ciendo de las tres una sola, podria
llegarse un fin mas real no Sc
ria aventurado suponer que llegarian

pusieran perseguir. Es por este por
10 que ell "Club Latino Americana"
deseoso siempre de poner muy en- al
to su nOmbre y por 10 tanto todo 10
que sea portorriqueno, tomando la
iniciativa, decidiose a invitar las
demas 'sociedades porto3 3riqueiias a

una sola que lleve en- su nombre en-
vuelto ell de Puerto Rico, Y empezar
inmediatamente una intensa campana
para conseguir de llevar a la reali-

Sale of Club Pigs at Fair.

One of the features of the South
western Fair which will be held at
Lafayette October 81, will be a big
auction sale of club members pigs on
the closing date of the fair at 1 O'Clock
in the afternoon, according to M. M.
LaCroix, assistant in swine work, ex-
tension division of the state univer-
sity. Fifteen or more head of regis
tered hogs all raised by the boys and
girls who are members of the pig
clubs will be put up for auction. Much
interest has already been taken in the
venture by farmers and breeders of
the state and it is thought that all of
the pigs will be sold at fancy prices.
V. A. Guidroz, club agent of Lafay-
cite and F: M. Bacque, farm agent,
will have charge of the auction sale.

There is no reason why people hanol-

seems not to have realized 50 force
fully the need for educating the bllnd;
when as a matter Of TACT, there Is
much more need for their education.
The school for the blind at Baton

school furnishes board, tuition, lauh-
dry, and medical attention Tree OF
charge. The sessions run for elght
months in the year. Parents or guar
dians are expected to clothe their
children and keep them during the
vacation.
In order that no sightless child in
the state may be deprived of the ad-
vantages the state is offering in this
school, citizens are asked to send to
the superintendent Of the school the
names and actresses of all blind chill
dren in the community. And more than
this; in order that the people who
have had the training of the school
may make good, the citizens of the
state are requested to give them a
chance. In many cases it will be
found that these educated blind peo
pie will outstrip their more fortunate
friends who have their vision.
Every comfort to be desired is
given the children while they are in
the school, and no parent Of sight
less child should increase the child's

The management of the school will

TURKISH HORRORS.
Atrocities Perpetrated ON Helpless
Christians Told by Eye-Witnesses.

/ Now that Turkey is about to re-
gain its lost domain and return to a
power which it has so unWorthily ex-
ercised in the past. the world may ex.

repetitions of the horrors and atroci
ties perpetrated On Christians in the

Christians of Smyra are sample of
what might be expected. DR.. Esther
Lovejoy Of New York, president Of
the American Womens' Hospital who
recently returned from the stricken
city of Smyrna, declared that the
story of horror had only been partly
told She says "the cries of the Chris
ian refugees in that city for water
and food are met by a Turkish lash
"There are still several hundred
thousand Christians in Smyrna and
the interior, whose lives are in peril,
she said. ''The crowds on the quay
are SO great some of them are pushed
into the sea. Women stand waist |
deep in the water holding their ba-

Only when searchlights from the ships

they desist. The refugees are packed

"More than 100 mothers gave birth
to babies. Some were delivered while
standing. I attended many. Some fo
the infants died within a few hours
but mothers clung pitifully to the

PLANS RICE EXPANSION.
Holland to Stimulate Cultivation il
Her Indian Possessions.

Rice is the principal food of the
native population in the Dutch East
Indies, and its cultivation their main
occupation. Although large areas of
land are used for the cultivation of
rice, the Dutch Indian government
has to import large quantities because
the home crops are not sufficient for
the feeding of the 40,000,000 inhabi-
tants. In 1921 100000 tons were
sent from foreign. countries to the
Dutch Indies at an approximate value
Fifty per cent OF tie imported rice
went to Java, which has a population
of 35,00O,O00. This island is almost
exactly equal in area to the state of
New York, and is unusually thickly
populated. The other half went to
the so-caed "outer possessions, on
the east cast of Sumatra.
The Javanese are cultivating rice
according to the wet system {sawah) ,
and the less civilized inhabitants Of
the other islands, which in many re-
glons are semi-savage, practice the
dry method Qalang). The second
method much more primitive; it
yields less, and the rice it produces is
of an inferior quality.
Different methods have been tried
to stimulate home production. One
project is to increase the yield of
Java's present sawah PRODUCTION by
10 per cent, and the 100000 tons
needed would then be harvested.
One difficulty is to be found in the
character of the native. He does not
see the necessity of producing more
than his family and himself need.
Moreover, he has an innate aversion
to new methods, particularly in con-
nectlon with the cultivation of rice.
The Dutch Indian government came
to the conclusion that the solution
of the problem would be found in
cultivation on large scale with mod
ern machinery. The sawah rice, how
ever, has to remain three-quareres of
the time submerged in water. Plough.
ng and narrowing the slippery and
wet clay is very difficult, especially
With machinery which is indispensable
for large plantations.
