The police guard protecting members
Of the cabinet was doubled today In
the fear that Ivan Michailoff, leader

Macedonian revolutionary party

Sofia with mis- wild cohorts and muir

mated by letter.
The entire country was a~pprehen-
slve lest Bulgaria be plunged into
civil war If Michailoff became more
aggressive. A violent conflict be.

fore the club Of the agrarian party
last night added TO the fears Of the
people. Brisk fire was exchanged be-

rested many of the belIigerents.
Appeals III u. S.
Athanase Buroff. foreign minister.
IN a statement to the Associated
Press appealed TO the United States
10 rescue Bulgaria from its present
internal crisis. II Is felt generally
that Bulgaria's pitifully small army
would be almost powerless to cope
with a widespread uprising. King
Boris, who has striven constantly 20
bring about peace, is deeply disturb
ed at acts Of terrorism.
Hundreds Of families. fearing muir
der at the hands of Macedonian des-
peradoes. are fleeing toward Sofia
from Petrich, where Michailoff has
headquarters.
Foreign Minister Buroff in his
statement said:
Il fear that IL We do not soon Sc
cure relief, either through the Unit
ed States or Europe, Bulgaria must
slowly bleed to death. Let the great
United States. TO which six million
Bulgarians look as a guardian of
small nations, answer. As the rich
est, most powerful and most influ-
entail nation in the world, il will De
impossible for the United States 10
play the role Of passive onlooker in
the face Of the tragedy which
threatens Bulgaria.
Says Bulgarians Oppressed
"Will not the United States save
Us before our peasants, crushed with
taxation, Preparations and the high
price Of the necessities Of life, are
forced TO embrace b~olshcyism III
NJ. Buroff said that the succession
Of terroristic acts by illegal Mace
DOMAIN bands which had occurred re-
! Gently were the indirect result Of the
crushing terms imposed upon Bui-
garia by the postwar treaties
Speaking Of the Macedonian revo-
lutionary organizations. the foreign
minister said: "Bulgarians living In
those parts Of Macedonia which were
awarded 70 Greece and Jugoslavia
under the treaties are so oppressed
by their conquerors that they cry
out to their leaders for relief; they
neither want TO be Hellenized nor
Serbified.
Besides these Macedonians We
have 5000 more living within out
own borders who sympathize with
their brethren under alien rule anl
are clamoring for autonomy. Paral-
wed as we are by the peace treaties
we cannot give relief either TO them
or those outside the frontiers. There
can be no real tranquility in the
Balkans while these conditions en-
dure.'

LOCKER. Texas, Nov. 2t.-Pros-

where rainfau is not too abundant.
This year, there's a big crop of tur-
keys. the price Il good and the de-
mard keen. Everything points.
therefore. to a mighty thankful
Thanksgiving here this fall.
More than a score of breeders IN
this locality are known far and wide
for the number of turkeys driven N
for the Thanksgiving tables of the
large cities-some sell a thousand
turkeys, some 500. and there are any
number Of west Texans who cash N
every autumn on more than 4 hum
bred birds" There are exclusive
turkey ranches. part-time turkey
ranches. girls and boys paying their
way through college with turkeys.
country churches being financed by
turkey production. In short, this IS
a real honest-to-goodness turkey
land.
The 10000 turkey crop marketed
here this year may be news TO some
folks-but most people know Of the
turkeys. the turkey drives. the tur-
KEY auctions Of Texas. One thing a
lot Of ~poople-even turkey fanciers
do not know is that San Saba
county ranks high in the quality rs

Possibly the best example o.
prize-winning turkey farms IS tina;
Of Mrs. Milton Stanley. near Locker.
She borrowed $3.50 in January. 1916.
and invested this sum in turkey
eggs. The following fall she sold
5000 worth Of Thanksgiving birds.
That started her on the way TO the
top. This year she has sold n large
number Of turkeys and has won
prizes. blue ribbons and grand cham

show. the Red River Valley show and
the state fair at Dallas.
81 believe the southwest Texas
country TO have certain natural ad-

Mrs. Stanley. But | feel sure that
when more farm women and men
discover that turkeys are in keen

hershwin was born in New York
city less Than 30 years ago. and
started his career working for s. a
week IN a quick lunch restaurant
owned by his father. Out of this
meager compensation. he saved
enough to buy a second hand piano,
with which to provide an outlet fo-
inc original rhythms which he COM
posed almost without effort. A
short time later he secured a job a.
a piano "plugger" with a musical
publisher and success as a composer
OF poular music quickly followed.
Several years ago, Walter Dam

and u is said that the Rhapsody N
Blue is the outcome Of a suggos-
ton which the famous conductor
made 70 the young composer TO en-
phasize the classical style in a pop
ular composition. Critics say that
parts Of the Rhapsody" show a
style and technique similar to the
music Of Mendelssohn. That Gersh-

new process that converts petroleum

ternational conference on blum
inous coal at the Carnegie Institute
of Technology today. Outside of
laboratories coal has not heretofore
been made of oil.
The announcement surprised a
conference which gathered because
there is a surplus Of coal and which
has been hearing how to turn coal
into gasoline.
The creator Of the, new process,
DR.. Walter Rittman. said that not
withstanding the fact that it makes
coal. the real Importance is its
power TO produce more gasoline, and
that u contains also the possibility
OF converting crude petroleum en-
tirely into gasoline.
The new Eittman process uses the
waste petroleum after all the gaso-
line obtainable by cracking has
been extracted. BY heating and run

l|lllssE:,'.,,a:S' 80 SITUATION,

LOS ANGELES, Feb. O. Price
levels for beef cattle in the past few
months have reached a point where
a fair return is made to the producer,
bringing the industry nearer a part'
tv with other industries, when the
purchasing power of the product IS
considered. Considerable activity
has resulted from this in some quar-
tcrs along the line Of taking off or
reducing the tariff on the impor-
tation of dressed beef into the
United States.
OF course, such a program would
not meet with approval in the agrl-
cultural sections which are so badly
in need Of the returns which they
are now receiving for their live
stock, compensating them in a meas
ure for the disastrous losses which
they incurred following HE war
However, in the industrial consum-
ing ccntcrs of the East, at first
glance, such policy might be faV-
Iored, but this is>s. difference in
viewpoint which is readily correct
ed by an analysis of the situation,
\ Admittedly this would be short
sighted move, as if it were the pro-
per action to take in connection Will.
Reef, the same principle could, no
doubt, be applied to the product of
other industries and doubtless,
would directly effect the output of
many industrial consuming centers
which are enjoying the benefit of
protection similar to that which the
producers of beef are receiving
through the tariff.
1t should be recognized that pros
perity or depression in any indust-
ry directly effects our entire econo-
mic structure. That is, prosperity
Of agriculture reflects itself in the
purchasing power of those engaged
il this industry, making it possible
fer them to purchase the output of
the industrial centers, such as farm
implements and the entire list of
manufactured products, of which the
farmer is a buyer. When he is unable
to buy, the reaction, of course, is
felt by the factories making these
items and it goes right down the
line to the withdrawal of capital
and labor from these industries and
the depression passes back to agri,
culture through the curtailed buy
ing power of farm products in the
industrial sections caused by mar
rowing the outlet of their product
to the farmer.
1t is important that we should all
appreciate how closely allied indust
ry and agriculture really are and
il would not seem to hehoove those
engaged in either pursuit to advo-
cate any measure which would strike
at the prosperity of the other.
The movement for the removal, or
reduction, of the beef tariff may
gain some momentum, perhaps being
used as a political football, but the
feeling in the West generally seems
