Adds To The Suffering Of The
People. .■■-V-..
(Continued from last week)
After supper we went witb Mark B.
and tbe district superintendent wbo
w»* also there to «call on the bsieo
official wbo might be callae^£be bead
. man of a county at home. "We sent
in oar cards and waited a -while outside to find whether be would receive
as or not. Shortly after J"we*were invited in and ushered into his presence in a small inner room. One of
the party had forgotten to carry bis
cards, so in place of bis we used one
of nay English cards while I used my
.: Chinese card and it mattered not.
-Mr. Brown and tbe D. 8. talfced over
some matters relating to famine relief with him and it was fun to see
tbe air of dignity and pomposity
with which he clothed himself.
About 8:30 on Wednesday morning
we hoys started ont in Chinese carts
to see tbe conditions in some of the
nearby villages where tbe famine
conditions were more marked. After
-going abont 7 miles over tbe rough
roads in tbe bumpy carts, we came to
a little village of. about 750 people.
' We stopped first to see tbe little dav
school of 40 pupils wbich is. being
carried on in - tbat place by our
church. Tbe pupils are taken abso
iutely free of charge as tbeir parents
have no money this year and will
likely later on have *,to be supported
through tbe relief agencies. Tbe
government is doing nothing in that
region and if it were not for one
church working there, the children
would bave no chance to study.
While we were there, a big crowd of
villagers gathered about in curions-
ity, not having anything else to do.
We asked tbem about their crope,
etc. For answer, tbey brought us
some coarse cakes of millet od tbe
out side and with ooiied tree leaves on
tbe inside. Tbey also showed us tbeir
granaries, partially tilled, not with
grain, but with leaves which tney
bad gathered from the trees in the
fall, and al*o with weeds which very
much resembled our Canadian thistle. These are what they are eating,
mixed witb a little coarse millet
they bad bought ehewiere as their
crop was a failure. These people are
anxiously awaiting tbe distribution
-of grain wbich our workers will make
later. » - . ~"
From tbis village we went oa an-
-other two or three miles to anotber
village wbere tbere was also a school
much as tbe other. Here tbe people
are worse off tban tbe first village
visited. Just to see the people, one
would not know that tbey were famine stricken as there were none who
were aick, emaciated and famished
as yon perhaps remember famine
pictures from India to show tbem.
Bnt wben one looks deeper, be can
see tbat there really is famine as
tbeir larders are empty and tbere are
no cattle, mules, horses, donkeys,
pigs or chickens to be seen about
tbeir places, for tbey bave eitber eaten tbem or sold tbem to bay grain.
In some places whole villages are deserted and the people bave gone
somewhere else, looking for work or
help. In others only the women and
chilaren are left, the men having
gone elsewhere in search of work and
living. In some places tbe people in
leaving have torn their houses partly
down in order to get tbe wood of tbe
rartery, she 'windows aau uoofs isd
' to as* tt as fuel or else to sell it .and
tomboy a pittance ot grain. Id this
particular region tbev report that
tbey have not bad a good orop for
eight years and one knows thai tbtre
has not been a good one for at least
fcbJfM fa*M as this region w*a hard
bit by the Hood which covered that
part of the province three yearsLago.
Wo passed through a higb dike
which was erected to keep back - tbe
waters At tbat time, and the land
where we were traveling was very
level and tbe water was from four
to seven feet deep over it. Naturally
any person or institution attempting
relieTMn such a region is very popular and the preachers have bad many
applicants for church membership,
bus tbey have made it a rule tbat
tbey will not sven receive a . parson
aa aprobationer until after tbo {amino ka relieved by a' orop in the spring
•and Shore ia oo noed for roliaf.

Tbe attention of City Olerk Rogers
bas been called to tbe /fact tbat many
aged residents had died in this city
of late and be bad tbe curiosity to
get somek figures, lie finds that the
combined ages of the 2-1 persons who
have died in tbe past ten months are
1801*^ years or an average of 66>£
years. This does certainly seem like
a remarkable showing.

