MANY ATTEND
FUNERAL OF
GRAND VIZIER

Berlin, April 1.-Mohammedans
from every important Islamic country
attended the funeral of Talaat Pasha,
the former Turkish GRANDMOTHER, who
was assassinated in Berlin by Solomon
Teilurian, q young Armenian. who de-
clares his act avenges the death of
his parents and hundreds of thou
sands of other Armenians who died as
a result of the deportations and mas
sacres ordered by Talaat Pasha. ~.
Bitterly as most of the. Christian
world has reviled Talaat and his poll
cy of discriminating the Armenians in
Asia Minor. Islam gave him a clear
title to immortality.
The funeral Of the Turk, who rose
from the position of mail carrier to
grand vizier and was even a more i'm
portant figure than the sultan in Con-
stantinople during the war, was held
in his apartment in the west end of
Berlin. where he had been living un-
der an assumed name for two years.
After the ceremony at the house his
mummified body was taken to a. Gem
etery where another service was held
before the body was placed in a vault
to await final inferment in Turkey.
Egyptians, Turks, KuAds, Persians,
Azerbaijanese. Aghans and Arabs, all
wearing their native costumes and
the feZ wrapped in a scarf indicating
that they had been to Mecca, grouped
about the coffin while the hodja Of
the turkish embassy sang the Mo-
hammedan prayer cry. Allah Akbar''
Good is good!"), Then the hodja
read the prayer for the, dead and
held the strange Mohammedant cere-
mony of the death tribunal.
"Mehmed Talaat Pasha, who lies
before you was a man of high virtue,
a servant of God, Is there anyone
among,ithis assembly who denies it?''
the hoqja demanded.
In chorus the strange circle of be-
LEVERS answered mo. No. No" The
hodja then pronounced Mehmed Ia
laat great, and pure" and delivered
a long funeral Grafton.
At the cemetery there was another
ceremony. The hodja again called for
an acknowledgment of Mehmed Ia

in chorus. Eulogies were then pro-
nounced by the Turkish poet. Abdul

and if they are good, if they win rib
bon, he is going to have you in mind
when he wants to add to his herd.
We know that the various exhibit
tons have been tremendous help to
the development of the cattle industry.
Large sums of money are spent an
nually for prizes and expenses in the
showing of cattle, and we must admit
that it is a profitable business as
every successful breeder makes it
practice to show other breeders what
he has got, which assures us that it
is the best advertising medium we
have. And in order to- keep up with
the times we must let the other fellow
know what we have and give him the
chance to see them. Success is not
easily won and the breeder who makes
it practice to exhibit will find he has
a big advantage in his favor.
The man that is fortunate enou gh
to carry away the awards is the one
that can fix his own price.
because he has proven that his cattle
are just a little bit better than the
others.
So it is up to you, Mr.. Farmer, to
take advantage of your county fair.
Start in this year and make it a prac
tlce to show your cattle, show the
Lest you have, and by doing so a bet
ter interest will be developed. You
will then be at the fair and look over
every animal. Take notice of the
good points of each-it will pay you
well, both in satisfaction and the ideas
that you can acquire, besides a de-
termined effort to carry out those
ideas. 1t will convince you that bet
ter selection, better care and better
feeding will give you wonderful re-
suits over the ordinary way Of raising
cattle.
There are many good prizes offered
to help you offset the cost of exhibiting
over 81, 800 in the cattle department
alone, 81 loo! of which is in first prizes.
This, combined with the advertising
it is sure to give your herd should
make it we'll worth while to show your
cattle.
So you had better brush up a few
of your best individuals, give them
good care and give them a chance to
show their good points and they will
be sure to give you good returns.
I will be at the fair grounds every
day and will be willing to help you
in anything that I can. Let us make
the cattle department Of the Mile
Laos county fair the best one there,
and help boost the different breeds.

FOOlprOOf Feet.

The human foot is one Of the most
beautiful and useful instruments ever
conceived, but, unfortunately, it is not
what motorist calls "foolproof."
There is a great deal of misunder-
standing about our feet. We treat
them outrageously, as either custom
or fashion may indicate. AS a result
about one-third Of the population is
splayfooted, another third walks like
a hen on hot cinders and the remain
ing third may be said to walk fairly
natural.
The foot has graceful arch run
ming fore and aft. We take this longi-
tudinal arch, turn the toes outward so
that the heels meet at an angle of
45 degrees, and then put all our pres
sure in skew direction across the
arch. No railway engineer would
dream of building a straight arch
bridge to cary loads neither across nor
along the arch, but irregularly askew
over it.
We ought to walk with our great
toe pointed straight in the direction of
progress, as Indian runners do, and
"spring from the great toe" Instead
most Of us "take off" in a numbering
sort of way from the ball Of the great
toe.
The arch of the foot is supported
largely by the tendon which runs un-
der the foot to the great toe itself
and this neglect Of use renders this
tendon weak and lax and causes de-
preston Of the arch. The best cure for
weak arch is the practice Of raising
ones self upon the greats toe, that is
doing as penalty exercise what you

