5 thousand bullfrogs
SENT FROM LOUISIANA
TO BE RAISED IN JAPAN
New Orleans, La.—Five thousand
croaking bullfrogs, natives of the
Louisiana swamps, left here in a spe
cial car over the Southern Pacific
Wednesday night for San Francisco,
where they will embark on a steamer
for Japan, where they are expected
to become naturalized and after a
period of propagation, provide the
Japanse with an added delicacy for
the breakfast table.
The frogs were accompanied by it
retinue of Louisiana’s famous cray
fish and should any of these survive
the appetities of the swamp dwellers,
they too, will be given a chance to
become Japanese citizens.
The crayfish were provided pri
marily as food’for the frogs but their
abundance is expected to afford
enough survivors to start Japan in
the crayfish raising business. In Ja
pan, it is said, no crayfish exist, while
the frog family is confined to the
“runt” variety.
The Imperial university of Tokyo
has bought the giant frogs and will
attempt to raise them on a large
scale. Y. S. Kawano, president of
the Fine Arts Export Trading associa
tion at Yokohama, will meet the emi
grants at San Francisco and accom
pany them to Japan.
NO BABY IN THE HOUSE
No baby in the house, I know,
’Tis far too nice and clean,
No toys, by careless fingers strewn,
Upon the floors are seen.
No finger-marks are on the panes,
No scr.tt'-hes on the chairs;
No wooden men set up n rows.
Or marshaled off in pairs;
No little stockings to be darned,
All ragged in the toes;
No pile of mending to be done
Made up of baby clothes;
No little troubles to be soothed;
No little hands to fold;
No grimy fingers to be washed;
No stories to be told;
No tender kisses to be given;
No nicknames, “Dove” and
“Mouse”;
No merry frolics after tea—
No baby in the house!

MISSIONARY TO CHINA WRITES
OF CONDITIONS IN THAT
COUNTRY
Just at this time, when there is so
much warfare in China, a letter
from one of the Methodist church’s
missionaries will be road with inter
est. Miss Ella D. Leveritt, who pen
ned the letter, is a native of Walton
county. She was at home on a fur
lough in 1926, and those who attend
ed the Gainesville district meeting at
Young Harris had the pleasure of
hearing an interesting talk by her.
She writes as follows to her parents:
4*4
5 Young Allen Court,
Shanghai, China,
March 10, 1927.
Dear Father and Mother:
I am still in Shanghia, and do not
have any idea when I can go back
to Changchow. The war is still go- |
ing on and one side of the war is so
anti-foreign and anti-Christian that
they do everything they can to in
sult the foreigners who may be
'there when they occupy a city. I
have not Been writing very much
about the war, for I know you do
not care to hear and also you do not
understand, as you do not know what
is going on here; but a plenty is go
ing on, and people keep on leaving
China for a furlough till things quiet
down, and missionaries may return
to their work. We are just waiting
to see how it will turn out and what
will happen next.
In many places the soldiers have
gone into a city and taken the for
eign homes to live in and driven the
foreigner out, and in some places
the homes and churches have been
looted and everything destroyed, and
last week our mission in Huchow has
been occupied by the troops. The
ladies are in Shanghai and their I
things are left in the homes. Of
course, the soldiers are slepeing in
their beds and using what they
please. All may be looted before
they leave the mission buildings. We
do not know if we will be able to
return, but we hope to go back and
continue with our work, rather with
the Lord’s work, for it is His and
we are all simply His servants, and
if He wants us to go back He is able ■
to open the way and take us back.
In other missions in the far inter
ior there has been a lot of trouble.
Many of the churches have been
taken for horse stables, all the
church furniture burned or de
stroyed; in some of the homes the
downstairs have been used as a cess
pool, made a place of filth such as
no one would ever want to live in
again.
We are all heart sick over all that
is going on Out here, most especially
for the Chinese—they are suffering
so much. Really a reign of terror
is going on, so much murder and ex
ecutions, enough to run people crazy,
and all kinds of distress on all sides.
You see, no doubt, in the papers I
today about the awful earthquake i
in Japan, thousands of deaths and
awful destruction of houses from
the quake; the worst since 1854, say
the papers, and you know just a few
years ago what an awful earthquake
there was in Yokohama? The days
of tribulation surely have begun, and
it won’t be long till the Bride is
caught up to meet the Lord in the
air. It looks like things are heading
up for a world war. Satan knows
his time is short now, so he wants to
stir up a racket and get all the
trouble going he possibly can, and
get all the nations involved in it,
too. He would be so happy!
