one MORE Sow

Would Increase louisiana's Pork pro
duction BY 100000 Pounds.

According TO Mr. Hoover, the de-
mands of our allies for our pork pred
ucts during the next rhyee months
will be 15o, ,0Oo. 900 POUNDS per msoo,
as compared to 5O.aes 600 pesands in
pre-war times. And 10 accomplish
this he estimates II viii require saw
ing of al least Is psv cent in these
products.
The question arisss, therefore, what
saould Louisiana eontFtbaae towara
this large demand of 0s associates IN
war for these products?
Figures do not always tell the
whole truth. but they may serve
useful purpose in endeavsrins 10
reach an approximation.
Louisiana is said 10 have at least
5000. 900 acres of arabic av oaltsvabie
land. II we should nsure farm
holding at $50 acres. this would give
the state approximately 33,s5o farms
of $50 acres each. II only one brood
SOW should be added to each farm, II
would give an increase Of 3S,Sso
sows. If each sow should harrow ae
average of five pigs at a litter twice
A year, il would give an increase oil
$685. pigs. which, At the average
weight OF 100 pounds each, would give
33.36O,o0O pounds Of pork. But II only
half OF the pigs, representing the male
progeny, should be turned into pork,
and the SOW pags kept for breeding
purposes, il would stM give 16,676,O0o
pounds of pork AT lN0 pounds per pig.
Just think what a contribution
Louisiana could make IN very short
time, to the urgent demands ef our
allies for pork products, II only one
SOW should be added to each lb0
acres of the cultivabls land in the
state.
or course Il is not possible to Sc
cure 100 per cent success on calcu'
lation of this kind, as there are nu-
merous factors that would arise TO
prevent its accomplishment But the
figures are near enough, and impress
siye enough, to warrant attention
being drawn to the subject at this
time, when the importance Of food
seems to overshadow almost every
thing else connected with the war and
its successful termination. Our farm
srs should give some serious thought
to this matter-W H. Dalrymple,

Since you closed your eyes. dear father
You the light Of day;
But you are not forgotten, dear father.
Though We cease to see your face,
The world is full of dear ones
But none can fill your place,

But God has taken to Himself
The one We loved so dear
The months are full Of sorrow
And the days more sadly on
For life has lost its cheerfulness

Some Questions Answered.


are today absolutely dependent upon its
continuance.
What is the Relation of this Work to
The American Red Gross?
The closest and most helpful rela-
tions possible have from the first been
sustained between the American Red
Cross and the American Committee for
Armenian and Syrian Relief. The treas
urer of the Armenian and Syrian Relief
Committee was chairman Of the COM
mittee that brought about the organiza-
tion of the Great Red Cross War Coun-
Gil. The officers of the two organiza-
tions are in constant consultation, hav.
ing but one dominant aim-the largest
possible relief for the sufferings of
mankind.
The American Committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian Relief cooperated in
every possible way in the Red Cross
campaign for 100000, 900 last May and
the War Council of the American Red
in turn has given its endorsement to
the Armenian and Syrian Relief Com
mittee by appropriatfng 100000 per
month for a period Of six months to
the Armenian and Syrian Relief Com
mittee for relief work in Western Asia.
In doing this, however, they recog-
nize that substantial and important
as this appropriation is it is WHOLLY
INADEQUATE to meet the full need,
and that to provide for the entire mum,

