print paper was selling for about
! cents per pound, wheat, choice
ST.; corn 50 cents flour s.. so and

TENNESSEE SHOWS BIG IN
CREASE IN DAIRY PRODUCTS

The total value Of dairy products
produced In Tennessee in 1919 amount
ed to Sj.Oa5,65T.
The total value of dairy cattle pro
duced and sold amounted 10 5000. 900.
This makes the total production of
the dairy industry in products and
breeding stock for the year 1919,
81 023,GJT, not including dairy cattle
used To replace old cows in the herds.
To these figures should be added at
least S3.0OOOO0 for the value of milk
and butter produced on the average
farms Of the state, which was con
sumed IN the home, bringing the total
To Slu,025,657. The above figures have
just been announced by {. A. Hutton,
dairy specialist of the Division of Ex-
tension, University Of Tennessee. Mr..
Hutton states that the number of dairy
cattle in the state increased during the
year in spite of The fact that over
10000 head were shipped out to other
states. The value OF the dairy cattle
exported during the year by Tennessee
breeders was approximately $1,7j0.O0
to say nothing of a greater number
sold 10 local breeders who were start
ing herds.
At the beginning of 1916 there were
only five creameries in operation in
the state. The first of 1920 found four
teen and four others being built. In
1916 there We're no Cream-buying sta
tons, while on January /, 1920, there
were over 100 in operation, and many
others being established. There were
on January l, 1920 about 20 city milk
and ice cream plants in operation,
many of which also make some butter.
Early in 1916 rlere was not a cheese
factory in the state. At the beginning
of 1920 there were eleven factories in
operation and another one being built,
During the year 1919 these factories

Before the extension work was es-
tabllshed by the University of Tennes-
see in 1914, there had been a large
number of creamerieS and u few
cheese factories in the state which
failed: due largely TO the work of
the creamery promoter in selling
plants where they were not needed ;
the lack Of information on the part of
the people in operating such plants
and the lack of confidence on the part
of the producer with regard to the
tests received for milk and cream from
creamerieS and milk plants. Since the
establishment of the Dairy Extension
work the dairy industry has had a
steady growth and this growth has ma
terially Increased since the office of
the state dairy commissioner was Gre

1917.

Acid Test of Warrior.

Among the Mundurucus, a tribe Of
the upper Amazon. no youth is con-
sidered to have attained the dignity
of manhood until he has endured the
"ordeal of the gloves" In that coun-
try there is a kind of ant. as big as
wasp and quite as venomous; likewise
another species. known as the fire
ant" whose bite feels like q red-hot
needle piercing the flesh, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. Two bamboo
tubes are closed at one end and into
each of them a number of these poi
sonous ants are put. Then the tubes
called gloves" by courtesy, are tied
upon the arms of the young man
whose fortitude IS to be tested, and
wearing them, he goes about the vii
fage dancing and singing. If he shows
the slightest sign of distress he is pro-
nounced q failure and becomes an Oh
ject of deriSion TO the girls; but. if
he endures the agony without winCing,
his promotion TO the rank Of warrior
IS accomplished.

Each business person has self that
assumes direction and control during
office hours and should have quite
distinct and separate self for after
business hours. The moment the lid
of the office desk is down he ought
TO change automatically into his so
cial" self and let his business self have
complete rest until the lid of his
desk is raised the next morning. In
that way the self that must be so
keenly alert. that must concentrate so
surely during the day can sleep for
eighteen hours out of every twenty
four.
The person who has mastered the
secret Of thus alternating his mental
currents can stand enormous strain,
carry heavy burdens and overcome IN
told resistance without being in the
slightest danger Of a nervous break

MARKED PROGRESS OF RACE
Much Significance in What Might Be
Called the Division of Chinese
Shoe Periods.

Chinese shoes may generally be
divided into two periods-the bound
feet period and the natural-feet period
according to an article by Miss Yen
Wei Using. During the former period
the women were secluded and their
chief business was embroidery, even
their shoes being deliberately embroid-
cred. Each shoe consisted of two
pieces, at the border of which a mar
row strip of silk was sewed so as to
make q smooth edge. The two pieces
We're sewed together at the pointed
end with several fine cross stitches. A
wooden block about one-third inch
thick served as the heel of the shoe
the wooden block being wrapped in
several layers Of cloth.
Later the small shoes with the tiny
soles became fashionable. This kind
of shoe also consisted Of two pieces
with a silk cord at the juncture, to
prevent the seam from being seen.
When the Manchus became the ruling
class of China, women were released
from seclusion in the more progressive
homes and their chief interest was no
longer embroidery. They had no time
to pay much attention to their shoes
and they stopped binding their feet
and entered into the natural-feet Pc
riod with the Manchus.

BOY SCOUTS IN
YOUNG ARMENIA
Strangest Troop of All In Con-
stantinopIe Being Made Into
Good Citizens.

