Work Relief Takes Shape
Work relief plans are taking
shape. It is thought that perhaps
half Of the four billion dollar ap-
preparation may be spent within a
year.; Harry Hopkins, relief adj
ministrator, turns out to be cit" as
was predicted in this column months
ago. He heads the Work Relief I'd

is chairman of the allotment COM

and the funds apportioned among
those areas, rather than by con-

WASHINGTON, May % =
The president of the United
States, whoever he may be,
seldom hears the truth. Some pres
idents resent having the truth told
to them if the facts do not fit in
with their ideas or the policies which
they are trying to put into effect.
Other presidents have striven earn
estly to learn the truth but have
been so surrounded with Eyes men"
and advisers who have their own
axes to grind that they have failed
to get true picture of the state
of the public mind.
In some such language as has
Just been set down, President
Roosevelt's sincere well-wishers are
seeking to explain his recent ex-
pressions Of distrust of the patriot
ism and sincerity of business or

some Of the measures which he is
urging upon congress, and some OF
the experiments which have been
made by the government in the past
two years.

Mystery Solved

Tuesday evening the mystery was
solved much to the relief OF all the
high school students. AT about
o'clock all the students met at the
lunch room. All the juniors and
seniors came in a body to ward OH
any scheme that any Of the other
classmen might have to play on
them.
At 8:15 Miss Everson appeared on
the scene and told us that she was
the cause of all the excitement and
that she had planned a treasure
hunt for the high school students
she gave each OF us map OF the
town and directions telling how TO
iget to the first clue of the treasure.
After this clues were found from
the top of the hill above town TO

SHOULD LIMIT DAIRY COWS
TO SIZE OF THE FARM

PULLMAN - Limit the number
of dairy COWS to the size Of
of the farm, advises the State Col
lege dairy husbandry department.
Many farms are so heavily stocked
with cattle that enough roughage
cannot be raised on the place.
A system of dairy farming de-
pendent upon purchases Of feed
rather than the home growing of
feed, is usally regarded as unsound.
A good practice Is to limit the
amount of stock to the hay, silage
and pasture that can be grown in a
poor year.

word. What lay behind Yang's
refusal?
While he was trying to de-
eide what to do Yang rose,
ushering him into the passage
way, where Stephen saw to his
surprise four square tables in
a row stretching from the open
front of the building back to
the door leading into the court.
Chop-StickS, porcelain spoons,
saucers with watermelon seeds
and little flat cakes were on
each table, and men, dressed
in silk without the protecting
cotton gown, were coming in
between the rows of onlookerS
gathered outside.
"A feast this early in the
day! What is the purpose?"
said Stephen to himself, as he
met them all, the Lings.
Yangs, Wens and Hos. II
must be on my guard" he
thought.
He pulled his stool well in
toward the table, for the pas
sage was congested. Servants
were trying to get by him with
their small pewter teapots.
One leaned over his shoulder,
filling the thimble-sized porce-
lain bowl at his place with
warm kaoliang wine.
The hot, steaming dishes OF
food began to appear. Yang
arose and with his chop-sticks
lifted a choice bit of meat,
placing it in the saucer before
Stephen. other choice morSelS
before the other guests. Ste
phen watched as, with polite
sucking sounds of satisfaction,
the heavy lips Of the men
closed over the morSelS.
It was not until mid-after-
noon that white rice piled high
in individual bowls was served
the customary sign that the
feast was over. But even this
brought no release. Pots of
fresh wine were set on the
tables, the cups were filled, and
Stephen realized that the men
were settling down to the wine
game.
VEJSII EI,,uXy
This pastime had been car
ried on only in desultory fash
ion throughout the hours of
feasting. but now the drinking
began in earnest. The men
set their feet squarely on the
floor, knees apart, the skirts
of their silk gowns carefully
gathered around their waists.
Each turned toward his neigh
Dor, his partner in the game.
Every mans right fist was
raise d. then broug h down
sharply as from the closed fist
one or more fingers shot out
and each man shouted his guess
of the number of fingers his op-
ponent had thrust forth. If he
lost, he must drink. The game
was to see who could remain
sober the longest.
The game grew to a wild fury.
The clipped numerals beat upon
Stephens ears; the delicate, fly
ing fingers flickered before his
eyes. At last Yang'S partner
slept, his head on the table. At
once Yang turned to Stephen.
Desperately he tried to throw
out his fingers with that light
ming speed, but he was not
match for Yang, and the drink.
ing fell to him continually. Was
there some special desire to get
him drunk?
He braced himself for the Or
deal. He simply must keep so
Der. Once, twice, Yang had to
drink. but Stephen many times.
He could not hold out much
longer.