Tbe -'Golden Jubilee" of tbe local
lodge of Knights of Pythias celebrated
on Tuesday evening was a great success. Everything passed off as planned and tbe work was creditable
throughout to all connected with it.
At 6:30 the Pythian Sisters served
Supper to tbe Grand Lodge officers
present and to a considerable part of
tbe membership of the lodge and
many invited guests. Following this
a class of 24 candidates were initiated
into the rank of Page. Grand Lodge
officers filled the offices of Chancellor
Commander, Vice Chancellor and
Master at Arms, the remaining positions being filled'by the/local officere.
The work was very impressively done
and we want especially to commend
the great improvement in tbe work
of the local officers. If all will master the work as well as those wbo
took part on this occasion, tbey will
constitute a team of which the lodge
may well be proud.
Following the initiation, the four
Grand Lod*e officers present, with
some local assistance, put on tbe play
of •'Friendship^." illustrating the well
known story of Damon and Pythias
on wbicb the order is founded. ~"
Tbe lodge is certainly booming, a
number more candidates awaiting
initiation. '.

Adds To The Suffering Of The People. .■■-V-.. (Continued from last week) After supper we went witb Mark B. and tbe district superintendent wbo w»* also there to «call on the bsieo official wbo might be callae^£be bead . man of a county at home. "We sent in oar cards and waited a -while outside to find whether be would receive as or not. Shortly after J"we*were invited in and ushered into his presence in a small inner room. One of the party had forgotten to carry bis cards, so in place of bis we used one of nay English cards while I used my .: Chinese card and it mattered not. -Mr. Brown and tbe D. 8. talfced over some matters relating to famine relief with him and it was fun to see tbe air of dignity and pomposity with which he clothed himself. About 8:30 on Wednesday morning we hoys started ont in Chinese carts to see tbe conditions in some of the nearby villages where tbe famine conditions were more marked. After -going abont 7 miles over tbe rough roads in tbe bumpy carts, we came to a little village of. about 750 people. ' We stopped first to see tbe little dav school of 40 pupils wbich is. being carried on in - tbat place by our church. Tbe pupils are taken abso iutely free of charge as tbeir parents have no money this year and will likely later on have *,to be supported through tbe relief agencies. Tbe government is doing nothing in that region and if it were not for one church working there, the children would bave no chance to study. While we were there, a big crowd of villagers gathered about in curions- ity, not having anything else to do. We asked tbem about their crope, etc. For answer, tbey brought us some coarse cakes of millet od tbe out side and with ooiied tree leaves on tbe inside. Tbey also showed us tbeir granaries, partially tilled, not with grain, but with leaves which tney bad gathered from the trees in the fall, and al*o with weeds which very much resembled our Canadian thistle. These are what they are eating, mixed witb a little coarse millet they bad bought ehewiere as their crop was a failure. These people are anxiously awaiting tbe distribution -of grain wbich our workers will make later. » - . ~" From tbis village we went oa an- -other two or three miles to anotber village wbere tbere was also a school much as tbe other. Here tbe people are worse off tban tbe first village visited. Just to see the people, one would not know that tbey were famine stricken as there were none who were aick, emaciated and famished as yon perhaps remember famine pictures from India to show tbem. Bnt wben one looks deeper, be can see tbat there really is famine as tbeir larders are empty and tbere are no cattle, mules, horses, donkeys, pigs or chickens to be seen about tbeir places, for tbey bave eitber eaten tbem or sold tbem to bay grain. In some places whole villages are deserted and the people bave gone somewhere else, looking for work or help. In others only the women and chilaren are left, the men having gone elsewhere in search of work and living. In some places tbe people in leaving have torn their houses partly down in order to get tbe wood of tbe rartery, she 'windows aau uoofs isd ' to as* tt as fuel or else to sell it .and tomboy a pittance ot grain. Id this particular region tbev report that tbey have not bad a good orop for eight years and one knows thai tbtre has not been a good one for at least fcbJfM fa*M as this region w*a hard bit by the Hood which covered that part of the province three yearsLago. Wo passed through a higb dike which was erected to keep back - tbe waters At tbat time, and the land where we were traveling was very level and tbe water was from four to seven feet deep over it. Naturally any person or institution attempting relieTMn such a region is very popular and the preachers have bad many applicants for church membership, bus tbey have made it a rule tbat tbey will not sven receive a . parson aa aprobationer until after tbo {amino ka relieved by a' orop in the spring •and Shore ia oo noed for roliaf. - Continnod next weifc. > MANY AGED Residents Of Clare Die In Past > Tea Months. 7 " Tbe attention of City Olerk Rogers bas been called to tbe /fact tbat many aged residents had died in this city of late and be bad tbe curiosity to get somek figures, lie finds that the combined ages of the 2-1 persons who have died in tbe past ten months are 1801*^ years or an average of 66>£ years. This does certainly seem like a remarkable showing. FARM PROBLEMS ?'Jyy-.-yy"r-''~ ";;;.• " V Analyzed ' By $ Agricultural '? o Authorities.
