FRIDAY, DEC. 27th
The massacre and deportation of
the Christian Armenians is character
ized by Henry Morganthau, former
United States Ambassador to Turk
ey, as “the greatest single horror ever
perpetrated in the history of human
ity.” The former Ambassador to the
Ottoman Empire, in his report to the
State Department at Washington, al
so stated emphatically that the de
portation of Armenians was carried
out on orders issued by the Turkish
government.
“The Turkish authorities had stop
ped all communication between the
provinces and the capital in the naive
belief that they could consummate
this crime of the ages before the out
side world was aware of it,”” declared
Mr. Morganthau, “But the informa
tion filtered through. It came from
consuls, from missionaries, from for
eign traveleys, and even from Turks.
We soon learned that orders had been
issued to the governors of the pro
vinces to send into exile the entire
_Armenian population, and the local
officers, with few exceptions, car
ried out these instructions. All the
able-bodied men had either been draf
ed into the army or disarmed. The
remaining people, old men, women
and children, were subjected to the
most cruel and outrageous treat
ment.”
“Few nations have suffered as
much,” says Morganthau. Carefully
prepared estimates based on reports
that have come to the Committee
from every part of the Near East
show that there are 3,900,000 desti
tute refugees, large proportion of
them in exile. The capitulation of
Turkey has made accessible to the
Committee this great mass of suffer
ing humanity. Thousands of women
and children are dying every day of
actual starvation. One of the great
est difficulties Relief Workers have
experienced is getting enough work
men, who are themselves sufficiently
fed, to bury those who die of starva
tion.
The American Committee for Ar
menian and Syrian Relief will con
duct, from January 12th to 19th a
nation-wide campaign to raise $3O,
000,000 for the relief and rehabilita
tion of the starving and destitute
people.
NO GOCOD FARMER SHOULD DO
LESS
Even if a farmer can’t take up a
systematic cost-accounting, he should
at least get a small account book,
and begin a record of cash received
and cash paid out the first day of
January. The record may be kept
up by just simply making note of all
cash received and paid out and for
what received and for what paid
out. Money received ~and money
paid out may be entered on opposite
pages of the book for each month.—

MUTT AND JEFF TRAVEL
‘WITH JIGGS AND DINTY
~ From Chattanooga they proceed to
Dalton, Cartersville, and Marietta to
Atlanta, Georgia, 124 miles over a
good road, and as they were told to
‘be sure and see Stone Mountain, they
remained in the Georgia metropolis
over night, starting early the next
‘morning for Macon.
| Macon, 93 miles distant, was reach
‘ed in time for lunch. Mrs. Jiggs said
'Macon was some town, as she mar-i
veled at the wide streets, pretty flow-|
ers, and enjoyed the warm welcome
of the residents. “Why is it,” she‘
asked, “that Macon is so much warm
er than Atlanta?” Someone told her
‘to ask a certain editor whose initials
are W. T. A,
- At Macon the party was warned
‘about a certain piece of road between
Waycross, Georgia, and Jacksonville,
Florida, consequently they looked up
W. T. A.,, and heard him cuss out
every foot of it. He advised to pro
ceed as quickly as possible to Way
cross, via Perry, Hawkinsville, Ab
beyville, Fitzgerald, Ocilla, Douglasl
and Nichols, in order to get a long
rest and start early the next day.
Accepting this advice, the 174 milesl
‘between Macon and Waycross werel‘
quickly disposed of, over a road like
‘a boulevard. In many places Jiggs‘
‘and his flivver were able to make
'35 miles an hour.
~ Out of Waycross next morning the
party expected to hit the wrost road
‘this side of Hades, but it was not so
‘bad, for though it was rough and
‘poor little Jeff was bounced a few‘l
'times they made the trip of 70 miles
lto Jacksonville in five hours. “For!
the love of Mike, Mutt, drive slow!”{
Jeff was heard to exclaim several
‘times, but Mutt had heard of how
‘close he was to the Florida line and
‘stepped on her instead. ;
~ Jigegs and Dinty were seen with
their heads close together as theyl
neared Jacksonville, but to no avail,
for the town proved bone dry. Con
‘sequently, after remaining in one of
Jacksonville’s famous hotels over
‘night the party crossed the St. Johns
River ferry, and flew on to Miami.
Flew is the word, because they pass
ed through St. Augustine, Ormond,
Daytona, New Smyrna, Cocoa, Mel
bourne, Stuart, and West Palm Beach,
and covered the entire 379 miles to
Miami before 9 p. m. The farther
south they went the better the roads
became, and the scenery proved gor
geous, especially where the Dixie
Highway followed the beautiful In
dian River for miles.
“A fine town to open a place,”
said Dinty, as he commenced to look
around, however, there was no bar in
sight. All night long he pondered
on this matter, and next morning, ap
proaching a prosperous looking busi
ness man, he told him what was on
his mind.
“No chance,” rejoined the business
man. “Even if you were allowed to|
open there are so many attractions |
here that people like.better than your
line that you would soon go broke.”’
Calling a meeting of Mrs. Jiggs,
Mutt, Jeff, Jiggs and himself, he
brought up the matter of what sport

