1 | R N A S b F T i s e FAGE EIGHT ROOTED DISLIKE FOR JAPS _ Chinese Look With Suspicious Eyes on Actions of the Subjects of the Mikado. It was in the quaint, terraced city of Foochow, China. The bearers of my sedan chair pointed out to me a fine gray building against the hillside and exhausted their collective store of English trying to tell me what it was. - “Japanese hospitul,” said one, with a knowing air, as if he could say more if ‘he would. “To cure sick Japanese?' 1 asked, wondering whether there was a suffi- clently large colony to support an in- " stitution of such size. It took some time for this question to percolate through their heads. When at last it did so, there was more excitement in their answers than mere statements of facts would warrant. “Japanese make Chinese well, Japa- ‘mese say ‘Chinese man—him very sick; must make well.’” There was inarticulate sarcasm in their manner. At last onme of them found the English he was after, and came out with it: “Japanese no love Chinese man,” he said. “Then why make Chinese man well?” It seems that Japanese were begin- ning to realize that American philan- thropy, represented by the missions and by the Rockefeller foundation, was creating good-will for the United States. So they, too, decided to become philanthropists, and some flne Japa- nese hospitals for the Chinese were the result. The Chinese, however, still distrust the move. They cannot be sure that it has the genulne unselfishness of Ohristian propaganda. They tell tales about machine guns concealed in ‘e hospitals and soldiers who recon- moiter by night. I never heard these rumers substantiated, but I did meet a seemingly benevolent young surgeon and a Japanese nurse with the sweet- est face in the world.—Marjorie Bar- stow in World Outlook. WORE OLD DUTCH HEADGEAR Rechester Woman Excited Comment By Appearing in Court With Ple- - turesque Adornmant The costume of Mrs. Julia Vos in a Rochester court excited much atten- tion. Mrs. Voe is the grandmother of two children over whom there was Htigation after the parting of their parents. The aged woman is a na- tive of Frieseland, Holland. She appeared in court with an old Dutch headgear that would have de- Hghted the heart of the painter Van Dyk. On thie sides of her coiffeur ‘were two thin gold plates bound tight- 1y to her head which kept her halr pressed close above her ears. The plates are slightly. concave, of the finest old burnished gold and fitted the contour of her head. Over he gold plates was an old Frieseland lace bonnet, ivory colored from age, a treasure of her maiden days. The lit- tle frilled lace visor in front of the bonnet was a marvel of the lace mak- er’s art, and a G-inch frill made of some stiffened material like -malines net fanned out behind her neck and over her shoulders like a ruffle of Sir Walter Raleizgh. In a quaint observ- ance of the customs of the land of her adoption Mrs. Vos had surmount- ed her artistic headgear with a fla- grantly black high-cocked bonnet. The old world touched the new on Mrs. Vos' head. with the artistic odds gfiully' against the new. Search for Finer Wool. ‘The possibility of developing new sourcer of fine wool has been sug- gested. Referring in Nature to a new mearch for the golden fleece, Prof. J. C. Ewart of the University of Edin- burgh states that the first domesticat- ed sheep in Iiurope were undoubtédly introduced about 7000 B. C., and that pearly pure descendants of this an- cient Neolithic breed—a urial, Ovie wiegnei—still survive on the small un- tohabited island of Soay (Sheep is- land), near St. Kilda. Crosses be- tween Sony and Southdown sheep yield excellent mutton, with wool of remarkable strength and quality; and the late discoveries indicate that crosses of the urinl with other wild types may yield still finer and more beautiful wool. These discoverles in- clude that of wool forming the inner coat of several of the wild sheep of Asia. This wool is longer than that of the Soay sheep, and decidedly finer than and quite as white as superfine Australian merino, regarded as the finest and whitest wool in the world. Causes of Thunderstorm. Two kinds of thunderstorms are generally recognized—one due to heat and usually local, and the other ac- eompanying the squalls forming in the southern sectors of low pressure areas. A third type, “storms of cold,” bas been lately added by a French me- tecrologist. It occurs as cold air trav- els southward into a region of high temperature and southerly upper winds. The clouds forming the south- em limit of the cold wave develop thunderstorms, which are carried morthward by the upper south wind, ¢his traveling backward through the zone of cold air.

STILLWATER COMMUNITY MARKET VOTES INCREASE The annual meeting of the Still- water Market Co., was held last week Tuesday in Community Hall, and it was a largely attended and enthu- siastic event. The annual report showed the Market had done over $509,000 worth of business in 1919, and though the year had not been quite so profitable as former years, owing to the Higher prices paid the farm. ers, and the increasing ovirhead ex- pense, the year turned out on the right side of the ledger.

Morri- son of Copas, which gives Copas, that growing branch, representation on the board. L. Simonet and E. B. Rehder were elected to succeed themselves. It was voted to declare the usual 6 per cent dividend,-and the checks have already been passed out, making every recipient happy. It was voted to increase the capital stock to $50,000, and to increase the amount of indebtedness permissable to that sum. The enormous‘volume of business transacted on a paid-in capital of about only $16,000, was wonderful, but it was the opinion of everyone that more stbck must be sold, to in- crease the company’s funds on which to do business, and it was left to the directors to devise ways and means to sell this stock, but one thing is certain, it wlll be done by the farmer members themselves. One of the happiest features of the meeting was the dinner served by the new Community Service at noon. part of the expense of which was county. fee, and applie 'pie, listened- to some good music by the Sherman Bros. and! song by the high school boys quartet and then listened to an address on marketing problems by H.

Wilson, beautiful wife of a San Francisco newspaperman, for the murder of Charles Brown, wealthy young sheep raiser, was to commence here today before Superior Judge McDaniel. 6y bs Difticulty in obtaining a jury was anticipated because of notoriety given the case. Jointly charged with the slaying of the rancher is Frank McCormick, the woman’s brother. His trial is to follow hers. Sister and brother fired simultan- eously at Brown November 1 on the Lynch ranch near here, which just reviously had been purchased .by QV‘flson. The shooting followed a quarrel. Mrs. Wilson declares she fired to defend her brother. Evidence introduced at the inquest tended to prove a bullet fired from McCaxt- mick’s gun ended Brown’s life. The prosecution will attempt .to show Mrs. Wilson slew Brown while in a jealous frenzy because l}er younger sister Mrs. Florence H_om_ml, had supplanted her in his affectious.
