MISSIONARY TELLS OF NEW YEAR CELEBRATION C. P. O. Box No. 1234. Shanghai, China, Feb. 15. Dear Editor:—We are in the midst of the Chinese Big feast—Chinese New .Year. Every one's birthday comes on this day. Should a child be born on even the last hour of the last day of the old year it would be two years old on New Years. New Year came on Sunday, February 10. Every store was closed. All work stopped. But it was not quiet! It was like many Fourth of July's in one. Oh! the fire-crackers!! At mid night I was wakened by a vast broad side of large and small fire-crackefs and they kept it up for days. In the morning the ground was covered as by red snow—the "confetti" of ex ploded fire-works. Fire-crackers are but a part of the feast —the noisy part. The last day of the year every body is busy—the men at closing up their accounts. All bills must be col lected and all debts paid. Woe be to the man who does not pay his debts. The women are very busy. The house must be made as clean as a pin and decorated, and the brooms hidden — bad luck if they appear on New Year. Before the New Year sun ris es all kinds of food must be gotten ready! Guests —many will come dur ing those days and they must be feasted. Few people see slumber the last night of the old year. But when the sun rises, calm reigns over the house-hold. As one walks out be tween 6 and 9 a. m. the whole town is asleep. Sunday indeed! But ex citement arouses them and about 10 o'clock you'll find the streets alive with people dressed in their best bib and tucker" and you hear, "Kong Hyi Fah-dzai" —"Congratulations and abounding wealth to you," shouted from one to another. The closed doors are plastered with appropriate say ings written on blood-red strips of paper. Go to open spaces of the city and see crowds encircling puppet shops, acrobats, monkey performers, squirming dragons, entertainers of all kinds, and pedlars of sweets and children's toys—Vanity Fair! Go to the temples and you find thousands burning incense and candles before all the idols, praying for wealth, old age and bliss. One interesting god connected •vith the New Year is the god-of wealth which is worshipped especial ly on the sth—his birthday. The money spent on fire-crackers in his honor would pay China's national debt. Few begin work again until he is properly worshipped. Another is the kithen-god. He is a paper god and sits over the stove in the kitchen I where he spies on the doings of the family for a year. On the 23rd of the 12th month he is given a big feast. Sweet syrup is put in his mouth and he is put in a beautiful paper sedan chair and burned in glor ious style, accompanied by fire works—which is sending him to the Upper-god to report on their years' doings—all this fuss and sweetness is to bribe him to speak well of their family to his majesty. When he re turns on the last night of the old y ear — a new idol is bought and plac ed with little ceremony—in the old nich —it will be a year before he reports again—why "taffy' him now? Next to idol - worship gambling takes a big place in New Year cele brations gambling everywhere! What they eat and drink, and the fire-crackers, and gambling, all, in some way or other, symbolize or point to the sound "Kao-sen" —excel- sior ! in the sense of rising high in wealth and station—especially in wealth. It's indeed a wonderfully in teresting time, and is indulged in ev en by beggars—for they receive a harvest of alms. The Nationalist Government order ed that Chinese New Year should not be observed this year. It might as well have tried to turn back the greatest tidal wave of history! Na tional commands stop the observance of Chinese New Year's customs?! Only the conversion of these people THE FOREST CITY COURIER, TH URSDAY, APRIL 4, 1929 to Christ will stop this idol worship' and lead to the worship of the true j God. And to us the glad part of itj is that each year more leave the false ] and adopt the true as the Chinese one j by one are born anew. We are notj discouraged. Pray much for China, j Kindest regards and best wishes. 1 Yours in Christ's glad service, (Rev.) H. G. C. HALLOCK. HENRIETTA NEWS Henrietta, April Ist. —Prof, and Mrs. W. M.

C., April I.—lmproper feeding is the greatest cause of poul try mortality among the farm flocks of North Carolina. i "Out of 1,800 sick and dead birds | sent to the State College poultry dis ease laboratory for study, over 22 percent die from diseases of the di (gestive tract," says R. S. Dearstyne, j research poultryman. "Nearly 16 ! percent died of diseases of the gland } organs; a little over nine percent died of nervous trouble and about 9 per cent of respiratory diseases. The per centages dying from other troubles were successively smaller. It is ap parent, however, that disorders of the digestive system may be the primary cause of death in several of these groups. At least 48.1 percent might be attributed to this cause." In his studies, Prof. Dearstyne found a seasonal tendency for the oc curence of respiratory and septicemic diseases. He also found that mortali ty from nutritional diseases had a j seasonal occurrence which may be i traced to a lack of green supplements j during the time of the year when ac jtuai green feed is not available. \ The studies made by Prof. Dear • styne will represent general condi tions and not isolated cases for it is j rarely that a poultryman sends in . specimens to the laboratory unless the [ conditions becomes epidemic. The occasional loss of a bird is not viewed with any alarm and sometimes this at titude is carried to such an extreme ;that a large number of preventable j deaths in the flocks makes it un • profitable. Death in the poultry flock , does not confine itself to any distinct j age limit though carelessness jin incubation may be a factor in the j death of young chicks and even j adult birds later. The causes of death in poultry flocks is discussed quite thoroughly in Bulletin 264 of the North Carolina Experiment Station recently publish ed at State College. Those who wish copies of the publication may have them on application to the Agricul tural Editor. Concerning people who like the sound of their- own voices, J. W. Sanders observes that the steam that blows the whistle is never used to turn the wheel. Service with a smile at the new hardware store. CINDERELLA'S Exquisite Footwear On The Square Shelby, N. C.
