At a meeting of the business
men with representatives from
the train. in the office of the
county agricultural agent Friday
evening. business men expressed
the conviction that the state le-

for the more rapid development
of the cut-over country in order
that work similar to that being
done this year may be repeated
next year and the year after. and
this spirit is general wherever
the train has been. That is why
it has been said by those on the
train that the train is but the
first step in campaign which
will be continued through the
years to come.

ARMEN|ANS HAIL
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AS THEIR SAv|ORS
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ARE
LIVING TODAY BECAUSE
OF U. s. AID.


New York.-Charles v. Vickrey,
secretary Of Near East Relief, has sent
the following cable message from Con-
stantinople to Near East Relief head
quarters in this city:
Have just returned from a thor
ough inspection of conditions through
out Armenia. The premier, president,
governors, mayors and all authorities
agree that Armenia was saved last
year by the -four and other foodstuffs
sent from America. Hundreds of thou
sands are living today who would be
dead had it not been for American re-
lief They are devoutly grateful to
their saviors dn the United States.
"The Armenians are thrifty, hard
working and Industrious. Considering
their handicaps they have made re-
markable progress towards self-sup-
port. Hundreds of thousands of them
are still homeless refugees from Turk
ish Armenia.
without modern agricultural i'm
plements, with an insufficient number
of oxen and with an inadequate supply
of seed wheat they have succeeded in
raising food supplies that will carry
them until mid-winter. Supplementary
supplies must be provided until the
recently signed peace treaty with
Turkey can be made effective and Sc
curity given under which they can re-
turn to the site of their ruined homes
and regain full self-support.
Everyone joins in high praise Of
the magnificent life saving-if not ma
ton saving-work of Col. Haskell in
the -four distribution Of last winter.
Since the withdrawal Of Col. Haskell
and the American military mission
last August the relief work is being
continued under the civilian direction
of Capts. Yarrow and Strong.
"The American civilian personnel of
Near East Relief operates one orphan
age at Alexandropol that contains ap-
proximately ten thousand Armenian
war orphans. Another orphanage at
Kars accommodates six thousand or
phans. There are three thousand at
the Erivan orphanage and smaller or
phanages at other centers.
These orphaned boys and girls
constitute the hope Of the future for
the Near East. American philanthropy,
through Near East Relief, is render
ing an inestimable service in promot-
ing good will and international
friendship. A few millions of dollars
today in the form of food, education
and industrial training for these or
phans may save billions of dollars to-
morrow in warfare and international
strife"

MOTOR BRIEFS.

The shortage of labor has led TO
an increased demand for motor
tractors.
More automobiles are sold in New
York and New Jersey than in any
other proportionate area of the
country.
The word Victoria" used for
automobile bodies, signifies an open
type, fitted with a folding top cover
ing the rear seat only.
The first sale of American-made
motors to Morocco was recently an
nounced when an order was placed
for eleven commercial trucks.
Prices quoted for American auto
mobiles in Glasgow, Scotland, are
practically 100 per cent above the
market price in the United States.
From January to June, 1919,
1852 automobiles were imported
into Brazil from the United States,
and SO automobiles from other
countries.
Out of the ten States in the Union
having the greatest percentage of
gain in motor vehicles, five are pre-
dominantly agricultural and five
manufacturing.
On account of the rapidly grow
ing traffic in New York City, it is
fast becoming increasingly difficult
to operate an automobile in the con-
gested districts.
The sale of American automo-
mobiles in Calcutta, India, is far
larger than that of any other coun-
try. OF the 772 cars imported in
July, 1919, $50 were American.
For the production of automobile
tires practically every large manu-
facturer in the United States main
tains its own rubber plantations in
Sumratra. Ceylon, India, or other
tropical countries.

AMERICAN RELIEF REACHES
100000 In THE NEAR EAST

The Near East Relief work is d.
vided into three branches, with offices
in Beirut, Alexandropol and Constan-
tinople. The latter station, having a
personnel of 200, is caring for $4,000
orphans, 10000 hospital cases and o.
900 in industrial work, giving direct
aid in money, clothing and soup to
temporary refugees. The committee
here visits needy homes, arranging
employment and other aid affecting
10000 people.
In the Caucasus the work now is
concentrated at Alexandropol under a
personnel of 20 Americans, where a.
900 orphans are fed and lodged. Refu-
gees from Cilicia, on account of BAN
ditry in the French zone of Syria,
have greatly increased. Col. Coombs,
managing director at Constantinople,
commends the spirits of sacrifice
among American relief workers, which
more than offsets the lack of some in
experience.
When Americans became beleaguered
in the bandit-infested interior, Col.
Coombs wrote circular letter inform
ing the personnel that they were free
to leave when they felt conditions
warranted it, but only three former
soldiers quit their posts. Even after
Adana was surrounded Miss Doris Ne
vim, the late composers daughter, of
Pittsburgh, and Miss Ruth Henry, of
Amherst, Mass, voluntarily braved
journey through the Turk lines to
take charge of that branch. This was
only one of several similar incidents.
