each week the country newspapers from all over
the country. There is not paper of any con-
sequence in our trade territory that our bureau
does not get. This bureau looks over these papers
and when we find a town where the merchants are
not advertising in the local paper we Immediately

Life is sweet. Scientists say that man some
day will live to an average age of at least $50
years. No doubt they think that is good news.
But is it? Much as you love life, would you care
to live to $50? If so, how about 200, 800 or 1000
Most old folks who live beyond 60 go to death
with smile on their lips. They have tasted life
in all its forms Wearied, they yearn for the
hereafter. At what age does the vaudeville show
called life become monotonous? Talk it over with
grandpa.

East Relief. Consular representa-
tives left the country. All foreigners
piled onto ships and fed. War
threatened to scatter the work and
render vain the long, patient efforts
of the Near East Relief to salvage
a whole nations children.
But the American men and women
who had cared for these little ones
were undismayed. They refused to
leave under bombardment, with
hostile armies sweeping through the
streets where the Near East Relief's
great orphanages had been estab-
lished. with all supplies cut off and
no communication with the outside
world, or with that far American
homeland whose representatives
these heroic men and women are,
they stuck to their posts. The last
food from America had come in on
November 6, 1920.
1t was not until four months later
that the new governments of the
Transcaucasian states were estab-
lished on solid basis. But famine
threatened. An appeal was made to
American philanthropy: Critical
need for food products in Caucasus"
the cable read. mo limit to need in
Armenia. New government promises
better facilities for relief activity
than former government" A few
days later, further piteous plea fol-
lowed: Total orphans in Alexandra
pol $4,000. Supplies in Alexandra
pol allow half-rations, April 3rd to
both. After May LIST, nothing"
But this splendid American relief
organization had not waited. Food
was already on the way. On April
%, Charles V. Vickrey, general sec
rotary of the Near East Relief,
cabled: Expect ship first week in
May: 1000 tons rice; 1000 tons
wheat -four; 600 tons cornmeal, corn
-four, hominy; 80 tons sugar; 500

The seven American relief workers
in charge of the $4,000 little ones in
Alexandropol cabled a last appeal:
mo food at any price Four days
more and we are finished" But
when the first relief ship Que
quen" entered the deserted harbor of
Batum on May 1, there were Just ten
bags of flour left. The food ship had
come in time. America had saved
the day-and the $4,000 little or
phan children, who had suffered so
much and lost so much in their short.
war-clouded lives, never knew that
gaunt hunger in the robes of death
had knocked at the door of the or
phanage at acknowledgement that
America had thrust the bony hand
away.
at is the great heart of America
that made this work of salvation pos
sible," Mr.. Vickrey declared. THE
money that sends the bread to these
children comes from ten million
homes throughout the United States.
1t comes from the hearts of the most
generous people in the world, who
cannot bear to know that half
world away, little children are facing
hunger and death, without helping
them to life and happiness.

going. Contributions may be sent to

CULTIVATION is IMPORTANT
OF Great Benefit to Raspberries and

Intensive cultivation Of berries will

which ripen at the time of year when
there IS often drought. Commence

materially iniuring the plant. The
berry patch should be p'owed as soon
as the land is dry enough TO work. An
tillage should be shallow. Continued
cultivation will insure large berries
even II the season is dry. A cover
crop should be sowed in the fall to
protect the ground during the winter
season. A straw mulch will take the
place of cultivation, in conserving
moisture.