aid would practically exhaust the en-

In the first place it should be remem
bered that large number of these
people are helpless refugees wholly
outside of the Turkish dominions. In
the Russian Caucasus alone there are
350,O00 refugees who have fled from
Turkey to the protection of Russian soil
They have NOW been more than two
years exiled from their homes in a
strange land and under a demoralized
government that cannot give them sup
port.A quarter of million of this mum
Der are now in dire distress. Over l00,-
900 of them are orphans whose parents
perished in the so-called deportations.
Large numbers of refugees are likewise
found on the Urumia Plain of western
Persia and throughout Mesopotamia as
far south as Bagdad and the site of old
Babylon. These refugees are now under
Russian and British flags and every
facility is granted to our committee to
sustain them until they can be restored
to their romes on a self supporting basis.
To care adequately for these refugees
alone would more than exhaust all the
Committee 8 available resources. i.
But the Committee is pleased to re-
port that within the Turkish domin-
ions its commissioners are able to ad-
minister relief effectively without in
terference from many government and
is moreover able to guarantee that every
dollar given for relief goes for relief
without the diversion of one cent for
any other purpose. The money remains
in the hands of reliable American ad-
ministrators from the time it leaves
New York until it is transformed into
food or clothes which missionaries and
other relief administrators personally
give to the destitute. There are more
than one hundred missionaries, physi-
clans, teachers, former consular agents
in various sections of the Turkish
Empire today remaining heroically at
their posts for the sole purpose of ad-
ministering relief and saving these peo-
pie from starvation. We have at times
sorely tried their faith in American
Christianity by leaving them empty
handed in the face of most appalling
need with people dying of starvation
before their eyes They willingly risk
their lives. A score of them have died
from contagious diseases contracted in
the service. Dare we withhold the funds
with which to make their ministry eff
feetive2
Identically the same machinery for
distribution which Ambassador Elkus
and Ambassador Morgenthau organized
with the same personnel of distributors,
is still operating effectively with the
full knowledge and approval of all gov
concerned.
American consuls teachers and other
eyewitnesses recently returned to Am
erica bear authoritative witness to the
fact that relief is being effectively ad-

United States. 1t is natural that the
apportionment to the individual cities
should seem "altogether too large -,
"wide Of the mark, " impossible.
In answer to this we can only say
that if absolutely every one of the 23,-
900 cities, towns and villages of the
United States were to pay their appor-
tionment in full the Committee would
have considerably less than ten cents
per day per capita with which to feed,
clothe, shelter and protect the homeless,
helpless refugees and other defenseless
non combatants who are dependent up
on the Committee.
So the question, els the apportion-
ment too large, resolves itself into
the question els ten cents per day
per capita too large an apportionment

Pile, many of them exiled from their
homes, in land where the price of
foodstuffs is much higher than in the

The National Committee can only
place upon the local committee in each
city, town and village the responsible
ity for answering this question in the
way that seems to them right.

100000 have joined Protestant denom-
inations, as result of the work of
American missionaries, and the re-
mainder were the adherents of the
Apostolic Christian Church of Armen-
ia. Today this Shurch has 100 bishops
and arehbishops, about 10000 eeclesias-
tics of lower rank and 1909 parishes.
Following her conversion to Chris

Armenia was the highway upon which

Of civilization-the MOslem Arab,

menians, isolated and separated from
the rest of civilization, represented the
West in the East and fought its first
battles. Finallp exhausted by the
swelling tide of the pagan and Moslem
forces, they retreated westerly and in
1850 set up the kingdom of Lesser Ar
menia, along the coast of the Mediter-
ranean Here they became the active
allies of the crusaders. But with the

Illustration shows how the tube may
be caught underneath bead of case.
This may occur from putting too much
air in tho tube before application or
from not using care to keep tube away
from rim until beads of case have been
properly engaged in clinches of rim.
This may also occur from using a tube
Of wrong size. For example, Az inch
tube in inch case If flap works
out of position when the tire is being
applied to rim, tube may be injured by
flap or beads of case. When tire is
ridden soft there is tendency for the
beads to lift up at the toes due to the
internal pressure and weight of ear and
sometimes permit tube to work under
bead. This is aggravated when the
tire has been constantly ridden soft
and beads havo been cut and broken
by rim.
Don't crowd tire of wrong size on
a rim simply because you are able to
do so, by physical force. It is not econ
omy-aside from the injury to the
beads, much annoyance can be expected
as the result of tubes being pinched.
Deterioration--Storage.
Deterioration, contrary to the gen.
eral impression, is not necessarily re-
suit of age but is largely influenced by
the conditions under which tires are
held in stock.
Tires should not be kept in warm
place for any great length of time, as
light and heat will cause the sulphur
to come to the surface and make the
rubber minutely porous. A dark, dry
room at n temperature of from 10 to
so degrees is most favorable for re-
tarding chemical action.
When the car is laid up for the
winter, or for other reasons is not used
for several weeks, the stale air should
be removed from the tires. Partially
initiate with fresh air-enough to round
up the tires and cover them with mus
lin. or other material to protect froSN
the light. The weight of the car should
be supported by blocks or packs, so that
there win not be any weight on the
tires.
