Clement L. Kline, Representative For The Heine Boiler Co. of St. L.ouis, Describes Life In Orient. Hotel Lengmueller, Mukden, Manchuria. Sept. 25, 1925. Dear Folks: An American, who works Jor ihe General! Electric Co., and myself have been up here in Manchuria, all of this week. We left Shanghi last Saturday and came part way by boat, the rest of the way by train. At Dairen, a port just 12 miles from Port Arthur, we had a weait of nine hours between boat and train. In order to see as much as possible we hired an auto and drove over the city. There are both Japanese and Chinese living in the city but it is territory belonging to China. Every city in the Orient is different, some have modern buildings and paved streets, while others are nothing but shacks and dirt streets. Dairen is quite modern in many Trespects, but all the modern things were put there by Russians when the city belonged to Russia. The Japanese took it from Russia, then one of the Peace conferences gave the whole of Manchuria to China. Tsingtoo, a harbor on the way between Shanghi and Dairen, once belonged to Germany and is the finest laid out ecity in the Orient, and not second 10 many of the cities in the States. The Germans lost the city to Japan during the last war, in spite of the wonderful fortifications that they had built. We went to see the fortifications and it was a wonderful pece of construction ana military work. The Washington Peace Conference gave the city back to China to whom it once belonged. It is teo bad to see such a wonderful city of beautiful buildings and streets go (o ruins as it now is in the hands of ‘Chinese. The beautiful homes are beginning to be a mass of filth. Mukden, is an old Russian town but now a part of China. Both Chinese and Japanese live here, but Chinese in the majority. The city is pretty well laid out and there are some nice buildings here, but they were built by Russians, the same as in Dairen. My traveling partner and 1 were through the Chinese section this afternoon on our way (o a power plant. It was a sight to see the natves in their shacks and business places. No doubt they are living in the same manner that their ancient ancestors did back in the early ages. One of the temples that T saw is over 300 years old. | The only way of getting around is by rickshaw or one-horse hacks. There are no street ears and only a few busses. T doubt if there are over 300 automobiles in the city. For hauling they use horses or donkeys hitched to two-wheeled carts. T have seen several oxen used, too. : The people use a great many. walls, most every place to live in is walled in by a brick wall 9 or 10 feet high. In the Chinese sections which are newer, the houses arnl built in groups with walls around them. Some parts use mud wells and still another part has a double wall about 30 feet nigh. They do hot | trust one another and use walls as safeguards. | The peoble are too superstitious to advanee, and worship their amcestors back as far as 75 generations. It is going to be a long time before China becomes a Christian nation unless there are greater changes in the coming generations in passing from one to the other than the appear-. ances show changes to have been Inl the past. | There surely are sights to see and ‘ wonder at. North America was discovered four hunderd years ago, Yet it is a wonderful place compared to this part of the world which Wwe read about in history way back hundreds of years before the beginning of the Christian Era. People who complain’ about life in the U. 8. are doing so because they really do not know how the rest of the world lives. Having to live here would kill Americans off like flies—l mean if they had to live with and like the Chinese do. 1 Os the two I prefer Chinese to Japanese as a people to get along with and most trustworthy. 1 can‘i appreciate what the missionaries are up against who come out here to carry on work. A missionary who! does conscientious work deserves every help that can be given as the‘ life and task here is surely saecrificial enougzh for an Eternal <Crown without having to beg for mone.v} and other things to carry on thei work. | Next week we are going up farther north where 'we will be very close to Russia. After a few days up there we will start back to Shanghi by wayv of Pel:in, the captiol of China. I hope that this finds you all in normal health. There is no need to worry about me because I shall get along quite well and probably be home in a sex months. | This is a German hotel. We have German food and fine bhels No Chinese around except as help. Yours, Clem.

