The first important factor In this growth was tfe« city's location near the mouth of tk Yangtze river, Asia's greatest natural trade artery. A second reason tor growth was the fertility of the surrounding region, the Yangtze's delta, which has been called "China's garden spot." Finally, Shanghai has had time la which to develop, and western guidance ; for it was one of the first Chinese cities to he opened to westerners and western trade, one of the five original "Treaty Ports" established in 1842. This designation of Shanghai as a treaty port 90 years tig© has resulted In the dual character which the city M* possesses. For there are two, Shanghais: the closely-built, teeming' native city, and the foreign concessions with their wide streets and avenues •nd their solid, western-type buildings. British merchunts were the first to move in after the opening of the port la 1842. They obtained a concession to manage their municipal affairs lu their settlement. The French and American residents joined 1q the arrangement, but later the French set up a municipality of their own which Is maintained separately today. Residents of other nationalities have thrown in their lot with the British and Americans, and today about twenty nations have arrangements with' Otlna in connection with trade and extraterritorial rights in Shanghai. The entire urban group--Ctiineae, French and International--that bears the name "Shanghai," has a population fat excess of one and a half million people. By far the larger part Is Chinese bat the concentration is not greateat in the narrow-streeted, dirty, smelly native city. S^ well have the foreignera governed their concessions that Chinese have flocked to those sections. The international city is especially a favorite residence for retired Chinese officials from other parts of the country. It has become a model, too. In the matter of street pavements, drainace, sanitation and police methods, and since the revolution has been copied extensively by Chines* cities Jhl otber parts of the country. Not on the Yangtze. Shanghai is near the moutli of the Yangtze river and -close to the Grand canal. Around it for many miles stretches intensively cultivated gardens. This strategic situation has made the city not only a great commercial emporium but as well one of the greatest Chinese Industrial centers. In sense, however, the city Is out-ofthe- way. It Is not directly on the Yangtze, but on a tributary, the Hwangpoo (Whanpoo) twelve mlies from the great river. The meeting place of the two rivers is called Woofinng. The largest ocean steamers cannot ascend to the city, but must anchor to the Yangtze estuary near Woosung and transship passengers and freight to steam tenders. Smaller ships can cross the bar, however, and the war vessels of many nations are constantly ea duty off the Bund. As one approaches the city from Woosung, the villages, graveyards and anchored ships of all kinds become more numerous as he draws near the wharves. The hum arrd roar of factories and cotton mills In peace time belie the real atmosphere of this metropolis of mitral China. It Is not airtll' the heavy, half-sickening smell of bean oil, Incense, opium smoke and of human beings penetrates the nostrils that the true Asiatic flavor of the dty is revealed. Although the quaint Kiangsu Junks are rapidly disappearing, the cargo Junks, sampans, and speedy slipper boats still vie with the motor launches of huge steel and wooden vessels from every port on the globe. Shanghai, like Venice, is a dty built largely opon piles sunk far Into the •oft black sand and saturated clay upon which the city rests along the banks ef the Hwang[KK> river. Huge reinforced concrete rafts are buried in thig day, and the foundations of the buildings are laid on them. The foreign settlements are delightfally modern, with plenty of space, llfht and air, and are as clean and orderly as occidental cities. The French maintain their own concession under a government separate from that of tlM other twenty powers, with their Gay City In Peace Times. The hybrid city of Shanghai--a city of both East and West--is in peace times fchat many a traveler finds Paris is supposed to be but Isn't: perpetually gay and carefree. Europeans and Americans, forced by business or government assignments to live there on the other side of the world In a none too kindly climate, seem with one accord to have determined to make the experience as pleasant as possible. White men's working hours might have been framed by a visionary Socialist for the year 2000. Many offices open at ten o'clock, grant a rest period from twelve to two, and close at four so thnt harassed merchant, and banket1 and clerk may hurry away to club or casino or tennis court, golf links or houseboat, for what Robert Louis Stevenson called "the real business of life." The Bund, the waterfront thoroughfare of occidental Shanghai, is normally crowded with prosperous, unhurried westerners; and Bubbling Spring road of an afternoon Is thronged with stylishly dressed men and women of leisure and fashionable equipages that would do credit to Fifth avenue, the Champs ICl.vsee or the Ring-Strasse in the days of Vienna's glory. The city is thoroughly cosmopolitan. Perhaps no other city of the world surpasses it in this respect except Cairo. Every western country has nationals In Shanghai, and there are besides rep% resentatlves from all parte of Aata. = In the Old City. In striking contrast has been the old Shanghai, where most of the Chinese live. Going through the gates of the native city one passed Into another century. Old temples, cramped courtyards. where flowering peonies and chrysanthemums could be glimpsed in passing, and an endless succession of narrow streets, hung with rococo banners of Chinese characters, and filthy and reeking with a thousand odors, differentiated It at orica from its smaller modern cousins but. a short distance away. A tea house set in the middle of a stagnant pond Is one of the breathing places of the old city, where sellers of jade and cheap jewelry, letter writers, fortune tellers, cobblers, menders, pedtllers. Jugglers, and others of Shang-^ Ital's polyglot population gathered over teacups or chattered endlessly in high pitched voices. The Chinese theater is another native oddity. The want of scenery, the din of the orchestra, and the piercing Intonations and gaudy costumes of the actors furnished a spectacle, which, while not always pleasing to western tastes, was always colorful and unusual. Shanghai's sobriquet, "The Paris of the East" has referred more to the gaiety of Its social life than to any external resemblance to the French capital. It Is not nearly so picturesque as Hong Kou„' or that queen of oriental beauty, Foochow. Shanghai cannot set out a thousand lanterns on a dozen hills 1,800 feet up Into the night, as Hong Kong can, but her more intimate house and garden decorations have been famous. There were lanterns everywhere, certain types wen* used as shop signs, and with their nonsputtering cold tallow candles they shed a perfect light Along Bubbling Well road In happier days a panorama of the city's life passed in review. Once the resort of closed broughams and fine cars of foreign dignitaries. It has lately echoed to the rattle of anything that can go on wheels, and the rickshaws and wheelbarrows of the natives, darting in and out among the carriages, taxis 2nd limousines, have furnished a gay nd motley spectacle all day long. Shanghai Is not only a great commeroial emporium, handling nearly half the foreign trade of China, but it has also become. In recent years, one of the greatest Chinese Industrial centers, with a large laboring population. Cotton and silk cocoon winding mills employ thousands of workers. In addition there are large numbers of smaller factories, manufacturing matches, paper, cigarettes, fireworks, wood carvings, jewelry, etc. Much «f# the occidentalizution that has come to China in the past half century has filtered through Shanghai, especially through the great printing establishment there which has turned out excellent translations. Into Chinese, of the literature and Ideas of the West.

