The Turkish Defeat.

In sum, the Turkish defeat in the
Caucasus has imperilled the whole
German supremacy on the Golden
Horn, it has abolished all possible
temptation for the Balkan States to
Join the kaiser, it has opened the
way to Bulgaria, Roumania and
Greece to win easy laurels and new
provinces. In addition it has prac-
tically assured British position in
Egypt. in the near east generally.
The holy was has gone glimmerlng.
Turkey now faces precisely the con-
sequences her Anglo-Russian advis-
ers foretold months ago.
In all this it is impossible not TO
feel a bit of sympathy for the Osman-
Ii, for the Turkish troops fighting as
they have always fought. Once more
Europe's intrigues have caught the
Ottoman in their tolls, persuaded
him to risk existence, and apparently
the gamble has been in vain and the
Ottoman empire is now in the most
desperate plight in its long and fire.

The Beresford Brothers.

Several good stories are related by
Lord Charles Beresford in his Me-
moirs, recently published, says Tit
Bits. One refers to the memorable
election to York City, when he had
for opponents Sir Christopher Fur
ness (afterward Lord Furness), and
his brothers. Lords William and Mar
Gus Beresford, went down to help
him in what proved to be a very
fierce contest.
Lord Marcus accompanied me to
a meeting" writes Lord Cahrles,
land I told him that that he must
make a speech. 1 can't he said; I
don't know what to say l told him
to begin, because he was sure to be
interrupted, and then, being an Irish
man, he would certainly find some
thing to say. Lord Marcus there
upon rose to his feet, and voice i'm
mediately shouted. who are ye?' 1t
was enough. The fire kindled. who
are we?' cried Lord Marcus. III
tell you who we are. We are three
brothers, and our names are Shad'
rach, Meshack, and Abednego. And
we have come here to put out the
burning fiery Furness!'
They did, but only just, for Sill
Christopher Furness lost by only
eleven votes.

A special government ministry for
protecting the people against natu-
raj phenomena is advocated in Italy
by Prof. G. Agamennone, the pur-
pose being to direct the work Of less
ening harm from earthquakes, vol
canic eruptions, floods and other dis
asters, and to provide State insur-
ance against losses. Unwise location
and faulty construction of buildings
are blamed as the chief causes OF
the serious consequences of earth
quakes. Building rules have been
worked out, but are usually dlsre-
garded on account Of expense and the
apparent remoteness OF danger from
the next earthquake.

STARED INTO SNAKES EYES.
Miner, Climbing Down Shaft. Has
Adventure With itattler.

There is saying down on the
broad Mojava desert, where the burn
ing sands conceal many dangers,
that no true son of the grasswood
wastes will pass up rattler. says
the San Francisco Chronicle. Strong
as is the lure of gold which so
irresistibly holds the prospector on
his search, there is none who Will
stop an hour and a half a day
to kill the deadly foe of the gold
hunter.
There is a story which will bear
telling and it is comparatively new.
It happened three weeks ago IN San
Bernardino county. The man to
whom the experience came is noted
the desert over for his truthfulness.
He has been bitten twice. His name
is George Branch. Quiet, unassum-
ing, with a laugh at what he termed
a Joke on the snake, he told the
story on a recent trip to San Fran
cisco.
81 was hiking along with Jack
and Jennie and Joe, my three bur-
ros, when 1 ran across an outcrop-
ping that looked good and in a
country I knew was among the best
there is on the desert. So we four
struck camp right there and be-
gan sinking shaft to get a look
at the inside.
IssI had little timber, but managed
to get enough over to the workings
to put down a good ladder and keep
the shaft open. The grub ran short
and 1 had to hit the trail back for
more. 1t took about week. When
I returned l started down in the mine
to do a half day shift, hitting into
camp little before noon. I wasn't
paying much attention to anything
except getting down the ladder. My
candle shed a pretty small light for
all the darkness at the bottom OF
the hole.
, was passing the last set of tim
bers and when they were opposite
my shoulder l flashed my candle to
the left to see if there was any sign
of setting. Just as l was turning
around to look on the other side l
heard, about three inches from my
ear, the buzz of rattler.
"It sounded more like a bell rat
tler than 1 ever heard them before.
1t was so close it almost scared me
into loosing my grip on the ladder.
In the half second I stayed there I
saw every scale on the snake and his
wicked little eyes and his fangs and
darting tongue. Maybe it was the
light of the candle that confused
him and maybe it was something
else that kept him from striking. But
all that lad would have had to do
was to reach out couple of inches
to get me on the cheek and l would
have had no chance to stop the
poison from doing it's work.
. 81 asked a college professor after
ward just how he thought l did it.
don't remember. But in about
two skips of a flea was out on the
surface and listening to the rattler
buzz away down in the shaft. The
professor said there was something
that always made man in an
emergency do just the right thing.
81 got a stick and poked him off
the timber and killed him by drop
ing rocks into the shaft. He was
four feet long and had sixteen rat
ties. He had slid down the incline
Of the shaft and rooled on a 4-inch
beam. l think he was afraid OF
falling or he would have struck

BREAK LAND EARLY.
Wheat, Rice and Sugar Cane Crops
in This County.

