That is the appeal of Arthur ]. Gull
Ter. graduate of the Kansas State Ag-
gle college and native of Kansas. who
is now director of the relief commits
sion in the Near East near Marash on

The Aggie graduate who takes adj
vantage of the opportunity thus Of
fered has a chance of becoming the
owner of one thousand acres of the
most fertile land in the world as his
reward for teaching the primitive
farmers of Turkish Armenia the arts
of modern agriculture.
THE land of the district is remark
ably fertile" writes Mr.. Cutler. But
the farmers are wholly ignorant OF
modern methods of cultivation. All of
them have heard of the wonderful
progress OF American agriculture and
they are anxious to be taught scien-
tific agriculture. The farmers of the
Marash district have pooled sufficient
land SO that they can offer to some
young kansan who understands agri-
culture the 1000 acres if he will come
and teach them how to farm. It will
be necessary to import farm ma
chinery and a tractor to handle the
farm. Grapes and pistachio nuts are
now the chief crops, but figs. olives.
wheat, rye and garden vegetables are
grown under the most crude farming

Clemenceau's Policies VIII Rule
France Despite Resignation.

Paris, Jan. 14.-Frsnch political cb-
servers agreed today Premier Clemen-
ceau will continue to be the real head
of the government, even after his res
ignation Saturday.
The premier. President Poincare
and Alexandra Millerand have reached
an agreement, it was said, thru which
Clemenceau's policies will be kept in
force by cabinet of his own choosing
during the month between his resig-
nation as premier and his succession
TO President Poincare February II.
The result of the senatorial elections
Sunday cast aside the last doubts in
POLITICAL circles that Clemenceau will
be the next president.
When the Clemenceau ministry re-
signs Saturday. it was said, Poincare
will charge MiIerand with formation
of a new cabinet and Millerand will
announce a list already agreed upon
by himself and Clemenceau. When
Clemenceau succeeds to the presi-
dency, according to the politicians
here, he will confirm the Nillerand
cabinet. thus keeping his policies in
unbrollen control.
AS result of President Poincare's
election to the senate, observers said
it would not be surprising if he accepts
a portfolio in the Millerand cabinet.

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 14.-Transfer of
the federal capital from Rio Janeiro
TO the high plateau lands in the state
of Goyaz in the interior of Brazil
within five or six years is the aim of
a project introduced in the federal
senate. The Brazilian constitution al

the present measure is intended to
hasten the move.
The measure gives five years from

telephone and urban traffic services
in the new capital.
The plans contemplate modern

ance with approved town planning
ideas with a government house ana
other public buildings. 1t is also pro-
vided the government. should take
measures for the construction of new
railways to link the capital with the
different state capitals.
No estimate is made in the measure
as to the cost.
