WORLD MINERAL RESOURCES

In geology there is no political
boundary Geologic formations extend
beneath frontiers and fortresses, and
ores and other useful minerals are
deposited in like manner from contin-
ent to continent Accordingly, in an
ticipation that the United States Geo
logical Survey Department of the
Interior) would be called upon for in
formation regarding the mineral de-
posits and production of countries
other than our own, several of the
Geological Survey specialists in the
study of the different kinds of miner
al deposits began last year, as pre-
paredness measure, the compilation
of such data. The results of this work
more than fulfilled the expectations,
and the demands for the informa-
ton became so numerous and urgent
as to require that the work be placed
in the hands of a carefully chosen
committee, each member of which is
a specialist in his subject. Under the
direction of this committee the COM
pilation went forward in compre-
hensive and thorough manner. In
furnishing such information to the
various war organizations the Geolo-
gical Survey only more fully perform
ed it's work as the American bureau
of information regarding the geology
and mineral resources of the world.

GREATEST HONOR IN
HISTORY OF HUMANITY

The massacre and deportation of
the Christian Armenians is character
lied by Henry Morganthau, former
United States Ambassador to Turk
ey, as "the greatest single horror ever
perpetrated in the history of human
ity." The former Ambassador to the
Ottoman Empire, in his report to the
State Department at Washington, al
so stated emphatically that the de-
portation of Armenians was carried
out on orders issued by the Turkish
government.
1.-The Turkish authorities had stop
ned all communication between the
provinces and the capital in the naive
belief that they could consummate
this crime of the ages before the out
side world was aware of it," declared
Mr.. Morganthau, 'But the informa-
ton filtered through. 1t came from
consuls. from missionaries, from for
eign travellers, and even from Turks
We soon learned that orders had been
issued to the governors of the pro
vinces to send into exile the entire
Armenian population, and the local
officers, with few exceptions, car
ried out these instructions. All the
able-bodied men had either been draf-
ed into the army or disarmed. The
remaining people, old men, women
and children, were subjected to the
most cruel and outrageous treat
ment."
"Few nations have suffered as
much" says Morganthau. Carefully
prepared estimates based on reports
that have come to the Committee
from every part of the Near East
show that there are 100000 desti-
tute refugees, large proportion of
them in exile. The capitulation of
Turkey has made accessible to the
Committee this great mass of suffer
ing humanity. Thousands of women
and children are dying every day of
actual starvation. One of the great
est difficulties Relief Workers have
experienced is getting enough work
men, who are themselves sufficiently
fed, to bury those who die of starva-
ton.
The American Committee for Ar
menian and Syrian Relief will con-
duct, from January 18th to 18th a
nationwide campaign to raise $50,
100000 for the relief and rehabilita-
ton of the starving and destitute
people.

TEN WAYS TO HELP
THE COUNTRY CHURCH

Here are ten ways to help the
country church of your community
You can help by seeing to it
/. That the church has a whole
time pastor at salary you are not
ashamed of;
2. That twelve-months-in-the-
year Sunday school is maintained;
3. That parsonage is provided
and furnished;
A. That there is a teachers train
ing class in the Sunday School;
5. That the church lives up to its
highest possibilities in the matter
of church music;
6. That the church building is
painted;
7. That the church grounds are
made beautiful with trees, shrubs
flowers and walks;
8. That the church is properly
heated and lighted;
8. That there is a rest room for
women and children;
TO- That hitching places are pro
vided for horses so that they will not
gnaw shade trees.
Any earnest citizen can help ac-
complish these things in his neigh
boring church and Sunday school and
should count it privilege to be able
to do so.-Progressive Farmer.

BUYS LIME CRUSHER
FOR FARMERS USE

When the fiscal court of Allen
County, KY, went with the county
agent to see field demonstration
where limestone had made red clover
grow adundantly where before clover
had been failure, the favor of the
court was gained to the extent that
when the court met in regular session
an appropriation was voted for the
purchase of limestone crusher. The
crusher cost $4,000. 1t is a portable
outfit, and for eight months of the
year the county agent, by order of
the fiscal court, has control of the
machine. 1t is taken around from
community to community to crush
the natural limestone rock for agri-
cultural purposes. This work is done
at cost for the farmers. In the other
four months of the year the crusher
is used by the county on road work.
