AMERICANS WILL PUSH COMMERCE
 TO MANY PORTS
Plan to Avail of OppOrtuni- ties in Russia and
 Caucasus

Constantinople, Sept. 25 Amer jeans are gradually preparing to avail themselves of trade opportun- tiles which will present themselves as soon as conditions become more settled in Southern Russia and the Caucasus.
 The Guaranty Trust Company, of New York, opens its Constantinople Branch, the first American bank in the Levant, this month. The Ameri- can Foreign Trade Corporation has sold it's shipping department to an American organization called the Black Sea Corporation. E. c. Booth, Jr., formerly representative of the United States < Shipping Board in Constantinople, is head of the new corporation, which has chartered sew eral ships for the Black Sea trade and is designed primarily to assemble freight from the various ports of the Black Sea and make it available for larger American ships at Batum or Constantinqple.
 Admiral Mark Bristol, American high commissioner, is greatly inter- ested in the development of American trade in this field which has been abandoned by Germany and Austria. Twelve American firms are already established thoroughly in Constanti- nople and ten others have agencies which promise to develop into per manent organizations. So far the American ships have not made regu- lar schedules in the Near East, with the result that their business has been unsatisfactory in many cases.
 Direct Line Profitable.
 In recent report to the state de- partment, Admiral Bristol submitted a suggestion of F. A. Zimmerman, an American shipping agent in Constan- tinople. that direct line between New Orleans and the Levant would doubtless be profitable. He would have such line call in Cuba, Spain, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, South Rus sia, Georgia and Turkey.
 It is argued that the proposed line between New Orleans and Black Sea ports would afford more direct line than now exists for the shipment of coffee and other South and Central American products to the Near East in combination with shoes, hard ware, machinery, and various other manufactured products from the Mississippi Valley, which, Americans hope, will permanently replace Ger man and Austrian goods in this mar ket.

Coal Shortage
 In Portugal

Lisbon, Sept. 25.--A coal shortage lis being keenly felt in Portgual ow- ing to the prohibition of coal ,expor- tation from England and the absence of any good coal producing districts in this country. 4s | All coal for industries was import ed chiefly from Cardiff and Newcastle and since that has ceased and orders placed in the United States have been cancelled, the situation threatens tc become serious and people are look ing forward with alarm to the com ing winter. Abnormal conditions ex- ist as a result, all restaurants, cafes and places of amusement must close promptly at midnight and external illuminations are prohibited.
 There is but little coal produced in Portugal, which has been entirely de- pendent on imported coal. For do- mestic purposes charcoal is chiefly used all over the country in small earthenware stoves specially made for its use. Now, however, even that has disappeared as the price of fuel rose to such an extent that the gov ernment was obliged to enforce fix ed prices. In consequence, although there is plenty of charcoal farmers are not sending it to the. market, hoping to obtain ever increasing prices for wood.
 In the mean time all Portugal is suffering from utter absence of coal and people are obliged to buy wood when it is obtainable. Middleclass and poor people burn sawdust in small iron stoves expressly invented during the war for that purpose and also use impervious boxes lined with straw that finish cooking the food, after it is removed, boiling, from the stove. Many families unable to cook at home are having their meals at the restaurant.

Health Advice Conducted Under Direc- tion of the U S. Public
 Health Service
DIPHTHERIA

