CHANGE IN MONITOR
ADVERTISING BATES
Because of our keen appreciation of
all our Monitor patrons, we have been
loath to increase our prices until
forced to do so.
The Increased cost of everything
that enters into the making of a news
paper necessitates an increase In our
advertising rates.
Beginning with the first issue In
February advertising rates will be as
follows:
Display advertising—75 cents per
column inch for single insertions.
Classified advertising—4 cents a
word, or 20 cents per agate line.
Time or space discounts furnished
on request. Contracts can be made
at the office, 304 Crounse block, or
call Douglas 3224 and our represent
ative will call on you.
The Monitor is prepared to give its
clientele in 1920 a larger circulation
and better service than in 1919.
Growing, thank you.
ONE- WORLD'S
IN CHINA
Seventy Per Cent. Employees in
Shanghai Cotton Mills Wom
en and Children Working
Twelve Hour Shifts.
One-fourth of the women In the
world are Chinese—200,000,000 of
I them. They are going into industry
In large numbers to work long hours
and for little money.
In Shanghai, for instance, seventy
per cent, of the employees in tie
cotton mills are women ami children.
Working hours for spinners are from
six In the morning until six at night
and from six at night until six in the
morning. Weavers work from 5:30 in
the morning until seven at night and
the wages are from ten to twenty cents
a day. Hundreds of women are em
ployed in silk filature mills, standing
, hour after hour washing cocoons In
basins of boiling water In the ex
cessively hot rooms necessary for
apartments where tine silk is spun.
In Canton alone, there are 150.000
women in factories at a maximum
wage of forty cents a day for women
and of fifteen cents a day for girls.
As part of its program of world
service for women the National Voting
Women’s Christian Association is ex
pecting to put njjJjjj staff of sec
retaries In China an expert on in
dustrial conditions who will develop
I social work in factories, and work to
improve conditions for women em
ployees This work will include the
Introduction of recreation and social
life among the workers nnd of health
lectures and educational classes.
Y. W. C, A. STUDENTS
TEACHING IN CHINA
Physical Training School Main
tained in Shanghai.
Tlie vast majority of Chinese men
remember their mothers as cripples
Many a girl wanders into a mission
school who has not had her own feet
bound, hut has never seen a woman
of her own class who couid walk, and,
therefore, she walks in a most ungain
ly fashion—scarcely conscious of her
natural feet.
The Chinese Medical Association—
an Association composed only of Chi
nese physicians mostly graduates from
American and English Institutions—
have asked the entire educated commu
nity of the country to co-operate in
better health for the children of Chi
na. All the Mission Boards operating
in. China felt that one of the greatest
contributions the Young Women's
Christian Association could offer to
the health of Chinn would lie to es
tablish a normal school for the train
ing of physical directors.
Accordingly, in Shanghai, whicli is
the greatest port In China, the nation
al committee established such a school
In 1014. The school has won favor
with all educationists, both missionary
and government. There hnve already
been nine graduates from this school.
Miss Ying Mel Chun, a graduate of
the Wellesley School of Physical Edu
cation, has been dean of the school.
Graduates of the school are scattered
from Cunton to Peking, teaching with
conspicuous success in twelve mission
and government schools.

8:30 p. m., when Mrs. Louisa Proctor
became the wife of Mr. Robert Bank.'
Sr. The wedding occurred at the

S. Lewis, Mabry, Jenine Sellers and
A! Banks; Mr. and Mrs. L. Artison.
Messrs. Will Thomas, Wm. Banks. A.
F. Banks, John Walls, James Bank'

After the ceremony a dainty lunch

LIST OF LIVE STOCK
SHIPPERS DRAWN FROM
A VARIETY OF RACES
People of many races are live stock
i producers, located in territory served
by the Omaha market. During the
past few years the roll of live stock
| shippers has included full blood In
dians, men of Japanese, Russian, Bo
■ hemian, Mexican, Spanish and Swed
j ish descent. English lords have ad
justed their monocles in the lobby of
! the Exchange and the blocky sons of
' Nippon have ordered boiled rice in the
dining room. And in the oid days
when “Here’s How” was a common ex
, pression, it might have been heard
frequently with a strong Irish brogue.
Lest one section of our population
be overlooked in the racial delegates.
Alexander Brown of Merriam arrived
this morning with a load of mixed cat
tle and a broad African smile. Mr.
Brown is an old gentleman of color
: whose activities tend to discredit the
Osier theory. He is not only a suc
cessful fanner and stock raiser, but
does not like to be bothered with hired
help.
Two years ago he raised about 3,000
bushels of potatoes on his farm in
addition to more or less grain and
live stock and chickens. Mr. Brown
and his wife do all of the W'ork, not
having found it either necessary or
convenient to pay out good money for
farm labor of questionable quality,

that the Boy Scout movement which
was started a few months ago among
the colored boys of Omaha Is alive as
a direct result of Community Service.

ings so far, and our membership has
rolled up to eighteen enthusiastic
boys. At the last two meetings Mr.

' Omaha, was present and conducted
the .tenderfoot test. The following
boys passed the test and are real

Chester Ball. James McRae, Harold
Robbins. Worthington Williams Mil
lard Carr, Thomas Chandler. Vaseo
I’hillips. Raymond Miller. Edward
Todd, Maceo Farrel and Charles Mc
Rae. These boys are regular scouts
and are now permitted to wear the
full regulation Scout uniform. We are
axnious that all parents who are in
terested in their boy to see that he
becomes a Scout. Ages from 12 to 18
years.
The Scout Council for Troop 23 is
as follow’s: Dr. William Wr. Peebles,
Mr. H. L. Anderson, Mr. Isaac Bailey,
