RED CROSS TO AID
ARMENIA AND SYRIA.

| The Red Cross War Council has APP
propriated $500, 900 for relief work in
the Near East, through the Ameri-
can committee for the Armenian and
Syrian relief. This is the second APP
preparation of $500, 900 to the Armen-
ian relief committee
Owing to the position taken by the
Turkish government, the American
committee for Armenian and Syrian
relief is the only American organiza-
ton authorized to carry on any kind
of relief work in the Ottoman En-
pire. In no theater of the war have
populations experienced greater suf-
fering than in Armenia, Palestine and
the Caucasus.
The American committee has been
able to carry succor to the stricken
people in these territories through
the efforts of American, Swiss, Swe-
dish and Danish missionaries. Nearly
one hundred of these men are now
stationed throughout Asia Minor SUI
pervising the distribution of supplies.
Three commissioners supervise the
work, serving without pay and bear
ing their own expenses abroad
One of the main branches of the
committees activities, to which the
Red Cross is lending it's support, Is
the training of women and children
among the refugees to be self-sup-
porting. Boys are being taught han
dicraft and building trades, while
many of the women are being sup
piled with wool and taught how to
fashion it into garments for the
children.
Estimates laid before the Red
Gross by the American committee,
show that there are more than two
million people in western Asia whose
death can be prevented by direct and
continued help from America The
care of orphan children is also diff
cult problem, and their number is es-
tImated to run into the hundred thou
sands. Ten cents a day per person
is the minimum on which life can BE-
sustained in the refugee camps or in
the family groups.
Since the organization of the Ar
menian and Syrian relief committee
on October 1, 1915, it has distributed
about $3.70O,000 in relief work. Prac-
tically all of this money has been
raised by subscriptions in the United
States,
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-09-09

textbooks, binoculars, pulmotors, hos
pital requisites and other equipment
that adds to their comfort and safety.
The money is raised by donat ,ns
of discarded jewelry, cid plate and
everything in the way of gold and sill
yer, all of which will be melted into
ignots and converted into money.
There is a tender sentiment con-
nected with giving boarded treasures
to this worthy cause which appeals
strongly to loyal women folk end the
ladies in charge of the work locally
are confident of liberal response on
Pensacola's Treasury and Trinket
Day."
Whatever sum is realized here will
be given to the fund as a gift from
all the ladies of Pensacola and not
as the donation of the league, which
is conducting the campaign as its
work of helpfulness in the war.

Superhuous Hair Roots
Entirely New and instantaneous

less and non-irritating

tions-and see the hair roots come out
with your own eyes. No depiIatory or
electrical treatment can produce this re-
suit. The skin is left soft, smooth and
hairless as a child S. Phelactne can be
used with absolute safety could
even eat 1t with impunity If it doesn't
do exactly as claimed, you can have
your money back without QUESTIONABLE.

MY PEARL.

God gave to me a treasure,
A pure and flawless Pearl;
To keep within my safety vault,
Protected from the world.
Twas like unto a chrysalis,
And grew from day to day;
Until it burst its out-most shell,
AS if 'twould fly away.
But yet it still expanded,
Securely confined;
Within my safety vault so strong
By iron bands entwined.
But yet it still expanded,
From day to day it grew;
Until it burst those iron bands.
AND they asunder flew.
! wonde5 ed in my soul of souls,
Why my Pearl would not stay;
Within my safety vault confined,
But stroye to break away.
And then my treasure spoke to me;
Dear Mother let me go;
And fight for our America,
Why will you hold me SO?
So long in prison | have lain,
Though kind my keeper be;
I feel the pangs of the oppressed,
Who are longing to be free
/ even hear the Tyrants tread,
While nearing this loved shore;
lAnd if He once should override,
Well be free, Nevermore.
Our Flag of Red, White and Blue,
Its folds filings forth to me;
A 1t pleads, Protect me from insult,
Thy emblem Of the free.
So now dear Mother dry your tears,
For God will keep your son;
Immune until this vietory's gained,
And world wide freedom won.
Ashamed / stood with head bowed
down,
Forgive dear God | cried;
For holding back your Jewel rare,
To my own selfish side.
SO take the Pearl thou gavest me,
And use, and use IL still:
And use me too dear God j pray,
To do Thy Holy will.

lthese crops planted early this fall will make splendid pasture during the winter and spring.
 Lands for these crops should he broken after the corn and cotton arc laid by and before harvesting of thesa crops begins. If cultivation is kent up in good shaps the wheat and oats may be sown in the cotton middles with little additional preparation. Too often farmers wait until seeding time. then broadcast the wheat or oats on the surface and break them in with stirring blow, and freezing out in the winter often results. In all cases the soil should be prepared in good shape, leveled off and the clods broken before the seed is sown. The covering may then be done with a harrow if drill Is not available. Small grain crops sometimes are disappointing because they have been sown in the poorest soil on the farm. Use good soil. The last two weeks in October is about the right time to SOW in the southern part of the state. Seeding in the northern half of ~.the state should be few days earlier. Early seeding will prevent winter killing to large extent and will produce more pasture.
 Winter turf oats will far outyield Spring oats if put in properly. If Winter turf seed cannot be secured the Red Rust Proof varieties will give splendid results in the south half of the state.
 Every farm should have at least five acres of wheat and oats, and in sections where they have been grown with some degree of success the acre age should be much more.
