emergency hay crop, how a ton litter
is produced, forestry planting, cow
testing association, three year’s re-
sults and presentation of National
Dairy diplomas to 300 per cent. herds,
boys and girls potato clubs, ete. Fol-
lowing these reports R. H. Bell, of

gram,

Interesting Talks at Mothers’ Assist-
ance Fund Conference.
Only six counties were represented
out of the seventeen connected with
the central region in the mothers’ as-
sistant conference held in the grand
jury room in the court house, last
Friday, this being the sixth of a ser-
ies of intercounty meetings held this
year throughout the State.
Miss Mary F. Bogue, State super-
visor of the mothers’ assistance fund,
presided, and the object of the meet-
ing was to create sentiment in favor
of a larger appropriation. In fact
they have already decided on asking
for $4,000,000 for 1927-28. Miss
Bogue reviewed the policies and aims
of the mothers’ assistance fund and
stated that 3500 dependent mothers
with children under the working age
are being given assistance, but there
assisted by Rev. W. J. Wagner, burial !
CAMPBELL.—Joseph Campbell, a
Thursday at the Centre County hos- |
are 2400 other mothers, equally eligi-
| ble, who cannot be helped because
‘there are no funds to do it. Some of
them have been reduced to pitiable
‘straits in their efforts to keep their
little homes and families together.
Facts and figures supporting Miss
Bogue’s contention were supplied hy
Emil Frankel, statistician of the De-
partment of Welfare. An outline of
the educational campaign now being
waged to secure an increased appro-
priation was given by Arthur Dun-
ham, secretary of the child welfare
| division of the Public Charities As-
"sociation. In his talk he said, “If we
can tell the story of these needs as
we know them, there will be no ques-
tion of lack of response on the part |
of the public or the General Assem- |
bly.”
As stated above, only six counties
were represented at the conference
{the delegates present being as fol-
lows:
Clinton county—Mrs. Sydney Furst and
Miss Katherine Coek, Lock Haven.

sumers of milk, but also to the pro-
ducers. Mr. Irwin, of the State De.
partment of Health, who has the su-
pervision of the State's milk supply,

circumstances adverse to the general
public health. All members of the as-
sociation, as well as all persons inter-
ested in public health work, and es-
pecially with reference to milk supply,
are urged to attend. Dealers in milk

LIFE A DAILY TURMOIL
IN FAR OFF CHINA LAND.
Mrs. North Tells Some of the Sum-
mer’s Diversions in the Flowery
Kingdom.
Chungking, China, Sept. 20.
Dear Home Folks:
I know you must be especially con-
cerned about us now, if accounts of
recent events here have appeared in
the home papers. Life in China is
certainly anything but monotonous.
We never know one day what may
happen the next. In fact, only last
Saturday most of our women folks in
the city were all packed up and ready
to get on a steamer and go down the
river that afternoon.
Out here in the country, however,
we were so ignorant of conditions in
the city and across the river that we
didn’t have time to pack when the
message came saying the city folks
were getting ready tc leave. Ignor-
ance is certainly a bliss here in China,
many times.
But I must go back to the begin-
ning. Ever since the shooting affair
| at Shanghai, which resulted in most of
! the British having to go down the
river a year ago, the Chinese have had
it in for the British. You see there
are quite a few British firms here in
Chungking and they operate steamers
on the Yangste river. The steamers
have been a thorn in the flesh ever
since they appeared on the river, but
the British-owned ones seemed to be
the most obnoxious. It is quite a
favorite stunt of the soldiers to fire
upon the steamers as they go up and
down.
Just at present, General Yang Sen,
| who was Governor of Szechwan when
we were in Chengtu, and to whose
home we were invited when we were
there, is in charge of Wanhsien, the
first city of any importance below
Chungking. It is quite a strategic
centre, as it is at the entrance to the
gorge as you go down the river. Well
several weeks ago one of the British
steamers, the Wan Lin, sank a boat-
load of soldiers, so the Chinese say.
According to the captain of the Wan
Lin, the soldiers tried to stop the
steamer in order to get on for a free
passage up the river, which is a com-
mon stunt of Chinese soldiers. When
the captain refused to give them pas-
sage the soldiers, of course, fired upon
the steamer, and the captain put ou
full steam ahead and probably did
sink the junk. Anyway, that’s the be-
ginning of the rumpus.
General Yang Sen then proceeded to
fire upon and hold up all British
steamers at Wanhsien. The British
gunboat demanded the release of the
steamers under penalty of firing on
the city. The Chinese soldiers on shore
then began firing on the gunboat and
the latter opened fire on the city and
j did considerable damage. Several men
on the gunboat were killed and ten or
more wounded, while the report is
that seventy or more Chinese were
killed.
Well, you can imagine what a mess
that stirred up here in Chungking,
which is noted as an anéi-foreign and
particularly anti-British ‘centre. All of
the patriotic organizations of the city
got together and decided to boycott
the British as they did last year. On
Saturday, September 18th, a big dem-
! onstration was held in the city but the
British had departed that morning on
a Standard Oil steamer—an American
boat. It still remains to be seen
{ whether they will get past Yang Sen
{and Wanhsien. Fortunately, they had
i some time in which to get ready so I
‘guess most of them took what bag-
! gage they wanted with them.
The British council is in Wanhsien
| and the American consul has been re-
i sponsible for the British in Chung-
king. Saturday morning he received
word that a riot had broken out in the
British community across the river,
and realizing that if things got so bad
that the American gunboat would
come to
have to interfere in defense of the
British that the Americans would be-
come involved also. Consequently he
sent word to the folks in the city to
be prepared to leave at four o’clock
that afternoon.
A meeting of the mission folks was:
held at which it was decided that the
women and children should go and the
men follow later, if necessary. Mr.
Peat sent a man out to us with the
news but Mrs. Rape and I decided
we’d trust to the Lord and our Chinese
teachers to see us through safely and’
we’d stay with our husbands. We:
didn’t make any preparations to leave
and Bill and I went down to Rape’s
for a Chinese dinner. While there an-
other note came from Mr. Peat saying
that the consul had been misinformed
concerning conditions across the river
and we shouldn’t prepare to leave
right away. Of course we all felt
relieved, as we wouldn’t have had an
exactly easy feeling if all the folks in
the city had gone off.
Our Chinese teachers say that there
is nothing for us to worry about, that
there is no ill-feeling at all against.
Americans. Certainly everything out
here in the country is calm and peace-
ful enough and our students seem to
have a very fine spirit. But enough
for this time.
Mrs. W. R. NORTH.

the quarter ending October 1st, to-
taling $4168.09, are ready for collec-
tion. And further that $6000 insur-
ance had been placed on the new pump
building, which with $3000 on the
equipment, makes a total of $9000.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported the fire at the Johnson home,
on Saturday, and . also that the fire
alarm is out of order. The committee
was instructed to have the same re-
paired.
