important discovery was made by the
Supervisor of Statistics in course Of
I research work. A year ago this State
Department discovered that Missouri
was the Heading late watermelon
producing state" and when that fact
was given publicity the laudatory
comment which followed was nation
wide. Now comes this new honor.
MissOuri's Strawberry Belt.
Missouri is credited with shipping
in June, last, from its commercial
strawberry belt, chiefly that portion
of the state surrounding Springfield
and Joplin and from these cities south
to the Arkansas line, 1856 cars Of
the luscious fruit. The 1921 ship
ments, the same portion of Missouri
only totaled 455 cars, but the crop that
year, owing to a very unfayorable
spring, was short. That year Mis-
souri, ranged eighth in strawberries
shipped. The increase in shipments,
1922 over 1921, was fully 300 per
cent.
The emily states which exceeded
Missouri in strawberry shipments
during the season of 1929, are Tennes-
see, 3,172 cars, and Arkansas, 2,069
cars. States such as Louisiana, Flor
ida, Alabama, Mississippi, the two
Carolinas, Georgia, which for years
ranked high as strawberry producing

ANNUAL SOUTHEAST MIS-
SOURI, ASSOCIATION PICNIC

Elaborate plans are being made for
this years Southeast Missouri Asso-
citation Picnic, Saturday, August s,
at Picnic Ground No. 7, in Forest
Park.
Charles M. Hay, president of the
Association, has appointed the neces-
sary committees with an eye to the
peculiar fitness of the members of the
committees for their respective jobs.
/. r. Kelso and w. W. Nall, famous
through all Missouri, for their taste
for watermelon, compose special
committee to provide watermelon
feast that would make the blacklist
darkey green with envy. Judge Jas.
F. Green, celebrated banjo and old
time fiddling expert, heads the music
committee. Chester ]. Prince and DR..
Walter Harral, both eminently sue
cessful in their own respective spheres
have charge of the finances.
The picnic will begin at 2:30 p. M,
reach it's climax with a basket din
ner at 6 p. M, and end at 10 p. M,
with the singing of Aud Lang Syne.
All residents of st. Louis and vicin-
ity who have ever lived in any of the
Southeast Missouri counties, or who
have married or courted in Southeast
Missouri, or who have ever owned q
cat or dog that came from Southeast
Missouri, will be welcomed to this fro
lie and reunion. The former picnics
have been the occasion of many happy
meetings of old friends. 1t is hoped
that the picnic this year will be the
largest and jolliest ever. Help us
make it so.
Remember the time and place.

states, chiefly for the reason that they
are more favorably situated, this year
take back seat. The 1922 strawber-
ry shipments of Missouri exceeded by
80 cars those of Alabama, Mississippi,
Kentucky, Illinois and New Jersey,
which, combined, only totaled 1882
cars.
Missouri May Rank Second.
The Missouri 1922 shipment figures,
like those of the other leading straw
berry producing states, close with
June 10. 1t is estimated that after
that day 300 more cars were shipped,
fact which may give the "Show-
Me" state second place instead of
third, when Uncle Sam officially pro-
mulgates his final findings. The
strawberry shipping season of Ar
kansas closes ten to twelve days
ahead of that of Missouri. If the
shipments up to June Is of Arkansas
are final and Missouri shipments after
that day exceeded 213 cars, the pres
ent difference, second honors, will be
transferred to the Poultry Queen Of
tho Union"
In 1921 Missouri was surpassed in
strawberry shipments by Louisiana,
North Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee,
Virginia, Maryland and Delaware
For 1922 Missouri forged ahead of
Louisiana, North Carolina, Virginia,
Maryland and Delaware.
Half of the Crop Stays at Home.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture in its first returns on the
strawberry shipments of 1922 only
considered fourteen states as the chief
producers. The shipments of all other
thirty-four states up to June Is to-
tailed LOAF cars. Such being the case,
the Missouri 1922 Shipments, 1856
cars--top this aggregate total by 800
cars.
The vast quantity of Strawberries
produced by Missouri's ia counties
which were not shipped out, but, in
stead, hauled by the growers in wag-
ons, automobiles and other convey
ances to the nearest local consuming
market, fully equalling the annual
shipments Of 1921 and 1922, are not
included in the shipment figures.
Neither is the vast quantity of ber-
ries farmers wives turned into jellies,
preserves, strawberry short cake and
other tempting dainties for home use
and to be sent to close relatives.
Strawberry Producing Counties.
The latest year that complete Of
fetal strawberry yield figures are
available for all of Missouri's counties
is 1919. The state crop that year was
1856, 820 quarts, the yield of 8,645
acres. Barry county that year pro-
duced 2, 522,885 quarts; Mcdonald
county, 1,250,251 quarts; Christian

Painted by the Great French Master, Gerome.

