mems stomachs will be powerful, and
only blind men can fail to see the
menace of BOlshevism. Those who
look on Trotzky and Lenine as Jokes
are laughing in the face of disaster.
Bolshevism is the most appalling dan
ger that ever confronted civilization.
We have the remedy at hand. 1t is
our fault if we do not use it.
Repression will not do. 1t had a
most thorough trial in Russia, and we
see the result. Bolshevism was born
Of tyranny and oppression. Radical
Socialism has never appeared any
where except under autocracy. Give
men square deal under our own
flag, and they won't cheer the red
flag.
universal franchise and universal
service is the greatest combination
that ever has appeared on this earth,
and it first appeared after the French
Revolution. That is democracy"
The Rev. Mr.. Phillips traced the his
tory of the development of Russia
from the ninth century, showing that
the consistent policy of oppression re-
suited in the present condition. He
said he did not believe order would be
restored until some great personality
arose in that country.
1t was the first meeting Of the Town
club in its new quarters, on the eighth

ing implements into good condition.
1t doesn't require much shop equip
ment to make Yields and bend rods. A
forge, anvil, tongs, and hammer will
do it. With these tools as a start,
others can be made. Old machinery
ready for the junk heap can be res
cued and handy tools made from its
steel. Chisels of all shapes and sizes,
S-wrenches and the like, can be shaped
from the old steel and tempered to
suit the use to which they are to be
put. longs of any size and shape
may be made from the wrought iron
parts. Old files can be made into use
full tools.
Add to the equipment a press drill,
and many visits to the village black
smith will be forestalled. The best
thing about having shop is that the
more it is used, the more proficient the
operator will become. Results at first
may be disappointing, but the new
smithy can soon develop a proficiency
in handling the common repairs. And
there is always the opportunity open
at the University to learn shop prac-
tice. There's something rather salts
flying in the knowledge that materials,
tools and ability are ready to make
the repair, should machine break
down in the midst of busy season.

ports at Disposal Of Committee for
Distribution Of Supplies.

When Federal Food Administrator
Hoover reached the other side, and
saw at first hand the terrible condi-
lions that prevail, and realized the
sufferings of the peoples of the small
and helpless nations, he took immedi.
ate action that practically places the
United States Government behind the
Armenian and Syrian Relief Cam
paign, Feb. $40.
First there was a large cargo Of
flour on the Mediterranean destined
for one of the European Countries.
Hoover diverted this. He cabled the
National Armenian and Syrian Com
mittee, and urged that this he bought
to give immediate relief in the Near
East. 1t was locked at Port Said.
The committee responded by cable.
The $30,000,000 to be raised Feb $40
was anticipated. Wealthy men con-
nected with the Armenian and Syrian
Committee advanced the money, and
the cargo was bought, and the food
is now being issued under the com
bined direction of Food Administrator
Hoover and the Armenian Committee.
President Wilson, realizing the dis
tress, was not satisfied with the proc
lamation he had already issued urg-
ing the people to contribute to the
campaign, but he calls on Congress to
appropriate $1OO,0OO,OOO for the same
purposes that the Armenian and Sy-
rian Fund is being raised.
Secretary of War Baker and See
rotary of the Navy Daniels are also
aiding. Secretary of War Baker is
conveying workers to the Near East
on the Army transports at a nominal
cost, so that every cent contributed
will go 10 actually relieving the dis
tress of the stricken peoples.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels has
placed at the disposal of the commit
tee other transports that will convey
the cargoes of food and clothing with
out cost. Thus the more than $1,000
900 that would have been expended
for freight now is being used for &C.
tual relief
Thus the peoples in the lands made
sacred by the association of Jesus
and the Disciples, cities and lands
that appeal to the entire Christian
world, are now witnessing new mir
acles and the American people are
carrying out the work of the Master
and with their dollars and their gen.
erous hearts are repeating the mir
acle of the loaves and fishes in the
modern way.
Missourians are awakening to the
Importance of this great work, and
already it is apparent that the $780,
900 quota assigned to the Eastern
section of the state will be greatly
oversubscribed.

WILSON SEES NEED
FOR QUICK ACTION
President Asks Congress for Large
Sum to Aid in Saving Lives
in Near East.

