The copy for this book must be in the hands ot i the printers within a very short time in order to insure I distribution of the directory in November. All patrons whose name or address was listed incorrectly in the last book, are requested to call the local off ice and notify us of the change in order to obtain the proper listing. - - «* II Illi .Wl - - ‘.i" m All rural patrons, whose route has been changed or who have moved to another route should also notify our office of the change to assure them of a correct listing.

receive a foreigner in their homes and it is nearly impossible to become well acquainted with them. Their obvious conversational reticence is slightly less than a rebuff. 1 failed dismally in an attempt to learn their intimate ways; neither could I find an American that could enlighten me. To substantiate my contentiou that one Pity is much like another, let us fol.ow the licet trom Shanghai. n an th to t'hefoo, where the destroyers hold their regular sum mer maneuvers, over a period of eiglit to ten weeks. Chefoo is comparatively small, having not more than twenty thousand inhabitants. It is completely surrounded by high, domineering mountains. The buildings are low and squat-like, obviously many of them have survived many ages, by their general appearance. The streets are very narrow and huge streamers, with advertisements of Chinese wares, flutter low in the breeze, reminding one of a carnival. The streets are of cobblestone and asphalt; the asphalt has long since worn away leaving a surface of protruding rocks. Since they have very little level ground on which to grow their food they utilize the surrounding mountains by cutting terrace-like steps on the sloping sides. They plant rice on the flat surfaces and allow water to back up in little holes that they dig for that purpose. When the long dry spells come, they open the p > ,!s to flood the rice.' Each year they hold a Dragon festival to drive out the evil and unfriendly spirits. The ceremonies may last for a day or a month, ceasing only after they are sure the devils have fled The festival begins with a magnificent display of fireworks, - after which they don horrible looking costumes and parade around the countryside, beat ! ing drums and chanting weird | nasal hymns. If they fail in fright-1 ening the evil spirits it means a I IMMir year for their various crops; , draughts come, or heavy storms pouring down the mountain sides wash the fragile plants away. If they succeed with the necessary pandemonium the devils flee in fright to other lands and leave them to bumper crops. Overlooking the village, far up on the sloping mountainside, once stood a giant Buddha; though the l original has long since been destroyed, the spot is' marked today by a fascinating architectural monument. There is a very co'orful legend connected with the •structure. Following is the story! as it was told to me by the ship's tailor, whose confidence I gained; by telling him the wonders of our , own country. Some centuries ago, ft seems. before an accurate account of local history was kept, the mer- j chants erected a huge Buddha, so large that it could hold the sins; of al! their people. The rarest of] gems were imported from distant shoes to grace it's sacred cloak, and the bronze for it's figure was hand chiseled. After many years of wearisome toil the mammoth "god" was completed. Every citizen of the-village attended the dedication. Each proffered his most prized possession as an offering, after which they knelt and asked that they be cleansed. While they were on their knees, in the midst of the prayer, their ears were deafened by a thunderous roar, and they turned to find themselves surrounded by a vast army of bandits wito had swooped down out of the hills, obviously intent upon plundering the bejeweled Buddha. The villagers scattered in terror and none were left to protect it. Out of the bedlam came an old, bedraggled wont an who carried an ax, and she raised her hands to summon volunteers. A score of the braver ones came forward and seized chisels and axes left by workmen. Together they destroyed the large body and hurled the pieces at the advancing bandits. By some miracle, probab'y because the invad ers were frightened at having parts of a god thrown at them, they fled and were seen no more. (To be Continued) Get the Habit—-Treae at Home
