Our Daily Poem
THANATOPSIS.


To him who in the loce Of Nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she
speaks
A various language; for his gayer
hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a
smile
And eloquence of beauty. and she
glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware.
When thoughts
OF the last bitter hour come like
blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
OF the stern agony, and shroud. and
pail,
And breathless darkness, and the mar
row house,
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick
at heart
Go forth, under the open sky, and list
To Natures teachings, while from all
around
Earth and her waters, and the depths
OF air
Comes a still voice.
William Cullen BRYANT.

FLEE TURKS
Migration of Refugees May Com
pIete Catastrophe.

Athens-The Turk will enter Europe
on the heels of 100000 terror strick-
en- refugees-Greek and Armenian
Christians-who are fleeing westward
before the crescent and sword Of Is
lam. Five hundred thousand Of these
exiles already have arrived in Greece.
From the cities Of the Asia Minor
coast, where the deportations and
massacres still continue-from Con-
stantinople where the Europeans live
under the threat of an invasion-from
the Tracian plain where the word from
Paris struck terror to 25O,000 Chris
tians who know the Turk of old. Fran
tic rabies eff these refugees are
tareaming int Geeece.
The migration may complete the
catastrophe here. Greece-itself a ma
ton of 5000, OO0-does not have food,
accommodations or employment for
this horde. With winter approaching,
disease is prevalent in the crowded
concentration camps. The situation
has passed the phase where the gov
eminent can cope with it unaided.

MAY REWRITE 5-P0WER PACT
President Harding Sounds Out Britain
and France on Move.

! Observation-Disclosures officials
would not discuss reports emanating
from London and Paris that the Uni
ted States is sounding out European
powers on the proposition Of an inter
national land disarmament conference.
There were no denials of the re-
ports, however, and there is a well de-
fined belief here that the president
and Secretary G. r. Hughes r plano
ming to issue an invitation to the
powers for such a conference which
would be operated on lines similar to
the Washington conference last win
ter which resulted in the naval treaty
and the four power Pacific pact.
At that conference land disarma-
ment was included in the agenda, but
the time vas unpropitious for it's con-
%sideration. It was the general under
standing that a future conference
would be called when European ma
tons would be in a better position to
discuss land disarmament.
It was also disclosed that another
three power conference to review the
naval treaty is within. the range Of
possibility.

SAVE POTATO CROPS
Farm Experts Teach Pitting Method
to Potato Growers.

st. Paul-Potato growers in the nor

will be instructed in the best methods
Of pitting their potatoes, by county
agents Of potato growing communities
and by representatives Of the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota agricultural extern
sion department, according to plans
formulated at "a conference between
state agricultural officials and +. T..
Peck Of the 'U''' extension department.
The meeting was called by Hugh j..
Hughes, director Of markets, Depart
ment Of Agriculture, when it was de-
cided totsend a representative to the
various potato growing counties OF the
state and to obtain the cooperation
Of the county agents in advising with
the farmers the need Of pitting their
corn.
Lack OF proper railroad equipment
to handle the vast crop Of tubers
grown in the state this season, makes
it necessary for farmers to take some
means Of saving the potatoes from
the freezing weather which is expect
ed to arrive soon.

SECRET OF SUPERIOR FINISH
Animals Of improved Breeding Excel
In Feed Lot, at Market and on
Butchers Block.

Why are some feeders able to finish
their cattle more economically and
more rapidly than other feeders who
feed cattle Of the same age? Why do
some fat cattle top the market while
others sell a dollar, maybe three dol
lars, below the top. Why are a great
many consumers Of meat willing to
pay 35 cents a pound for prime beef
steak while they would reject inferior
steak at half that price?
Because animals Of better breeding
are, superior in the feed lot, at the
market, and on the butchers block.
why are wellbred animals superior?
Because they have been bred for per-
Torrance and have been selected ac-
cordingly for many generations. Have
not scrubs been bred for performance
Decidedly not. The breeders Of scrubs
have had no future In mind. They
have been bred for no definite improve
ment. Naturally then there are many
very undesirable qualities in every
scrub. a scrub bull will sire no two
calves alike. He tears down q herd
while a good purebred bull builds up .

). S. CHECKS FOREIGN LOANS
Leading Bankers Assert All Appeals
From Europe Referred to u. S.

New York-American bankers are
making no loans to foreign govern
ments or to European individuals or
concerns without the approval of the
United States government, where the
least suspicion exists that such loans
might be used either directly or indi-
rect1y for such purposes as might add
to the present unsettled economic or
political conditions in those countries,
leading New York bankers assert.
Their comments followed publication
of Washington dispatches announcing
that the making of such loans by
bankers of this country would be
frowned upon by the government
where it seemed the money might be
used for stirring up war.
An incident which it is believed in
duced the government at Washington
to remind American bankers that
they would incur its displeasure if
leans were made to foreign govern
ments or to private individuals which
might be secretly diverted to war pur-
poses, was the recent newspaper adj
vertisements announcing that the Ru-
manian government intends seeking
to float loan Of s40,000,00 in this
country.

Mr.. Chamberlain, as Unionist party
leader, would support his chief.
Mr.. Chamberlain took his stand in
favor Of the coalition on the ground
that the country faced a great national
danger in the Labor party.
