Conditions in Near East.

Columbia, Dec. 2O.-E. o. Black,
treasurer of the Near East Relief, has
received a telegram from Henry Nor
ganthau, former ambassador to Tur-
key, telling of the deplorable condi-
tions now existing in the Near East
and making an earnest plea to the
people of the United States not to
abandon the little orphans who are
now being taken care of by the con-
try.
"America won the admiration and
gratitude of the Near East by disin-
terested altruism and philantrophy
during the past four years. Peace
and order have not been restored.
These people are still helpless. Their
land has again been the battle-ground
of contending forces. Their efforts
to maintain independence have parti-
ally failed owing to the superior force
Of their neighbors.
Large numbers of refugees have
again been dispossessed of their
temporary homes. Recent cables
state that the roads leading to va
rious places of safety are crowded
with refugees. A hard winter has
begun. The snow is knee deep in
many places. These helpless refu-
gees are again thrown on our mercy.
Unless we heed their cry they will
perish this winter by the thousands.
''The situation today is worse than
it was last year. The Near East Re-
lief is the only organization whose
funds are used for this work. Hun
dreds of thousands of these people
are living today who would have per-
ished had it not been for American
relief. Large numbers of orphans
now in the more than two hundred
orphanages maintained by the Near
East Relief are totally dependent
upon the Near East Relief for the
simplest necessities of life. They
must now be left to perish after being
rescued by us. No matter where
these people are or which faction
claims the right to govern them the
refugees are homeless orphans and
helpless. Their forces are turned
towards US in despair and expectancy
They are the Tiny Tins of the holi-
day season."

GRANT DE WITS SUIT AGAINST
MAURICE KELIHER ADJUSTED
OUT OF COURT.

Rapid City, March 26.-The now
famous damage suit of Grant Dewitt
VS.. Maurice Keliher, by which the
former sought to recover damages of
100000 against Keliher, has been
settled out of court by the payment
by Keliher to De Witt of $4,000 in
cash.
Both are wealthy stockmen of Pen
nington county. The damage suit,
after several continuances, was sched-
uled to be tried during term of cir
cult court which convened this week.
The suit was the outgrowth of a
fight between the two men over
straying cattle. During the fight
Keliher is alleged to have drawn a
knife and inflicted wounds on Dewitt
which for time were regarded as
serious.
At a recent term of circuit court
Keliher, against whom a criminal
complaint had been made in connec-
tion with the stabbing affray, was
convicted by jury of assault with a
dangerous weapon, which unless re-
| versed will subject him to term in
the Sioux Falls penitentiary.
Keliher will be sentenced at the
present term of court. 1t is under
stood that his attorneys will make a
motion for new trial. and in the
event that this is denied it is certain
that an appeal will be taken from the
| judgment of conviction and denial OF
a new trial to the state supreme
court, which will have the final say as
| to whether or not Keliher will be
compelled to serve term in the peni-
| tentiary.
| The delay in imposing sentence in
| the case was to give Keliher's attor-
neys time to have transcript of the
evidence made so they could prepare
their motion for new trial in the
case

Escape from Flood
On A Raft

Belle Fourche, March 26.-When
an ice gorge formed in the river here
and flooded the lowlands about
Belle Fourche, one family awoke to
find themselves in a serious predica-
ment.
When they looked out of their
windows they thought for a moment
that some strange transformation
had taken place and that they were
living in the days of Noah and were
passengers on his ark.
Their home was surrounded by
water several feet deep.
The mistress of the household,
with the assistance of her three chill
dren constructed a raft out of what
material was available.
This they boarded and in due time
had reached the dry section of Belle
Fourche.

RIGHT TO SEAT
1T is DECLARED THEY SHOULD

Albany, N. Y, March 26.-The five

state assembly "are ineligible and
disqualified to occupy seats" counsel
for the assembly judiciary commit
tee asserted in a brief filed with the
committee which conducted an inves-
tigation into the charges of disloyalty
against the men:
1T is by the organization to which
they belong that these men must be
judged" says the brief. Their in
dividual acts and declarations insofar
as they have been proven serve mere
ly to illumine and to show in con-
crete the principal purposes and pro-
gram for which the organization
stands and to confirm the seditious
purposes of the party to which they
belong.
Socialists are trying to bring
about change of government by po-
litical action backed up by a general
strike, the two being employed as the
two strong arms of giant to pull
down the structure of our govern
ment, which has been built and main
tanned through the inspiration, the
toll and the blood of countless loyal
citizens of this republic"

WARNS ERMERS
POOR SEED CORN
GEORGE WINRIG hit, McCOOK
COUNTY AGENT, GIVES ADVICE
ABOUT NEED OF TESTING.

Salem, March 26.-George Win
right, county agricultural agent of
this (McCook) county, calls attention
to the fact that the exceptionally
good quality of the 1919 corn crop
led to the conclusion that there would
be no trouble with crib-selected seed
corn this spring, but that despite this,
there are many reports from various
parts of the state to the effect that
crib-selected seed corn is terminating
poorly. In discussing the subject, he
said:
With land at the present high
value and all produce proportionately
high there can be no possible justifi-
cation for planting poor seed when 1t
is merely matter of testing and To-
eating the good seed as there is
enough seed testing above 90 per cent
to plant the entire acreage if care is
taken to locate it,
"The most important matter is to
test, first by taking out composite
sample and testing that and then by
testing individual ears if the COM
posite test is below 95 per cent.
"A composite test should be pre-
pared by first taking 100 ears at ram
dom and removing one kernal from
each ear, taking the kernels from va
rious parts of the ear. A box of sand,
dirt, Nor sawdust makes an excellent
germinator, and no attempt to keep
account of the ears from which the
kernels were taken is necessary. The
germinator should be kept as near
80 degrees F. as possible, as rapid
changes in temperature are likely to
spoil the test.
"If the composite test fails to show
a terminating power of about 95
per cent, or if many of the sprouts are
weak it will pay to germinate each
ear separately. This necassitates
keeping the kernels from eacn ear in
a separate space, and there are many
seed testers on the market which are
adapted for this work, but very salts
factory and inexpensive germinators
can be made at home. One of these
consists of a series OF trays which
are filled with sand or sawdust, a
cloth is laid over the top of each tray
and marked off in two-inch squares
and each square is numbered.
"a tray 20 inches square is con-
venient size. as it forms just 100 g
inch squares. The ears are then
placed in racks each holding 100 ears
The ears on the racks should be di-
vided into 10 sets of 10 ears each and
the trays into 10 sets of 10 squares
| each.
''It is then simple matter to num-
Der each set of ears in the rack to cor.
respond with set of squares in the
tray, and by always taking the ears
in order from left to right and the
squares the same way it is very easy
| to place the kernels from each ear in
their corresponding square in the
| tray, which eliminates the work ol
numbering each ear.
There is undoubtedly enough
good seed corn in the country for the
present season and next season alst
and with the experiences of 1913 still
in mind it would seem to be wei
worth the trouble of selecting enough
for the 1921 crop also to keep until
good sound crop for this year i!
assured"
