CHINA'S FAMINE

Three distressing objects make
their appeal this year to the generos-
ity of the American people regardless
of creed or politics.
First on the list is the continued
sufferings of Armenian Christians
! driven from homes by Turks and
Kurds, prosecuted, tormented and
starved. The Near East Relief Gin
corporated) with headquarters at
New York and with an overseas staff
of 538 American men and women, is
ministering to $4,000 orphans in 229
orphanages; $4,000 outside of or
phanages; to thousands of girls in
eleven rescue homes; to numberless
sick in sixty-three hospitals, and to
millions destitute of food and cloth
ing.
The second object making its ap-
peal is the 100000 children be-
tween the ages of three and sixteen,
orphans and .half-orphans, in war
ravagd Europe. Relief is administer
ed to them through eight approved or
CARNATIONS under the general direc-
ton of Herbert Hoover
The most appalling calamity MAX
ing its appeal is the famine in north
ern China. Five provinces with a
population of forty-five million peo-
pie are the sufferers. In the most
favored regions there has been only
eight per cent of normal crop, and
an average crop barely sustains the
population. In some sections there
have been three successive crop fail
ures and the restitution and horrors
in consequence are indescribable. All
animals had to be killed for food;
utensils, articles of clothing and furn-
iture were pawned to keep from
starving. Thousands subsisted as
long as they could on grass roots and
leaves, and in desperation parents
sold their children rather than see
them die. Many have fed to IN,
known parts leaving their dead in
the trail of the famine. Millions
have persisted and millions more will
perish because relief is inadequate.
A desperate effort is being made by
various agencies to save as many
lives - possible. They must be cared.
for Iii next years harvest. $1,000
will save a life. If anyone fears that
in passing through the Chinese gov
eminent officials all that is sent away
will not reach the starving people,
taspre are other channels that give alb
soIute assurance Of transmission.
The Presbyterian church has 212
missionaries in the famine district
These cooperate with the Red Gross
in the distribution for relief where
the need IS greatest. The Board Of
Foreign Missions IA New York trans
mits without charge direct to the
missionaries. They are IN 3 position
to buy food stuff and whatever IS
needed in Mancharia and other near
est markets. The undersigned wiz
receive and transmit promptly to the
Board the gifts OF any who wish TO
contribute to this worthy object

A western publication laments the
condition of our Scommon carriers
and wishes something could be done
about it. We wonder if the editor has
heard about the recent election? Sen
ator Harding carried his own pre-
cinct; he carried Claremont, the pre-
cinct of candidate Cox; he carried
Hyde Park which is candidate Roose-
velt's precinct; he carried ''boss"
Murphy's Tammany precinct; he car
ried President Wilson's home precinct
in Princeton, and just to make it un-
animous, he carried the rock-ribbed
Free-Trade precinct in Texas, where
he later spent his vacation. All of
which would seem to indicate that
the people in electing the greatest
common carrier in political history
have already "done something about
t.''-American Economist.

Manhattan, Kans., January s.
There is more interest in farm bureau
work at present than at any other
time In the past year, farm bureau
officials here report During the past
two weeks Rice, Smith, Lincoln and
Butler counties have held meetings to
consider the organization of county
bureaus, and meeting has been call
ed for January II in Stafford County,
according to A. F. Turner, assistant
county agent leader.
Rice and Lincoln counties have
forened temporary organizations,
while Smith and Butler counties have
called meetings to form such organ
izasions. A. F. Kiser of Geneseo, is
temporary president in Rice county,
and " Z. Green Of Lincoln, is temp
orary president in Lincoln county.
If these counties all form organize
tions there viii be only enough state
and federal funds left to put on one
more county, Mr.. Turner says.