could not eat eggs again.
Tomorrow surely Kin could
find him a bit Of beef, maybe
some vegetables. He wondered
what they had here.
Get water for q bath" he
commanded. But first give me
the coffee"
He seated himself on the edge
Of the k'ang, drinking quickly,
then threw off his coat, his put
tees. When Kin had placed near
him a brass basin in its four
legged stool, Stephen motioned
him away. mo, I don't want
any help, Kin. There are no
more affairs. Shut the door as
you go out"
Swiftly he finished undressing
and dipped his sponge into the
hot water. Lifting it, dripping,
he scrubbed his chest, his arms,
his legs, taking delight in the
freshness of his skin. For sew.
eral days he had had to sleep
in the common room Of the
inn; there had keen no small
inner apartment where he could
battle.
A Sound
Beneath the Staccato count
ing of money and the clicking
accompaniment Of the abacuS
balls as the head men itemized
the days receipts. Stephen de-
tected a soft rustling as of many
moles moving. Then he heard
a sound like the popping Of a
cork and looking at the window
he saw the newly frayed edges
of a hole in one Of the paper
paneS.
The ever-curious crowd, intent
on seeing the white man. If he
we're at an inn he'd shout for
Kin to drive the intruderS away,
but here in this shop where he
wished to do business. He
looked about for some other
means of privacy, saw the XII
mono he had adopted as sleep
ing apparel since he came to
Manchuria and with two safety
pins fastened it to his bed net.
making a curtain behind which
he could not be seen.
In the candles dim flame,
how white his body looked! BE
cause my hands are 80 tanned.
The tan's BETTER" Then the
thought suddenly struck him.
"Why, I don't believe the Chi
nese would be white if they
could" Finishing his bathing
he crawled carefully under the
net.
The court and the shop in
front were quiet now. He took
. bundle of letters from under
his pillow. They were folded so
that he could read quickly
what he wished most to read.
His electric torch illumined the
words stephen. I want YOU"
Then he looked at Lucy'S pic
ture; her head like q miniature
set in the circle of light, her
large, gray eyes, the odd, indie
cisive curve of her mouth, the
whiteness Of her skinner black
hair enhancing the whiteness of
her forehead and neck.
At last he slept.
CHAPTER 2
Stephen had been in confer
ence with Yang an hour before
the merchant reached the end
Of formal conversation and
came to the matter that had
brought them together.
Il hear that your excellent
company wishes to find an
agent here to sell the new
light. I would like to recon-
mend my friend, Wen Hou.
He is a big merchant. My
miserable business Is small"
This was q situation Stephen
had not foreseen. The infor-
nation which had come over
the grapevine Chinese tele-
graph had been that Yang
wanted to be agent, and such
information Stephen had un-
derstood was more accurate
than the written or spoken

final few minutes. The closing was
firm. Transfers aggregated $4,000

Principal grains showed late rally

wheat were Is to Is cent a bushel
higher. although corn developed in
dependent weakness and ended low

rallied brisk,y from the low Of the
day. Bonds were hesitant and for

The brisk upturn in stocks attract

the peak figures. but leaders were
sufficiently resistant to retain a ma

sudden popularity Of the utility is
