AnatoIia Mostly Agricultural.

A vast majority Of the people of
Anatolia have always derived
living from the soil or from their
fiocks, but the methods used are
only just beginning to develop past
the primitive.
Many peasants still break the
ground for planting with flint-tipped
wooden plows drawn by oxen or
buffalo or, perhaps, If there are no
animals available, by daughter or
wife. However, steel plows are be-
ginning to make their appearance
here and there, and near the coast
cities tractors are coming into use.
Eleven years of almost constant
warfare Immediately preceded the
establishment Of the republic and

river, in August. 1921, and heroic

those who were physically able
and. with such equipment as could
be scraped together, began again

There was no money for farm
machinery. Grain was thrashed by
the primitive method of rolling it
out under a heavy log set with
sharp stones, and was converted
into flour between two heavy stones
manipulated by the women of the
farm household. Now the new gov
ernment is operating agricultural
schools which teach the advantages
that accrue from the use of modern
farm machinery.

about learning this new method of

small percentage of the population
could read or write the difficult

When the Turkish republic came
into being, in 1923, 1t took over an
empty treasury. Turkey is not
lacking In natural resources, how
ever. Copper, silver, zinc, chrome

emery, some coal, and a little iron
make up its mineral treasure chest.
There are also approximately 21,-
100000 acres of timberland and a
considerable amount of embarrassed
water power.
Only about 2 per cent Of the
population is engaged in manufac-

husband of Mrs. Gebhardt died 35
years ago-in 1895 in the city of
st. Paul.
Mrs. Gebhardt had been ailing for
some weeks and this, coupled with old
age, caused her final demise. Like
so many pioneers of Pine county, she
had also endured the trials of the
early settlers in sparsely populated
communities. She was born i'm the
state Of Wisconsin.
Funeral services were conducted in
the Larson undertaking parlors at
Sandstone Tuesday morning, and in

cemetery in st. Paul the same day,
the body being laid to rest beside
that of her husband.
