Green Feed

Many farmers have seeded rye and
crimson clover last August and sew
eral have seeded spring oats and rape.
Those who have done this are making
profit out of hogs today, while those
who do not have hogs have a crib full
of corn. The farmer who has green
feed raises his feeder pigs while the
farmer wo has crib full of corn and
no green feed has been buying his
feeder pigs ehertofore. He says today
that he cannot afford to feed hogs.
What he really means to say is that
the other fellow will not sell out, for
his business is making him money.
Feeder pigs are scarce; corn is plen-
tiful, but those fellows who raise their
pigs and produce green feed have the
inside track toward the spring mar
ket.
Every farmer with 100 acres should

In the Near East,
are volunteers serving with a high
purpose. and they do not recognize
hardship when they meet it.
They have had their opportunity to
withdraw with honor from the field OF
famine and desolation. They have re-
fused to leave, because they know that
their departure would mean death for
tens Of thousands OF women and chill
dren whom their efforts have kept
alive and whom they are determined
to save for a better future.
A dozen cables are on my desk from
various centers in Armenia, Anatolia,
Cilicia and Syria pleading piteously
for the lives Of hundreds of thousands
who are homeless: "Sixty-five thou
sand refugees Constantinople alone :"
Refugees focking into Aleppo; ;"
''Twenty thousand refugees at Ismid :"
'One hundred thousand people at
Alexandropo1 will starve unless relief
Is provided - Refugees arriving from
Caucasus, escaping persecution, naked,
destitutel Urgent need TO save most
of them from death ;" 1.-TWO hundred
thousand starving between Kars and
AlexandropOlI Severe winter adding
to distress"
Above all towers the mute appeal OF
the more than 100000 little children,
orphaned, homeless, whom these Amer
ican relief workers have saved and
whom we here at home must sustain
not only through the winter and
spring, but through the summer and
autumn as well. II we do not provide,
they perish! And with them dies the
hope of a New Near East.
The Easter season is here-the sea-
son that commentaries the Great Sac
rifice for mankind. America is known
as a Christian nation. She is also the
wealthiest nation that history has ever
known.
Can we really enjoy our wealth and
claim the name of Christian if we turn
q deaf ear to the appeal which General
Leonard Wood, in behalf Of the Near
East Relief, has sent forth broadcast
for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering TO save
these little children in Bible Lands?

RECRUITING FOR CIVIL WAR

the things that makes books interest

The only thing that you ought not to

EACH HAS PLACE IN LODGE
According 10 Custom. the Occupants
of Indian Tepee Have Their
Allotted Space.

AS there are six different ways OF
building camp fires. IL should be ex-
planned that my friends built theirs ac-
cording TO the Ojibway custom: that is.
in the so-called .Iodge fashion," by
placing the sticks upright. leaning them
together. and crossing them over one
another in the manner of lodge poles.
When the fire was lighted. the wind
shields formed perfect draft to carry
the smoke up through the permanently
open fiue in the apex of the structure.
and one soon realized that of all tents
or dwellings, no healthier abode was
ever contrived by man. Indeed, II the
stupid. meddlesome agents ofsciviliZa-
tiOn had been wise enough to have left
the Indians In their tepees. instead OF
forcing them to live in houses-the
ventilation of which was never under
stood-they would have been spared at
least one of civilizations diseases
tuberculosis-and many more tribes
men would have been alive today.
On entering an Indian teree one
usually finds the first space on the
right OF the doorway occupied by the
woodpile; the next by the wife; the
third. by the baby. and the fourth by
the husband Opposite these. on the
other side of the fire. the older chill
dren are ranged. To the visitor is
allotted the warmest place In the lodge.
the place Of honor farthest from and
directly opposite the doorway When
the dogs are allowed In the tepee. they