After babyhood has passed, beware of diphtheria. Of all the deaths of
 children to 4 years of age, more
 than one seventh are caused by diph- theria.
 Diphtheria is preventable and,
 when properly treated with ahtitoxin is curable. Most of the children who die of diphtheria really lose their lives because of the ignorance and
 carelessness of their parents. Diphtheria is disease most often accuring in children and resembling
 a sore throat or tonsilitis. It is caus-
 cd by small germ called diphtheria
 bacillus. The disease may resemble 1: A very mild sore throat, the ton sils and back of the mouth being red
 der than usual, and the person not feeling ill.
 It may look like more severe sore throat or tonsilitis with white or giayish patch, called membrane, on
 the tonsils. There may be only one
 or few small distinct patches, and
 the throat may feel somewhat sore.
 The glands in the neck, below the
 tcnsils, may be slightly enlarged and
 may feel about the size of small
 peas. The patient may feel rather ill. Or the disease may be like very very severe sore throat, with small or large gray or white patches. Not
 only the tonsiis but also the uvula,
 the small rounded end of the palate
 which hangs down between the ton sils, may have on it white or gray patches. eff there is a membrane on the uvula, the disease is almost cer- tainly diphtheria. With such throat the person feels very sick. Not only does the throat hurt, but there are
 usually aches in the back of the neck and the muscles generally. The glands in the neck may be quite large and feel painful when touched. The soreness in the throat may extend down the wind pipe, and membranes may form there. The patient is fe- |werish and aften is delirious.. sThe fever, however, is not necessarily
 high.
 When diphtheria is suspected, a physician should at once be called. Gray Hair.

obtained and what can be expected in jthis line.
 I Power farming will solve the mat ter of more intensive tfllage and the more extensive agricultural opera tions necessary to the support of the country. We must look to power farming machinery for the solution of the farm labor shortage. Aside from the actual utility of modern power farming equipment, the psy- chological effect on the farmers son and hired man is of inestimablc value.
 Many boys have left the farm be- cause they hated the interminable maddening round of milking cows, cleaning stables, currying horses and other work which must be done reg ularly on farms, but which they came to regard as drudgery.
 Such feeling of resentment is all ways intensified when boy sees the modern milking machine and cffici- ent tractor drawn tillage tools on the farm of neighbors who have had the vision to see thae such investments are profitable. This feeling is even more pronounced when boy finds that those up-to-date neighbors who venture to buy better machinery, pure bred live stock, fertilizers, etc, are more prosperous than his own father, who declares that such heavy investments are foolhardy and ruin ous.
 To the boy, the whole aspect of farm life is changed when he runs a good tractor and sees three furrows turned behind him instead of one in front of him. He feels the power un- der hip. At the end of the day he has accomplished as much work as he formerly did in week. There. is a throb of the machine that -goes through his veins and he loves it. He sees the work being done and real izes lie will have time to go fishing orI,to, the ball game pleasures thdt his parental boss never thought were
  possible. a
 Let the atmosphere of the power farm predominate in other lines IS we'll as the tractor. Let the engine pump the water, run the feed grind CT, turn the grindstone, saw the wood and a hundred other things that were formerly the Ibane of the boys exis- tence. Y;
 When all these things are accom- plished farm life will indeed be the wonderful life to live providing in- ventive genious does not overlook the great industry of the South and provide machine which will go through the fields and pick cotton, n task that now appears as an impossi- bility in the face of practical req soning, but not impossible in these days of wonders.
 A farmer of a few decades ago would have laughed at milking ma chine. A cotton picking mechanism will have to embody good many phases that appear now as human, but maybe some one will produce one. Who can tell?

checks and money orders for the next
campaign. All are optimistic and de-
clare they will "stick" for final VIC
tory in 1922. Dozens of women are
volunteering to organize Women's
Nonpartisan- clubs.
The victory was an expensive one
for the opposition. It is estimated
that the anti-Leaguers spent $5OO,00O
in Denver alone. Ten or more women
were working in each precinct under
pay. Banks and stores were closed
while the proprietors herded their
clerks to the polls. "Free love" prop
aganda was handed women voters at
the last minute when the League had
no time to answer the charge.

endum petitions and prevented this
law from going into effect. Governor
Stewart then called the legislature in
special session and a new law attack
ing the direct primary was enacted.
The League again circulated referen-
dun petitions and this law was also
tied up. Both proposals were voted
upon at the recent general election
and both were voted down and as a
result the primary stays as it is.
Although B. K. Wheeler, League
candidate for governor, has been de-
feated, he polled vote far in excess
of the vote polled for Cox, Democratic
candidate for president. Normally
Montana is Democratic by about 3d.
600 votes. Running more than 10000
ahead of Cox, Mr.. Wheeler, in nor
NAL year, would have carried the state
by 10000 to $4,000 votes. AS it is,
with a total vote Of about $4,000, he
is beaten by $4,000.
League and labor forces appear to
have elected four senators in addition
to holdover senators elected last year,
and II or IL representatives thus add
ing materially to their legislative
strength.
Numerous election frauds and irreg-
ularities are reported. Anti-League
interests are estimated to have, spent
$1,500,000 in the campaign. In spite
of their efforts the League candidates
polled twice as many votes as they
polled at the primaries, women voting
both at the primaries and at the gen
eral election.

