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, WADE D. BOSTICK. Po Chow, Anhwei, Dec. 19, ’24. 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 Progressive Farmer “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. TRUSTEES HALE OP HEAL ESTATE.
