The new rulings, according to In

Contract holders still will be re

may plant other parte of their farm

by the extension men as followa: A
contract holder with a 100-acre wheat

Be Clean And Polite'
Instead of attempting to tackle the
nation's morals on all fronts. General
Chiang has stressed the virtues of
cleanliness and good manners In the
first year of bis campaign.
Government official have carried
this two-headed gospel Into every
village of central China. Outlying re
gions of the country have taken up
the movement less thoroughly.
Travelers are met on every hand
with evidences that the movement
has become a vital force. Trains on
the government railways, once no
torious carriers of dust, grime and
vermin, are spotlessly clean.
In the cities, the streets and pub
lic places which formerly were re
ceptacles of filth, are swept and
scoured with astonishing frequency.
At banquets, two sets of chopsticks
are provided for every diner, so that
the guest will not have to serve him
self with the same set of sticks with
which he eats.

but where "new life" has been push-
ed, personal habits of the people
have shown a definite change for the
better.
In order that the campaign may
be understood even by Illiterate per
sons, the "new life" gospel has been
translated Into hundreds of simple
commandments. These Include such
admonitions as: "Brush your teeth
daily I Don't gamble! Keep your coat
buttoned! Avoid Intoxicating drinks!
Don't wear elaborate clothes!
Blue Laws' spring t'p
In many towns and villages some
of the regulations have been Incor
porated Into "blue laws."
. At Nanking, for Instance, the mu
nicipal government has forbidden
barber-shops to operate halr-curllng
machinery, because artificial waving
of hair Is considered out of step with
the Spartan simplicity advocated by
General Chiang.
At Pelplng. It has become unlaw

I was working way late at the
office one night and ran out of cigarettes.
When Jim the watchman came through
I tackled John for a smoke.
"Sure," says Jim, and he handed over
a pack of Chesterfields. "Go ahead, Mr.
Kent, take three or four,"
Jim said he'd smoked a lot of cigarettes
in his time, but he'd put Chesterfield up
in front of any of 'em when it came to
taste.
. . . "and they ain't a bit strong either,"
is the way Jim put it.
That was the first Chesterfield I ever
smoked. And I'm right there with him,
too, when he says it's a ding good cigarette.
