers were issued
during the month.
The report stated that 1868 first
offenders" and one second offender
paid sticker fines; 568 stickers were
ignored and were turned over to
the prosecutor; 615 were used on
cars towed in; l,109 were placed on
out-of town cars and fines could
not be collected, and 563 gave wrong

U. S. FINANCIAL
SYSTEM CALLED
TOTAL FAILURE
Reorganization Is Needed,
Farmers Are Told by
Chicago Expert.

'The whole financial system of
the United States should be reor-
gained" asserted Edward A. O'Neal
of Chicago, president of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation,
speaking this afternoon at the an
nual meeting of the Marion County
Farm Bureau in the L. S. AyreS &
Co. auditorium.
"Our financial SYSTEM" said
ONeal, "has failed us in our time
of stress. we must have an honest
basis of credit and not the so-caued
liquid assets, which have proved
failures"
ONeal assailed the reconstruc-
ton finance corporation, asserting
that it can not accomplish much if
it is controlled by the bankers who
/ already have demonstrated that
they don't know much about money
and credits"
Uphold Golden Calf
"They insist that we worship the
golden calf" said O'Neal. They
want to uphold the gold standard.
They tell us farmers we don't know
anything about money and credits,
but I don't think they know very
much about it themselves.
ct seems funny, too, that in pro-
viding for the expenses for the Re-
construction Finance Corporation,
congress should take the funds out
of the portion that has been set
aside for the use of agriculture. We
farmers always have to pay the bill,
in the last analysis, it seems"
Explains Farm Program
O'Neal explained the legislative
program to which the Farm Bureau,
the Grange, and the Farmers
Union, are giving their united sup
port. The program embodies six
issues, including amendment of the
agricultural marketing act, tariff
adjustment for the benefit of agri-
culture, revision of the federal tax
ing system, a curb on speculation in
farm commodities, Philippine in
dependence, and sterilization Of the
monetary system.
The farmers must get equality
under the tariff act, O'Neal said,
pointing out that the prices farmers
get for their products now are 48
per cent below the pre-war level,
and the prices they pay for things
they must have are 81 per cent
above the same pre-War level.
Coming Over Walls"
GLOW can gold be medium Of
exchange when most of the coun-
tries of the world have no gold?"
asked O'Neal. $50 many countries
have gone off the gold standard
that it is proving far more effective
than any tariff they could have de-
vised. A gold standard country can

State prison trustees argued that
the court had no right to interfere
with trustees, who ARE required to
keep convicts employed at hard
labor"
The Meier company further al
legged that the state was competing
unfairly with private concerns and
indirectly affecting private labor.

lower prices than the plaintiff can
allow, the suit charged.
