in Fredcricktown, Va, he delivered an
address attacking Teutomc culture,
enlightenment and humanitarian
traits, which, while entirely timely,
appropriate and truly American, was
accepted then with bad grace by the
many Missouri Republicans of Ger
man birth and extraction, who even
today do not believe that Germany
was wrong, and these utterances have
not been forgotten.
The definite announcement in st.
Louis of Senator Spencer three days
ago that he would be a candidate to
succeed himself has made the prohi-
bition element of the Republican par
ty out in the State, more determined
than ever to again nominate him, re-
CARELESS of whether or not he adds
strength to the 1920 G. o. p. State tick
ct. On the other hand, with Liv Morse
and other Republican leaders of west
ern Missouri joining forces with the
portion of the Republican party of st.
Louis and elsewhere in the eastern
half of the State which is solidly
against rcnominating Senator Spen-
Ger, the coming primary fight for con-
troll threatens to disrupt the Repub-
lican party to such an extent that the
hostile factions will carry their diff
ference into the polling places on cleo
ton day of next November and settle
the disputed points there.
1t is announced from Western Mis-
souri, that if Attorney MINIS cannot
be persuaded to enter the contest
against Senator Spencer some other
strong G. o. p. candidate will be dis
covered somewhere in rural Missouri
and run. There is talk of drafting
Judge Henry Lamm Of Sedalia to get
into the Republican senatorial derby,
regardless of his age and his state
ment that he aspires for no further
political honors from his party if it
becomes necessary to find a compro-
mise candidate to bring all elements

railroad ballast sand and gravel Co.,
096 tons, aggregate value, $2S, 095; and
miscellaneous sands, 329,267 tons, ag-
gregate value, $209,459. The output
of Missouri gravel, 1917, totaled $685.
039 tons, the same having an aggre-
gate worth of $183,860.
During both 1913 and 1917 build
ing sands used in Missouri were
chiefly obtained from the Mississippi
river in front of st. Louis, Cape Gil
rardeau and Hannibal, and the Missou-
ri river in front of Kansas City, st.
Joseph, Boonville, st. Charles and
Jefferson City. The sand used in the
manufacture of glass came chiefly
from jefferson and Franklin counties.
Missouri generally draws on the gray
ell pits Of Jefferson, St. Louis, Frank
lin, st. Charles, Jackson and Buchanan
counties for its needed annual supply
of gravel. Many other counties sup
ply enough gravel and sand for home
consumption.

1919 YULETIDE GIVES TO
PEOPLE GLORIOUS CHANCE

Mssourians, who have ever respond
ed when patriotism demanded, and
who have hardened and have given
freely when their gifts were actually
needed and would bring relief to the
stricken, will have an opportunity dur
ing the approaching Yuletide season
to participate in another outpouring
that should appeal to every Christian
within the borders of the State.
Something less than a year ago
charitable Missourians loosed their
purse strings and contributed their
share to the S30,000,000 fund that was
raised throughout the United States
that the slaughter and he starvation
of Christians in the lands ruled by the
Turkish Sultan should cease.
No State responded more heartily
or more spontaneously than Missouri.
Missouri dollars went to New York,
where the officials of Near East Re-
lief, then called the American Com
mittee for Armenian and Syrian Re-
lief, assembled the resources of the
nation and dispatched ship load after

people might be saved. Not only this,
but hospitals were established and
thousands of Armenians who had
been driven from their homes by the
barbaric Turks were re-established
and were placed on a self-supporting
basis.
When that campaign was conducted
last February it was thought the work
of mercy would have been completed
The war had been fought and won
thanks to Americans. The power Of
the German Emperor and the Turkish
Sultan had been broken. All that re.
manned was to bring about the univers-
al peace, and it was everywhere ex-
pected that America would accept the
mandate that would give this countr,
the power to see that the atrocities Of
the past, committed by Turks Of he
Mohammedan faith could never be re.
peated and that peaceful people
could re-establish themselves and hole
up their heads among the nations 0,
the world.

PROTECTING ORCHARD TREES
FROM RABBITS AND MICE

Each winter considerable damage is
done to young fruit trees by rabbits
and field mice. They gnaw the bark
near the surface of the ground and in
extreme cases the trees are entirely
girdled. Often such injured trees may
be saved if suitable measures are TAX
en- promptly; but much better plan
is to protect the trees from injury IN
the first place. This can be done by
placing around each one tree pro-
tector, made Of closely woven galvan-
lied iron wire or of thin wood We
neer. The wire protectors are more
satisfactory in some ways; but the We
neer protectors are cheaper and are
much more generally used, says "
r. Gardner of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. They
can be obtained from almost any firm
dealing in berry boxes or baskets or
general horticultural supplies. They
cost from 81 to SIPS a hundred and
last for several years. A few trees in
the home orchard con be protected
from rabbits and mice by wrapping
their trunks with heavy paper and
tying it in place. This, however, is
too slow and expensive to be practic-
able in large commercial plantations.

HOW ARMENIA is HELD BACK

While the Peace Conference is
quibbing over the partition Of Asia
tic Turkey, secret treaties entered in
to between Great Britain, France and
Russia before the collapse of that ma
ton, are coming to light and are re-
tarding the giving of justice to the
Armenians that appeared to be almost
in the grasp of the Christian peoples
who had been harassed by the Turks
for ages.
A London correspondent Of the
Christian Science Monitor in recent
number tells of the wheels within
wheels that the revolving to prevent
the Armenians from taking their
places among the nations that their
qualifications merit.
As long as 1916, says the Monitors
correspondent, it was agreed in secret
treaties that Russia should have a
large strip of land in Turkey mostly
occupied by the Armenians and France
should have another large strip on the
Mediterranean coast. With the re-
volution in Russia, removing that
country from further consideration,
that territory still claimed by France
is still a bone of contention and the
| French claims are becoming louder
each day.
Then the powers are seeking to fas-
ten the Turkish debts on the people
who are seeking to establish them
selves as national entities. The
whole world knows how the Turks,
even before the outbreak Of the world
war, despoiled the thrifty Armenians.
Then when the war came on, how they
even surpassed the previous efforts,
and more than a million Armenians
were slaughtered under the merest
pretcxt. Women and children were
Icarried off and made slaves.
The very land owned by the Armen-
ians were taken by the Turks when the
owners were banished and all of their
property and money was confiscated

President Wilson, while making the

an address at Kansas City, in this
State, called attention to the suffer-
