trusting ones I'm the neverceasing pro-
lection of the sanity founder.
"ln the life of the republic today the
influence OF the Dalmatlan saint Is
strongly reflected. For n country to
maintain the characteristics OF It's
primitive founder is II social phenom-
enon Of which possibly San Marine
alone can boast.
During the days of Christian per-
secutions, I'm the middle of the Fourth
century, Marine and Leo, two stone
cutters OF Arbe, Dalmatla, crossed
the Adriatic and came TO Rlmini.
Their reason. says tradition, was TO
aid Christians, condemned by pagan
rulers, to reconstruct the walls OF that
city.
The walls OF Rlmlnl having been
finished, Leo and Marino looked long
ingly upon the solitude of the two
mountains. AS the hermits of the
Thebaid, who flourished at this same
period, they sought peace and solitude
in those impenetrable heights. Hew-
Ing bed from the rock and cultivat-
ing little garden, Marine found all
his material wants supplied. This
rough bed and site of the garden are
pointed out today by reverent peas
ants. A few slaves followed their
former overseers in order to practice,
undiSturbed, their Christian faith.
Marines desire was to found a
free society, based upon liberty, JUS
tice, simplicity, charity, virtue and,
above all. of love OF peace When the
good man came 10 die he called his
followers about him and bequeathed
to them his mountain. free from every
other man. His parting prayer was
that they never seek enlargement OF
territory by violent means. War
though a painful necessity for those
acting In self-defense, was an un-
pardonable crime in those who caused
1t. Begging his followers TO remain
true 10 the faith and TO live In perfect
accord, freemen all, he passed away,
little dreaming that in the Twentieth
century his little community would
stand, monument TO his peaceful
teachings and simple form of govern
ment, In the midst of war-torn
world"

This tiny nation, "our littlest ally"

ANATOLIA AWAKE FROM
SLEEP OF AGES.

Anatolia, which in Greek means a
rising, IS literally living up to Its
name. The leaven which during the
past two or three years has been
working such drastic changes In coun-
tries in Europe and Asia, recently
threw this portion of Asia Minor In a
ferment.
Anatolia, which lies between the
Black and Mediterranean seas and
touches Armenia on the east and Syria
on the south, Is the home of some
100000 Turks. Even though MO
hammedan Turks, these people have
suffered almost as much at the hands
of their own governing officials as
have the subject Greeks and Arme-
mans.
The original Turks in this area are
descendants of tribes which have
drifted i'm from Central Asia, but into
Anatolias crucible have poured
streams from many sources-Turani-
ans, Persians. Armenians and Greeks,
warrior tribes. nomads and merchants,
many of whom have lost their names
and traditions. In fact, most Of the
earth's animate creatures have ar
some time passed over It. The molten
products of the centuries are nOmads,
who often change a wandering life
into one of agriculture, living In hous-
es built of bricks of clay dried In the
sun.
The principal wealth of Anatolia
lies in It's agriculture. Portions of the
land are easily worked and fertile,
the tract from the Sea of Marmora
to Trebizond being particularly rich.
Other parts are rocky. or are inter-
spersed with salt tracts.
Due TO the paucity of population
numbering scarcely twenty-five per-
sons TO the square mile, and to the
fact that the inhabitants are imbued
deeply with the fatalism and suave
imperturbability of Mohammedanism,
which to the American mind seems
about 90 per cent laziness, two-thirds
of the tillable area is covered with
sprigs and useless weeds.
When the natives bestir themselves
and raise the common grains. grapes
and olives, cotton. tobacco and
poppy seeds which the land is capable
OF producing, there are not yet sufil-
Client transportation facilities to take
care Of the harvests. The Germans
saw the possibilities OF these regions
and were planning, when they shipped
railroad ties, steam tractors and agri-
cultural machinery into the country,
practical steps toward the realization
of their dream. Now travellers from
the Near East tell us that "soon the
locomotive the motor truck. and the
airplane will open up Anatolia In a
new way, binding II TO the world
commercially, politically, and geo.
graphically, as the historic bridge
land between East and West"

MEADE COTTON
MAY BE GROWN
1T MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR
FOR SEA ISLAND VARIETY
IF IMMUE TO WEEVIL.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-When the
house on Wednesday had under con-
sideration the question of making ap
preparations for the investigation of
cotton and other commodities import
ed into the United States Representa-
tive Byrnes, of South Carolina, said:
The sea island cotton, formerly
grown along the coast of Georgia and
South Carolina is rapidly disappearing
because of the destruction of the boil
weevil. The agricultural department
believes that the Meade cotton which
it has developed, long staple cotton
will prove a good substitute for the
sea island cotton. 1t can be used in
the manufacture of automobile tires.
''In order to induce the farmers in
a given section to grow this Meade
cotton an agent must be sent there
who can enlist the support of the coun-
ty agent, induce the whole community
of farmers to embark upon the plant
ing of this new cotton seed. II they
do not, when the crop is made and
they proceed to gin it there will not
be sufficient of the Meade cotton to
keep one gin busy, and it will become
mixed up with the short staple cotton
and will lose its value. During the cul-
tivation of the crop the agents must
keep in touch with the farmers they
induce to plant this new variety of
seed.
Furthermore, if they can do what
they hope to do and popularize this
new variety of cotton seed they must
keep it pure. The only way it can be
accomplished is by inducing a COM
munity to engage in planting this va
riety of cotton The department rep
resentatives express the opinion that
this Meade cotton can be grown UNI
der boil weevil conditions, and if this
is true, it may result in re-establishing
the long staple cotton industry in the
coastal section.
