CHINA'S PROBLEM
The disturbances in China are the result of an afvakened
condition mental and industrial. Her contact Hth the
Western world through commerce and education ; has given
her a new vision of life and she is striking wickedly, men
acingly at'the shackles of 'industrial slavery and superstition
which has held her bound for centuries. " ! : '
. The present warfare is brought about In part by the
selfish greed of foreign capita which is invested in Industry.
Men, women and children are employed in these; and other
competing employment agencies' at thV slave's wage hil-
t dren as young as eight years from 4eight to twelve or more!
j hours a day, seven days & week and' for a I few Miserable
i ' pennies a day. This is exploitation of the most dangerous
'type in an awakening age. : : Jfji - f.t:l !
Students with ever widening vision and i steady growth J
" of independence are emboldened by this condition ; which
forces their fathers to toil in 29 leading industries .t a min
i imum of one and a half and a maximum of fifty cents a day
and their mothers to accept, wages ranging from pnelto seven
teen cents a day. They are beginning to see the reat dis
parity between the western and their own industral condi
tions. They agitate, they revolt and the -revolution spreads
-beyond the bounds of control and reason. It has become a
menace. It is .destroying both life and property, i
But this and every other revolution ; must cease. ,The
desire to destroy the present and to usher in a nejw era of
larger industrial and " educational freedom1 must find a less
destructive means of gratification. t 1
Americans and others now in China on missionof legiti
mate business, education or benevolence must be protected.
China must be given opportunity! to solve her own problems
bo long as she can do so without unnecessary sacificesof
life and property. When she shall have fount! the right way
to progress she will work out her own higher desny. In
the meantime the United States must insist on thai protec
tion of our citizens and property whichj is in keepingwith the
rights and dignity of a free and progressive republic. -

ELECTRIC SERVICE
One farm in ten in Oregon is equipped witH
or gas service. Fifty percent of the farms have
service and seventy-one percent own automobiles.
Independent plants for "electric lighting are in
limited number of farms. These plants are generally popu
lar but do not supply the general demand for cheap fight and
power. ' ' ' . -'.-; ' ' l u j; ; -" .
Hydro-electric power sufficient "to light and t0 furnish
energy for driving the labor-saving machinery of every, home
in Oregon awaits development here. s 't . .4
i "' A great revolution in the use of electricity in rui;al places
is coming and with it a greater movement toward riral life.
J .By means of electricity the farmer? will be rejieved of
many ardous. tasks now required of him. It wilV-junp the

THE WAY MADGE "JOLLIED"
' MRS. DURKEE HOME IN
BETTER SPIRITS
I looked at Mrs. Durkee closely
to find out what thought lay be
hind her continent upon Dr. Fox
ham's farewell words to her.
Was she apprehensive that she,
too, like the soldiers she had nam
ed, might not "come back" if she
followed his advice and went un
der a surgeon's knife? f Or was
her speech simply a flippant mask
for the nervousness which I knew
was shaking her?
Whichever it was, I knew, that
my cue was to ignore it, and 1
took the surest way. of changing
the tenor. ,of her thoughts.
It would be a Joke on me," I re
marked with apparent uneasiness.
if that taxi shouldn't be in front
after all my assurances to you
that it would." !
"Oh, Madgel" She caught her
breath, changed her walk to a
funny little trot, dragging me with
her. "Hurry till we see. I'll
never forgive myself for leaving
those suitcases in the cab."
Yes, you will,"! smiled, as I
stepped ahead of her, and swung
the street door open, "for here are
the man and the cab, both ap
parently intact.' I am sure the
suitcases are equally safe."
Mrs. Durkee Announces Her Plan.
"I won't be till we get a chance
to open 'em," Bhe replied darkly,
but I was relieved to note in
a subdued key. "He had a chance
to drive somewhere near and take
out everything, he wanted. Look
at him closely Madge, he looks
bulgy to me."
She had" the grace to whisper
the laat words, 'but-they set me
off into irrepressible laughter, and
I saw the cabman glance furtively
at me. as if be suspected me of
insanity. , . '
. "I don't see anything to, laugh
at," she whispered pettishly when
we were safely in the taxi, with a
thick glass slide between ourselves
and the driver.' ' "He does look
bulgy. I'll bet , he's got Dicky's
dress suit wrapped around him In
side of his coat this minute."
The evident sincerity in ' her
voice, the wrathful belligerence of
her manner, set me off again, and
I laughed until she always the
possessor of unruly rlsibles was
compelled, to join me.
;- "When we get to the station,
I'll i grab "him - by. the collar - and
hold him while you search him,'
I proposed gravely, after I recov
ered my breath.
"Imly!" wish I had the nerve
to do it," she retorted, then added
with apparent irrelevance ti "What
time is it!" and 1 knew that her
fussing concerning the taxi driver
was at an end. - .
"Ten minutes of?"
"Do you suppose we can. make
that 3:10 to Marvin?" .
"I am sure we can, barring some
traffic Jam, which isn't likely.'
; "That will be fine. I do so want
to get home and out of this rig
before Alfred and Lelia reach the
house. And don't you peep about
seeing me in the city. I'll hide
Dicky's suitcase so they won't sus
pect anything." , ,
"But,- I protested, dismayed,
"surely you're going to tell them
about Dr. Foxholm'a advice." '
"Eat, Drink and Be Merry"
"No, 1 I'm rtot," she said, "but
YOU are. I'll give you plenty of
chance after dinner. But I don't
want to be anywhere around when
you talk about It. I'll I'll do
anything Alfred thinks best, ; al
though I do want to wait until Dr.
Pringle gets back to see what he
thinks about me. But I want Alf
red and the rest of you. to go
ahead and make any arrangements
that are - necessary . and tell me
about it only when you're ready.
I'm going to forget the whole
thing from now on--that Is, when
the pain will let me, and have the
best time going. What's that old
verse eat, drink and be mer
ry " --: vT: ; '
"Stop It." I said with an assum
ed pettishnesa I hoped would be
effective. "You're enough to give
anybody the horrors. Even if you
do have to go to the hospital you'll
be there only a week, and eyeryi
body gets over operations nowa
days. It isn't fashionable to do
anything else. And Juet think
what an interesting invalid you'll
be. I hereby promise to bring or
send you something pretty every
day until you're well again."'
"Look out. You may be bank
rupt." she warned, but I saw that
the idea had caught her fancy and
that she was revelling in it as
would a child.
"Then I'll gather all of 'em you
haven't eaten, and have an auction
to retrieve my fallen fortunes," I
said lightly, and was rewarded for
the banal Jest by a peal of genu
ine laughter.
.For the minute, at least, I had
succeeded in banishing her mor
bid fears, and, indeed, I saw -no
further sign of them during our
railroad Journey to Marvin, nor
the ehort taxi ride to -the Durkee
home.. - ;' ) -'" ' .': .-j,

spirits as ,welrew-up to the house .j
