t| MISSIONARY BOSTIC TELLS JOURNEY
THROUGH AREA OCCUPIED BY SOLDIERS
i Dear Mr. Editor:
| Now wnile so much is being said
about anti-foreign and anti-Christian
| fooling, I want to report a trip I have
I just had, at every step of which I had
i occasion to feel thankful for the. way
1 was treated.
When Kaifeng was vacated on the
anproach of the now governor, Hu, and
* Wu I’ey Fu and the Honan soldiers
I went south, it caused n feeling of un
j easiness at Kikung san, where our
children were at. school. A wire came
asking me to go for them. When I
knew that the way was. in parts, in
fested with bandits and Other parts
with those disturbed soldiers and when
f knew that there was no regular
train service, I started out feeling
that I had a most difficult task be
fore me. Rut I reached in one day, by
Ford, the railroad west of us, 360
li from here. And while there were no
regular trains the station master as
tired me that, lie would do his best to
e<- that T was able to get. along and
in a few hours I was on a train going
toward Kikung. When I reached Sin
vant'ehow. I found that between there
and Kikung, about 25 miles, the flee
ing soldiers were halting and could
go no further on account of the Hu
pp.v soldiers standing in their way. I
realized that there was particular dif
ficulty in getting any further. Hut
here again the station master was
helpful and soon had me on the way,
in the train of a special military de
pot’/. So with but little delay I reach
ed Kilning iust in time to inform the
friends of the condition and stop them
from hasty flight to Hankow, as they
were much exercised on account of re
port, thev had gotten.
Just at this time the students that
were to go south were leaving in a spe
cial ear, which had been received in
cennepuenee of VVu Pey Fn’s kindness.
Then as there were no trains to bring
os hack north, we were wondering
when we might get back, hut again
with the helpful attitude of the sta
tion master anil a word from Wu Pey
Fn. wo were soon on a snecinl train
with a militarv deputy and had a good
trio back mi the railroad.
When I had reached the place of out
Ford and readv to drive neross coun
try for home, there was the word that
Ohowkaiknw had just been looted.
And as this was on our homeward trip
I was fearful of that trip. But after
a few hours wait, we started out,
passed Ohowkaikow in safety and had
a good trip home. When we reached
Cbonchowfu, 15 miles from Chowkal
kow, the gates were closed, having
• been so ever since the looting of Chow
t'-'ikow, four days before. But our mis
sionary friends, inside the gate, soon
had the gate opened and gave us a
good dinner, after which the "ate was
opened for our departure, and bv dark
we had finished the 3f>9 li in the, one
day, end were at home, with the feel
ing of thankfulness to every one along
t'1*’ wev that we had had anything to
do with.
■'lift one ot tnc number of incidents
Unit I could tell to show the friend!!
opss of the people, was our dinner. We
had n delay between Finynng-Chow,
and Sintlen. which put us at a place
whore wo thought we were going to
have to do without dinner. There
wore many soldiers, (the fleeing ones)
and I had seen no one selling food and
could find no food place, till finally 1
"uw a soldier eating boiled potatoes.
,1 asked him if there were some to be
■ bought and he said yes, pointing m*
j to the '-oiler. When I reached the sell
jer he had only a few left, all of which
I purchased. But before I had taken
iheso nnd started away, a soldier with
his gun, stopped up and asked if l
wore hungry. And I could hut say that
1 was, so he asked the to come with
him and lot him give me some Chi
nese bread. I insisted that I would
ho alright with the potatoes but he
insisted on my accenting the bread.
So ho climbed upon the car and hand
ed out to mo by the hnlf dozens, bis
cuits enough to fill my pockets. Then
nn officer who had seen us and shown
himself friendly on the train saw me
and would not take “no” for an ans
wer, hut urged me into his quarters
for a hot. dinner. Not on all my trip
did I see .» single soldier or any other
person that appeared ugly, smarty or
unfriendly in any way toward us.
There are many conflicting reports
about Wu Pey Fu, what he is doing1
etc., I heard that lie was sick and j
maybe near death. But since he has!
been on Kikung a number of confer
ences with the missions have been
granted, two of which were about the
transportation of the school children.
He seems anything also but sick. How
ever I heard no one who aeemed to
have any idea of what he might do or
what his plans are.
It is said that nearly 10,000 of Wu’s
soldiers, when they left Loayanr.
enme east on the Lung Hai railroad
and are now at Yung Cheng. Yu
Cheng, Dang San, and Sha I, behav
ing themselves, it is said, but still
holding onto their arms. It seemft
that they are hoping that thoy may
be taken into the regular army. It cer
tainly is hoped that some method may
be used to prevent their becoming
robbers.
