The Turks were just driven out Of
Armenia last August but during their
occupation that have looted and de-
stroyed homes, made fields unproduct'

demolished all industries.
The men found in their homes have
been murdered, young girls and moth
ers or families outraged and carried
of to Turkish harems and children
turned out to perish. More than no..
OOe Of them have been taken into the
229 orphanages now being maintained

A good increase from the survivors
of. the southern Yellowstone or Jack.
son Hole elk herd is looked for this year
by officials of the bureau of biological
surwev of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, in view Of the
unusually favorable winter just past.
East years rains, it is said, produced
o, plentiful growth of feed on the
ranges, and as result the elk are
reported to be in excellent condition,
with the prospect Of only a normal
death rate instead of repetition Of
the mortality of the winter of 1920,
2ue to lack of forage and severe
winter.

Columbia, Dec. 10, 1921.
Dear Sir:
During the World War, when
the news Of the destitution in the
Near East was reported to the
authorities in Washington, it was
my privilege to have first hand
information relative to the ter
ribie conditions in Armenia.
have just had an interview
with members of the Commission
who spent three months last sum.
n1er in the Near East studying
conditions, especially in Armenia
and Syria, and they report an ap-
palIins situation which, up to the
present hour, has not been ade-
euately answered in spite Of the
coms1endable and continued gen.
erosisy of our people.
The Turkss did not yacate this
country until the month of August.
This did not give the Armsnians
q chance to raise a crop, and this
means that multitude OF women
and children will be in need or
food this winter. There are 1fo.-
GEO children In 22e orphanages in
the Near East who would die like
flies If the Relief Committee would
Get off their supplies.
You do not wish South Carolina
80 quit when what remains to be
done in relief is smali compared
with what has been done. Neither
do you want to lose the spiritual
satisfaction that will come from
"seeins the thing through in char
acteristical!y thorough American
fashion. The elamor OF the war
has gone. Real love, real vision
and real sacrifice are called for
now as never in the Near East.
You can feed one Of the father.

For the completion Of the task
that alesses every siver and for
the feeding of the dependents,
whose fate Is in the balance,

husbands and brothers?
 A number of men, even in the war of the Revolution, were never soldiers or sailors, and yet were patriots There was Benjamin Franklin, for instance He never fought, but who loved America better than he?
 There was Samuel Adams, who ever heard of his fighting a battle? But he was as brave and sturdy a patriot as any soldier in the army. Then there was Washington's friend. Robert Morris of Philadelphia. who helped get money to pay the soldiers.
 Thousands Of brave men risk their lives everyday to save others from harm. Brave doctors and nurses go where deadly disease is. Brave engineers are not afraid of sudden death fthey can save l their passengers from accidents. Brave iremen stand ready to die to bring little children out of burning build ings. Brave boys every summer risk ] their lives to save their comrades from drowning. Brave fellows hold in check maddened horses and prevent them from
 running away with women and children. Brave women risk their own lives daily
 for the sake of others. l Wherever we see a brave man, woman l or child there we look for patriot. | LOUIS GROVER, age 1. ! ioh

Dear wide-awakes: I'm going to tell you about two dogs that are owned by cattle herder out in Texas Most of the time these dogs have to work, but whenever they find a spare moment they hunt snakes. And since many of the snakes they meet are venomous, they have found it safer and surer to work in pairs.
 No snake seems to be too big for this pair, and it is only a matter of good management that they keep from being bitten. Once in battle with a huge copper head, one of the dogs was bitten on the nose and came near losing its life. The bite did not spoil the snake game; it l merely served to deepen the victims hatred of snakes and hardly a day pass es when he and his partner do not find
 and finish at least one.
 The self appointed patrol knows when and where to look for snakes. When a
 reptile is located one of the dogs attracts 1 it's attention by barking in its face while the other one grabs the snake fal below the fanss. The dos who has beer doing the barking. with a quick sniff | gets hold of the victims tail, and the tu: | of war is on. At this stage Of the battl
 it is not too soon to record another Dfs | ing in the gradually thinning Snaki ranks of the region.