The sceptre is passing from Crea
Britain, but not from the EngIisl
race.
The prspOnderance is on the Cis1
Atlantic side.
Perfdioas Albion for some gener-
atoms has been able to threaten a
blockade and so stop international
comfy 81 her will.
At the opening of 1861 she smiled
at the prospect Of the descriptions of
an advancing rival.
The London Times in that year,
with undisguised JOY, declared the
great Republic-wfich had twce hum
siIiated her-at Yorktown and in the
swaups of Louisiana under "old
Hickory, to be no more.
And SO perspicuous a statesman as
William Ewart Gladstone, announced
in public address, that it seemed
that Jefferson Davis had founded a
nation.
But the mills of the gods grind
slowly. ..Ahat AhaP cried Palmer
ston and Lord John Russell, as the
pirate Semn1es drove our merchant
name from the high seas, and the
Laird brothers, in their populous ship
yards, drove at high speed the build
ing of other pirate craft to do Uncle
Sam dirt wherever on salt water OPP
portunity offered.
John Bull fattened on our four
years Of domestic broil. He laughed
at our calamity. Under fog and
other disguise he sneaked through our
blockade and supplied shareholders
conspiracy with quinine, coffee, arms,
ammunition and other necessities to
keep strength in the trembling legs
of sbastered Confederacy.
For two hundred years in all quar-
tiers OF the globe, he had gorged him
self with a 'sthieves' supper and
hoisted the Union Jack to celebrate
the event, and nothing henceforth
remained for him to do but extinguish
what a London daily the other day
called ssAmerica's damned impud-
eace." then ne would have the world
in his pocket.
But the mills of the gods turned
ont 3 different grist than he looked
for.
In 1917 the fight for his life was
put uo to John Bull; he lost hope, and
confidence IN his own strength had
DEPARTED, and he "came across" for
help.
In the interest of a better day for
the race the giant of the west put
forth his Irresistible strength in be-
half of England and her depend
eneies.
And now Ireland has come to the
front; and Great Britain has dropped
to the place we occupied in 1861.
And the whirlegig of time with "a
sort OF Runie rhyme" declares that
now it is our time to laugh!
She IS confronted with the POSSIBLE
ity of loosing q cfisice slice of her
empire.
Do we take her in her extremity,
and equip fighting ships to prey upon
her commerce? We do mott Do we
herald her dissolution to the world?
Wedo notl Do We insult her in her
own capital, as Russell of the London
Tines did IN Washington in 1862?
We do not! Do we indulge in proph-
ecy and rejoice with great joy that
the Irish have established a nation?

Soundness of their plan, and another
Meeting is being held to discuss the
additional information before an
nouncing the plan.
A. F. B. F. Presents Plan for Rural
Credits
J. r. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
and Gray Silver, Washington Repre-
sentative, appeared recently before
1he joint committee of agriculture
and banking and currency of the
United States Senate and advocated
plan for credit relief for farmers.
Among the things advocated are:
1. Amendment of the Federal Re-
serve Act to provide preferential
loans for speculative purposes.
2. Extension of the Warehousing
Act to serve the needs of both indiv-
iduals and cooperative associations,
and rural credits plan based on this,
which will enable farmers to market
their crops in an orderly fashion,
either individually or collectively.
3. Extension of the Federal Land
Bank System to provide farmers with
personal credit for such purposes as
buying improved seed, improved live
stock, machinery and equipment, on
the same general plan as that on
which real estate loans are now made.
Ellis County Farm Bureau Notes
Does Cooperation pay? You need
only ask the Farmers Union of An
tonino, Kansas, this and they will
tell you it does.
Five years ago twenty-one men or
ganized a Cooperative store at An
tonino with capital stock of $1,000.
and in five years they have seventy
eight members with a capital stock of
$4,000. This business is so organized
that each stakeholder has one vote
regardless of the number of shares
he holds. But we are going to let
Mr.. John Engle' tell the whole story:
owe started out with the twenty
one stockholders at ten dollars a
share. No one was allowed to draw
dividends until he had ten shares of
stock. We did this in order to in
crease our capital stock but last year
in March we found that we needed
more capital so changed our bylaws
that now we cannot draw any div
idends until we have twenty shares.
This will make US a capital stock of
$4,000"
When asked if it paid him financial
ly to be stakeholder Mr.. Engle re-
piled: cit certainly does. We always
pay go on our investment besides
this, the first year we declared 119o
dividends on the business done, the
second year we paid ITO, the third
21 Go, the fourth 248e We have not
settled for this year and hence do
not know what our dividends will be,
but we did considerably over $751;
900 worth Of business"
Although Antonino is an inland
town being about fifteen miles from
the nearest railroad and only three or
four families living in town during
the summer months, this store has the
of being one of the best
in the county. In fact some of the
customers live twelve miles away.
This shows what cooperation can
do to community and each year the
idea among the rural
people gains in favor. If one COM
munity can do this others will soon
follow.
Don't forget that the Farm Bureau
is your organization and that we
want anyone whether he is member
or not to use it. If you need help in

Talking to Each Other

Neighbor is talking to neighbor.
Things deep in the heart are coming
out at these. roadside conferences and
they are developing that there is deep
seated discoptent among the rank and
file of the laegue with the manner in
which the leagues affairs have been
conducted.
The ti-Townley faction claim
their leaders connection with the
sisal trust is proven conclusively by
his signatures on a certain check fac
SMILES of which were used with tell
ing effect in the last campaign.
Paid in Good Money
Thousands of Nonpartisan League
farmers are heavy investors in the
league. They have joined it and paid
their memberships. They have bought
stock in the cooperative stores where
dividends have been as scare as hens
teeth. They have bought stock in its
county newspapers, where dividends
have been even scarcer. They have
lent their credit to league enterprises
of all kinds by indorsing notes that
later were put up as collateral for
loans in league banks, but until the
sisal trust incident none of them have
seriously questioned where all the
money goes.

kota farmers has been slipping for
