RED CROSS GIRL
SAVES MONEY
FROM BANDITS

ALEXANDROPOL, Armenia, Sept,
p, via Paris, Oct. S.--Miss
Ruth Stuart. formerly of the Chill
drens' Hospital, Boston, and the
Slooa.e Hospital, New York, but
now a member of the American Red
Cross, has arrived here from Tiflis,
after travelling three days and
nights in a box car, with a bag con-
tanning 100000 rubles for the use
Of the American Hospital and
Orphanage in this city.
In the TranscaucJsus, which is
without police, money Is usually
brought from Tiflis by a corporals
guard, but as funds were urgently
required and no guards were avail
able, the bank decided to entrust the
money to the goo sense of the
American nurse. She left without
soldier convoy and unarmed.
AS the train left Tiflis the nurse
was handed a sack containing 9
bushel of tri-republic notes Col
Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
AS soon as the train was enroutt
Miss Stuart emptied her personal eff
fects from her suitcase and repack
ed it with the money. She placed
the suitcase under the blanket or
her bed, and sat upon 1t, beginning
her watch of seventy-two hours.
At Meganlo, three men entered
her car. They made signs that they
were customs inspectors and mus
search for contraband. Miss Stuart
knew that the cars Of foreign mis-
sions are not subject to search by
the Georgian Government, but she
said nothing and did not leave hei
seat. The alleged inspectors
searched thoroughly, seemed puz-
zled. and left.

men, in the uniforms OF Cossacks,
galloped out of a wood, firing at the
train. Forty shots were exchanged
between riders and passengers, none
taking effect, The riders attempted
to overthkc the locomotive, which
was slowly making grade, but
were stopped by deep gully. Dur
ing the encounter Miss Stuart did
not look out OF the car She sat on
the million rubles.

Probably no publication In the
Western world has anything ap-
preaching the volume of circulation
enjoyed by certain Chinese alman-
ac, printed in Pekin. Each edition
of the almanac consists OF more
than eight million copies, which are
sent into the provinces, and 80 great
is the interest taken by the Chinese
in the publication. SO high the con-
fidence reposed in the information
contained, that not single copy is
returned to the printers.

FRANCES GREAT RECORD.

France lost nearly 100000 workers
and ne-ffth of its productive capital
during the war, but with her reduced
man power she has reclaimed 1.000, 900
acres of farming land, rebuilt 10000
houses, repaired 2,O16 kilometers of
railways and 700 kilometers of its Grip
pied canals and repaired $50 industrial
plants. She has also raised her taxa
tion from $1,000,0 $1,000 to $4,000 ,o0O,-
900 year. French manufacturers have
turned from coal to the water power of
the Alps and the Pyrenees for motive
power and the industries are organizing
in groups and increasing production by
Standardization. 1t is doubtful if any
other nation can show such record of
reconstruction.
1t should be noted this wonderful
accomplishment is not the work of or
ganized labor striking for more pay
and shorter hours; but by all labor and
capital cooperating to increase produc
ton. Labor is periodically doing its
part in rehabilitating the country and
is setting an example that other nation.

AN EXCEPTIONAL GIRL

very interesting item about Miss
Elizabeth Farley, daughter of Prof.
George l.. Farley of Amherst, Mass, ap-
peared in the Sunday Springfield Re
publican which tells how this young
lady is producing milk, raising pigs and
hens on a village lot on which her faith
er has built residence. The lot is IS
by 200 feet giving room for the house
and good sized garden. The girl :
first interest in outdoor work was in
the war garden started by her father
in 1918. She did so well at this her
father decided to let her have soma
hens and she soon wanted a cow As
there was no barn on the lot she hired
a barn on neighboring lot in which II
house the cow her father bought her Il
year ago this month. There was such
demand for milk, she used pure bred
Jerseys only, that in January her faith,
er bought her a second cow. Last month
she bought third cow with money she
had made off the other two cows.
The girl took the entire care of the
two cows the past summer, raised one
heifer calf, fed five pigs and cared foi
about twenty five hens and twenty five
pullets. She had some bad luck, as the
second COW was poisoned and her mill
production reduced about half; bu'
the girl delivers twenty four quarts o.
| milk each day at twelve cents a quart
daily income of 1928 and is maxim:
profit of $40 month.
This is very unusual but it is tn
unusual things that attract attention
and often are the foundation of one
success. The experience of Miss Far
ley shows what useful employment o
one s children can do. There are man,
boys in all the villages that would b
much better off if given similar out
side work to do and at the same tim
develop their ability to perform use

Eat
More Bread

Since 1913, the price of wheat has
advanced 1877 per cent. At the same
time flour has advanced 1877 per cent
and bread IS per cent. An analysis
of the principal foodstuffs will show
the same relative advance percentage
of the finished products, semi finished
products as compared with the raw ma
terial As the high state of finished
products is approached, the percent
age of advance decreases as compared
with the material.
That cheap bread does not bring
about other cheap foods is shown by
the cheap bread in Europe which has
been made possible for three or four
years by the government substituting
bakers and millers. Bread in those
countries has always been on a pre-waI
basis and has not affected the high
price of other commodities.
Now as we see it, if the people could
get as much out of the dollar spent fol
other necessities as they get out of the
dollar spent for flour, there would be ne
complaint of the High Cost of Living
Prices for flour and bread have not
kept pace with the advancing market
The best and cheapest food obtainabl,
today is BREAD.

