a Letter to
The Farmers.

Since the Near East Relief.
shared in the gift corn donated
by Minnesota farmers last
spring through the county farm
bureaus, you will be glad to
know that we have just received
an official report from our work
ers III Asia Minor and south Rus
STA, saying that food made from
this Minnesota corn has arrived
safely, and already has saved
hundreds of lives.
It is being eaten today in
Transcaucasia and Armenia by
women and children who would
have died if it had not come.
The food milled from Mime
sofa corn arrived at Batoun,, a
port on,the Black sea, in the car
90 Of the steamer Datchet,
which brought 4,400 tons of food
and clothing donated in the cen
trail western states.
This was the first time that
corn products ever have been
seen in the Caucasus, and al
ready several inquiries have
been received by our director
there, from the local govern-
ments, as to the possibility of
buying large quantities of corn
meal and corn flour in the United
States. Such purchases may
mean the opening up of a new
market for American corn. But
government purchases cannot be
made in time or in sufficient
quantity this year to save the
live Of the hundreds Of thou
sands of helpless women and
children facing death in famine
stricken villages throughout the
farming regions of southern
Russia, Armenia and the Holy
Land.
AS you know, the Near East
Relief is again appealing to the
generous farmers of Minnesota
and the other grain producing
states for corn and wheat to
combat this terrible famine
the most terrible ever known in
the Near East. If you, as lead
er Of the farmers organization
in your county, can let your fell
low-farmers know that every
bushel of gift grain will actually
reach the famine sufferers and
save the lives of other farmers
children there in south Russia
and the Near East, it will mean
a great deal to us and to those
helpless victims. All the food
made from the farmers gift
grain is being hauled from the
mills to the seaports free OF
charge by the railroads. In adj
dition to this service, equal to
tens of thousands of dollars,
many railroads have offered to
haul the corn and wheat, with
out one cent of cost, from the
country elevators to the mills.
Even where free transportation
has not been arranged, friends
of the Near East famine suffer-
ers have guaranteed payment OF
the freight. This means that
every bushel Of grain given by
farmers in your county, or its
full equivalent in wheat or corn
products, will reach the starving
women and children. Can you
let the farmers know these
facts
With sincere thanks,

tire Of today comes very close to av-

Running on under inflated tires is
a dangerous practice. Soft tires make
steering difficult, consume more
power and may more easily be pull
ed off the car than when properly
inflated When a car is travelling at
a high speed and throws a tire it
is extremely dangerous. Aside from
the danger, running on soft tires is
needlessly expensive. 1t quickly de-
stroys the cotton fabric of the tire
and shortens its life.

An accumulation of carbon on the
porcelain of the spark plug will
cause a short circuit. A broken
porcelain or points burned and too
far apart TO permit to permit spark
to pass across the air gap will also
cause a cylinder TO miss firing the
charge, with a result that you will
have an irregular running engine.