' > ' ,•*V feadvfsable to Rely on Them as Whole Protein Source. For a number of years the acreage of soy beans, grown both for grain and hay, has been increasing. As a result more of the beans hav# also been fed to live stock as a source of home* grown protein. It Is, of course, desirable for the former to produce as much protein as possible and thereby reduce the need for the purchase 0&. this constituent to a minimum. While one can secure economical gains on bogs fed a ration of corn and soy beans or barley and soy beans, yet such rations are not satisfactory because they produce soft pork, which is discriminated against by the packer's, That being ttie case, soy beans should not be-employed as a protein supplement for pork production, at any rate not a^ the sole source of the amount needed for balancing the ration. Fortunately, however, soy beans may be used as a source of protein in the feeding of brood sows, both during the gestation and the suckling periods, as a test conducted at the Illinois experiment station has clearly shown. Thus two lots of eleven sows each were fed for a period of 95 days between the breeding and farrowing, dates--Lot 1 on corn and a protein supplement composed of two parts by weight of tankage and one part by weight of inseed meal, and Lot 2, on corn and whole soy beans containing the same amount of protein as the tankage and linseed meal supplied Lot 1. The daily average consumption of feed by Lot 1 was 4.1 pounds corn and .51 of a pound of tankage and linseed meal on which they made a daily gain of .85 of a pound per head. Lot 2 consumed an average of 3.7 pounds corn and .W of a pound of soy beans per head per day. The average weight of both lots of sows at the beginning of the feeding or gestation period was 440 pounds per head. Docility Is Neglected When Ewes Are Roughed The person who has -oughed his ewes through from fall until lambing day will find that he has neglected one very important feature, and that is docility, for with the roughing of live stock generally goes negligence. It Is a very easy matter to open the yaiyl gates and with a shout turn the sheep In and out pell-mell. But if the owner or herdsman would take about half an hour night and morning prior to turning out and letting in, to walk about and examine his flock carefully, sometimes with a pail of grain, handing out a mouthful to a" few ewaa among the flock, he would soon gain the confidence of his whole flock aridi Instead of their running away from him they are glad to hear their master's voice, and will follow him readily Into the yard or out to the field without crowding and becoming< pan Icky. ' First Mwltn EaglUli Po«t Keaben Poet Halleck says: "Before Chaucer's works English was, as we have seen, a language of dialects/ He wrote In the Midland dialect, anA aided In making that the language of England. Lounshury says of Chaucer's Influence: 'No really national language could exist until a literature had been created which would be admired and studied by all who could read and taken as a model by all who could write. It was only a man of genius who could Ji|t np one of these dialects Into a preeminence over the rest, or could ever give to the scattered forces existing In any of them the unity and vigor of life. This was the work that Chaucer did.' For this reason he deserves to be called our first modern English poet. At first sight, his works look far harder to read than they really are, because the spelling has changed so much since Chaucer's day." i h JOHKSB0M Hogs Relish Rape . Neither soy beans nor rutabagas are likely to do much In corn. About the best green feed Is dwarf essex rape. This belongs to the turnip family but It grows leaves Instead of roots.

'Se*. Inventor of Poit Cants It was on the suggestion of an At&> trlnn. Doctor l!errmann. that the post cafd was born. He had advocated the Introduction of cards about the site of an envelope, t© be carried at a reduced rate, the sender to b« limited to a maximum of 20 words. Including signature and address. This was in 1869. The idea was quickly adopted by. the Austrian post office, and other pofetat authorities followed suit, Including Great Britain, where the post card was introduced in October, 1870. But, unknown to Doctor Herrmann, the post card was suggested, years before 1869, by Henrich von Stephen, the founder of the Unlverslal Postal union. It was turned down, but Von Stephen was the man who thought of It first. All-Time Holiday Time Some employers of France are trying the experiment of spreading vacation time over the entire year. It has been suggested by some employees, who would rather have their vacation when the weather was not so hot as to prevent the full enjoyment of the time. There is much to be said for and against this scheme, but some employers argue that It la much more convenient to have a few away at one time rather than several, as has been the case heretofore. Others claim that there Is not much business In the heated term, and therefore the assistants can be spared best at that time. - * - . . Effect of Wiffs?

Value of Goat's' Milk Very early In history it was discovered that goat's milk Is more nutritious, and more valuable to human ex* lstence, than that of other animals. This Is due at least In part to the fact that It does not curdle easily when taken into the stomach, and so Is well fitted to be the food of Infants, invalids, and aged people. -All la the SaaM Beftt „ - TO6 teason people are pattest with statesmen Is because they don't know what to do, either.--Bakers field Callfornlan.