in Canada tests we're made to de-
termine which was the cheaper
tractors, steam engines or horse pow
er. In doing this the; land was not
sighted as new worlds record was
set in the production Of small grains.
The larger type Of tractors
and the 32-H. P. steam engines were
used. The teams consisted of eight
horses hitched abreast. Each pulled
three 8-foot discs with harrows be-
hind The actual cost of working
down the ground was as follows:
Gas tractor, per hour...........70 cents
Steam engine, per hour.........60 cents
Horses, per hour. cents
This test would indicate that the
horse is at present the cheapest and
most efficient power we nave.
Statistics show that we should
raise more horses. According to the
late census, the United States has
more than twice as many horses as
Great Britain, Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, France, Germany, Italy and
Switzerland. Still the market for our
horses all over the world is so great
that we cannot begin to supply the
demand. We had in the army in our
own use III the world war almost 2OO,-
900 head of horses of which none were
returned. That is one cause for the
shortage Of horses at the present time.
Moreover We almost stopped raising
colts the last three years. The census
shows that in eight of the eastern
states there is shortage of 100000
horses; in Ohio, 77,000; in Illinois,
$4,000 and so on in nearly all the
states. Some persons may question
these facts because horses are now so
cheap. Just wait until the financial
condition changes and money is not
moving 80 slowly and you will see how
! horses will sell. Germany alone is
short 100000 horses. AS soon as
her credit is good, she will come here
to buy. 1t is up to each one of US
to go back to raising colts again, be-
cause there will be a great demand
for them in the next few years.
The first pure-bred horses were
brought to this country in 1850, Per-
cheron and Belgium. The Percheron
leads the list today as being the most
typical horse. The horse industry has
increased" until today there are over
FL 100000 head of horses valued at
$2,000,o0o,000.
In exhibiting our horses at the Mile
Laos county fair we will create mar
ket for them and awaken interest in
the horse industry. Then liberal pre-
mlums are offered on the horses, about
$500, and one may secure from $40 to
SIS on a good individual. There are
about 60 different classes you can
show in. If you have a good colt,
horse, mare, team or sire of any kind,
display it at the fair as you can surely
show in one of the classes. 1 will be
on the grounds every day Of the fair
and will be glad to assist youth every
way in the horse department.

are entered at the fair as ample space
has been provided for them in the
cattle barn.
Sam Droogsma Of Pease will exhibit
his flock Of registered Shropshires and
the superintendent expects to have en-
tries in every class.
Mr.. Droogsma, when interviewed in
regard to the industry of raising and
breeding sheep, made the following
comments:
''Sheep raising until the last two
years has been profitable business, but
just at present it is passing through a
dull period as are so many of our in
dustries. Live stock breeders as we'll
as other business men,, feel the effects
of the present money shortage. How
ever, now is the time for man to be-
gin, when the market price is down.
ut is we'll to have a few sheep on
nearly any farm that has some land
enclosed with woven wire fence, the
barbed wire FENCE is a real wool thief
On such farms as s1hany of those in
the vicinity Of Pease and in the north
end of the county a flock of sheep
could be put to good use as land
clearers. By placing flock of 20 or
80 sheep in pasture where they
wo,111 not havo +oo ro,,oh rooro tho
weeds and small brush would soon be
cleared out. By changing the sheep
from one pasture to another, a good
sized piece of land can thus be cleared.
The sheep might not take on any great
amount of flesh, but they would be
saving the men on the farm consid-
cradle amount of hard work.
ut is not advisable to keep the
sheep and cows together in the same
pasture as is often done on the farms
that have been cleared. The sheep
prefer the best grazing and they will
take the clover away from the cows.
''The Shropshire and Hampshire
are, in my judgment, the best breeds
of sheep to keep in this northern eli
mate. The wool on these breeds is
close where you will find it open on
the Lincoln, Cotswold and other
strains. This is important because in
this section of the country the mer-
curry sometimes drops pretty low in
the winter and sheep with nice tight
fleece of wool can stand the cold. Then
you can keep them cleaner because
the fleece is, close and does
not hold the hay and straw as does
the long wool on some of the other
breeds. The fleece Of the Shropshire
is so thick and tight that it forms a
first class rain coat When it is rain
ing, you will see the Shropshires stand
ing with straight back while the
sheep of the long wool breeds will be
bent over. The Shropshires and
! Hampshires give good fleece. of wool
and also good leg Of mutton. They
are easy to keep and are good workers
The Southdown has nice tight fleece
out it is down, as the name suggests,
The Lincoln and Cotswold are among
the bigger breeds, but they are the
open fleeced sheep and do not seem to
be so we'll adapted to our climate"
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1921-08-18

should have done all along naturally.
If you will try when walking to keep
the feet straight and to end each
stride with a little ''*spring" off each
big toe alternately, you will be re-
warded by finding that progress seems
easier, quicker and more buoyant.-
