Turkey who was afraid Of his wife.

meet the need OF famine sufferers in
China and has issued call to the cit

Disastrous floods in China have rem

Shanghai has cabled the state depart
ment that conditions are continually
growing worse and that many people
are actually starving. An appeal has

society has taken up the work of col
ecting supplies which will be sent to
China, with the consent Of congress, on
government transports. At the time of
the San Francisco disaster the Chinese
minister received 1922, 900 for relief fund
only a portion of which, however, went
to the relief Of the Chinese in San

Why Russian Names Are Lonq.

II often hear Americans make fun
Of the long Russian Names" said DR..
George L. Alexis Hamilton, Rus
sian physician. Let me tell you why
these names are long when spelled
out in the English language. It is
because you have not enough letters
in your alphabet. In Russian there
are SO letters. In translating proper
noun it is often necessary to use
three or four English letters to ex-
press the sound Of one Russian letter.
So sometimes name that If written
in Russian would be as short as
Smith will be almost an inch long
when spelled out in English"

Buried Treasure,

Winona-No more buried treasure
has been found on the farm Of the late
Lemuel Hill in the town of Pleasant
Hill in this county, but it is believed
that there is considerably still to be
unearthed. Mr.. Hill, an eccentric old
bachelor, died last fall, and shortly af-
ter, several thousand dollars in cash
and securities was found buried in
the wheat in the granary. Mr.. Hill
had sold little grain for number Of
years, and thousands Of bushels had
accumulated. To make room for the
new crops each year, he has shoveled
out hundreds Of bushels on the ground
around the granary, and much of this
has spoiled. Many bushels of the
grain under cover has been allowed to
go to waste by becoming old and musty
and not fit for sale.

hard); SSS denotes that he "sauft

A practical and smart hat of this de-

around the crown with the thickest kind
of ruche, cut from silk in a lighter tone

the edges and then the silk was triple box
