Modern American farm implements

ment Of motor and horse tractors OF
all descriptions for use on 10000
acres of land, that have been turned
over by the local governments to
American relief workers, to cultivate
by using the labor Of those whom
American charity is aiding.
Following this plan of constructive
relief in the Near East, word has been
received by the Near East Relief office
In New York that the National
Grange, In session in Portland, Ore.
had offered to send a tractor to the

MARYLAND HELPING
COMMODITY DAY
ALL SECTIONS OF STATE GIVING
CANNED GOODS AND
DRIEDaFRUlTs
NEED GREAT QUANTITY

AS result of the appeal which was
made to the city of Baltimore for food
stuffs to help fill the Food Ship ALA
quash" sailing from Philadelphia to
Batoum, splendid start was made.
Hundreds Of cases Of prunes, raisins,
corn-beef, salmon, soup, condensed
milk, syrup, chocolate and cocoa, pre-
serves, and jams, also soaps were
sent. Sacks Of sugar, -four, beans,
seed wheat and seed corn helped to
swell the cargo.
The need was only partly met. The
appeal is now spreading throughout
the State. Eagerstown and Freder
ick have used the public schools as
did Baltimore for collecting points
Every school child was asked to bring
on certain day some Of the de-
sired articles
The Boy Scouts collected the ma.
terials and put them In packing
cases,
In Kent County through the efforts
OF Mrs. Evelyn Harris certain gar
ages and stores were used as col.
lecting points. where farmers brought
all sorts OF clothing and shoes, gar
den seed and commodities. These
were gathered together by Gladdens
Express and brought to Baltimore to
be included in the ship-load.
Churches are now planning to have
a white gift service, the results to be
sent on the next ship sailing about
the 10th of January. Gather togeth-
or your clothing now. Order from
your local grocer now. Delve into
your pantries, search your ware
houses and give something for the
100000 people in TIE Near East who
face starvation, 100000 of whom are
orphans. Notify the State Director at
IA W. Franklin Street, Baltimore,
Maryland, of the material which is
being sent. Wherever possible ask
local companies to send It out.
Hose, rakes, shovels, spades and
other tools Of all sorts are most &C
ceptaDle. Put in hammer or other
tools which you can spare.
In the counties numerous auction
sales are being he'd and farm ma
chinery is being disposed OF at low
prices. Why not give many of these
tools to the Near East Relief!
There is nothing over there with
which to begin the work of recon
structing cities or planting in the
spring except as Americans furnish
the utensils.

ARMEN|ANS SUFFER
LIKE THE BELG|ANS
BUT FATE WORSE THAN THAT
COUNTRY, SAYS CAPTAIN
GRACEY
Is EASTERN AUTHORITY

Startling revelations about condt'
tons in Armenia, were made by Cap
tain George Gracey, B. S. O., an au
thority on the Eastern question, dur
ing recent address, the following
extracts from which are sent by Mary.
land headquarters, Near East Relief.
Armenia, declared Captain 0racey,
was not unlike Belgium, but the suf'
fering in Belgium, as the result of the
German invasion, was not to be com
pared with that Of the Armenians
And the Armenians are still suffering
In the autumn of 1914, said Captain
Gracey, the Turks sent emissaries to
the national Congress OF the Ottoman
Armenians, then sitting at Frzerum.
and made offers of autonomy IL they
would actively assist Turkey in the
war. The Armenians replied that they
would do their duty individually, as
Ottoman subjects, but that as a ma
ton they could not work for the cause
Of Turkey and her allies. On account.
in part Of this courageous refusal, the
Ottoman Armenians were systemati.
cally murdered by the Turkish Gov
eminent in 1915. Two-thirds Of the
population of Armenia were extermi'
mated by the most cold-blooded and
fiendish methods-more than 100000
men, women and children. Thousands
of men, women and children were de-
ported. In this scheme of extermina
ton 100000 died before the deperta
ton plan was completed.
Over 1000 Of the younger men were
hurled down cliffs and killed. When
a river was to be crossed, the women
and children would be made to un-
dress and the Turks would then take
the jewelry that was concealed about
them. 1t was no revolutionary society
that held the Armenians together, seid
the Captain, 1t was their religion.
One Armenian priest was seized by
the Turks and his Bible burnt, the
same fire being used to scar his face,
arms and legs. Then he was slod
with iron shoes, as if he were horse,
Turk on his back. To end his agcny
the priest threw himself in q we'll
But he was taken out by the Turks.
who then beat him to death. But
there were even worse things done
than this, said Captain Gracey.
The Americans, Captain Gracey
pointed out, are supporting 100 zoe
orphans and there are still 100000 IN
provided for. He had received let
Ter, stating that Russian soldiers had
given up parts of their rations SO that
some of the Armenians could satisfy
their pangs Of hunger "he soldiers
could not see them SUI For him
self, Captain Gracey s he looked
upon these Armenian dldren as If
they had been his own md they were
as dear. There were 10000 orphans
alone in the little town in which he
had been working.

