&. Abourezk was q little the hap
piest mar in the county last Thurs
day on account of having heard from
ais wife and family who are at Elkafyr
Syria, and the last word be had re
ceived from them up until Thursday
was Christ mas eve 1916. On account
Of the war all communication has been
cut of with that part of the world
He has a second cousin Eli Abourezk
who was indicted into the Turkish
army in 1915, much against his will
and this cousin was serving with the
Turkish forces at Jerusalem, and last
spring he deserted, wandering around
for two weeks, and 6ually joined the
Arabian army which is fighting the
Turks, and of which army he is still a
member. Julia Abourezk, a daughter
Of Paul Abonrezk, who is also in that
country finally succeeded in snug.
Cling a letter to her cousin in the
Arabian ranks, and he in turn for
warded the letter here to c. Abourezk.
The letter stated that all Of their PEG
pie were still alive and we'll, but that
they were enduring many hardships.
The monarchal laws and edicts were
almost unendurable and many people
we're starving. The price of all foods
were exceptionally high. Forinstance
a bushel of wheat is worth about S22
American money, according to this
letter. Mike Abourezk, who is well
known in Wood, and who went to
Syria just before the breaking out Of
the great war in 1914, and Who has
been unable to return to this country
since, is reported to be still alive and
we'll. The receipt of this letter gave
both Charles and Paul Abourezk
much joy, happiness and satisfaction,
as neither of them had heard directly
from their folks in Syria for nearly
two years.

Did you know that good old South
Dakota leads all the Union in PEI
centage of crop production for 1918?
OF course, we know III own happy
condition and are pleased to see that
is the report by the US. Department
of Agriculture experts for August as
sent to the State immigration Depart.
ment.
South Dakota is credited with 1873
per cent, while the next state is only
1871 lercent and third 1851 per cent
with just a few states up to 100 percent.
Thanks to the fortunate conditions of
the mid-temporate zone which grows
the great staple human foods in the
stress Of world, our state goes lover
the top with a greater proportionate
lift than any other.
PerphapS this Is a direct reward gof
a kind Providence for South Dakota's
effort when it was given the largest
per capita apportionment Of the third
Liberty Loan of any state, and was
first with the money in the bank and
a big over subscription. 1t is an en-
viable record and one more official con
firmaton Of our leadership.
