HONORED BY TURKS
American Missionary Is Given the
Order of Red Crescent.
Herolsm Displayed in Care Of Wounded
and Sick Wins Recognition
From officials.

The Turks at Sivas have honored
Miss Mary Louise Graffam, an Amerl-
can missionary, by presenting her with
the order of the Red Crescent for her
devotion to the care of the wounded
and sick.
The Red Crescent is Turkish or
ganization corresponding to the lieu
| Cross.
When the war broke out Miss Graf
fam was at the head Of the American
boards system of schools for girls IN
| Sivas and its outstationS. Early IN
that first terrible winter Erzerum, 2OO
miles away and near the battle line'
became one fever camp from typhuS.
The Sivas missionaries offered to send
a group of helpers including DOCTORS
pharmacists, nurses, etc., to the heu
Cross of Erzerum. Miss Graffam was
q member of the party. The journey
in midwinter over the mountains, IN
cold and storm, took three weeks.
The day after they got there, Mrs.
Sewny, an American nurse, learned
that her husband, physician, lay
dying of typhus in village ut the
front. Miss Graffam went with her
through deep snow, fording unknown
rivers at night and within sound OF
cannon most of the way. The doctor
died and 1t took the women two days
to get back to Erzerum.
The need was so great that Miss
GRAHAM, though with slight knowl
edge of Turkish and an acquaintance
with hospital work gained only from
casual observation, was put In charge
of hospital for Turkish officers. Herr
for four months she filed difficult po
sition successfully.
In the spring, while on the return

panion, Swiss nurse, died at Srzin
gan Of malignant typhus. The pluck

Land to be planted to corn the fol-
lowing spring, especially such land as
has laid In grass for considerable
time and Is likely to contain cutworms,
should be plOwed In midsummer or
early fall about the time the eggs are
laid, or better, before the eggs are laid,
for then vegetation which Is suitable
for the moths to lay their eggs upon
Is removed. The earlier the preceding
year grasslands TO be planted to corn
ore plowed, the less will be the prOba-
bility that the cutworm moths will
have laid their eggs thereon, and the
less consequently, will be the danger
of injury by cutwOrms the following
year.
Last fall and winter plowing OF
prasslands, although not as effective
as early plowlng, will destroy many Of
the alternating cutwOrms, as well a'