Major General Thomas III. Barry, who
today reaches the age limit for active
service, is one of the best known offic-
ers of the United States army. A ma
tive of New York city, born of humble
parentage, he won an appointment to
West Point in 1873 by brilliant sehol-
arship displayed in his public school
career. In the years immediately fol-
lowing his graduation from the mill
tary academy he saw much hard fight
ing in the Indian campaigns in the
West. In the Spanish war he was an
adjutant general, and after the close
of that war he saw hard service in the
Philippines. In 1907 President Roose-
welt appointed him commander in chief
of the Army of Cuban Pacifcation,
and in that capacity he did his work
so thoroughly that when he left Cuba
he was given an ovation such as few
officers have ever received at home OF
abroad. When the United States en-.
tered the world war General Barry was
given charge of Camp Grant and since
the first of this year he has been in
command of the Department of the
East.

The Christmas Tree.
bennington Banner. J

Some OF the state papers have begun
publishing their annual protest against
The cutting of young spruces for Christ
mas trees. With the increasing demand
upon the woodland of the state for tim
Der and pulp wood, it is not at all strange
that many people are inclined to protest
against the destruction wrought by the
Christmas tree cutters. At the same
time it is to be doubted if the evergreen
that is shipped each year to the cities
create such loss to the timber resources
OF Vermont as many people are inclined
to imagine. The trees that are taken
Tor the purpose are largely "bull'
spruees. Many of them are taken from
back pastures in which they have become
an actual detriment because of the room
they take up and because they keep back
the growth of grass by shutting out the
rays of the sun. The limbs grow close
TO the ground and the trunks of the
trees develop limbs instead of trunk and
while many of them may attain the dis
tinction of pulp wood they will never
| become good timber, at least not during
| the lives of the present owners of the
land on which they grow. There is nc
denying that some farmers have permit
ted cutting that has been detrimental
| to the future timber interests of the
state as whole. The tops of Young
spruces that would eventually have
| found their way to the sawmills have
been taken and the trees destroyed. II

manner of growth, that makes the best

scrubs can well be spared.

Blasting Rocks in the FAN

When cutting corn Is late
From wet or drought or smut,
There 5 time for little jobs
Outside the usual rut;
And so you take cut
Acrost to Melvin Shedd's,
And hire him hard and fast
To come and help you blast
Some medder niggerheads.
Old easy going Nell
Is glad TO have you call;
He's jack of twenty trades
But still his house is small,
And early in the fall,
Before il s time to hunt,
If he can have his meals,
And work the way he feels,
He'll do a friendly stunt.
And so next day he comes
Prepared to 'smite the rocks, F."
And brings his fuse and drills,
And blasting powder box,
With two peculiar locks;
And iron spoon and wedge,
And grooved-out tamping tool,
And leather cushion cool,
And hickory handled sledge.
You pick the bluest "head.'
And Nell, he holds the drill.
And tells you how to strike
And keep his friendship still;
You whack with mighty win,
Until you d give a dime
To try his leather seat,
And two to know what meat
There II be at dinner time.
When Mr.. Spoon won't reach
You guess it's time to. load,
And Nell unlocks the box
Wherein the stuff is slowed,
And, while he eyes the road,
1t trickles through his hand,
And then he lays the fuse,
And lamps a Mortified News
Right in with dirt and sand.
As Nell digs up match
'Tis sure the hour of Fate;
1t S flicker sends you both
Behind the pasture gate;
But shueksl the blast you wait
Is jest q slimsy fz,
The wad blows out entire
And sets the grass afre--
That's all the '.blast' there is.
A week you work away,
And when the job is through,
You find you We cracked one rock
And slightly iossled two,
And killed blooded ewe
And reused nest of skunks,
And powder faced your skin,
And drove knee cap in,
And squandered forty plunks.

Teetehers.
By LEE PAPE

No skool is compleet without a teet-
cher, and no fletcher is eompleet with
out a skool, altho both of them would
be more popular without either.
Teetehers are all ages, but they are
getting younger all the time. Most of
them are female gender by berth. Wen
fletcher gets married she stops
teetching. This would make the pupils
mulch gladder if another fletcher did
ent come to take her place rite away.
1t would be impossible to have a edu-
cation without teetehers. but most chill
dern would jest as soon not have a
education if envbody asked them their
opinion, witch nobody does. Wen chill.
dern grow up they send their own chill
dern TO skool for revendge, and thus
education will never die out.
The name diffrents between teetch.
ers and ~ppils is that teetehers ear
wawk out wenever they wunt to and
never come back, ony they don't. wils
pupils have to keep on setting Their,
and come back the next day, witch they
do.
Some teetchers are popular even the
they are teetchers, witch proves how
mulch more popular they would he !,
they wasent. Most teetchers know
more than their pupils. thus making
1t very convenient for them.
Some things teetchers are Supposed
TO know are theology, joggriffy. his
terry, arithmetic. seolding, singing ane
keeping in after skool.
Some pupils give their teetchers pres
ehts, snteh as froot and orindges. hon

Value of Rest.

Your physician will tell you that
whenever possible you should lie down
for little rest each day. To do so will
take some of the load off that faithful
heart of yours which keeps pumping
away without cessation day and night
Your physician will explain that when
sitting down, as compared with stand
ing, you save your heart nine beats a
minute and that when you lie down you
take off an additional six beats. So
merely lying down means less pumping
to be done and less wear and tear on
the body's most vital rorgan.-Thrift