ING ARMENIANS

Mar! land farmers who think thei'
situation is bad, who say they can find
nothing to give the Near East Re

following two letters, which are sent
out by Maryland Headquarters, Near

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"BLAcKMAiL."

TT, TODAY, anyone were to
accuse the editor Of a news
paper of accepting blackmail
when he exchanges a years sub
scription to his paper for a
bushel of potatoes or to state
that a merchant Is guilty Of the
same practice when he trades
his goods for farm produce they
would probably be sued for
libel. AS matter of fact, they
would be only using the word
in its primary sense.
In the early days of English
history "blackmail" - derived
from the word "black" and the
French "maille," meaning rent
was applied to the rents received
from tenants in the form of
work or grain, in contradistinc-
ton to payments made in silver
or white money (maille blanche).
Later, when the feudal barOns
and freebooters of many kinds
roamed the highways almost at
will, they collected "blackmail"
in the form of forced levies Of
goods and provisions from the
inhabitants of the countryside
or from travellers who fell into
their clutches and the word fell
into such disrepute that, under
the Elizabethan laws, 1t was
made a felony without benefit
of clergy"
II is doubtless from this law
and the practice which neces
STATED ii that the modern mean
Ing of the word-now synony-
nous with hush-money or

Soldiers Bonos Goes


Included in the taxes of the next
decade will be the payment of the
bonus to the boys OF the recent war.
The senate last Monday after a heat
ed debate passed the house bill pro-
viding that bonds for $22,000,O00 be
issued to pay such bonus to world
war veterans, leaving out the Stu
dents Army Training Corps boys
who attended school in this country
and were not in the regular army
service. Senator Stoddard, of Wood
bury county made a noble fight to
include these s. A. T. c. boys, and
had much sympathy IN the matter,
but not enough votes. The senate
thus receded from the amendments
1t stuck on the house Dill and passed
the latter bill as it came over to
them. Thus the people of the state
will vote directly on the bond issue
at the regular election IN 1922-and
it will carry, of course.
Two bills to place a license on the
sale of cigarettes, one also on tObaC-
cos, are pending in the house, and
either bill would bring in revenue
sufficient to pay the interest on the
100000 soldiers bonus bonds
and leave some to pay on the princi-
pal each year-and the American
Legion boys who GOT their flags"
from home while in France would
enjoy paying for them here and thus
help make up for the school funds
what taxes it takes for the bonus.
Another big source of revenue may
possibly be tapped in the five cents
per 500 of capital tax on corpora
tons in this state. Numerous other
possibilities of additional revenue
are attracting the attention of solons
at this time.

WE NOW HAVE SPRING
Monday Was Last Day of Winter,
and Though Colder Than Last
Week, Sun Is Warm.

Monday was the last day of win
ter and the sun, officially inaugur-
ating spring for the northern hemis-
phere, crossed the celestial equator
at the vernal point.
Springlike weather has prevailed
in Iowa during a great part of the
winter, however, the month of Feb
ruary being one of the most remark
able in the annals of the weather
bureau here.
The average temperature for the
winter months in Iowa was 2S.6 de-
grees above zero, the warmest being
rs degrees above at Pella on Febru-
airy Is, and the coolest &c degrees
below at Inwood. December "a. The
minimum temperature recorded in
February was 3 degrees below zero.
which sets the month apart from
other years, when the mercury has
fallen from 10 TO 90 degrees lower
than this mark.
The average of 2S.6 degrees above
zero is % degree higher than asy
average temperature recorded in
the 81 years existence OF the Des
Moines weather bureau. The next
warmest winter was in lslS-lS,
when the average temperature was
ISL degrees above. In the winter
of 1907-0S, however, this average
temperature was approached with
the mark of 26 degrees as an aver
age.
Iowa's coolest winter on record
was in 1929, when the average
temperature was 1919 degrees above
zero. In 4, that winter the warmest
weather recorded was 6S degrees
above, the lowest being "a degrees
below. Next approaching this was
the winter Bof 1917-1S, the average
being 1874 degrees above, the cold
est 40 degrees below and the warm
est 70 degrees above.
January IL, 1912, the lowest
mark known in Iowa was recorded
at Washta, which place also exper-
fenced the low mark of 40 degrees
below zero on December 20, 1917.
Precipitation has been normal in
Iowa during the winter. The aver
age precipitation was 2.44 inches,
with average snowfall of IS inches.
In the winter of 1906-07 the av-
erage snowfall was IL inches, the
lowest average recorded. In the
winter of 1904-05 and average
snowfall of 389 inches, the high
est on record, was recorded.

