GOING BACK INTO HISTORY
Italians and Greeks, With Small
Forces, Captured ccnstantlnopIe
In Year 1883.

On account OF the feet that the
Turks are in this great European war
1t is interesting TO recall from the
pages OF history thai on May 29. 1853.
the forces OF the Italians and Greeks,
numbering only about 1900, con
snered Constantinople against an esti-
mated defending army OF Turks OF
100000. This has been disputed In
history as to numbers engaged, but
the salient fact remains that the city
founded by the Emperor Constantine
was captured by the Italians and
Greeks at that time.
The days following the Crusades had
been marked by changes indescribable
in brief description. The Mohamme-
dan element had become dominant.
Then IN political movement che liai-
fans and Greeks assaulted the very
citadel OF Mohammedism and after q
long fight against tremendous odds
captured the then rather insignificant
capital OF the Gateway TO the Orient.
which has been the scene OF many
strifes since that time and is now one
OF the main issues of the greatest OF
all wars. The Arabic peoples had been
aroused by the growth of Mohamme-
danism. The thought that n devotee
OF Islamism died for his faith he was
at once destined to translation to the
seventh heaven was paramount to all
other thoughts. Then 1t was that the
uprising OF the Christian Latins and
Greeks intruded into the long years OF
the rule OF Islam and conquered Con-
stantinople.

Feedlno Plants.

DO you ever think of inviting youi
plants to dinner? An expert in plant
life who took large number of sun
dew plants and supplied half Of them
with heterogeneous food in the form OF
roast beef arrived at the following
facts: OF the plants that he fed, 69
per cent more survived than Of the
same number that were not fed In
this way their stems weighed Al per
cent more. they excelled the starved
plants in the number of their seeds by
14l per cent, and in the aggregate
weight OF their seeds by 27e per cent.
other scientists who have fed these
plants with aphides of similar small
insects have secured like results.

Each army now fighting in Europe
uses rife different from that ssea by
each OF the others. The Russians
have the longest rife, the French the
longest bayonet, while the Austrians
use the heaviest bullet The rifles
with the largest calibers are those of
the French and the Austrians. The
German rife attains the greatest muz-
zle velocity. The British have the

added the weapon is longer than the

Peter the Great.

What Alfred the Great is to early
Britain. that Peter the Great. in his
crude way, is to Russia If ever race
of people found adequate expression
In one person. that race was the Slavic
race in their great czar. AS an acorn
enfolds an oak. the type Of great
forest. so Peter the Great enfolded
the Russian people. Into him they
have flowed from the twilight of time.
and from him they have gone out to
the ends of the earth. And this was
one of his dreams. that his country
might have ample boundaries. From

GRADING FARM AND
GARDEN PRODUCTS
Where Work Is Done Honestly
Ready Sale and High Prices
Are Obtained.

CBy e. p. SANDSTEN. Colorado Agri-
cultural College.)
Well packed and honestly graded
farm and garden produce will always
command ready sale and higher
prices than carelessly packed and dis
honestly graded goods.
The greatest asset Of the manufac-
turer is his commercial honesty, and
this honesty is evident in uniform
quality and the careful pack and dis
play Of his goods. In other words, his
goods are standardized.
Farm and garden produce may be Of
the highest quality, but If the packing
is carelessly done, and in old and
dirty retainers, the discriminating
buyer will not buy and the producer
is forced to accept lower price. The
practice of facing the packages with
produce of the highest quality and
then filling the remainder with infe.
rior goods, is plain dishonesty and does
much to prevent both the honest and
dishonest producer from obtaining the
market value. The producers first
aim should be to establish a reputa-
ton for his products. and when this is
accomplished more than half of the
selling problem is solved. Each pro-
Queer should have his packages la
beled with his personal label or trade
mark. This would indicate that the
producer is willing to stand behind his
goods.
