THEY Al HATE Us.

Richard Harding Dayle, who has
been spending some months IN the
countries of the entente allies, writes
back home that Americans, IN gen.

in particular. are quite unpopular IN
both England and France. lie says

they charge that many Of our manu-
faeturers have cheated them on goods

reported that one order OF $4,000

SEEMED TO ACT WITH MALICE
Machine Inflicted Serious Injuries
on New Jersey Farmer.

Eugene Peterson, a well-known
farmer and dairyman, was terribly in
jured in a peculiar accident on his
farm near here. He was feeding corn
stalks into a fodder-cutting machine,
and accidentally stuck his pitchfork
into the rapidly-revolving fywheel.
The handle of the pitchfork was
twisted from the farmers hands and,
whirling around, struck him in the
jaw, breaking the bone on both sides.
Hurled from the wheel with terrific
force, the fork struck Peterson and
one of the sharp prongs pierced his
throat. A farm hand carried him, un-
conscious, to the farmhouse, where
Doctor Hustled of Woodstown tempo

ANALYZING THE TURK
Not the Fearful Individual He Has
Been Pictured.
Profound FataIist and Devout Believer
in His Religion, He Has Innumer.
able Good Points That Might
Be Copied.

There is an old Turkish saying in
these words; when we are driven
out of Constantinople, we will go to
Broussa; when we are expelled from
Broussa, we will fly to paradise" The
saying gives a very good insight into
the character of the Turk as he really
is.
Fatalism and simple but profound
belief in his religion are two of his
strongest characteristics. Although he
Will tell the most outrageous false
hoods and exercise the deepest cum
ming in driving bargain, he is, in the
main, simple SOUL contented with
little, and blessed with the most en-
viable powers of endurance.
In many ways, of course, the Turk
is an abomination, and utterly out of
place in twentieth-century Europe, but
he has his points, as only those who
have travelled and studied him at
home can properly appreciate. He is
not the complete villain and ragamuf-
fin he is so popularly supposed to be.
AS BELTS the introducer of the Turk
ish bath to the rest of the world, the
Turk is scrupulously clean person
where his own body is concerned. His
towns and streets may be, and mostly
are, filthy; but not so the Turk him
self. Soap is scarce in Turkey-to the
majority of the inhabitants it is an un-
known luxury-but the religion of Is
lam demands daily bathing, as we'll as
| certain ablutions before oft-repeated
prayers.
The religion of the Turk also keeps
him sober, while his kindness to dumb
animals certainly puts many more
civilized and enlightened folk to burn
ing shame. The prosecution of Turk
for cruelty to animals is an unknown
thing; no Moslem would ever over
work his horse or his donkey, or beat
his dog He would as soon assault his
own father.
The Turk has an extraordinary and
apparently inevitable way of immedi-
ately deteriorating when he has any
official" work to undertake, or when
he is bonded with others of his race
for any purpose, but by himself, in pri-
vate life, he is often quite a charming
person. He is courteous, he is kind,
he is considerate, he is hospitable, and
he has a sense of humor. In fact,
when he likes, the Turk can be a per.
feet gentleman with perfect manners
But, unfortunately, the bad traits
of the Turk far outnumber the good
ones. The position which he allows to
his women, for instance, is archaic.
For a few years Turkish girl is
allowed to run about and play and mix
with little boys in a more or less ra.
tional manner, except that not much
attention is given to her clothes, and
her attendance at school, despite com
pulsory schooling being in force, is not
! generally insisted upon.
But very early there comes a change
Her mother looks at her and says she
is growing big, and she must put on a

reaching down to the ankles and up
to the top of the head, and it impedes
the child's movements, naturally. She
must also wear a thick veil, never see
a little boy again. and never speak to
any man but her father until she is
married
The majority of Turkish girls marry
the man their mother chooses for
them. But as the mother may see no
man except her own husband, she
must rely upon the advice-based on
runnors and hearsay of her woman
friends-or else employ a professional
matchmaker
After she is married Turkish wom-
an just sits" She sits for hour after
hour, placidly, with her hands folded,
in the manner of sleepy cat. A days
shopping or rowboat trip on the
Golden Horn is thrilling event in her
life. She plays very distinct second
fiddle to her mother-in.law, who re-
tains first call upon her sons purse
and larder, and such pastimes as read
ing books, playing cards, tennis or golf
are nearly unknown to Turkish
women.
TIE Turk hates reform; what was
good enough for his father-and his
father before him-is quite good
enough for him; and although he
sometimes wakes up for a moment
and passes laws for this or that mod
ernizing of his country or his national
life, his enthusiasm soon dies down
and the laws are ignored or else re.
duced to an absurdity by reason OF
the corruption of the officials appoint
ed to carry them out.

Perseverance Rewarded.

A prominent writer, who likes a
drop of two with his meals, goes oc-
casionally to a cafe on Broadway for
luncheon. He makes a point Of sit
ting at the same table whenever pos
sible, so that he has become fairly
well acquainted with the waiter in
charge of that table. This particular
cafe is one of the few in New York
where the walters are colored men.
The other day he slipped into his
fayorite place and reached for the
menu. In an instant the waiter,
whose name is Gabe, was lowering
over him.
Il s'pose you wants a little Scotch
and worter to start off wid?' said
Gabe, remembering mighty well his
patrons habit.

