Russia, for the strongest tie which
has bound the two races together is
their common religious faith.
But Turkeys decree has come too
late. Turkish Armenia has about

have died for their religious beliefs
for more than four hundred years and
their constancy to their tenets has

Mohammedism cannot be instilled in

beauty is only secondary? Do we
not set first and chiefest store upon
the human relationships of life?
Let this be the answer:
In San Francisco the other day a
woman who had been blind for 62
years was operated on by skillful sur
geons. Her sight was restored.
Before the bandages were taken of
she was asked what she wanted to
see first.
Much Of the literature dealing with
the experience of blindness might lead
us to believe that this woman would
long first to view the beauty of earth
and sky, Of sunsets, cleaning noun
tains. But such was not the woman's
wish. Asked what she wanted to see,
the woman answered.:
1T is my son, my great big boy.
Even now am sure ! know how he
looks, but, oh, how / have longed
really to see him!"

Aurora Fernandez, a poor Cuban

Celida, who has been secretly steal

Celida, summons all the fishermen in

Pedro, finding her, recognizes not only

Notwithstanding her pleadings not

"W1hy Is Charlie Chaplin?', by Cliff
ford Raymond in The Green Book
Magazine:
There are laughs which start
above the eyebrows and obtain no ex
preston, although they give great sat
isfaction. They have a very limited
patronage.
Then there are laughs above the
Adams apple which allow expression
ard yet seem to be related to the
mind.
Thirdly, brethren, there are what
are known as belly laughs, which
shake the body below the lungs IN
rapture and have no communication
whatever with the alleged mind. Such
laughs just exist They just come
and shake the frame of the person
whom they temporarily affect. They
are the answer of the human race to
its fate. When the human race
laughs above it's eyebrows, it accepts
its fate; when it laughs in the abdo.

CROP CONDITIONS.
(Wall Street JOurnal.)


Crop returns from spring wheat
sections do not improve. Instead,
they indicate progressive loss since
the bureau b report. Threshing in
South Dakota shows the yield will be
small. Instead of the high grade
wheat of last year, much will grade
No. 3. This means more wheat for
barrel Of flour Reports reaching this
city from North Dakota indicate a
widening damage area. 1t is likely
that threshing returns for the three
states Of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota will cut down the bureau esti-
mate Of August /. e, e. s.r, Iio.T =.
The report also showed a loss Of
S9000,000 bushels of corn in July.
With immediate rains this might have
been more than made good, but they
did not come: And, in consequence.
there have been sad losses In the corn
fields. When they did come, the fine
crops of Kansas and Oklahoma were
fired. In. Missouri and some of the
middle western states the tassels and
| silk of the early. corn were burned.
Wherever this is done, partially filled
ears will result. But the late corn
in these states will make a good &C.
counting of the moisture it has since
received; while the hot weather has
forced it forward. Not being in tas'
sci and silk. it benefited by what was
injurious to its seniors. Assuming
there will be no. more calamity
weather, late droughts and early
| frOsts, an. average corn crop would
be made. But weather maps now
| forecast still further loss in con.
dition.
The crop is spotted, but, as whole,
it is not fruiting heavily. Economy
in fertilizing, whether. voluntary or
| involuntary, is like saving at the spig.
OF and losing at the bunghole. The
Giles report, issued Friday, giving
condition as of August 10, estimates
the average condition Of the growing
crop at 69.8, compared with 70 a
month ago. This low condition points
to reduction in the september 1
government estimate, which will be
made up as of August Is.
But a bare statement of facts relat-
ing to these three important crops
conveys wrong impression to one
whose security values are Influenced
by crop news. Kansas suffers heavily
in corn, but looks at it's fine crop of
winter wheat. No one thinks of a
dry subject like hay, yet alfalfa IS
Kansas most valuable crop, and this
year the yield is great. There is
more alfalfa in the corn belt than
ever before. Corn has moved into
the spring wheat belt, and this year
will make up much of the loss SUI
fered by South Dakota and Mime
sofa. The splendid crops of Montana
will give much long haul business to
the railroads.
| There is more Investigation in the
cotton belt than formerly. The cam
paign for more livestock has borne
fruit, and damaged corn, with mil
lions of acres of crops which the in.
| weston may not even know by name,
are going into the silos and becom-
| ing foundation of railroad traffic.
Dig beneath the black rust, fired corn,
and boil weevils, and you will find
rural prosperity in the composite con-
dition of all the crops.

