MORE ABOUT FENG, CHINESE CHRISTIAN GENERAL
J
In ihis corner of The Statesman of last Sunday, there was a
sketch concerning-the 'work of General Feng, the Chinese Christ
ian general;,?'. . ' '. .Z. V I .
;i On the isame day,-in their Market street church building in
alem the Free ; Methodist church forces were holding their
6regon Annual conferencef and Rev. E. P. Ashcraftf &, mission
ary from the Hunan province, China, Free Methodist Mission,
vrhile giving the principal address at a public missionary meet
ing, gave some interesting side lights on the character of Gen
eral Feng. t r
The Statesman readers are indebted tov It ev."W N. Coffee,
district elder of that church organization, f Or the following re
port of that address, as touching upon this outstanding Chinese
leader; furnished upon request:
4 Among other things, he said that of an army of 20,000 soldiers,
9000 of them were real Christians with personal experiences, that they
read their Bibles and prayed, and that as they came Into the province
they came singing "Onward Christian Soldiers." ' -.-f
.f They commonly sing gospel hymns as they are about their work,
lir. Aehcraft was closely associated with General Feng for about six
months and esteems him as one of his choicest friends. '
i He has a picture of Ibe General and a book, personal gifts of
friendship from the General.- - " J I
For four months Mr. Ashcraft was employed to regularly instruct
two hundred of General Feng's officers, in the Scriptures. Having
thus opportunity for close observation, he remarks that. from a Christ
ian standpoint the General's life is exemplary in every way and that

tv The population in that part of China is .600 to the square mile.
At best the country does not pro&ace enough to feed "the people prop
erly, and many never know what it is to have all they want to eat;
hence the alarm at prospects of a famine,, for It means certain death
jo multitudes. r " ' " : '''-.
& While the people were greatly exercised over the outlook, Gen
eral Feng made a proposition to the people. '". r "
; Firstthose who believed In God were to fast and pray every day
for a week, then, secondly, after that time he and his followers would
pray for rain. The people cooperated with him and he took his
20,000 men and went out into tne piain to pray, uenerai reng. na
ling upon an improvised platform, read the Scriptures. . Rev. Mr. Ash
craft prayed, and. then General Feng, with the self abasement of a
I Moses of Sinai, pleaded with God to lay not the peoples sins upon
Ahem, because they were ignorant of the true light, but to lay their
tins upon him. They went out to early prayer and closed their meet
' tag at 9 o'clock, and a( 11:30 rain was pouring. His faith is implicit,

before the people his leadership
cannot be attacked. There is go
ing to be a good deal of scurrying
to cover and a good many efforts
made to' burn the records or at
least distrust them.
To a large extent the issue in
the approaching campaign is to
be between the president and con
gress, and there are indications
that congress will get the worst
of it. The peoplo have been tak
ing Coolidge's measure and,
broadly speaking, they see in him
a president of courage, prudence,
sound thought; one who Is in
tensely honest. Intellectually and
otherwise, and straightforward in
the presentation of his policies.
On the other hand, they see an
obstructionist congress, lacking
constructive cohesiveness and un
willing to follow the constructive
counsel of the administration.' ;
Some of that obstruction has
come from the democratic party,
but that was to be expected. That
is the political game. The people
expect that and make allowance
for it. But opposition from re
publicans was another matter.
There was nominally a republi
can majority In congress, but not
a. real majority. The president's
policies were opposed and defeat
ed by members professing to
march under the same party ban
ner with him.
The -country Bees that the presi
dent has not had a square deal at
the hands of congress; and repub
lican representatives and senators
who deserted him and made align
ments with a democratic-radical
coalition will find that they are
coming home to a' resentful constituency.
seem to . have been disturbed It
Is the old practice of throwing to
the law refuse and expecting it to
be satisfied.
It is a ' travesty on Justice to
send a poor little bell boy to Jail
for the offending of his employer.
It Is un-American, it is unfair, and
it does not track with the demand
we are making for a square deal
for the boys." ,
Elsewhere in this issue appears
an article from The Dalles Chron
icle on the primary. The first
three-fourths of the article is com
mended to our readers as good
common sense, and the last is
recommended as'being as finished
a piece of demagogery as can be
found in Oregon and that Is say
ing a good deal. The article
reasons well at first, but at the
end the snapper is as unfair as
anything a Portland man Could
devise. ;
All will admit it was a glorious
rain. The drought was not as bad
as many made out. When a man
is used to having a drouth every
year it was small change, but to
people whose surroundings have
given them the name of "web-
feet," it possibly was pretty bad.
The humid weather the last three
or four days has acted the same
as rain The moisture in the at
mosphere has given new life to
everything and all agree it was a
glorious rain. '

We think that the case of I.
R. M. Pierce, former prohibition
officer, is being over-emphasized
and magnified into boorishness,
unjustified by the real situation.
As we understand It, Pierce went
to a home of a law violator who
for some unscrutiable reason ! had
been paroled to him. He Just
made a social call. Now Pierce Is
original and in some ways a social
aon-conformist. He has an idea
that if he wants to change the
social custom it is his business to
do so. He did make a change in
this instance; he took off : his
shoes. ' It. has been a, long time
since we indulged In the habit of
making these social calls upon the
ladles, but the agonies that we
sometimes endured by tight shoes
remains like the odor of roses
around the shattered I vase or
sometimes the odor of, tho feeW
for that matter. . '
we insist mat .fierce being a
mirror of fashion and the center
of precedent has a fight to in
augurate a new social custom, and
unless boys have changed a good
deal in the last 50 years, a good
many of them would welcome the
relief thus secured.
It is estimated that 50,000 tour
ists have been to Oregon' so far
this year. That is a very good
showing, and so far as we know
they are ; all satisfied. There Is
a lot to see here and people ere
the better for seeing it. ' . ;
Possibly one reason why some
men get along better with their
stenographers than with their
wives Is that )he ethnographer
takes dictation. .