BUSINESS NOW
RUSHING SOLONS
APPROPRIATIONS CUT, WHILE
SOLDIERS BONUS BILL GOES
THROUGH CLEAN.
(By G. L. Caswell)

(By G. l.. CaswelD
Des Moines, Marcn %, 1921.
Adjournment of the General AS
sembly on April Sth is probable, as
both House and Senate'have adopted
the resolution setting that date for
the end of the session. However, a
motion to reconsider the vote on the
resolution is on the records and the
date can thus be held open for max
ing any necessary change. The dope
is that sixty members of the house
have agreed to support a resolution
requesting che governor to call the
special session for finishing up Code
revision to begin the latter part Of
next November. 1t is said the farm
er members of the house do not pro-
pose to let the lawyers and bankers
and other interests whose slack time
is in the summer months keep them
here during their own busy season,
hence the late date set for the spe-
cial session.
To keep faith with their constitu-
ents whom they promised in the last
campaign they would serve by keep
ing down state appropriations and
extraVagancies, members of the
mousse ldSL wednesday cut the near l
out of the state fair appropriation
bill, and left the state fair board to
hobble along for the next two years
on what the fair can take in of itself.
The necessary paving and some land
purchases will be taken care of and
that is all. The balance to be paid
on the big new cattle barn will stand
against the profits of the last fair.
And what has happened TO the fair
board will happen to. many other
boards and departments, it is said.
Possibly even to the state education
al institutions. The idea of making
q record in legislation by heading off
half a mill of appropriations may
look all right, but after all it is the
twenty and forty and fifty mill levies
out at their homes that makes the
members taxes high. All the state
appropriations asked for together
would probably not cause an in
crease of three mills in the state tax
levy, as one mill levy now raises
over a million dollars for state pur-
poses-and there are numerous 9TH
er sources of revenue which the state
draws upon for funds to keep things

WILL EXHIBIT SILVER CUP

The National Tuberculosis Asso-
citation gave silver cup to the chill
dren Of Iowa for the best showing in
the health crusade which was con-
Quoted during 1920. DR.. Brooks, Of
this city, was in Des Moines a few
days ago and saw the cup in the Of
flee of the state association where
il was in the care of Miss Theresa
Danshill who was at the head of the
health crusade in this state. The
doctor admired the cup greatly but
suggested that inasmuch as it be-
longed to the children of the state
they would get little satisfaction
out Of it while it remained in the
city office. He suggested that the
cup be sent from place to place that
1t might be seen by the people of the
state. His suggestion was acted up
on favorably and it was agreed that
the silver cup would be sent to
Audubon this week. II will be on
exhibition in the public schools un-
til next Saturday when it will be put
on display in one of the store win
dows. Later il will be sent to Extra
for exhibition. DR.. Brooks is much
pleased to have it here and will see
that the rural children have the
same privilege of seeing the cup that
has been given to the town children.

When Representative Fred McCul-
Tough of Iowa county introduced

fight that promises to equal high

McCulloch is one OF the progressive
scientific farmers who carries off
the principal prizes in live stock
and corn. He is an authority on ag-
ricultural matters and an agrees
sive friend of the state fair. But
he declares the state board is not

BOYS SUGGESTION ALL RIGHT
Thirteen-Year-Old Had Remembered
What He Had Been Taught
About Electricity.

The family washing was going
through its regular Monday electric
washer route. Incidentally the base
ment was damp, because there had
been no furnace fire.
When the lady of the house started
to wiring the clothes she found an
electric current in the water, due to
short circuit in the motor. After
several attempts to wiring the clothes
before the current got in it's work,
she was about ready to give up and
wiring them by hand.
"Shucks, mom," said thirteen-year-
old Harry, who knows all about Edi-
son and Franklin, "Ill bet If you put
on your rubbers, so the current can't
go on out Of your body you won't get
"a shock at ALL"
And when "mom" tried the sugges-
ton she found the embryo electrician
knew what he was talking about, for
she worked in safety while wringing

Taking EatoniC for
Sour Stomach

II had sour stomach ever since had

Have taken Eatonic only a week and
am much better. Am so years DID,"
says Mrs. John Hill.
Eatonic quickly relieves sour stom-
ach, indigestion, heartburn, bloating
and distress after eating because 1t
takes up and carries out the excess
acidity and gases which cause most
stomach ailments. If you have tried
everything and still suffer, do not give
up hope. Eatonic has brought relief to
tens of thousands like you. A big box
costs but a trifle with your druggists
guarantee.