American Boy Scout training Is aid
of hundreds Of little Armenian boy
refugees from the Turkish massacres,
who have been organized into a scout
troop in Constantinople as the solution
Of one Of the most troublesome prob
lens that confronted the Near East Re-
lief workers in that city.
Hounded and driven for four years,
having seen their parents and relatives
slaughtered or worse by Turks and
Kurds and themselves forced to beg,
steal or do almost anything to exc out
the barest existence, these boys had
completely lost their moral sense when
they finally found refuge in the Near
East Relief orphanges.
The boys had been clad In rags for
so long that they had forgotten how to
take care Of clothes. This was tragedy
when the Near East Relief had need Of
every pair Of shoes and Of every suit
of clothes for new boys constantly COM
ing in.
Then the boys were organized as
Boy Scouts and given their uniformA
They began to be careful Of their
school clothes as well as Of their uni,
forms.
They had been so often hungry they
had come to steal without compunc.,
ton When they first entered the or
phanages they continued to steal. One,
boy stole a purse from his American]
teacher. For two or three weeks after
he became Boy Scout he was obvious-(
~ uneasy. One day he came to her
with the purse in his hand.

said reluctantly. "But have to. I'm

REPEATED HIS GREAT WORK
When Thomas Carlyle Proved InvuI
nerable to the "Slings and Arrows
Of Outrageous Fortune"

In 1885 there occurred an incident
which would have deranged an ordi-
nary nan. Thomas Carlyle was living
at Cheyne row, Chelsea, near Lon
don, He had not earned a penny, says
he to himself, "by the craft of litera-
ture for % months" But with the
push OF d tiger he was blowing his
way through his History of the
French Revolution" The first volume
was finished. 1t had taken him five
months to write it. He loaned the Mss
to John Stuart Mill. On n certain
morning Mill called upon Carlyle, his
face as white as ashes. After two
hours of awkward fumbling Mill man
aged to tell it-he had left the price
less Mss. on desk and the housemaid
had taken it to light the morning fire
In the CRATE! Carlyle was like q
stricken man. But one day, as he sat
dumbly at his window, he saw CHEEKY
bricklayers building q house, brick by
brick. He burst into tears and, sob
bling like d child, he cried: 81, too, can
bring back thought by thoughtr He
did. He recalled all of the Mss. and
rewrote it. What torture!

MUCH LIKE WESTERN CITY
Tifiis, Capital of New Georgian Re-
public, by No Means Typical
of the East.

Mr.. Melville Chatter, recording i'm
pressions in the National Geographic
Magazine, admits that he was sur
prised when he arrived In Tif1is, cap
ital of the new Georgian republic. He
mad expected a city more suggestive
Of the East, as the Western mind pic
lures it; but the Golovinsky prospekt
the main thoroughfare through the
heart of the city, stretched before him.
"as handsome bit of modern metro
politanism as can be found anywhere"
and its restaurants, shops, opera, and
what used to be the viceregal palace
but which now flies the standard of
the new nation, suggested at once the
French adjective "chic." More than
that, this new capital was brilliant
with uniforms, Russian, Georgian, Ar
henian. British, and most picturesque
Of all, the Caucasian costume, with its
broad-shouldered, wash-waisted coat,
high. heelless boots. and astrakhan
cap. One marveIed at the load OF
weapons that completed It.; q sword
rafting and clanking with the wear
er's martial stride, brace Of pistols,
a pair Of daggers, and a collection OF
what looked like enormous fountain
pens hung across the Caucasian
bosom, but which. turned out to be
hollow tubes intended to be loaded
with powder and shot. One must add
stiff mustaches and a close-shaven
skull to picture this Georgian in all
his glory on the Golovinsky prospect
q his national capital. Clothing for
civilians is scarce and expensive in
Tifiis, but the CASTOR uniforms OF
military officers are for sale, and many
a citizen In need Of a new suit had
bought himself an old uniform.

Snow Houses In the Arctic.

A snow house is the most adapta-
bic Of dwellings. If it gets too warm
either for the comfort of the inhabi-
tants or because the roof begins to
thaw, you can lower the temperature
by enlarging the vendlating hole with
your knife. If 1t gets too cold, you
make the hole smaller by stuffing a
mitten into it. If the roof begins to
thaw because it Is made of blocks
that are too thick, you send man out
with long knife or machete, and he
thins them down until the frost with
out neutralizes the heat from within,
and the thawing stops. But if you
have made your roof too thin, and
hoar-frost begins to form from your
breath and from the steam that rises
from the cooking, then a man goes
out with shovel, instead of a knife,
and throws a little soft snow on the
roof, to blanket it from the excessive
cold.-Harper's Magazine

Of the horrors Of Turkish massacres
and deportations. Saved by an Ameri-
can woman, she has come to this coun-
try and entered Oberlin College.
With her came fourteen other Arme-
MAN girls In charge Of Miss Adelaide
S. Dwight, Near East Relief worker.
who has been instrumental In helping
to save hundreds of thousands Of their
people from death by starvation. Miss
Dwight, who is not given to exagger>
alton and has seen conditions at first
hand, says more than million people
are facing death by starvation in Ar.
menia and will perish unless America
aids.
Herself an eyewitness to the slaugh-
ter of hundreds of helpless women
and children by the Turks and vic
tim Of the deportatons, Miss Dake-
sian, an unusually pretty girl, says
there is untold suffering In Armenia
and Syria. She praises the efforts Of
the Near East Relief, formerly the
American Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief, to save as many OF
these people as possible. At Erivan,
the capital of the Armenian republic,
one hot meal is given out daily, and by
this relief alone the city's death rate
has been cut from a thousand daily to
an average Of twenty. At Alexandra

Armenia were driven by thousands, the

deaths that Near East Relief Is making
