BROUGHT TOGETHER BY FATE
How Two Brothers in the British
Service, Long Parted, Met Each
other on Hospital Dock.

The part which fate played in the
reunion Of two long-separated broth
ers Is told from an embarkation
port In the south of England. Two
hospital ships were berthed at the
same time alongside the landing
stage. One was from France and the
other from the near East.
For the most part the cases removed
from one ship saw nothing of
those disembarked from the other, but
1t happened by chance that one of the
first Stretcfer cases from the near
East was laid down in the shed along
side one OF the last stretcher cases
from the French ship. But the two
men did not see each other, as their
heads were turned in opposite direc-
tons.
An orderly walking between the
stre;chers offered newspaper to one
of the men, and as he spoke both
turned their heads and saw and recog-
nizcd each other. They were broth
ers. Both had been serving since the
autumn Of 1914, and neither had the
remotest idea of what had become Of
the other.

100000 s1ARvE TO
DEATH IN TEHERAN
Persian Charge dAffaires to
United States Appeals for
Stricken Country.

People all over Persia are falling
dead as fast as autumn leaves from the
trees. Twelve thousand persons have
died in the past year in Teheran alone
from starvation and the diseases which
follow malnutrition. Unless help on
large scale Is prompt the entire cOun-
try will be threatened, is the substance
Mira Ali Kuli Khan, N. D., Persian
charge d'affaires to the United States.
In making this information public,
Doctor Khan stated: "The Persian
government has not officially asked for
help. This is not an official appeal
for help for my cOuntrymen. AS a hui
man being, however, my conscience
compels me to call to the attention Of
the generous American public the fact
that my countrymen are facing the
prospects of the winter with shudder.
At the time the letters were written
thousands of dead awaited burial at
Teheran."
DIR. Harry Pratt Judson, as repre-
sentative of the American committee
for relief in the near East, is render
ing great service with the 100000
a month which is sent him, but this
does not begin to meet the need.
Workers, food and medical supplies
must Immediately be sent to Persia on
a large scale if the cradle of the white
mans civilization is to be saved from
utter ruin.
In light of the fact that Persia has
rendered great service to the allied
cause by remaining neutral, and that
now famine and plague threaten to
wipe her out Of existence, Doctor
Khan was asked what part his coun-
try might take in the coming peace con-
ference, and he only said: '"That will
be settled later. Now, however, my
poor starving, plague-strlcken country
must be helped. AS consequence Of
the war, Persia's commerce has suf-
fered seriously. The government and
leading people have done their utmost
to relieve the situation, but without
further aid, food and medical supplies,
the winter will cut off large sections Of
the surviving population"

lege, who have announced plans for a
school of gardening to commence at
M. A. C. on Feb. 3. The school will
run for two weeks, and will be open
to any person who desires to enroll.
Highly specialized courses in gard
ening have always been part of the
study program offered by the depart
ment of horticulture of the college,
but the proposed "school of garden
ing" it is said, has been planned in
the hope that it will afford men and
women who like gardening, but who
lack the time for taking longer
course, chance to "brush up" in the
gardening business. Leaders of jun
ior clubs, and garden supervisors,
have also been invited to attend.
Individuals taking the courses in
gardening will be instructed in prin-
ciples of gardening, propagation Of
garden plants, garden crops, garden
insects, diseases of garden plants, can
ming and drying of fruits and vege-
tables, and in a certain recreational
work. Interested persons, according
to word from the college, can secure
more details about what is planned if
they will address an inquiry to the
Director of Short Courses, at M. A.

WHY
Prince Ethel Is Execrated in
France

Here is how Newell Dwight Hills,
In his book entitled German AtrOci-
ties" tells of the crime for which
Prince Eitel, son of the kaiser, now
stands under indictment IN France, the
sacking and ruin of beautiful cha
teau:
"One Of the historic chateaux is that
Of Avricourt, rich In noble associa-
lions of history. 1t was one of the
class of buildings covered by clause
In the international agreements be-
tween Germany, France and the Unit
ed States ant all the civilized nations.
safeguarding historic buildings. For
many months it was the home of
Prince Eitel. second son of the kaiser.
When a judge and jury held inquiry
at the ruins Of the chateau the aged
French servant, who understood the
electric lighting and had charge of the
gas plant during Eiters occupancy,
stated that he heard the German Off
GERS telling Eitel Frederick that he
would disgrace the German name IL he
destroyed a building that had no re-
lation to war, that could be of no aid
or comfort to the French army, and
that he would make his name and that
of his family name of shame and con-
tempt, of Obloquy and scorn. But the
man would not yield. He brought in
his auto trucks and carried to the
freight cars every historic object in the
splendid chateau. Having pledged
himself to leave the building unin-
jured, the prince stopped his car mt the
gates Of the exit, ran back to the his
toric house, lighted his firebrand,
spread the flames upon the halls, wait
ed until the flames were well in prog
ress. and then ordered his men to light
the fuse of dynamite bombs. A few days
later inquiry was held and testimony of
aged servants and little children was
taken. The degeneracy of the German
prince as then revealed has not been
eQua!ed since the first chapter of Ro-
mans catalOgued the unnatural crimes
OF the men OF the ancient world"

DAN CUPID LOSES CASE
Court Does Not Consider Call OF
Romance Strong Enough.

Dan Cupid lost his case before
Judge Andy Calhoun In the city court
at Atlanta, Ga.
Just as the Judge was about to pro-
nounce sentence on q young woman
who had been arraigned on a charge
of vagrancy, soldier stepped forth
from the audience and announced
that he wished to marry the accused
young woman. Mrs. Maybelle LAYER,
the defendant, smiled her assent, and
the court halted his sentence.
But Assistant Solicitor Ed Hill OBJ
jected. He remarked to the court
that nothing was known of the young
woman, and that she might be per-
mitted to commit bigamy; that she
might already have a husband.
Mrs. LAYER admitted that she had
been twice married, but insisted that
she is free now. She said she had
been married in Florida, but would
not give the name of the town in
which she had lived, nor any further
information.
Judge Calhoun did not consider the
call of romance strong enough, and
declined the request of the soldier.
He proceeded to sentence Mrs. LAYER
to spend six months in the county
home for girls.

Buys Acid Phosphate for Farmers

While local dealers were forced to
buy mixed goods II cars of straight
acid phosphate were obtained by the
William Co., (Ohio) Farm Bureau
for it's members. When it became APP
parent that farmers in many parts Of
the county were unable to get acid
phosphate from their local dealers,
the farm bureau investigated and
learned that the fertilizer could be
obtained in straight cars. A buying
committee was appointed and the
work was carried out so successfully
that the farm bureau has been re-
quested to order cars for use this COM
ing spring. The farmers saved $500
by buying through the farm bureau,
and 80 new members were obtained.

Unique Method Used to Remove Dan
qerous Portion.

High-powered rifles, operated by
crack marksmen, have been used to
remove portion of dangerous
smokestack, 1876 feet high, at the plant
of the Richards Brick company al
Edwardsville, Ill. The stack has been
a menace for some time, owing to its
damaged condition from being struck
by lightning.
1t was necessary to reduce the
height of the stack 20 feet and RECAP
it, but, owing to its dangerous condi'
ton, workmen could not be sent ia
the top. The problem was solved by
picking off the loose fragments by
bombarding them with rifles.
