Look Listen and Till: "OPEN BOOK" AM WHO OPENED IT. The Washington conference on limitation of armaments and Far Eastern problems revives interest in the "open door" in China. Ho many things have happened In the two decades since that door was opened by John Hay and Li Hung Chang that many have forgotten the grand kudos which attended that diplomatic triumph of the M'Kinley administration. During the two decades that have elapsed, the "open door" has been almost closed To reopen it without involving the world in another Armageddon is the problem of the Washington conference. The Uited States has entertained many interesting guests, but none more absorbingly interesting than Li Hung Chang, the Celestial diplomat who with Secretary Hay, opened the door in the Far East, in 1899.

Li Hung Chang toured America in 1890 He was then 73 years of age mysterious and inscrutable. The particular trait in his character that delighted and at times disconcerted America was his wonderful frankness in speech. Ordinarily a diplomat makes a noise like an oyster, but not Li Hung Chang. a bland, childlike simplicity a most deceptive similicity he asked many startling and disconcerting questions. Yet his simplicity entirely robbed his frankness of offense.

It is related that on one accosion when the eminent Celestial was the guest at a social function arranged in or and for his entertainment, the 'aged Oriental asked a social matron, whose lineage and pedigree bulked large in the Yankee Almanach de Gotha; "How old are you? Why do you quarrel with your husband? Is it a case of your bad temper, or his? Don't you know that ill-nature etches those wrinkles upon your countenance?" This blunt inquiry so unlike the "pussyfooting" small talk to which we are so accustomed, made Li Hung Chang a delicious morsel for the newspapers. He made "copy" wherever he went. It's unfortunate that there isn't a Li Hung Chang at the Washington conference. Pi'IlKLY 1UTT NOT OFFENSIVELY PERSONAL A prosperous gentleman walked into a New York dining room, quietly sat down at a table by a window and ordered luncheon. He opened the comic page of a New York newspaper and became deeply engrossed in the "comics." "Who is that?" asked one of the men at the next table, where several theatrical and literary luminaries were assembled.

"His face is familiar and yet I can't place him." Wilton Lackaye, the actor, arose. "I'll bet that's George McMannus, plus "Pardon me, am I speaking to Mr. Mc- "Pardon me, an I speaking to Mr. McManus?" ho inquired as he stepped over to the dignified stranger's table. And even before the question was answered, he knew that he was right, for the "d.s." was reading "Bringing Up Father." "You certainly are," McManus laughed, "I just wanted to see whether I could fool you fellows." And probably he told his friends whom he joined the story of his newly acquired mustache.

For many years he has been an admirer of Douglas Fairbanks and never missed one of his pictures. Whenever they happened to be in the samq town, these two would have a reunion and talk about old times. So when Fairbanks grew his mustache for the "Three the least McManus thought he could do for his friend was to grow one too. He obtained Mrs. McManus' permission and went out west pending developments and visited his old friend Lafe Young, publisher of The Des Moines Capital.

Soon the mustache began to sprout and, with proper care and culture, it grew into an artistic bit of adornment, is shown in the accompanying picture. McManus is proud of his mustache. Mrs. McManus is also proud of it He promises unconditionally, however, that in spite of his fondness for facial foliage, Jiggs will continue to show his bare face to the public, since' Maggie would never consent to the change.

Kip had the icy to the Enchanted Cupboard, and if all went well the Twins would soon have magic shovels and be helping Mr. Pirn Pirn to dig up the glittering colors for the Christmas toys. "You promised to tell us how you found out that the gnomes wire so wicked," Nick reminded the Brownie who had helped them to escape.

"Can't you tell us now? We're safe here." "All right," consented Kip. "I can tell you while we're walking. I only discovered it last inght when Tweekanose asked me to go chimnev hunting with him." "Chimney hunting!" exclaimed Nancy. "I never heard of it.n "Neither had Kip told her. "It's this way.

Another wail comes from the prairie hay shipping sections of eastern Kansas, such as around Yates Center, over the absence of profit in the commercial hay business.

This also is true with alfalfa hay producers, and with the sugar beet growers in the Arkansas River Valley. Meanwhile the men who have remained with diversified farming with a good crop rotation and some attention to livestock arc giving at least two and a half cheers, arid in some cases the customary three. Prices are too low, all right, all right, but still the farmers who believe in good crop rotation are a whole lot better off than the grain men, and tliey always will be. You don't believe this? No? AVell, what about the fellow who stayed with hogs last year, when most farmers "got out of" the business, and now has shoats for which he can get 10 cents a pound? This is a price which is so high that it probably is silly, but it is nevertheless being paid in some localities. And what about the dairy farmers, who arc getting along very well on low-priced feed, and the men with large poultry flocks? The barrage of price reductions thru which agriculture has gone has been one of the greatest demonstrations I have ever seen of the value of diversified mehtods.

I know that it is difficult to keep to a settled policy in agriculture because of the shifting tide of prices, yields and profits, or lack of them. Furthermore, it is a fact that farming is going thru such a dickens of a mess that it is somewhat difficult to get the right perspective on things, but still that always is true to a greater or lesser extent in any business and in any time. This makes it all the more important that farmers in Kansas and Eastern Colorado should make a careful analysis of the conditions with which they are confronted in order to work out the best system. It is well to consider the record of the more successful farmers of your section. The greatest limitation of agriculture is that we have not done this to a sufficient extent.

In many cases it you will study the methods of these successful producers you will find that they have played the value of diversified methods to the limit. Then consider your biggest mistakes in the last five or 10 years. Taking the rec -listen to the jingle of the "cents" you have saved; to the words of satisfaction and commendation of yourself and others. 3 1 There is nothing women dreads so much as washday. Husbands, Ret your wife an Automatic Electric Washer and watch her smile.

That should repay you. Keally, the wonders of the Automatic cannot be told, just get one and see. Attach it and while you are doing your other work, the dirty clothes are being made spotless in a remarkable short time. Get an Automatic, keep a budget and compare the monthly gains over all payments for your washer. This will prove its savings.

Anything can be given a trial and that is all the Automatic Washer needs. Now, stop, look and listen before you spend another hour over the wash tub or another dollar sending your clothes to the laundry; and last of all; act! Get an Automatic Electric Washer, NOW! i Kip had the key of the Enchanted Cupboard all the chimneys where children live about this time of year. Then they mark them with chalk so they will show up in. the moonlight. About Christmas time they go out in thousands and block up the chimnevs with all the soot they can stuff in, so Santa can't iret down.

Besides that 1 United Water Electric Co. they steal letters the kiddies put uf the chimney for Santa. And anoth- i ords ot your friends and ot yourself, isn't it possible for you to work out a system of production, based on the law of the average, which is belter adapted to average times than the one you are now using? If you will make such a study, you will no doubt be impressed with the need for more diversification in crop growing, and for more attention to livestock. The exact methods you will use will depend on your locality and on your own personal inclinations. Then after working out this new plan, why not agree with yourself to stick with it thru thick and thin, changing only as the need for a new departure is demonstrated clearly? If definite plans of this kind, based on average experience, were worked out, it would increase the returns of the agriculture in this territory greatly.

I tried to throw down a good dream about good, kind, merry, old Santa, but before it got past the chimneypot, Tweekanose caught it and put it into his bag.

Why, the gnomes have even caught the chimney-sweep and made him a prisoner, also the toy-maker. After we help Pirn Pirn, we'll have to come back and set them free, because it never would do for Santa to get his suit all smudgy." (To Be Continued.) M. Marceline McMillan 815 First East, Sherman High.