My Trip To Hartford,

Dear Uncle Jed: I thought I would write and tell you Of my trip to Hartford. We started about 7.30 Wednesday, morn ing, August 10th for Hartford. On the way l saw many pretty sights including fields of tobacco. In Manchester it is grown near the edge of the sidewalk and 1t grows from 10 feet high in other places The tobacco was in blossom and the leaves were over foot long. Where the tobacco was Tn blossom, the people were stringing it on some sticks and go- ing to carry it to the sheds where they dry it. Some of the tobacco was grown under cheese cloth. When they grow it under cheese cloth they get from to cents a pound more for 1t because 1t keeps the storms and insects off of it. l had very pleasant ride and hope all the Wideawakes will have as nice a ride sometime as I did

Retarding Spark on Hills
 Keeps Motor from Knocking
BY C. N. HYDE

"Why do you tell Mother to retard the spark when she is driving the car uphill, Daddy"
 Because the motor is lzboring hard and begins to knock. You may also have noticed that l have to remind her to advance the spark when driving on level road.
 Tine spark is the shorter of the two levers on the steering wheel quad rant. The longer lever IS hand gaso- line throttle controlling gasoline sup ply. The spark lever connects with a distributor that times the electric sparks in the cylinder spark plugs. On some cars the spark is retarded when the lever is pulled down on the quad rant; on others, retard position is at the top.
 The spark lever regulates the time of the spark as related to the position of the piston in the cylinder, as these crosS-sections show. Fig. A shows retarded spark with the spark plug (R) firing just after the intake valve (x), admitting gasoline vapor, has closed and the riston (s) has started dotrn. In Fig. B, middle position. the spark is firing just as the piston i, at the top. In Fig. (. advanced spark, the spark is firing just before the pis- ton reaches the top and while the valve is still slightly open.
 When the car is running at fair speed on a level road, I advance the spark to fire just ahead of time be- cause under such conditions the piston moves so fast that 1t reaches the top

Dear Uncle Jed: IL was dark and stormy night when the little vessel fn~ all came to anchor. The coast could he seen dimly through the mist, and ths rocks though dark and dismal, were z welcome sight to the almost diScour Pilgrims. Men, women and childrea
 were gathered on the deck eagerly look
 ing toward the shore. It does not seen
 much to you who have seen land alruosa all your lives, to be out on the ocean s6
 long, but to them, after having sailed fof
 weeks at a time without seeing a ElinpsS of it. it was all they needed to make them happy.
 Some one started to sing a hymn ana in moment all had joined in,- and foI ! the first time in history there arose .
 swelling chorus, such as had never been heard in that place before. Hymn after | hymn they sang, until the first break ol dawn in the east told them that day had ] come. Men set out in boats while ths women and children waited anxiously for | the return Of the others. News wss
 brought at last. and when it was known ! they they would have a home in a very
 short time their joy was complete

Secret Code Dscovered-
 But Girl. Make Another
BY MOLLY PRICE COOK

There was great excitement in the vestibulei Ruth Mason's side was try ing 10 rescue a note from the enemy. Violet got it." said Ruth, but those girls cannot read it because they'll never decipher our codep
 For days one group of girls had been exchanging notes in code, and nobody could understand them. Another group grew envious and started some codes of their own. Then the fun began One of the codes was rather easy and Ruth figured 1t out. It had numbers for every letter in the alphabet, but each vowel was given two numbers so when the vowel appeared twice in the same word, different numbers could be used. This IS the way 1t ran:
 a Is < p; D 30; 31; d g: z Y
 & 8; f 2l; g 20; h ?; i 5 & II;
 4: k IA; P; m 5; 6; IS
 & 28; p 10; q lo; "A; 16; F:
 II & 9; 25; 7; 20; y 13;
 g. Therefore, Lend me y6ur
 book" is written: 27,l7,6,29 58
 13,lS,l,24 3Q,2S,lS,l4.
 Ruths code is one that was used during the Civil War. It is shown in this illustration. If any of the girls in Ruth's group turn spy and tell the code, it will be easy to make new one by beginning the alphabet with the last figure instead of the first and let tering the figures from right to left instead of from left to right. A nans5t' code can he used together with the alphabet code. Use geometric designs like circles, squares, trianglcs, rhomboids, and number them from one
