More than ten thousand Armenian girls have been rescued from Turkish harems through the help and gener- osity of America. This is the state ment given out by the Near East Re lief, which is making the saving of these tragic victims of Turkish cruelty one of the most important features of it's work.
 That It Is work which In itself justifies the millions that America has spent in this stricken land is testified to by little Miss Eliza Dodurian, a twenty-year-old Armenian girl recent ly arrived in this country.

WEATHER OF 1920
 UNUSUALLY MILD AVERAGE ABOUT NORMAL Extreme Variation of Temperature During Year Exceptionally Small
 Almost No Snow

The outstanding features of the weather at Conway during the year 1920 was that no remarkable phenom- ena were recorded, that temperature extremes were unusually mild and precipitation only slightly above nor mai. These facts are gleaned from an interesting report prepared for the Log Cabin Democrat by Prof. E. E. Cordrey of the State Normal, local observers for the United States weather bureau.
 The absence of extreme cold or ex- treme hot weather was exceptional last year. The coldest day was De- eember 28, when temperature of 15 above zero was recorded, and the hot test was July 8, when the mercury chmbed to 100. This is an absolute range of only 85 degrees. Contrast this with the year 1918, when the lowest temperature recorded was 13 degrees below zero and the highest 113 above, an absolute range of 126 degrees, or Al degrees greater ex- freme variation that occurred in 1920. In 1919 the absolute range was 96 de- grees.
 The almost complete absence of snow during the entire year was note worthy. A trace, too small for meas urement, which occurred on Decem- OCT 22, was the only snow which fell in 1920. The average annual snowfall in Conway is 62 inches.
 The last killing frost of spring oc cured on April ? and the first of the autumn on November 13. This gave

 NEAR EAST RELIEF

During the Peace Conference in Par. Is the American Commission to Nego. tiate Peace, appreciating the impor- tance of accurate, first hand lnforma- tion about the Armenian situation, sent Capt Benjamin Burges Moore of the American Red Cross as head of a spe- cial mission to study and report of conditions. Captain Moore's findings as to the value of the work done by the Near East Relief form part of his off, cial report.
 "Armenians are sincerely grateful to us,' Captain Moore states, since 1t is no exaggeration to say that they would have disappeared as a nation had it not been for this splendid help given them by the Near East Relief and he American Food Administration. The best that sympathetic Americans can do is to continue and enlarge the pres ent admirable work of the Near East Relief"

itSti Ehulilll al Mark L. Bristol U. S. Navy, High Commissioner to Turkey, who has charge of all American interests in the Near East, went on record wholeh heartedly in support of the American relief organization.
 If l have been able to encour. age the workers of the Near East Relief or give them assistance in any way" the Admiral said, T feel that l am more than repaid In keeping with the success that has attended the efforts of the Near East Relief Committee in this part of the world in the past. I hope the future will bring you greater success. It will always give me pleasure to render any assistance possible to the Committee as a whole, to any of the workers, and to the great work of humanity that the committee represents.
 When 139,00O Russian refugees from the Crimea arrived off Con- stantinople, Admiral Bristol imme- diately cabled the Near East Re- lief for help, and the Near East Relief bakeries fed these refugees and N. E. R. workers helped the American sailors to get the sick to hospitals.
 Admiral Bristol Is in intimate touch with all the work being con- ducted by the Near East Relief and speaks from personal knowl- edge of its accomplishments.

merely pass the resolution. They ap-

/ Therefore, no attempt was made, as it
was toward the end of a long session
when the matter was brought up, to

Moreover, it does not seem that

that Americas methods, resulting in
such efficiency, should be followed by
the Russian peasantry
After the condescending attitude
taken by Russia in accepting our Of
fer of relief, and after the stipulation
the Russians insisted upon, namely
that they should have the manage
ment of this relief, it is good to see
the recognition by the leader of the
famine relief committee of the eff
1ciency of our methods.
1t is submitted in this connection
that we have had more practical ex-

long distance than has any other ma

UNSOLICITED ADVICE.

The resolution for the two-platoon
system is dead Those who believe
in keeping a moral obligation are
sorry and many others are sorry.
But those who believe in keeping
that obligation should not force the
people to do it unless they want to.
The two platoon system was promis-
ed by the city about five months
ago-promised without proviso-and
promised no matter what should hap
pen to the city in the meantime. Let
the people of the city and the repre-
sentatives of the city decide whether
or not they will want to keep that
promise.
The matter is not one for decision
by the courts.
Most of us wanted the matter of
transportation left to us. We are the
ones who ride-we are the ones most
affected. Our representatives in the
legislature knew the sentiment of the
people. They knew that our people
did not want them over in Hartford
to tell us how and where we might
ride" They tried to bring it about SO
that we should be the judges.
Similarly why should the people
here want judges to tell us what sort
of a fire system we should have. Let
the people decide again, in the light
of all the knowledge the people now
have on the situation. Let the mayor
watch.
If we want to fulfill our promise
let the City Council pass another reso
luton for the two-platoon system; lie
our city meeting board approve; thel
let the mayor see if he wants agai1
to veto the resolution in the face o
these actions. Let the voice of tn
people be heard again, and avoi

This remark of NJ. Kalinin will do
much to help the cause. One who has
followed helpful work in this coun-
try, such as that done by the Red
Cross, cannot but know how efficient
iy the work will be done in Russia,
as the people know already how thor

SOME SENTIMENT.

While experts are trying to explain
why the Yankees have beaten the
Giants in the first two games of the
series, an action has been taken that
shows sentiment survives in at least
some of the magnates Of the game
Jim Mutrie, who christened the
Giants, and who was manager for
years, has been placed on the pay
roll of that club for life He is to
get $25 a week as long as he lives
One who was interested in profess
sional baseball in the nineties, has
probably seen Mutrie about the old
Polo Grounds at 10th street, near
Central Park. Entirely from memory
one sees him, big cigar in his mouth,
wearing a long frock coat, high hat
and his upper lip adorned with a
long mustache. The red at the tip
of his nose was quite natural there
being no eighteenth amendment at
that time; and it was said that "Jim'
had every reason for possessing that
adornment.
Mutries very life seemed in the
game, and as a bench manager, never
as a player, was he known. He has
been seen to send a pitcher out back
of the stands-not far away as is
the custom at present-to warm uI
the moment the Giants opponents be-
gan to hit the ball hard, no matter
whether hey were making safe hits
or not. He looked more like the man
ager of a successful circus than the
manager of a ball team, though he
knew the game and the players thor
oughly.
They were not as strict in thos,
days as at present. and one may i'm
agine Jim sitting happily over a glas
of beer when the team was going well
with one of his players
He helped to start the great gam
on the plan it is now run. The Giant
were not always near the top unde
his management, but the game wa
there and Mutrie was there.
So it does seem to be a hit of co
incidence, that the benefit shoul
come to him at this lime when hi
Giants are battling. playing almost