A GENTLE HINT.
Editor Statesman:
From time to time magazines
feature the trials and tribulations
of families living In the country
who are pestered by city company
during the summer time, when
fruits, flowers, cream and fresh
egjss and possibly fried chicken
make such a visit enjoyable to
said city people. But it is no joke
to the farmers' or' their women
who are extremely busy with their
very necessary toil Which is in
creased by the presence of out
slders, or It is at least seriously
interrupted by their untimely ap
pearance, as practically all of them
come without an Invitation. - One
o; my neighbors is constantly on
the anxious seat asr visitors from
twn may appear at any minute,
while none of these people called
upon his family while the family
lived within a few blocks of them
in the city., It is often after 10
o'clock when the milking is done,
as these town people hop into their
cars' about 6 or 7 o'clock and ar
rive at the farm just in time to
interfere with the important
chores of the day, that is milking,
feeding and shutting . up little
clilckens.
A feature of these visits is the
number of persons, total strangers
to the hpsts, that they manage to
crowd into their car, . and prac
tically none of them ever drive
up to the house some bright
morning and say, "Hop in my car,
my country friends, and let , me
take you for a drive, since you do
not keep a car."

Our inquisitive reporter yester
day asked this question of four
people chosen at random:
"Now that the development of
cunieform inscriptions has been
identified and registered as both
polyphonous and . ideagramatic,
what do you . consider the best
means of curing a wart on the
third finger of the left hand?"
Bill Beach, awning hanger:
Well, at least I can say this
much. Bo. I ain't never yet had
my thumb prints taken.
Frieda Hull, teacher: "Perhaps,
but it depends more or less on
what the population of this city
was in 1893."
A. H. Callan, mehcanic: "If you
mean Ida O'Rann, the cashier
down at Spieler's, I never noticed
no warts on her left hand."
Percy Perl, interior decorator:
But you can get the same effects
with lilac hangings, and orchid
cushions to match would be just
too sweet. ?

HOW TO MAKE VACATION MONEY
Practical Ideas for Boys and Girls
The rule for today's vacation
money-earner . Is: Don t over
charge. It is the surest way of
driving away business and de
stroy possible future profits. Just
remember to do your work In the
best way at a moderate price,
then the results will be satisfac
tory to both you and your cus
tomers. In summer when there are no
furnace fires, people want their
radiators painted. There is an
idea for .a good way to make
money. AH you need . is a few
cans of radiator paint which you
can get at any paint dealer's or
hardware store. Putting it on Is
no trick, at all.
Wallpaper cleaning is another
fine summer occupation. Bread
dough or even flour and water
dough made into a roll works like
a big eraser, taking away the dirt
and leaving the paper fresh and
bright underneath.
Girls who are successful cooks
may work up a. business baking
big, juicy, fruity, genuine home
made Dies. It won't be hard to
get regular customers If the pies
are really good ones, baiaas are
another field for money rewards.
If you let people know that you
can supply salads for Sunday eve
ning suppers, the housewives will
fairly flock to your door. You
may be a salad expert for special
dinners and parties too. Be very
sure that your salads look as at
tractive . as they taste. Special
ways of sending them out and
clever garnishing will help much
toward selling your wares.
Greasing automobies is a busi
ness that pays quite well. Men
who drive their own cars and have
their own garages are very willing
to pay for this service.
Repair and keep typewriters in
condition. Business men should
be glad to let somebody look over
all their typewriters every month
at a. stated fee. .
A girl might also make and sell
taff led apples. The taffy is made
by melting together brown sugar,
butter and water. .The apples are
put on the ends of smoth sticks'
and then dipped in the taffy and
allowed to dry.
NERVE
Wigg: "Say! More than one
ncrson has been guilty of mutilat
ing the books I lent him, but my
latest experience caps the
climax."
Wagg: . "What was it?" .
Wiee: "I lent Blank my dic
tionary and yesterday he returned
it without a word.
THE MAGIC LIQUTD
Here's another, magic stunt.
Boys and girls keep writing in to
tell me to print .more magic, so
I'm going to keep, right on doing
it. , If you don't : like it. write
enough letters- and I'll change.

If you do like it, write me letters
and 111 keep things the way they
are. .
Show your audience a plain
piece of window, glass. When
they have finished examining it
and know that It is not "trick"
glass, tell them that you will
now perform a marvelous contra
diction to science, ' ;
Take the . glass, immerce it
wholly in water, and take a pair ;
of heavy shears and start cutting :
it. It will cut all right if you have
the whole thing under water. Of '
course you must tell the audience .
that the water is a magic liquid '
which makes the glass cutable.

You Can't Beat tlie Law
Laws are made by God men write statutes
Sir Isaac Newton said that his greatest dis-
covery was the law of action and reaction.
Let us apply a modern example:
The action: Last year canneries bought
all the Royal Anne cherries in sight at ten
cents a pound.
The reaction : People stopped buying can
ned cherries because the price was too high
and substituted lower priced commodities.
The result: Large stocks still on hand and
lower prices -for the new crop.
Last year, pears sold to the canneries for - - ,
$25 per ton. j
Result was a ready consumption of pears
no left-over stocks hish nrice of 50
per ton for the new crop.
The law of supply and demand is implac
able. ' . 7 .
When either packer or producer attempts
to take itrin his bwn1 hahds he plays with"

This is a day for understanding- when
you are ready to sell your crop give heed
