POLAND RELIEF

son today told a large delegation Of
representatives Of Polish organizations
that he would make personal efforts
to get relief to the starving in Poland.
1t is understood he is considering a

nations involved to allow distribution

The President characterized condi-
tions in Poland as "tragicaI' and de-

wall"
Senator Hitchcock introduced the
delegation. The committee told the
President that what is now needed is
permission from Great Britain to al
low ships carrying food to pass the
British blockade and assurances from
Germany that the food sent from the

SECRETS THAT TRAVELLED.
Ansora Goats and Tea Plant Finally
Reach United States.
(Farm and Fireside)


There was a time when the Turkish
on persons caught trying to smuggle
out of the empire the best breeds Of
Angora goats. In 1881 Californian,
DR.. Bailey, bought four goats in Tur-
key, carried them on mules, camels,
and ina closed carriage for some hun
dreds Of miles, sheared off their
luxuriant wool, rolled them in coal
dust to make them look common and
dlsreputable. and escaped with the
sultans goats and a whole skin. The
descendants Of these goats are found
on ranches in the West and Southwest,
crossed with Angoras from South
Africa and other parts of the world
Once the government of China and
Japan guarded with similar jealousy
the expectation of the tea plant. Some
one escaped with some seed or cut
tings, however some forty years ago,
and the original plantation of SNUG
gled tea plants is still fourishing in
South Carolina.
Fifty years ago Brazil was engaged
in an effort to keep the rubber tree
in confinement in that empire. The
seed was struggled to Ceylon. how
ever. and for half a century East
Indian planters have been perfecting
the rubber tree until now the best
plantations are there rather than in
Brazil. and the Brazilians who want
the best varieties send to Ceylon,
Java and other Asiatic countries for
their trees for planting.
The sultan lost his goat the man.

given the Asiatics the plague Of the

have sent us the San Jose scale, the
gypsy moth, and several other pests.

Thursday proved to be another hot
day and while the mercury failed to
climb as high by several degrees as it
did on Wednesday the verdict of plenty
hot enough seemed unanimous. A gen.
tie breeze prevailed during the day
and added much to the comfort Of
everyone. The latter part of the after
noon shower brought relief and a
drop of several degrees in the temper
allure was noticeable. The shower was
preceded by a wind storm which for
a few minutes was quite severe and
the flying clouds Of dust on Water
street was anything but pleasant to
those who were obliged to encounte,
it. The GOODNESS following the shower
continued during the night and was a
welcome relief from the sweltering
heat that prevailed throughout the day.

Back to Live Stock,
breeders GaZette)


The hunger for live stock on the
farm plainly is evident. Ten dolla:
market quotations look good to men
without cattle, hogs or sheep. as well
as to those who are selling them. It
is not surprising that western heifers
should be advertised at 50 to 81 per
head more than steers, or that govern
mental aid should have been given in
western Canada to farmers buying
stock
Last year through official encourage
ment, Saskatchewan farmers bought
several times as much breeding stock
IS the year before, mainly cattle and
sheep. There was an immense grain
crop and a good market for it, but the
stock was wanted anyway. In this
country there is much the same in
centive. There are some who flop
from grain to live stock and back
gain as markets dLctuate. But there
is room and the need for more live
stock, even If markets for it were low
er.
High markets serve a useful purpose
at this time in turning attention to the
possibilities Of stock farming. Men

Some men do not know a good thing
when they see it, unless it Is tagged