TEN WAYS TO HELP
THE COUNTRY CHURCH
Here are ten ways to help the
country church of your community.‘
You can help by seeing to it— |
1. That the church has a whole
time pastor at a salary you are not|
ashamed of;
2. That a twelve-months-in-the
year Sunday school is maintained;
3. That a parsonage is provided
and furnished;
4. That there is a teacher’s train
ing class in the Sunday School;
5. That the church lives up to its
highest possibiljties in the matter
of church music;
6. That the church building is
painted ;
7. That the church grounds are
made beautiful with trees, shrubs,
flowers and walks;
8. That the church is properly
heated and lighted;
9. That there is a rest room for
women and children; 1
10. That hitching places are pro
vided for horses so that they will notl
gnaw shade trees.
Any earnest citizen can help ac
complish these things in his neigh
boring church and Sunday school and
should count it a privilege to be able
to do so.—Progressive Farmer.
GOOD FOR A FARMER
Now is the time to make prepara
tions for business farming next year.
Have some letter heads and envelopes
printed; buy a cheap cash book, a
letter file and a desk and also a type
-writer if you have much correspond
ence. It doesn’t take long to learn to
operate a machine. Printed letter
heads and a typewriter give people a
good impression of a farmer as a
business man. Duplicate copies of all
business letters, contracts, leases,
etc., should always be kept and the
typewrtier is a great aid, as two or
three copies are easily made at one
time.—Progressive Farmer.

- WORLD MINERAL RESOURCES
In geology there is no political
boundary. Geologic formations extend
beneath frontiers and fortresses, and
ores and other useful minerals are
deposited in like manner from contin
ent to continent. Accordingly, in an
ticipation that the United States Geo
logical Survey (Department of the
Interior) would be called upon for in
formation regarding the mineral de
posits and production of countries
other than our own, several of the
Geological Survey specialists in the
study of the different kinds of miner
al deposits began last year, as a pre
paredness measure, the compilation
of such data. The results of this work
more than fulfilled the expectations,
and the demands for the informa
tion became so numerous and urgent
as to require that the work be placed
in the hands of a carefully chosen
committee, each member of which is
a specialist in his subject. Under the
direction of this committee the com
pilation went forward in a compre
hensive and thorough manner. In
furnishing such information to the
various war organizations the Geolo
gical Survey only more fully perform
ed its work as the American bureau
of information regarding the geology
and mineral resources of the world.
BUYS LIME CRUSHER
FOR FARMERS' USE
When the fiscal court of Allen
County, Ky., went with the county
agent to see a field demonstration
where limestone had made red clover
erow adundantly where before clover
had been a failure, the favor of the
court was gained to the extent that
when the court met in regular session
an appropriation was voted for the
purchase of a limestone crusher. The
crusher cost $2,500. It is a portable
outfit, and for eight months of the
vear the county agent, by order of
the fiscal court, has control of the
machine. It is taken around from
community to community to crush
the natural limestone rock for agri
cultural purposes. This work is done
at cost for the farmers. In the other
four months of the year the crusher
is used by the county on road work.