For the crop OF i9l' land snou!u
be speedily broken. especially lands
containing a great deal of vegetable
matter, turned under. Early break
ing is very essential. The winter
rains are stored away for the coming
crop. The early decay Of the vegeta-
bic matter is necessary because Of the
plant food which it contains and be-
cause of its water holding qualities.
The Wheat Crop.
In this county thousands Of acres
have been planted in wheat. One
big planter near Denmark has in
about four hundred acres. Thousands
of dollars that have been spent for
-four by the farmer, will be saved
for some other use. This is great
movement, step in the right direc-
ton and will aid very largely in re-
ducing the cost of living and the
bringing about of better times for
all the people.
The Rice Crop.
Rice is one Of the special articles
of food of the people of this county
and of this State. This is really
rice growing State but our people
have concluded to purchase every
article of food from the proceeds OF
their cotton money. Thousands and
thousands of this grain is imported
into this county and possibly hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are
spent for that important little cerial
that can be grown on our farms here
at home. Let us grow our own rice
and keep those thousands of dollars
at home in our own beloved county
making it more prosperous one by
our efforts. Every farmer should
plant a half acre or more. J. D.
Jeter, a farmer and land owner, is
going to plant three acres.
Sugar Cane.
Sugar cane has played its part in
the supply of food products ever since
it's discovery. When the price of
sugar goes up, the world howls. The
syrup from sugar cane is a very de-
sirable article of food and is very
largely used at food by our people.
A great deal of it is imported into
our county even in tin cans making
it very costly. Why not grow more
cane and make our own syrup thus
cutting down the cost of living.
Out lands in this county, that is
much of it is adapted to cane grow
ing, a good deal of it was grown Den
mark in 1914. The syrup plant OF
the Voorhees, Industrial school made
for the people somewhere around
two thousand gallons Of very good
syrup. 1t is very desirable food.
The children like it, it saves meat.
It is a cheap article of food when it
is grown at home. Let the farmers
of this county produce a bumper crop
of cane and thereby cut down the
cost Of living.
The Pig Crop.
Of all the crops the pig crop is one
that should not be overlooked, meat
has been very high year or more
and is destined to go higher. Thou
sands of hogs were DESTROYED in this
country by cholera few years ago.
This great loss has been seriously
felt by all the people. Let us get
back on firmer basis with the hog
business by organizing a pig club in
every family. Give each boy pig
this year and prosperity will soon re-
turn.-E. D. Jenkins, United States
farm demonstration agent, voorhees,

TEN MILLION WOMEN ARE PREPARING FOR
MOBILIZATION OF MERCY IN Time OF WAR!


BY KENNETH w. PAYNE
New York, Aug. 1.-THE mobili-
zation of mercy! The wOmen's pre-
paredness for war! Ten million Amer
lean woman organized so efficiently
for relief work in a military crisis that
by merely touching a key in New
York, machinery for supplying sol
dieTs' kits, red cross garments, hos
pitfalls and nurses would be set swift
~ in operation throughout the United
States!
That is the vast plan now being
worked out by a unique group of So
ciety leaders Of the east, under the
leadership Of Mrs. William AleXan-
der of New York, and with the CO.
operation Of scores of women like
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Jr., Mrs. Jay
Gould, Mrs. William Rockefeller and
Princess Pierre TrOUbetzkoy and Mrs.
Franklin D. Pelton.
The tremendous scheme of the
Special Relief society is to keep all
the women as effectively prepared for
their share in the war as the army is
prepared for its work. While Presi-
dent Wilson is silently studying out
the questions Of military prepared
ness these women are perfecting their
organization TO rthe notifications of
mercy which must cooperate with
the purely military branch in war
time.
The plan for this organization,
mapped out by Mr.. Alexander, is to
interest all the women's clubs, sew.
ing societies, committees, etc, in the |

work all over the country. Every club
will be asked to send in it's pledge of
the work it can best do, of the
amount of work that can be expected
of it, and of the time it will take to
deliver the product.
In the main Office of the society on
9Th aY lists of these clubs will be
kept, carefully indexed. Addressing
the women of America, Mrs. AIexan-
der says:
eve have sample kits for the regu-
lar and volunteer soldiers of the
United States, and we should like to
give you details for the making of
these kits. We note with concern
the general condition of unprepared-
ness in the United States and we feel
that the women of America should be
doing their part in preparing for an
emergency. We are therefore en-
deavoring to enlist the names of the
women's organizations in the cam
paign for an adequate national de-
Tense. If our idea of preparedness
meets with your approval, kindly send
the name of your organization to the
Special Relief society, SGT 5th aV.,
New York City"
AS the lists of these names are ac-
cumUlated, instructions will be sent
out to the volunteers. The sewing cir
cles will be told how best to buy their
material, what work they might best
undertake. The volunteer nurses will
be told how to prepare for hospital
service.