‘ | NEW FACTORY WILL 1 ; southern M#ls Products Co., Picks Walke€rton As Most Desirable Place Fop Its Factory. Walkerton is to have a new industry within the next few weeks if the preliminary arrangements al-| ready made and agreed to can be taken to mean *anything. The Southern Mills P’roducts Co., now operating at 9 North Franklin street, L‘hi—" cago, have practically deecided 1o move their plant to Walkerton and only a few details of the arrange | ments are lacking to complete the deal and these have all been agreed to in conferences held between representatives of the Southern Mills | Produets Co., and directors of the Chamber of Commerce and the| Business Men’s Enterprise. ! The new factory, whch will occu-’ py the building recently vacated by | the Walkerton Ladder & Manufac-' turing Co., and owmed by the Business Men’'s Enterprise of V\'alkor-ll ton, will manufacture white cotton | and linen goods speclalties such as aprons, waiters’ coats, table covers, | ete. They will employ women and| girls and expect to begin operations with at least 20 employed, after the plant has been fully equipiped and | a few girls taught to operate the| machines., '4 The Southern Mills Produets Co. is | comparatively a new organization, | having operated in Chicago for about | one year. In moving to W’alkerton.! they are seeking to obtain lower | manufacturing costs, as the line of‘ goods they make is highly competitive. Not -only do they seek lower rents but what is of more import ance, steady help. They have been greatly handicapped in Chicago by | the ‘““floating’ help, girls and women who work a few weeks or monuths and when they are becoming profi- | cient, seek another job. ; According to Mr. Rubison, Tras-| urer of the Company, who has been | in Walkerton several times lnvesti-“ gating conditions here, their help will earn from $15.00 to $20.00 per week, swith the average making about $20.00 to $22.50. The fact that there was an overall factor_vi here and that there are many wo-| men who worked in it, anxious to: get employment again, was one of the big deciding factors in loecating the plant in Walkerton. Many other towns were considered by the company but none of them offered the! advantages that Walkerton has. i The Southern Mills Produets Co., in coming to Walkerton did not ask a bonus. The Chamber of Commerce has agreed to defray the moving expenses of the plant from Chicago to Walkerton, while the DBusiness Men’s Enterprise will equip the building to mea2t the needs of the company. - Complete arrangements for moving the new factory to Walkerton will be made within the next few days, it is believed, and it is prob-‘ able that the plant will be ready! for operation by January First. !

L. H S. Girls Play Whirlvind Game And “'in 26 to 10, On Walkerton Court. The two Lakeville high school basketball teams, playing sood, clean ball furnished the opposition to the W. H. S. teams at Walkerton last Friday night, before a large 'and enthusiastic crowd of fans. Several loyal Lakeville boosters follows ed the teams to Walkerion and none were disappointed at the brand of basketball played. The girls’ game, which is usually considered a curtain raiser 1o the “big game’” which always follows, came near being the main attraction because of the speed and determination displayed by boih teams. While the Lakeville girls had the advantage in experience and knowledge of the game, yet the Walkerton lasses put up an excellent contest and made the visitors earn all their points. Honors of the game go to Miss Fuchs, Lakeville Jforward who scored all but 4 points of | the 26 made by her team. Miss Horltense Shirley, Walkerton forward, was high point girl for ike home team, getting 8 out of the 16 oints lmade. Lire up and summary: Walkerton i.akeville ' Johnson F Hodson Shirley F Fuchs Studley C Seider Nusbaum & Logan Griffin G Barkley Griffin, J. G Shupert Substitutions: Winner for Nusbaum, Casey for Winner, Winner for J. Gritfin, J. Griffin for Griffin; Heinbaugh for Hodson. Goals: Johnson, 1; Shirley 4; Hodson 2, Fuchs 11. .

L. H.S. 11-W. H. 8. 32 In the second game of the evening the Lakeville boys displayed some clever floor work, but their inability to hit thru the loops, the final test in any game of basket~ ball, eaused their defeat. Time after time they worked the ball down the floor only to lose it when a goal seemed inevitable. The Walkerton boys on the other hand were hitting on all five , as every man, even Sheaks, the back gunard swished the netted loep for counters. Logan started the scorinz but was followed quickly by Bierley. Leogan repeated and Bierly counted ‘egain. Dietl shot a free toss for one point,and Hornung rang up iwo more.