I expect you have had a notice
from the board that lam safe in
Shanghai. Misses Rue, Green, Davis,
Leveritt and MVs. Patty with three j
children; Mrs. Steele and one child
are in Shanghai from Changchow. 1
Dr. Patty, Mr. Steele, Mr. Price, Dr I
Love and Mrs. Willlston, the head
nurse, are still in Changchow. They
think they can get out if the sol
diers take the hospital and their
homes.
This time last year I was in Ra
leigh, N. C., attending the Council
meeting, and now I am here waiting
to go back to my beloved work in
Changchow. Wish I could wait there
with you and be at home with my
loved ones. I had a nice package
from Bessie for Christmas, and a
letter from her last week.
If we have to leave China I won
der what I will do; rather where I
will stay—but maybe Jesus will
come and I will then have a home.
We can then be together and never
say good-bye any more.
I hope you received the China
dolls I sent you—a grandfather and
grandmother, a baby and a kinder
garten child. I thought they were
so good—looked just like the Chinese
look. I hope you both will enjoy
them, showing them to the friends
who visit you. I hope you will keep
them, for I know others will enjoj
looking at them.
I attended such a good prayer j
meeting this afternoon. Wish you
could have been with us. The Lord
is so good and gives us so many good
things to enjoy. Blessed be His
holy name! God greatly bless and
keep you in perfect peace.
Love to those who are so kind to
you, and a heart full of love to you.
ELLA.
CARNESVILLE GIRL FOUND
HANGING
(From Lavonia Times)
A falta step may end the most
happy life. The most cultured, re
fined, beautiful and best loved are
no exception to the same /ate. A
father’s devotion, a mother’s or sis
ter’s companionship will not shield
them when they desire to take the
step.
j Such was the illustration last even
ing when one of the highest educat
ed, most refined and vivacious girls
was found hanging in the home par
lor, surrounded by all the luxuries
that go to make a happy life. Late
in the evening she was missed and
careful search failed to reveal her
whereabouts.
The telephone was used without
results. Her friends were called to
help search for her. Finally the
almost broken hearted mother re
turned to the parlor and there to her
horror and surprise, she found her
beloved girl hanging,
j How must that mother have been
affected by what met her gaze? There
was that daughter hanging to her
sweetheart’s neck, begging him to
subscribe for the Lavonia Times in
' order that he might be better in
formed as to the current news of
the community, by reading the
newsiest paper.
j We admit we swiped this story
from a West Tennessee paper, which
swipped it from some other paper
and that paper admits swiping it
from somewhere else, but it’s too
good to keep.
HE SAVED THE CHILD
A ship was on its way to its home
land, but it never reached the land
on which many hopes were centered.
She was wrecked on a coast far
away.
A miner had just tied his bag of
gold around his waist. He w-as put
ting the life-belt on when he felt a
gentle touch.
“O, sir,” said a little girl, “can
you swim?”
“Yes, little girl I can swim.”
“Please, sir, will you save me?”
“I will try,” he answered.
He could not save the little girl
and his gold, so he threw the pre
cious bag into the waves and said to
the little pleader, “Put your arms
around my neck and cling close to
me.”
Then he swam and swam, often
i fearing that he could not hold out,
safely to the shore. The first thing
1 of which he was conscious when he
! came to himself was of a little girl
with her arms around his neck. He
heard her saying, “O, sir, I am so
thankful to you for saving me.”
| He had lost his gold, but he had
saved the life of this dear child. It
was well worth all that it had cost,
i All around us, among the billows
; of life, men and women are saying,
l “Please, will you help me?”
| The sweetest thing in life is to
i know that we have helped someone.
THE HOUSE MADE UGLY
“I want a house of loveliness,” he
told the architect;
“I want the finest building which
your workmen can erect;
Let every window seem to smile to
greet the morning sun,
And let there be no jarring note
when once your work,is done.”
The home was built. No cost was
spared. No jarring note was
there;
That which the eye finds beautiful
was smiling everywhere,
And then the decorators came, and
once again the man
Said: “Furnish now this house for
me as richly as you can.”
I They tapestried his stately walls;
They stretched upon the floor
| Such rugs as Kings of Persia knew,
They searched the country o’er
. For treasures rare with which to
grace each room, and when ’twas
j done
I If ever a home held loveliness that
structure was one.
And yet whep he came home at night
| he sneered at her who smiled,
He had an ugly temper and spoke
harshly to his child;
And none beneath that roof was
glad where happiness should be,
For ’tis the spirit makes the home
! and not the things you see.
—By Edgar A. Guest.