TOO GOOD.

Here is what a Brooklyn model hus
band did for twenty odd years:
Worked every day but one: stayed
home every night; saved his money;
Travelled sixteen miles a day between
his residence and office; bought a
home; gave his wife 500 each Christ
mas; allowed himself only carfare
and lunch money.
And this is what he didn't do.
Never witnessed ball game: new
er entered a theatre, cabaret or ether
amusement place! never attended an
outing or clambake; never drank beer
or liquors; never smoked or chewed
tobacco; never took vacation; never
allowed his affections to wander from
his home.
And now his wife is sueing for a ii
vorce. OF course. He isn't man
but fossil, and women are notori
ously Indifferent to fossils.
If that model husband will yanh nj:
wife's hair time or two, figuratively
speaking; take her to a theatre, tyot
out for a soda, and forget to CONF
back; steal in occasionally at 200 a
m, with his shoes in his hand anil
some other woman's gloves and pow
der puff in his pocket, he might have
had the lady eating out of his hand
But we are not Offering this as a
solution, however.

result in more careful application

Shortages.
In a recent issue of the Co-opera.
tive Manager and Farmer they advis'
ed the managers of farmers elevators
to educate the farmers up to the fact
that they should have at the end of
each year at every elevator a certain
amount of legitimate shortage. For
years the old line elevator companies
and the grain gang in general have
employed managers of elevator COM
panies and have expected them to de-
liver at the terminal markets just as
many pounds of grain as they receiV-
ed from the farmers. This mans
they they expected the managers TO
steal from the farmers, the natural
shrinkage of the grain. We are glad
to know that they are beginning to
advise honest methods in the grain
business. Anyone familiar with the
grain business knows that there is a
natural shrinkage in handling grain
and consequently if a manager does
not have small shortage at the end
of every year, he has been taking
from the farmers at the time the
grain was weighed, more pounds than
were recorded The right way to do
this is to. give every man an even
honest weight and then expect a rea-
sonable amount of shortage at the
end Of each year. ~. ...--~ ...7
g.re AN UNUSUAL REQUEST.
Mr.. Charles E.. Hass of Dunn Cen
ter, North Dakota, and Miss Sarah
Kraustad appeared at the Equity Elk
change Office last week with a very
unusual request. They had decided
to start a little cooperative enter
prise of their own, and wished the
assistance of someone who had more
or less experience in this line, and
after their wants were made known,
the President of the Exchange, Mr..
J. M. Anderson volunteered to give
them the assistance wanted. Mr.. An.
derson procured the license from the
Clerk of the Courts office, secured
a minister from nearby parsonage,
and without further delay the new
cooperative organization was incor.
porated, and bride and groom went
on their way rejoicing, with the best
wishes of the entire office force OF
the Equity Cooperative Exchange.

No one connected with the St. Paul
Office was aware of the fact that W.
A. Smith of the Equitable Audit Com.
pany was public speaker of no mean
ability. Recently Mr.. Smith went to
Medberry, North Dakota to audit their
set of books, and being present at
the Annual Meeting was called on to
speak in behalf of the Equity and for
one and one-half hours delivered an
address that would do the Equity
cause credit in any community. The
fact that Mr.. Smith could deliver an
address of this kind was not known
at the st. Paul Office until J. H. Slater
Of Medberry visited the office this
week. Mr.. Smith will no doubt be
called upon to repeat this stunt a,
other elevator meetings in the very
near future.