Co-Operators in Production Field
Sugar Refining Coal Mining and Milk Condensing Are
Being Planned

plans for taking it over are now being
considered, details to be announced
later. For years the Pacific Cooper
ative league has distributed coal to
its members in California, saving
them many thousands of dollars. A
comparatively owned and operated
coal mine within the near future is
almost certainty. ....
Farmers in various dairy sections
of California are considering the feas-
ibility Of starting cooperative milk
condensary. The need Of such an in
stitution is great, especially since the
discontinuance of the condensary at
Tolt, Wash, from which co-operators
all over the Coast were receiving
canned milk. "Co-operative milk"
was exceedingly popular, both because
of its superior quality and the ideal
conditions under which it was made.
It is hoped that permanent cooper
ative condensary will soon be estab-
lished, turning out plentiful supply
Of similar brand.

Minnesota
Official Canvass Shows Big Gains
for the League

Minnesota was the first state to
complete it's official count. Shipstead
got total Of 2S1 ,4O2, or FL 900 more
votes than the Leader gave as the es-
innate of his total vote in the last is
sue. Tremendous gains by the League
everywhere were shown by the off
cial canvass.
The total vote for the state in 1918
was 380,604, and in 1920 797,945, an
increase of All, ,341, or 100 per cent.
In 1918 the vote for Evans, League
candidate for governor, was 111,948.
In 1920 the vote for Shipstead, League
candidate for governor, was 281 ,402,
an increase of 169,454, or 151 per
cent.
In 1918 Evans vote was 29 per cent
Of the total vote.
This year the vote for Shipstead
was 35 per cent of the total vote.
This showing was made in spite of
wholesale violations of the election
laws by the Republican machine. Evi-
dence on this score, gathered by
League and labor workers, is now be-
ing presented to the authorities for
action. sg-ss
The final count showed Rev. O. j.
Kvale and w. L. Carss, indorsed by

by narrow margins. On the other
hand, Congressman O. E. Keller, in

the growers Of sugar beets in Califor-
MIA are being paid poor prices for
their crops by the refners, and in
many localities the idea Of cooper
ative sugar refinery is becoming pop
ular. A branch society Of the Pacific
Cooperative league is now being
formed at Buena Park, near Los An
geles. The farmers in this district
are in earnest about the launching of
a cooperative refinery, using the local
cooperative society as. distributive

BILE, although caution will be exercised,
in order that success may be guaran-

BOOK MANY CENTURIES OLD
NeA" Testament In Manuscript, Mar.
Velously Preserved, Was Brought
TO New York From Armenia.

One Of the oldest New Testamena
manuscripts In the world, and the old
est 80 far as Is known, In the United
States, was brought from Europe by
John Hahn. Hungarian. A dozen or
more full-page colored illustrations Of
Incidents In the life of Jesus begin the
volume These are followed by two
pages OF historical data and several
more comprising a calendar.
Little is known of the history Of this
ancient Testament, A brief account Of
It's later adventures is given in the
center of the book, written In modern
Armenian by Jezekiel Arshaguni, who,
In 1895, wrote what he knew Of its
story. During the reign Of Abdul
Hamiam, when the Turks were per-
scouting the Armenian people, pillag-
ing homes, demoIlshing chapels ana
carrying away all the books, this vol
ume was saved because It was hidden
In water, doubtless In a well, until the
Danger had passed. The book was
equal to the test. The Ink stayed fast
and the parchment firm. Only the red
leather cover was loosened from the
canvas back, showing its wooden foun-
dation and scrap Of silk lining.
