Yellow Peril Is Industrial
Belief of Sir Douglas Haig
By ROBERT WELLES RITCHIE.
(Staff Correspondent CnlTtnal Service.)
London, June 28. While the rec
ollection of that cartoon of ex
Kaiser Wilhelm's, entitled "The Yel
low Peril," still lingers in the minds
of men a new pronouncement on
the same subject comes from no
less a person than Sir Douglas Hais,
commander of Britain's armies in
France for three years. What Wil
helm of Potsdam said with a crayon
England's heroic fighter put in
words: there is a yellow peril men
acing the white races.
It was in the course of the cere
monies of installation as rector of
St. Andrew's university that Field
Marshal Haig delivered his rectorial
address. Laying aside the baton of
a director of armies, Sir Douglas
assumed the robe of the seer of
future world events and spoke
of solumn conflicts which are to be
found in every quarter of the globe,
only awaiting the right conditions
to burst once more into activity and
cover the fields with harvests of
armed men."
Among the more obvious of the
existing possibilities of strife he
cited the question of the yellow man,
saying:
"Perhaps newspapers and novel
writers concerning themselves with
the yellow peril have robbed it of
some of its real claims to serious
consideration in the interest of sen
sationalism. Yet it needs only a
little reflection to understand that
this problem is, in fact, a matter of
the utmost seriousness, deserving all
the thought that can be given toward
its solution.
"I have been a witness to the work
that was done by the Chinese labor
Every Scar On Fape
Was Badge of Honor
New York, June 28. Carrying a
tiny dog under one arm, a richly
dressed girl, whose complexion was
hidden beneath a coat of paint and
powder, chanced to glance at an
American officer whose face was
frightfully pitted.
"Isn't it terible that a man with a
pock-marked face like that should
be permitted to be an officer?" said
she in an audible tone to anothrr
girl following her down the aisle
Instantly a doughboy leaped to his
feet, with:
"Close your painted face, you half
baked little hussyl That captain led
a charge through a barbed wire en
tanglement to drag a wounded
American back out of No Man's
Land while you were feeding sugar
to your dog vith a spoon. Every
one of those wire marks on his face
is a badge of honor."
The girl was able to blush, even
through her paint.
lighted city in Nebraska, having a
municipal plant.
Hastings, with an average rainfall
of 27.3 inches an altitude of 1M2
is one of the healthiest localities in
the United States. Adams county,
of which Hastings is the county
seat, is the banner wheat producing
county in the state of Nebraska.
The Rose tire pump pumps more air because it does not get-its
air supply around the cupped leather as do other pumps, but in
stead through the patent valve. Therefore, the cupped leather
never leaves the walls of the cylinder and the instant the plung
er starts on the downward stroke the compression .starts. The
cupped leather is long lived because it holds but one position
and is not continually opening and closing with each upward
md downward stroke of the plunger.
The Rose tire pump is of steel construction throughout and
will stand rough, hard usage that a pump is usually subjected
to in the tool box. The air hose used on the Rose tire pump is
a special five-ply hose that will stand weather and hard use.
All jobbers handle Rose tire pumps and can supply your
dealer so it does not matter whether you live in' Nebraska or
New York, you can buy the Rose.

battalions brought to France during
the war and can bear witness to its
efficiency. The time must come when
the Chinese will demand a place in
the European and American labor
market, competing with our highly
paid labor and our infinitely higher
standards of living. For instance, I
have read that in certain parts of
China the cost of raising coal to the
pit-mouth is one shilling, sixpense
(37 cents) a ton; compare that with
our five shillings in England.
"Again, there's India with a popu
lation of over 300,000,000 souls. India
already is beginning to turn toward
social, industrial and political devel
opment." Sir Douglas proposed a solution of
what he believed to be the inevit
able Asiatic problem which was far
different from the kaiser's curative
of terrorism.
Freedom the Solution.
"The solution of this problem," he
continued, "is part of the mission of
the British empire in the world. In
a word, this tremendous problem U
only capable of solution by giving to
all races, however insignificant, what
we proudly regard as British free
dom and justice, and thereby in the
course of many yean levelling them
up to our own standards of life.
Only in this way may international
rivalries be confined within the
limits of peace. Only thus may the
tremendous pressure of economic
competition be prevented from driv
ing whole continents into war. Be
cause of the realization of these
facts I believe it was thai some
thing of the idea of an economic
and industrial side of world life has
been woven into the league of nations."
Nix On the Shimmy
Says Mayor Censor
Philadelphia, June 28. Shame on
the shimmy. It's in disgrace in
Philly, for a bill just signed by Gov
ernor Sproul making ifayor Smith
censor of terpsichorean indulgences
has gone into effect. Now Philadel
phia mayor is the best one-stepper
and fox-trotter in the city and when
he decides "nuff shimmy" that's
about all the shimmy there will be.
The word having gone forth, a
wake was held over the shimmy and
a general celebration was in order
before it was laid) to rest.
Restraint was not present, so
couples wriggled and wiggled and
invented to their feet's content.
Though it didn't die hard, it cer
tainly didn't die quietly, for wave
upon wave of contortion followed
one another in quick succession.
From now on each dance hall
must take out a license and Mayr
?mith emphatically declares no li
cense for the shakes.
Wheat for Allies.
Winnipeg Fifteen million bush
els of wheat, western Canada's resi
due from last year, will be ground
into flour and shipped to Great
Britain and its allies. The wheat
will be purchased at $2.24J4 a bush
el, the fixed price, which will con
tinue in effect this year.

in August, 1903, and each succeed
ing year has shown an increased
growth until now its depos
its are $500,000 and its capi
tal, surplus and undivided prof
its are $60,000. While the last year
has brought to the First National
bank its share of the burdens inci
dent to war and its share of the
expenses of the government in this
war, nevertheless, the past year has
been a moVt profitable one for the
institution.
The First National bank, while it
has carried its quota of the govern
ment securities and supplied its cus
tomers with all the money they
desired to meet their needs, has not
had to rediscount any of its obliga
tions within the past year.
With the prospect for agricultural
supplies needed under the period
of reconstruction ahead of us the
next year should be still more pros
perous for both the people of the
community and for this institution.

The Rose Truck and Tractor
Grease Gun
was especially designed for use with the farm tractor. It makes
it possible to lubricate each and every part of the machine with
ease without waste. The Rose grease gun is all steel construc
tion with curved nozzle and the cupped leather valve is of spe
cial design tanned under special process and will hold its shape
indefinitely. One of the special features of the Rose tractor
grease gun is the fact that grease will not work out at the top
as it does with many grease guns not having correctly designed
valves.
Your tractor costs you a great deal of money and in order
for it to be a good investment and give the service it should, it
must be properly lubricated and this cannot be done without a
suitable device.
You can purchase the tractor grease gun of your dealer, no
matter where you live, and the price is $2.50
