Armenians Slaughtered by Thou

Sultan Evacuate City.
GARRISON MAKES IT'S ESCAPE

LONDON, Feb. 1s.-while full
details OF the capture Of Erserum,
Turkish Armenia, are still lacking,
semi-official advices from Petrograli
are to the effect that most Of the
Turkish garrison made their escape.
Thousands Of Armenians are de-
clared to have been massacred by
Kurds before the evacuation.
There has been considerable ar
tillery activity arounh the positions
taken by the Germans recently from
the British In the vicinity Of Ypres
and several attempts by the British
to recapture their lost ground by In
fantry attacks.
Attacks RaDulsed.
Berlin says the attacks were repulsed
with heavy casualties. With the excep-
ton OF a French assault against the
Germans south of the Somme. which
Berlin also declares was put down. the
artillery OF both sides has been the sole
instrument OF warfare along the French
front.
The Australians and Italians at vari-
Gus points are still engaged IN artillery
duels and occasional infantry maneu-
vers, but no notable victories have been
won on either side Vienna reports less
activity than usual on the part OF the
italian guns
In Albania the Austro-Hungarians re-
inforced by Albanians, presumably ir-
regulars. have occupied nevaya. which
lies eight miles southwest Of Durazzo
and three miles from the Adriatic,
Have IL Nearly surrounded.
BY the capture Of this town II would
seem that the Teutons nearly have Du-
raz5o surrounded. The gendarmes of
Essad Pasha, provisional president Of
Albania. who defended Kavaya, made
their escape from the town and fled on
a ship into the Adriatic.
Essad Pasha has been deprived of his
rank and removed from the Turkish
army list for having assumed the lead
ership of the provisional government OF
Albania and Joined the ranks Of the en-
tente allies.

The Prayermeeting.

Dear Editor: II wish to make
a plea for more and better pray
er meetings. They are undoubt-
edly one of the instituted means
of grace, according to the teach
ings of the New Testement.
Why should anyone desire to sup
plement the teachings of that
Book? We are told that Paul
started his missionary work in
Europe at a prayer meeting, and
it was by prayer that the early
church was kept alive. So the
church needs the same influence
to-day. We are exhorted not to
forsake the assembling of our
selves together, for Where two
or three are gathered together in
my name, there will be in the
midst of them" 1t is good to
be where Christ is. He promis-
ed to bless US there. Why, then,
are some of the churches so slow
in making use of the prayer meet
ing as a means Of strength to
the church and to the individual?
What | think is wrong about it
is, that the wires are not con-
nected with the Power-house.
The Power house is right, but
our wires are disconnected. We
can get along in our churches
without steeples, chandeliers and
organs, but we cannot get along
without the constant wires of
prayer connecting the church
with our spiritual Power House.
Christ, the Head of the Church.
Satan thinks he has gained a vic
tory when he can get a church to
abolish its prayer meetings.
The most vital prayer meetings
are those where individuals meet
intimately; for when a sincere
soul cries out in testimony or in
prayer, other souls are kindled,
and we should cultivate this per-
sonal quality. There should be
an object at each prayer meeting
Some have subjects, but they hit
nothing because they aim at no
object. The weekly prayer meet
ing of Christian with Christian,
and all with Christ, in a meeting
of the human and the Divine, is
the only true prayer meeting.

Had Roots.

j. Frank, Hess, near Warfords-
burg, dropped a dollar into our
till lastMonday and then told the
following story. More than Il
years ago, Ayr township and a
manufacturer of road machinery
had dispute about the owner
ship and payment of a scraper.
1t seems the case was never set
tied in court. The machine was
stored" under a walnut tree on
James Cooper's farm near Web
ster Mills where it remained un-
til Monday when Mr.. Hess then
bought it of Mr.. Cooper for stor-
age charges. Horses were hitch
ed to the scraper to move it out
into the road, but, "All the Kings
horses and all the Kings men
could not have budged it from
its long resting place. Attempts
were then made with crowbars
to raise the wheels out of the
ground. Nothin' doin'. The
earth was then shoveled away
and it was discovered that roots
as thick as mans wrist were
holding the machine. At first
it was thought that the wheels
had sprouted roots, and that per-
haps, q new machine might grow
from them if let alone. But the
deal had been made, and Mr..
Hess wanted to transplant it on
his own farm and the roots were
cut away. They proved to be
walnut roots that had looped
themselves over the rims Of the
wheels. 1t is not likely there
fore, that Mr.. Hess will advertise
"Scraper Seed" for sale this fall.

