HARDING PLEADSFOR.
STARVING In CHINA

Do All In Their Power to
Aid Victims.

Great Relief Accomplished, but

Presidents Appeal.
MUCH GIVEN; NEED MORE

WASHINGTON, March 12.-An appeal
to the American people TO "do everything
in their power toward the relief Of
famine conditions in China was issued
to-day by President Harding, who de-
clared that although the nation already
had given literally TO the relief commit
tee the fund still was entirely inadequate
for the task.
AT this, the earliest practicable mo-
ment OF my Administration" said the
Presidents statement, 'I desire to add
my own to the many appeals which have
been issued heretofore in behalf Of the
China.
Il am informed that the American
committee. the church and other organ
izations cooperating with il, have al
ready remitted several millions Of dol
lars to the American and international
relief committees in China, and that q
great relief work has been accomplished.
Nevertheless, my Information is that the
means thus far placed at the command
of these organizations are entirely In
adequate to the task they confront.
Since the beginning of this relief
movement much more accurate under
standing of the grave situation has
become possible. The Department Of
State has from time to time made
public informet tion received through
its representatives in China as to the
conditions prevailing there The pic
ture of China's distress is 50 tragic
that I am moved. therefore. to renew
the appeals heretofore made and to ex-
press the hope that the American peo-
pie will continue to contribute to this

American nation has never failed to
demonstrate its friendship for the peo-

WHY THE PACKER
LIKES THE DUROC

This subject covers large terri
tory, but briefly summarized it is
this:
Speaking briefly the packer wants
a hog that will dress large per cent
meat and little lard. He knows
that the Duroc has been scientific
ally bred to strictly big type. and
big type means to him good ham,
long strip of breakfast bacon.
streaked sides, and a shoulder that
can be converted nicely into what
he ,pleases to call ."pickeled hams
The following excerpts are. from
reliable reporters at the various
stock yards in the U. S. JAS M.
Carroll, U. S. Yards, Chicago-"The
Duroc is the packers ideal. The
type is what tells in the Duroc. The
improved type Of this breed has been
shown by figures to produce the larg-
est percentage of higher priced cuts
than any other breed.
The Duroc produces large well
shaped ham that forms thirteen peer
cent of the carcass.
Durocs yield good belly, they are
long but not wide, this gives the
breakfast bacon and twelve per ceent
of thee carcass.
The pork loin of the Duroc is long
and vel balanced and forms ten
per cent of the carcass.
The Duroc lacks the heavy should
ers and joints. This is in their favor
because they are the cheapest cuts. ="
E. R. Gentry, head hog buyer for
Armour & Co.,-"Today the Duroc
has the call and stock yard statis-
tics for the past year will show that
over fifty per cent of the receipts are
Durocs."
H. A. Parish. Union Stock Yards,
Omaha, Nebr.,-"The Duroc is in
the lead Based on the conservative
estimate of commission men, pack
ers and buyers, there are about two
Durocs to one of all other breeds. OF
the 3,170,116 hogs sold on the Omaha
market during 1919 over 100000
were Durocs."
j. G. Bayless, hog buyer for Morris
e. Co.. East ST. Louis-"l consider
this the best breed for all concerned.
About so or 65 per cent of the hogs
we buy are Durocs."

What was once known as little hamlet on

isolated village Of few old-time "kaffir-corn-
ers," but a real live, wide-awake town OF nearly

velopment. Pampa has never been doomed in

zenS who do not believe in the Spasmodic boom
but in an all-the-time progress for bigger and

distinction of being the largest wheat shipping
town in Texas 1t still enjoys that distinction
Statistics may be obtained from the official rec
ords of the Santa lie railway system in ANA
ro, to justify these statements. A compari-
son of the receipts OF wheat from this town and
all other towns of equal size on the entire Santa
&c system will reveal the fact that panlpa is
located in one OF the best whcat-growing sec
tions of the State of Texas. II has. therefore,

acres to prosperous town of 800 people
building new and substantial homes. good
churches, and at present handsome new
school building costing Sll5O0O. Located on
the main line of the Santa Fc from Chicago to
California. it enjoys the best railway facilities
afforded in the United States. A handsome and
modern depot OF solid brick and stucco is a re-
cent addition to Pampa, and is equipped
throughout with modern convenicnccs only

and oil stations are maintained here, and the
town is served by six regular passenger trains,
each of which stops to take on and discharge
passengers.
A new electric light plant has been installed
and the city is furnished with electric lights