Several weeks ago President Will
son approved the campaign for an
appeal to the people of this country
for funds to aid the starving in Asia
Minor.
Since he has been in Europe, where
the problem is even closer at hand
than here in America, he has seen fit
to urge upon Congress the immedi-
ate necessity of quick action in tho
appropriation of $100,0O0,O00 to aid
war torn world to relieve the immi-
nent suffering that is even now being
felt in Asia Minor, Europe and else
where as a direct result of four years
of war
The U. S. Food Administration has
ranged itself behind the appeal of the
American organization that Is seeking
to raise $S0,0o0.000 for the saving of
the lives of nearly 100000 people
in the Holy Land. the Caucasus and
Syria.
Food is the desperate need of these
people. They are in far worse sit
uation than Belgium ever found itself.
They are far more needy than the
suffering peoples in Europe where
an effort is being made by the various
governments to furnish food in order
to prevent starvation and to keep
anarchy down.
, In Asia Minor the sufferers are be.
yond anarchy or rioting. They are at
the door of death and untold thouS-
ands of them have already died.

Even Now Armenian and Syrian Relief

There has been some slight and aD-

funds for the purpose Of ending star
vation in the Near East. and curiously
enough 1t has come from among Ar

Jews and Assyrians. The criticism
also has been made that Armenians
are not being sent from this country
10 aid in the distribution of the relief.
As to the latter criticism officials
In charge Of the work in this country
point to the approval given the organi-
kations now in those countries By
American officials, ~ sufficient rea-
son for not planning to send workers
from America on the long voyage to do
work that can be done just as capabiy
by people now on the ground, already
trained and already organized. The
mission organizations have been in
vestigated and found to be in every
way fitted to the great task.
So far as is known the Kurds and
other non-Christian Turkish peoples
are in no need of relief. 1t is only the
non-Turks who have been harassed
and driven, slain and starved by ne
Turkish fanatics, backed by the Ger
man officers in Turkey, who have suf-
fered and are suffering.
The fund is being raised for these
peoples of Asia Minor and the eau
pasus who have suffered at the hands
of the Turk. There has been no COM
plant so far as has been heard in
America that the Turkish population
of the Ottoman Empire is in want.
The main consideration is that T..
100000 people are at the very point of
starvation, that emergency measures
are keeping them alive in some places
until the great relief fund can have
been raised and transmitted to the
authorized agencies to administer the
relief.
There is nothing of political nature
in the whole campaign. Nor is the
mission feature of the work being con-
sidered.
The only consideration is that mil
lions of people are threatened with
death and that relief must reach them
in great amounts and with all speed
the earth. Questions of policy can
afford to wait in the face of an awful
emergency such as unquestionably ex-
lists.

installed at very reasonable prices.

LARGE RETURNS FROM MINT
United States Supplies Bulk Of Pep-
permInt Oil for the
World.

The bulk OF the peppermint oil of
the world is produced on the muck
lands OF southwestern Michigan and a
few counties of northern Indiana. The
total yearly product is estimated ut
100000 pounds. There are two vari-
cites Of peppermint. the American ana
the English or Mitchcm. The latter
has almost superseded the American,
being better adapted to our soil and
climate. and favored by the trade. 1t
Is also harder and yields larger crops
The ideal mint farm is one having
both high land and muck soil. which is
distinct advantage on account of the
rotation and humus in the soil, de-
cayed vegetation being essential to the
peppermint crop. BY the use of prop
cr amounts and kinds of commercial
fertilizer, l;-rge crops of mint can be
grown for many years in succession
on the same ground. The mint plant.
after the oil Is removed. makes very
desirable feed for live stock, returning
about the same amount Of food value
as an acre OF ordinary meadow land,
besides the oil. Thus two profits are
harvested from one acre Of peppermint.
An acre of peppermint will yield
from 20 to 90 pounds Of oil. while a
second cutting will yield from six to
20 pounds extra. The farmer needs
no extra equipment to grow this crop
than found on the ordinary farm ex-
cept Il small still to refine the oil. In
Michigan and Indiana from 20 to 100
farmers cooperate in the operation OF
stills. handling from so to 100 acres of
peppermint In the one mill. 1t is now
a large industry.