Church Dedicated.

Zion M. E. Church, of Thomp-

Sunday. A crowd, estimated at

building, was present. The struc

of the evening services the debt
was practically wiped out. Rev.

ton.
Zion church is built of concrete
blocks, is one story, and of suffi-
cient seating capacity to accom-
modate the membership and ad-
herents. The community is to be
congratulated for having COM
pleted this modern building.

Rural Credits.

With government machinery at
work-State and National-to
advance farming sinterests in
America, the financial and of the
business has, naturally, received
attention from our law makers,
and a rural credit system more
or less suitable to the needs of
farmers seems about to be estab-
lished.
Briefly, it may be stated that
the system calls for twelve Feder-
al land-bank districts with local
branches to be called National
Farm Loan Associations, the sys-
tenn being patterned after the
present Federal Reserve plans.
Ten or more farmers who desire
to borrow money may form an
organization and apply for local
bank charter. The detailed plans
are too long to publish here. But
the central idea is, that farmers
will be accommodated with long
time loans, on easy payments, to
put them on a footing with cor
porations that raise money by
bond issue--th farmers paper
to be taken up by investors same
as bonds.
However, each borrowers farm
must become security for the loan
in double the amount borrowed.
We cannot see how this will help
eastern farmers who can borrow
from private individuals on long
time at as low rate of interest as
is proposed for the land thanks
6 per cent.
1t may help westerners whose
neighbors are not money-lend-
ers, and where legal rates of in
terest are higher than in eastern
states.

BACK YARD AND CHARACTER.
Little Talks on Health and IlJ giene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

Bret Hart once wrote a story
in which he pointed out that for
an insight into the occupants true
character one must look at the
back and not at the front of a
mans house. Here was knowl-
edge of human nature. If we
want to estimate character ac-
curately we must have an all
around view and not accept face
values.
This brings US again to the
question of back yards. Is yours
as clean and well kept as you can
make it or is it Uttered with
trash, cans, kindIing and other
rubbish? Is the garbage and
waste properly covered and free
from flies? Is the stable and out
house a fly breeding center for
the neighborhood? You have
work ahead of you for your own
health's sake and for the sake of
decency if any Of these condi-
tions exist.
1t is privilege to have a back
yard even a small one. There
are thousands of dwellers in the
cities where land is sold by the
square foot, who yearn for a lit
tie space to call their own. And
those who are so fortunate as to
have back yards should care for
them and make use of them.
If there are children in the
family the back yard should be
their playground. A doll house,
turning pole, swing or a tent
will provide almost unlimited en-
tertainment and help to keep the
children off the streets.
If there are no children in the
family, a shovel, a rake, a hoe
and a moderate sized back yard
garden should afford reasonable
amount of healthful exercises
combined with pleasure and prof
it.

Would You?

If you had 1000 bushels OF
wheat to sell this year, would you
sell one bushel to each of 1,00C
people at 81. 90 a bushel and sell
it all on credit? Then after about
400 had paid for their bushel
would you go ahead and spend
So. 90 next year to raise and sell
l, 600 bushels more on the same
terms ? Would you do the same
thing the third year so that you
would have spent at least So, 400
for labor and material during the
three years only to receive pay
ment for 1000 bushels, leaving
1900 bushels in the hands of
your debtors to make you gray
headed wondering how to meet
your bills? Would you?
Do you say it is foolish to talk
that way? That no business man
is foolish enough to do business
that way? Well, if you are right,
then every country editor is fool
ish, for that is the way he must
run a paper or quit. Again: If
you sent a polite request to those
who overlooked the date on which
their bushel became due, asking
them to please let you have your
dollar or two doll ars-and
some of those who bought of you
should say well, if you can't
trust me | will not buy again, ="
would it hurt your feelings too?
Or, would you just keep on
spending thousands of dollars to
raise more bushels and take
chances on getting paid for some
of it?
1t is said that there is no money
in wheat at so cents bushel.
Listenl 1t costs about, 80 cents a
year to send a weekly newspaper
for which we get a dollar for
some of them--not all for every
editor gets stuck. ="
We have heard it said frequent
ly that THE Editors dollar comes
easy" In the light of the fore
going truthful statement will any
one again say The editors dol
lar comes easy"
After a paper has run two
years, the loss of interest at 5
per cent amounts to 10 cents,
which, added to the original cost
80 cents brings the cost to the
editor to just $1.O0, leaving him
no profit whatever except the
"funl' Of editing the paper.