Rslnbows' Ends on Missouri Farms.

RofHhOWo EUuH oH Niteo0uil FdEUlns
Missourians have too long looked
toward other lands as places of prom
ise, when, in fact, the end OF the rain
bow is on the old home farm, where
is hidden the tabled pot of gold.
Missouri is not a one-crop state,
and no Missouri farmer need put all
his eggs in one basket. Neither a
northern nor southern state, but
located in the very center Of the
agricultural universe, Missouri, of all
the states, is alone able to give en-
ployment to both cotton pickers and
leo hands. The United States de-
partment of agriculture reports 1915
crop yields as follows: Corn, 209, 9,OOO,-
900 bushels; wheat, 34,100,O00 bush
els; oats, 31,S00,OOO bushels; barley,
125,000 bushels; rye, $4,000 bushels;
flaxseed, $4,000 bushels; potatoes, s.
100000 bushels; sweet potatoes, 700,-
bushels; hay, 4,640,000 tons; tobacco,
3,150,000 pounds; cotton, $4,000 bales.
These crops are valued at more than
S2O0,000,000. Then there are poultry,
dairy, apiary and timber products,
whose values mount into millions. In
addition are many minor crops and
by-products, from sunflower seed to
cob pipes. OF the latter-the "Mis-
souri, Meerschaum"-we manufacture
more than 25,OOO,OOO, or enough to
enable all fighting Europe to smoke
the pipe of peace.
In past years many good but mis-
guided Missourians, mistaking a mir
age in the desert for the promised
land, have gone West or Southwest.
But why should they have gone?
Greeley's advice is no longer good.
Missouri has more bluegrass-the
grass that stands for permanent
farming and soil fertility-than is
grown in all the states to her west.
Missouri has more milch COWS than
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma or any
western state; more sheep than any
state that borders her; more hogs
than any state in the Union, save two,
and neither of them to the west.

Ask Graves, Appointment.

Governor Major has telegraphed
to President Wilson the following in
dorsement of Judge w. w. Graves
for appointment to the United States
supreme court to succeed Justice La
mar.
Mr.. President-I wish to strongly
urge the appointment of Judge w.
W. Graves of the supreme court of
the state of Missouri for appointment
on the bench of the supreme court of
the United States tc fill the place
made vacant by the death of Justice
]. r. Lamar.
Judge Graves is easily one of the
ablest jurists that has sat upon the
supreme bench of this state, and is
one Of the ablest iurists of the coun-
try. can strongly recommend him
because of his high rank in the pro-
fession. He is a citizen of high class,
a good Democrat, and would fill the
place with great distinction and in
no way lower the high record made
by that great tribunal of the republic.
have presented almost so cases to
the supreme court of the United
Sites within the lst five or six yers,
and have no hesitancy in saying that
Judge Graves can measure up to all
that you would wish. He is one of
the most popular men in our common
wealth. Respectfully,
ELLIOTT w. MAJOR,
Governor"
hn Nd %
for the federal bench by Gov. Major
is regarded as significant, because
the executive has been active in the
movement to induce Judge Graves
to become candidate for governor.
Million Dollars from Income Tax.
There is only one man in all Mis-
souri, who has yearly income of half
million dollars, according to figures
of the federal government sent the bu-
reau of labor statistics. His name is
kept secret for obvious reasons, but
for he pays taxes on it.
During the fiscal year which closed
June 3. 1915, the federal authorities
collected $934,139 as income taxes
from 11,62S men and women of Mis-
souri, whose earnings, one way or an
other exceeded $4,000 a year. This
was considerable improvement in
amount over that collected the pre-
vious year, when Uncle Sam only de-
rived S656,514 from Missouri.
OF the ,628 Missourians paying an
income tax in 1915, 1896 were either
married men or women, and there
fore they had only to pay on the sum
which exceeded $4,000 a year Sim
gle men to the number of 1888 and
GAO unmarried women, and also 50
married women rendering separate re-
turns, paid on an income exceeding
$4,000 per year.
To give an idea of how wealthy
other Missourians besides the one
with s5OO,OOO every year, there are II

summing from 100000 to $15O,O0O; 15

Spending More Than Collected.
The state administration has suffi-
cient revenue in sight to meet cur
rent expenses for the next four or
five months, after which a deficiency
will appear which will grow until the
close of the year, according to esti-
mates made from State Treasurer
Deals annual statement, just re-
leased. The deficit is variously esti-
mated at from $5OO,OOO to more than
million dollars.
The administration spent $355,127.-
80 more than it collected in revenues
during the year 1914, according to
State Treasurer Deal. OF this excess
in expenditures, $29,2S2.4S was ex-
pended on the state penitentiary to
meet deficit of that amount in the
operating expenses of the institution.
The balance in the state treasury
applicable to the coming years ex-
penses is given at $3,9S3, ,296.6S. This
is S958,715.O5 less than one year ago.
The revenue fund at present stands
at $17e,81753, but there is a Judgment
against this fund of $334,000 under a
decision of the state supreme court
in the school fund case.
The balance in all the revenue
funds is S355, 1918 less than it was a
year ago.
The state penitentiary earned dur
ing last year $387,451.8O and spent
$416,734.28.