Fast and north of Yung Cheng is a
territory fully terrified with robbers
now these last few weeks. There not
being any more wealthy people to
carry off. it is said that the robbers
have declared that they would take
anyone that would be worth a box ol
cigarettes nnd many who own leea
than ten acres of land have been tak.
on and held for ransom( And the most
cruel treatment that I have ever heard
of has been meted out recently. It la
said that one old woman wu taken,
and when redeemed, she was dead
with the body so mutilated that she
could be recognized only by her cloth
ing:. It said that skinning alive is
an occasional occurrence. This cruel
treatment mostly upon those of the
self protection society, with whom the
robbers are very angry. Forty li north
of Yung Cheng, wo have a school. A
week ago the robbers were in the
community and were chased out by
this society. In a little while others
were added to the robber band and
they turned upon the protection socie
ty and chased them back to a small
walled town and burned it. The re
sult was, so they now report, that sev
en villages were hurned, two hundred
persons killed and many taken away.
Ouv school teacher, one pupil, the
father and mother and an uncle of aTN
other pupils were all killed. This is ih
the parts where the three provinces
corner and it has always been an easy
place for robbers,

TENANT AND LANDLORD
SHOULD UKOW ORCHARDS
Mnny farmer* do not have home
orchards simply because they figure
that they may not he on a place long
enough to realize anything from set
ting fruit trees. This is an unfortun
ate situation because every one living
o:i a farm, whether owner or merely
renter, or share eronper. should have
a liome orchard. It is not fair to the
former md his family for him to have
to do without these. Therefore, some
arrangement should be made between
landlord and tenant wherebv a tenant
jiii'rht have the advantage of an orch
ard.
Rome arrangement that would put
heme orchards on farms that are rent
ed or share cropnod would make those
farms very much more sought1 after,
and vorv much more valuable pot only
to the tenant, but to the landlord.
Our suggestion is that the landlord
furnish the tenant with peach, apple,
plum, dewberry, raspberry, straw
berry and other fruits for setting. Let
the tenant or renter do all the work
of setting, pruning, spraying, culti
vating. haresting, etc., for half the
fruit. The landlord, of course, will
furnish the land, the fertilizer, spray
pump, spray material, pruning tools,
etc., necessary to produce pond fruit.
If for any reason tenant or landlord
would not care to enter into an agree
ment for growing these fruits that
take a long timb' to bear, then they
should at „.l.cQst jprow.. some of those
that bear quickly such as blackber
ries, raspberries, dewberles, strawber
ries and grapes. .All of these except
garpes will proditre full crops the *ec
oq ^«iu sadoaff Maj a pun juo/f puo
expected then from the vines that are
properly eared fnr.
An arixuytcnwnt of this kind would
certainly have a tendency to make a
renter or tenant, more satisfied and
more likely to stay on a place. To say
the least of it, the tenant or renter
would have very little to lose in an
arrangement of this kind and a great
deal to. gain. Certainly it would be a
good business proposition for the land
lord.
In short, it wopjd be a case of
"bends I win and tails you lose” for
both parties. Muv wo, therefore, sug
gest to both landlord and tenant-ren
ter folks that some some such arrange
ment be worked out and a home orch
ard started this fall or winter?—The

“JUMP STUDDY”
—
New South
Carolina Kick
Yorkville Enquirer.
After it has been in use fo>- some
time, police have learned the formula
or recipe, for the concoction which is
known among the negro populace of
Greenville as 'jump studdy,” which, to
sav the least of it. is intoxicating.
The peculiar part of this post- Vol
stead Intoxicant is that it is hawed on
a liquor which is poisonous as well as
intoxicating.' Jlut the negroes drink
it, get drunk1 on it and'apparently nev
er suffer any ill effects. This basic li
quid can hi? purchased at any drug
store. It is denatured alcohol; the kind
that is used in automobile radiators to
prevent freezing. And on every bottle
that is sold there is the ‘skull and
cross hones' label indicating that the
contents of the bottle are poisonous.
And here is the formula for making
‘jump studdy.” Tnkc a quantity of
wood alcohol (radiator alcohol) and
pour It into a battle. Then pour in
some ginger ale, or some kind of a
aoft. dring which is based on carbon
ated water. Place the thumb over the
moUth of the bottle and shake. The
shaking will cerate gas and the thumb
will bo blown off the bottle with a
popping sound.
Thu* the riegroe* say that the drink
is made. They profess that the ‘pop’
which follows the shaking kills all the
poison in the alcohol and therefore
the shaker has an intoxicating, alco
holic and. non-poisonous drink.
Police are unable to believe that this
so called ‘pop’ will destroy the poison
in the ilcohol, but yet they know
from experience that the negroes
drink the stuff, get on a jag and do
not die.
In many raids recently police have
confiscated cans of ‘jump studdy’ and
the drink seems to be quite popular
among local blacks. A can of the fluid
bears an odor similar to an automo
bile radiator, all fixed up for severe
winter.
