Why | Am Going To Turkey

like little animals on garbage, refuse.
thrown away rotten oranges, and
whatever they could steal from the
grocery shops. They also were put in
school where they are now being
taken care of and restored to right
full conditions of human beings. To
save more of the four hundred thou
sand other Elenis, Bedros' and Hagops
is another reason why I am going to
Turkey.
One day Mamriam from Hagoosh
was brought to my house. For full
year she had been in the hands Of the
Kurds wandering with them from
place to place. One Of them had ia
Ken her as his wife. A little baby
had been born and it had died on
the road Once she had tried to es-
cape and the man who called himself
her husband had shot her, breaking
her arm Since she had no proper
medical attention for this she will
never be able to reise her arm to her
head to comb her hair and can never
do ordinary house work again. Her
mind was so unbalanced that only
after weeks of treatment in the en-
vironment of our pleasant home did
she come into anything like normal
condition.
A German missionary lady told me
of trip she had made with German
officers to the Malatia region from In
the interior. She said Marsovan
graduates and teachers came to see
her there who were in Moslem har-
ems, beautiful, refined girls, who
spoke English perfectly. She said
they cried and bemoned their fate.
When asked what could be done for
them she said, Absolutely nothing"
What hope for them?" I said, and
she answered Absolutely none" But
1t Is to help rescue the thousands of
such girls scattered in Moslem har.
ems from one end of Turkey to the
other that Is one of the reasons why
am going back to Turkey.
These children, women and girls
must not only be rescued, they must
also be helped to begin life over again.
We shall have to start trades which
will furnish means of support Not
only this but we must help them to
forget. Almost all those whom was
able to rescue were more or less af-
fected mentally. 1t was not to be as
they are loved and cared for and
placed under cheerful conditions can
they be brought back to normal con-
dition. Think of being shown water
when dying from thirst and then re-
fused drink. Such were some of
the extremes Of cruelty to which they
were subjected. They need love and
sympathy to restore their faith in hu.
mainly. Our expedition goes to help
do this, and this is another reason why
I am going to Turkey.

BURLESON'S SERVICE

Philadelphia is only two-hours run
by train from New York, and there is
train every hour, but it took the
Burlesonized postal service from a
Thursday afternoon to Saturday af-
ternoon to transport an important
package of medicine that distance,
and deliver it.. To expediate matters,
the telegraph, the telephone and spe-
cial delivery services were called into
action, but the medicine reached its
destination an hour after the patient
had died. What would you have to
say if the patient had been a member
of your family?

MIX FERTILIZERS AND
FOOL MANUFACTURERS,
FARMERS ARE ADVISED

M. A. c. Experiment Station Tells
Agriculturists They Can Save $40
a Ton by Making Up Fertiliz-
ers at Home
East Lansing, March 5.-A method
by which the expense of keeping up
the fertility of the soil can be mater
tally lessened is being indicated to the
farmers of Michigan by the depart
ment of soils at M. A. C. The de-
partment declares that if agricultur-
lists will mix their fertilizers them
selves, it is possible, at least under
present conditions, to save from $40
to $12 ton.
"Spring prices of fertilizers are
quoted somewhat higher than they
were during the war;" declared DR..
M. M. McCool, "but if the farmer is
DESTROYS of using a 2-12-0 fertilizer
ne can save about $40 a ton by OBJ
tanning nitrate of soda and 16 per
cent acid phosphate and home-mix-
ing them. The desired mixture can
be made by using 312 pounds of So
dunn nitrate, 1900 pounds of 16 per
cent? acid phosphate.
"If q complete fertilizer, such as a
2-12-2 is desired, about $12 ton can
be saved by home-mixing 312 pounds
of sodium nitrate, 1900 pounds of 16
per cent acid phosphate and 225
pounds of 18 per cent potash.
Before mixing, each of the ingre-
dents should be finely pulverized.
This may be accomplished by placing
them on barn floor and using tam
per of some sort. If so pulverized
the materials can be mixed more thor
oughly and distributed more easily
when applied to the soil. If the mix
ture is moist it can be dried by adding
small quantities of dry earth, muck
or sawdust. The fertilizer should be
applied to the soil soon after mixing,
for they depreciate somewhat if al
lowed to stand"

SAME OLD STUFF

Remembering the language in which
President Wilson induced his Demo-
cratic Congress to reverse itself on
the subject of Panama Canal tolls,
against the interests of the United
States, it will not be surprising If he
tells the country that the proposed
constitution of the League of Nations
must be endorsed ain ungrudging
measure" or he will not know how to
deal with other vital international
problems.

CLOVER CROP is HURT
BY WINTERS MILDNESS

East Lansing, March 5. The
clover crop in many sections of the
state has become heavily damaged as
a result of the unusual weather condi-
tions that have prevailed within the
last year, the Michigan Agricultural
college has been informed by its field
agents. Much injury was done by the
draught of last summer, but more has
been caused by the mildness of the
present winter, it is said. Because of
the unusual openess of the season, the
reports declare that much "heaving"
has occurred.
AS substitute one-season hay-crops,
the farm crops department of the COLI
lege is recommending corn, millet,
peas and oats, sorghum, sudan grass,
soy beans, or oat hay. If it is desir-
ed, information can be obtained from
county agricultural agents, or by
writing to the department of Farm
Crops, M. A. c., East Lansing.

Heavy losses to sheep from raids by

informed by reports from several
counties. One of the most severe
losses of these told of recently was the
claughtering of 100 head of sheep in
Newago county by dogs that got in
among a flock owned by the Fremont
Canning company.
Another report, from Schoolcraft
township in Kalamazoo county, de-
clares that losses caused to farmers
whose sheep were attacked by dogs,
totaled more than $500 last year.
These latest developments are said
to be immensely strengthening the
appeal OF. farmers for law that will
afford flocks greater protection. A
bill materially increasing the dog tax,
and extending the power of officers
has already been introduced into the
legislature and is receiving the united
support of the so farmer members of
the house and senate. Farmers are
being asked to write to Charles Evans
chairman of the house committee on
agriculture, at Lansing, urging that
the bill be enacted into law.

Congressman Simeon d. Fess added
greatly to his already high standing in
the councils of the Republican party
when he refused to permit his name
to be mentioned further in the race
for the Speakership of the House of
Representatives The motives which
prompted his withdrawal were of the
highest and had they actuated the
other leaders Of the Republican party
during the last decade the divisions
in the party strength that put the
Democrats in the saddle during the
most momentous period of our history
never would have occurred.

pendent on continued harmony which
now characterizes the party, l have
withdrawn from the speakership con-
test. My action is based wholly
upon my sense of duty to the party
which is paramount to every other
consideration"
Representative Fess's action is a
most potent contribution to Republi-
can success in quickly organizing the
next House and in putting through the
important pieces of legislation to
which that party will devote itself.
