In New York City alone the loss was
$8,O0O,O00 a year OF $1.44 per capita.

FORMAL PROTEST ON
ARMENIAN ATROCITIES

Washington, Oct. 5.-Ambassador
Morganthal at Constantinople was in.
structed by cable today to inform the
Turkish minister of foreign affairs
that public sentiment in the United
States was SO stirred by the reports
Of the Armenian atrocities that unless
the massacres ceased friendly rela.
tons between the American people
and the people of Turkey would be
threatned.
Officials made it clear that this
method though important was by no
means minimized did not threaten a
break in diplomatic relations. Turkey
already has let it be known tEat she
she will not permit interference by
any foreign powers with her soycalled
Armenian policy" As American life
or property has not been affected. the
United States government without
submitting official protest merely IN.

SPIRIT or

EVERY city in the Union can take a
helpful lesson from Galveston. The
manner in which it is facing the fl-
ture after the devastating storm Of a
few weeks ago, writes a new chapter
In American pluck and civic optimism.
This spirit is well demonstrated in
the recent trade number issued by
the Galveston Daily News.
The city is going ahead with its
building program undismayed by past
events. The slogan Galveston Builds
on Foundation Of Safety and Prosper
fly" is indicative Of the spirit that en-.
tfuses the city.
It ia this ability to rise above ad.
versity and face the future mnafraid
that has made America and her people
great
Galveston typiaes the spirit anew
and the best wishes Of a nation go ou,
to her.

A large number of inquiries have
been received at the Office of the
Grand Forks Better Farming associa-
ton in regard to white bellied grains
Of wheat, especially the durum and
marquis varieties.
According to Edgar /. Olsen, better
farming expert, it is caused by bligat
or wilt in the growing period, and
sometimes causes the kernel to break
and fail to fill. The disease is trans.
mitted by stubble and old straw pre-
viously infected. In order to combat
this disease, farmers must use only
clean, bright, hard seed, treated with
faxmaldahyde. and sowed on land that
hasNnot grown wheat for a numberAbf
years.
It is claimed tlat many of the grain
buyers of the state are discriminating
against white bellied grains, refusing
to buy them, as they are composed
mostly of starch, with very little glut-
