It was pointed out that at present there are 522 licensed motor carriers (loins business over the highways 01 the state, probably as large, if not J a alrgi r number, than in any other state. Of this number, 210 are large passenger busses, carrying anywhere I from 10 to 30 passengers each; 299 are Sedans or touring cars in regular bus service, on roads where the busrinoss does not warrant a large bus, and S3 are trucks, doing passenger and freight service. Attention was called to the fact that six years ago there were not more than six large passenger busses in the entire state. The combined mileage of these blisses is estimated at 95,000 miles a day, and the combined equipment represents an investment of $3,000,000.

June 22.?A "persecution of education" in China has progressed to such a point where any student or teacher displaying independence of thought is likely to he arrested as it he wet-, a criminal, charges the Nationalist organ, "People's Tribune," which is published in English in Peking. According to the" Tribune, a regular I hunt is being conducted in education-1 al institutions for the alleged purpose of eradicating bolshevik influ ence, but the term bolshevik is subject to such wide interpretation that the ban on free thought has spread beyond all reason. "The systematic searches made in educational institutions and the fear of arrest has caused actual panic to spread anions educators, and many have fled in order to escape the danger that they believe awaits them," declares the paper. "This persecution of educationalists is going on !n spite of the fact that Marshal Chang Tos-lin has made it known that he bears no animosity to the educational world and has no desire to harm the students or teachers in any way. It must be supposed that this declaration was not made sincerely or that his wishes are not being obeyed in Peking. Entering into discussion of the underlying causes of this unruliness, the Tribune finds that their opponents feel students should not engage m | politics, but should stick to thetr I studies. It uninese siuuems eueagcu I in "rags" as in England, there would be only indulgence, but their elders object to the fact that the students and teachers "keenly take to heart the condition of their country and are urged on by a strong desire to improve it," the paper believes. The Ballenger Company have recently installed new fixtures for their men's clothing department. Large forces "are busily engaged in the construction work now going on at Lake Lenier. Miles of hard-surface roads are being built, and the building of the new dam is also in process. ? fO PAGES IL TODAY Thirty First Year ^ve Cents Per Copy f Car Leaps Over Railroad Enbankmsm And Struct By Train Mrs. Turner Killed, Miss Fife Died at 7:45 This A.