Arriving on the scene, Mrs. Mitchell on
countered tragic and pathetic spectacle
Herded together In "A wooden building with
an earthen floor scarcely more than

whom themselves hated Christians and
who could scarcely be depended upon 20
risk their own lives to defend these de
spsed enemy Greeks against a mob.
Mrs. Mitchell found the military officer
In charge, told him all she had heard, and
demanded that the girls Immediately be
taken to some place where they could be
put under adequate American or Allied
DrC lection.
Ihe officer demurred, but made little
real protest. Perhaps he foresaw trouble
and difficulty for himself and was at heart
willing enough to be relieved of the re-
sponsiblity. At any rate, after a short
conference, she marshalled the girls to-
gether, and marching herself at the head
Of them, with the American flag held high
above her head, took them boldly through
the streets OF the Stamboul area OF Con
stantiuople to the American Ministry.
There were mutterings In the crowds
along the street. but Mrs, Mitchell made II
plain by her attitude that they would have
to trample her and the flag before they
could touch one OF the girls, and this, In
broad daylight. was more than they dared.
The strange procession arrived safely
at the American Ministry, but Mrs. Nit
chell's greatest difficulties still lay before
her.
The Ministry is not a large building.
In fact, II Is very small. There was no
room for FIVE hundred girl refugees. They
were safe enough in broad daylight, even
herded together In the public street. under
the actual shadow OF the Ministry and un-
der its official protection. but they would
not be safe there at night, and in q few
hours darkness would be coming on.

The careful precautions proved 10 have

It had come. under cover OF tho night,

r row Mrs. Ira Mitchell, heroic Amer
II ican woman missionary, saved five
hundred Christian girls from slaW
cry and death by defying all night long
mob Of the worst Turkish riff-raff in Stam
boul Is told in a confidential report Just
received from Constantinople.
Mrs. Mitchell, matron of mission In
the Turkish district OF the city, was awak
ened one morning by terror-stricken
Greek convert, who told her that a cara
van of his countrywomen, refugees from
Smyrna, after that city was burned, had
Just been brought TO COnstantinOple under
Turkish protection; that crowd OF the
worst element in the Stamboul section
was threatening them, and that he doubted
whether the small Turkish guard could or
would be willing 10 fire on their own coun-
trymen TO protect the girls.
There were no American men at the
mission house Mrs Mitchell, a frail,
gTay.haired woman decided courageously
to act on her own initiative. She dressed
hastily and went 20 the American Hlgh
Commissioner. He could furnish her WIN
no guards or armed protection, put ne
agreed to send a formal represehtatlVe
with her and TO lend her the tull packing
and prestige Of his diplomatic authority
With a small American flag pinned on
her dress and another IN her hand accom-
panied by one unarmed man and wlthout
other escort OF any kind Mrs. Mitche'i
went bravely into the worst district OF
the native quarter OF the city.
On her way she learned that most OF
the five hundred women refugees were
young girls, many beautiful, and that d
crowd Of the worst fanatical Turks, hang'
ers-on and scum Of the army, were gain
erinR together adherents among the ma
tives. and demanding that the girls De

be kept for their own disposal
They were threatening that If the Turk

in which the refugees were confined ana

A Spanish shawl caused senSa-

q short time.
II was a signal that Geraldine Far

audience at the Murat yesterday aft

peared, recognized that Farrar was
singing in excellent voice. Techni-
cally she was nearly perfect, but
somehow or other one had the feel
ing that everybody was waiting for
the grand thrill. II came when she
wrapped a Spanish shawl around her

jumped and applauded at the signal.

number was the dramatic sensation
Of her program. It was the grand
moment.

to the third and last group Of songs.
She answered the applause swamped
in a magnificent fur coat. The coat

was leaving the theater. The audi
ence applauded like mad but the
