Anaheim, Calif., March 13, 1930 Conditions Now In Far-off China Rev. H. G. C. Hallock Writes From China on Present Situation Shanghai, China, Jan. 30, 1930. Dear Editor: Here comes a letter from this land of "make-believe." This is Chinese New Year, but the government would make believe it is abolished and forbids its celebration. But it is Chinese New Year. Firecrackers boom as of old. People in their best "go-to-meetin's" greet their friends with "Kong-hsi fah-dzal" — "Congratulations and abounding wealth." Stores are closed. Nanking's order is ignored. You can't change 1000-year-old customs of 450 million people in a night. But this is not, the only make-believe. Nanking makes-believe China is unified. It "ain't." China is split into smithereens. Chang Fa-kwei in Kwangsai is fighting Nanking. Yen Hsi-shan has Shansi and Chihli and rules well. Chang Hsuch-lliang lords it over Manchuria. Tang Seng-chi keeps a hornet's nest buzzing in Honan. Vong Yoh-dziang sways Shensl. Szechuen goes its own way, and other rebels keep the Capitol on "pins and needles." Yet Nanking has repeatedly reported each of these discordant ones overcome or won over. But it is only make-believe to hood-wink the world. Chiang Kai-shek is the "conqueror of the North and the unifier of China." But what he seems to have done was done mostly with Russian brains and capital until he took Nanking. After that the rest was won by squeezing money from people in the rear of the "fighting lines" and buying enemy commanders in front. There was hardly one worth-the-name battle fought. It was mostly victory by purchase and buying of victory takes the gloss off the glory. If Nanking had the money now she could purchase all her present enemies. It's profitable to be an enemy of Nanking! China had to humble herself before Russia for Russian officers could not be bought. But in China the "itching palm" is U. S. C. and Oxy In Meet Saturday In a practice meet to build up the Trojans for later Pacific Coast conference an international championship competition, the University of Southern California track and field squad will take on the Los Angeles Athletic Club and Occidental College teams Saturday, March 15, at Patterson Field, Oxy. In order to give Occidental an opportunity to make a good showing against the Trojans and Mercuries, who make up two of the strongest track teams in the country, the S. C. and L. A. A. C. squads have agreed to limit their entries to two men in each event and not run any track man in more than one race. Frank Wykoff, Trojan sprint star, for example, will run only one race, probably the 100-yard dash. As Occidental has a splendid team in prospect this season, this arrangement which limits the Trojans and Mercuries but premits the Tigers to use all the men they want in every event should make the contest a close one all around. Four places will be counted, another advantage for Oxy with its entry list unlimited. In addition to this triangular meet, the Southern Californians are tentatively scheduled to tangle with the Athletic Club squad on the following Saturday in a dual meet. 4-H Clubs Invited To Inspect Plant By ERIS E.

Gambling is everywhere. Superstition is rife. Money is wasted that might relieve famine suffering. Every temple is crowded with people offering incense, candles, paper-money and prayers to all the gods. They pray most for wealth. That prayer is not make-believe. They want wealth, and they worship the god-of-wealth with all their hearts. Every home has one made of wood, mud, or of paper, but he is “Dzai-zen” all the same. When business gets poor in China they say the god-of-wealth has gone to America. The paper Dzai-zen is interesting. The god’s throne is a big ingot of gold set with jewels. Mountains of gold are at the god’s left and Silver Hill is at his right. In front of him is a great bowl of jewels: On Silver Hill is the money tree a shake of which will shower you untold wealth. Over Dzai-zen’s head is “Foh”—blessedness. All around are his servants ready to carry wealth to those whom the god favors. This god is very amenable toattery and he who flatters best gets most. But he too is make-believe. May the true God-of-Wealth prosper you and friends in all good. Yours longingly for a sincere and prosperous China. (Rev.) H. G. C. Hallock.

This god is very amenable to battery and he who flatters best gets most. But he too is make-believe. May the true God-of-Wealth prosper you and friends in all good. Yours longingly for a sincere and prosperous China. (Rev.) H. G. C. Hallock. Rabbit Conference Word has been received from Geo. E. Harlan of Ventura, president of the Southern California Rabbit Conference, of a meeting scheduled for 10 A. M. Saturday, March 15, Farm Advisor's office, 230 Court Street, Los Angeles. The program will include a report on the disease situation and an open discussion on the cooperative marketing of rabbits. All the folks interested in rabbit raising are invited to attend and especially are rabbit organizations invited to have representatives present. This conference was recently organized by the Farm Bureau of the southern counties to enable rabbit men to get together to exchange ideas and to work out any of the marketing problems or others that they might see fit to. Dividends from Insurance The State Compensation Insurance Fund will cut a two million dollar "melon" during 1930 in the form of dividends distributed to employees insured with the fund. This was disclosed in a report to Governor Young by Will J. French, director of industrial relations. During the income of the fund exceeded $7,650,000, the greatest figure in its history. Starting with a handful of employees in 1914, the fund now has more than 400 on its staff, with branch offices in San Diego, Long Beach, Santa Barbara, San Jose, Sacramento, Oakland, Fresno and Stockton.

Each month a county-wide 4-H tour or trip is made to some place of agri-cultural interest, to educate and broaden the vision of the 4-H Club members. The proposed trip to the Cudahay Packing Plant will be known as the March 4-H tour and will afford these future farmers and present consumers and producers an excellent opportunity to observe the many steps involved in the preparation of dressed meat products for market. Incidentally they will be impressed with the tremendous volume of meat products required for the Los Angeles market, and the efficiency of handling and cutting, together with the elimination of waste RADIOS General Motors—Day Fan Echophone Mission Bell Radio Tapes — USED CARS— PINKSTON & HEINRICHS Established 1927 125 E.
