BITTER CRY OF THE CHILDREN
By DR.. Frank Crane

Horrible unspeakable and utterly degrad-
ing as war u.s. you cannot realize it's terrific
depths of infamy until you see what it does
to the Children.
Nothing ever read--of the agonies of the
war, or starving prisoners mutilated captives,
bombarded villages, fields strewn and rivers
choked with dead Understanding touched
me with so peculiar and quick repulsion as
the account of those little children shipped
back by the Germans from the enemy terri
tory they had occupied, into Switzerland
arriving there with their gaunt faces, starry
ing eyes and swollen bellies, their bodies
starved and diseased, their minds blank with
terror.
And those other children, clnging to their
mothers skirts, as the miserable procession
of refugees fed from some sacked town in
Poland or North France ,.ts,.t
IL an oath and a clenched fist were ever
pafdonabIe IN man surely it is when such
news comes. =
And children are starving in Hungary to-
day; not thousands but hundreds of thou
sands of them
The Countess Szechenyi formerly Misc
Gladys Vanderbilt of New York who returned
recently to America after having been for
louf years lmmured in Hungary Describes
the plt1ful privations of the little ones there
!

every person in the city sits down to break
Iasts OF tea CASUALLY made with blackberry
leaves and in most cases without sugar or
mix and piece of dry, sour, black bread.
For dinner they may have beans or DotatOes
and Tor supper black war coffee and bread
When children have had this food for ahout
three years you can imagine the condition
they are in. Would you like to try it on your
children for one day?''
| &c
A fund is being created here to help these
| children. 1t is hard to conceive a nobIer
! charity.
Mr.. Hoover speaking Of this says, II know
that the American people would have no re-
sentiment at any effort undertaken to give
support in saving the lives of children during
! this Winter. The destruction of war has
| borne hardly the children of former enc
mics as we'll as friends and the American
! people have not been fighting children. The
European Children's Fund has large reserve
stocks Of food at Trieste, but as We have no
resources other than those provided by the
/ Hungarian committee, we, of course, cannot
draw on these reserves beyond the funds
placed at our dispOsal.''
There is the situation. Untold human suf-
/ fering in Hungary. little children dying OF
sheed starvation. Mothers waiting hours
/ every day in line to secure pittance of bread,
coal and milk. The whimper of vast multi
tude of babies cold and hunger.
And not far off, at Trieste ample supplies.

Maj. Quimby Melton
Visiting in Americas

Wearing a majors uniform and his
contagious smile, Quimby Melton, one
time editor and manager of The

turned from France, reached Americas
this morning, and was given warm
welcome home by hundreds of friends.

Casualties during the hot fighting
in the Argonne, where he won promo
ton from captain of the 325th Infan-
try, SIND division by personal bravery
in action.
He gained a fund of valuable know
ledge, though, he said, and no part of
his experienced pleased him more
than the reception accorded him and
the men of his battalion on the occas-
ion of their return home. The demon
STATIONS which greeted the returning
troops sank deep into the hearts of
every man, he said, and impressed all
of them with the loyalty and love of
the folks back home" He talked
little about his experiences in battle,
however, indicating it would be as
well that this phase of the great con-
flict be forgotten.
Major Melton will spend several
days visiting Americas friends before
going to Birmingham Ala, where he
as business interests and afterward
will probably assume position on the
staff of The Atlanta Constitution. It's
good to be back in old Americas again,
he said this morning, and I'm gonig
to enjoy my visit here to the fullest.

SWAT WEEVILS
NOW, IS ADVICE
OF FARM AGENT

Now is the time to nip the boil Wee
vii in the bud, according to Farm
Demonstration George o. Marshall.
Mr. Marshall doesn't mean that to be
a joke, either, the scourge of the cot
ton states may now be located in the
buds of the cotton plants, in limited
numbers, and nipped effectively.
Every female weevil lays from 100
to 200 eggs said Mr. Marshall to-
day, and they are easily found in
the young cotton plants now. 1t would
pay every farmer to go over his cot
ton fields carefully, if he can possibly
do it, and pick off the weevils and kill
them. They will save the early
squares, and that is where the bulk of
the cotton is made"
Mr.. Marshall gave out this piece of
advice to the farmers:
Look for weevils near dwellings
and barns, near places growing cotton
last year. They may be found in the
buds of cotton this time of the year.
Every weevil destroyed now means the
saving of many early squares and the
early squares are the squares to
count on. They are more easily found
in the early morning and late after
noon when the sun is not so hot. One
weevil lays from one hundred to two
hundred eggs, and every female de-
stroyed now means the saving of that
many squares.
Cultivate rapidly and shallow and
keep the cotton growing"

The alfalfa cutting now in progress
and the coming harvest of corn and
other crops has opened many perma-
nent farm jobs in the state, according
to the employment bureau directors.
There are several offers of $50 a

single men. Skilled mechanics-tool
makers. boilermakers. riggers, and
others-are also very scarce and
greatly in demand. Several can be
used at the Wichita office at once, ii
was declared.
The prospects of saving the entire
wheat crop are now excellent, 1t is
believed. The per cent of loss has
been very small, the only indications
being from isolated spots where the
wheat was ruined by grasshoppers or
felled by wind Meade county suf-
fered most. with a Is per cent loss
Clark county also lost some grain, the
loss in other scattered sections being
lighter. Altogether, the average is ex-
