great many others, he quit the pro-
fession on account of low salary, All
three of the teachers employed in our
school will quit teaching after this
year for the same reason. -
Our town is full of strangers and

poles and it will take some time to do
this.

Relics of Aztecan Era.

Near Phoenix, within the Salt river
valley, are to be found seven com.
munal settlements of the same pre-
Aztecan era, with central buildings
that We're far larger than that at Casa
Grande, a writer in the Christian
Science Monitor states. To the north
ward and northeast every river valley
retains evidence of the passage of at
least a portion of these peoples, for
some reason leaving their cities and
their irrigated fields on the plains and
seeking the mountains and the upper
Olateaus.

Satisfied With Little Food.

In the Edinburgh (Scotland) zoo
there is a crocodile that is content with
q rat or a piece of horseflesh every
fortnight. There is an anaconda which
arrived more than a year ago and has
since steadily refused to take food Of
any kind, an example of abstention
surpassed, however, by an Indian py-
thon which during it's Is months stay
has not voluntarily taken food.

For business purposes, for social
purposes, for any purposes in life, a
rule that should admit of no excep-
tons is: BE specific in everything
you say. Don't take it for granted
that vague, general statements will
properly convey your meaning" Cen
eral statements, please remember,
leave wide room for inference, and
there is always the liability that a
wrong inference will be drawn.

READ that a P%entecostal preacher
has been found guilty in Ozark coun-
ty of robbing a blind man of 500 and
given two years. The case has been
appealed. I'm afraid, though, here's
another disciple gone wrong, accord
ing to the law and the evidence-one
of too many skepticizing instances
variegating the straight and narrow
highway. How is the bordering lay
man to differentiate between the true
and the false, except by the legal
outcome?

The mania for striking was exem-
plifed in Lamar, where a gang of
men were hired to do concrete work
for the city, not because it was nee
essary at this time, but to furnish en-
ployment to several needy laborers.
And yet they went out on a strike for
higher pay at 9 O'Clock n morning.
The mayor simply letthem stay struck,
saying the work was not at all neces-
sary. He may not be a Jul eclipsing
official, but as a strike breaker he is q
s~cintillating success.

TRUMAN Fl. NEwBERRY remains an
active unit of the Republican majority
in the Senate notwithstanding the
charges of corruption, fraud aud con-
spiracy made against him in a federal
court in connection with his election
as United States Senator from Mich
igan. If Mr.. Newberry followed the
example of other Senators who alb
stained, while under charges, from
participation in the Senate's delibera-
tions and voting, the Republican ma
jority would be reduced to a margin
OF one or two. MIR. Newberry shows
no delicacy about helping his party
control the Senate, and his party-in-
GLIDING Republican Senators-has no
objection to accepting his assistance.

AMBASSADOR ELKUs .
TALKS Of ARMENIA
American Who Knows of Turkish
Atrocities From First Hand
Gives Testimony.

Hon. Abram l. Elkus, who was AM.
bassador to Turkey when diplomatic
relations between that country and
this were broken off, is as well quail
fed as any man to tell Of the brutal
and cruel manner in which the Turks
treated the Armenians, who had been
slaughtered by thousands even before
the World War gave them the oppor-
tunity to continue their atrocities with
renewed fanatical zeal.
Mr.. Elkus, in a recent address In
New York, when attending a meeting
of the Near East Relief Committee,
went into detail and told of some of
the sufferings heaped upon a nation as
old as Christiandom. His recital is.
quite in line with the reports made
by Former Ambassador Morganthaur
who is clearly identified with the move
to extend immediate relief to the
stricken Armenians.
Here we don't know what starya-
ton really u.s." said Ambassador
Elkus in the course of his address.
"In Armenia, because Of the persecu-
tons of the Mohammedan Turks, mill
lions of men, women and children
have actually starved to death. The
sufferings | have seen and know Of
through my own investigations would.
make SO narrowing a tale that it would
pull at the heart-strings Of all Ameri-
cans, and cause them to open their
purse-strings with free hands,"
Then he related how the childrenl
over there were dying by hundreds
and thousands and how they looked to-
this country for help.
Missourians will respond to the let
tiers recently sent out by the Near
East Relief, urging gifts this Christ
mas season that will save many of the
children, who will perish else this
help is given. W. w. Smith, vice pres
ident of the First National Bank of
st. Louis, has been named Treasurer

COMMON ANCESTOR TO BLAME
UnsightIy Apple" Is Legacy Be- queathed to His Posterity by
 Old Father Adam.

We all .'have 1t In" for Adam for shutting to our faces the gates of the Garden of Eden. But many of us, though we may not know it, bear . particular resemblance to this com mon ancestor that puts another chip on the shoulder. For it Is generally conceded that an Adams apple" fs no aid to beauty. And besides making of our Paradise n cold. bare world. ft is Adam who inflicted upon us this ad- ditional burden. When our common progen.tor took the fatal bite that for ever doomed the rest of us to exist ence by the sweat, of our brOws. | piece of the fruit is supposed to have lodged In his throat and stuck there in his children's children unto the nth generation. And that is why the slight proturberance that some people have at the front of the throat is called Adams apple.' Speaking of ancestry. some of us carry about on our persons unmistakable proof of our ancient llneage.-Chicago Journal.

Since efficiency is finding it's way into all business one of the oldest professions of all has begun to adopt modern methods The innovation Is due to beggar who made his stand opposite one of the subway entrances along the Williamsburg bridge ap- proaeh on Delancey street. the New York Evening Sun states.
 Many who passed this spot recently were struck by the appearance of this beggar, an elderly, long-bearded man. who sst huddled up In wheel chair Alongside was husky youth of nne- teen or so. busily engaged in barking for the beggar.
