WOMEN GF ARMENIA SEND GIFT OF THANKS TO AMERICAN SISTERS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. As a token" of thanks and appreciation for services rendered by the women of America to the women of Armenia, the latter have sent a large and richly decorated Armenian flag to the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense. The flag has just been de- ; livered to the State Department after being enroute from Armenia for nearly a year. The banner measures 46 by 56 inches and is completely bordered by A frinffp nf narrow p-nld Tt is ntirj ly hand-made even to the joining of the tri-color stripes which are sewn ! I. ... : . V. J...i 1 ible minuteness. On the reverse of the flag is a greeting, emblazoned in J gold embroidered letters as follows: "To American Women from Armenian Women." Appropriate Letter. Accompanying the flag was a letter dated at Cairo on November 28, 1919, from Dr. H. B. Ketchedpian, president of the Armenian National Council, to H. Gary. American Consul General, Kasr-El-Doubara, Cairo. The letter follows: "We beg leave to introduce to your excellency a delegation of the Armenian woman's committee who wishes to commit to your care a small box containing a specimen of our national flag, being the result of an elaborate needle work on a specially prepared I ' 1 ' I H 1 1 . ' Ill, IV ClUCOb IU 1. 1 A DailK. forwarded to the Woman's Committee of the United States Council of National Defense at Washington, as a small token of deep gratitude in recognition of the great interest shown toward the Armenian women and the valuable services rendered for the Armenian cause. "We take this opportunity of requesting your excellency to be interpreter of our grateful thanks for the noble work done by the great American nation for the well-being of our country." j Receipt of the letter and flag has been acknowledged by Emmons K. Ellsworth, acting director of the Council of National Defense. THE FORUM THE BOYS IN KHAKI We have but recently witnessed, and not without feeling, great demonstrations in honor of the World War soldiers and all in active war service done. Fitting and proper it is that such service, such sacrifices and suffering as they were called upon to endure, should be not forgotten nor go unrewarded, and the fondest reward is to live in the hearts of men To answer the country's call and place at its command their lives, perchance as the objects of, death dealing agencies, to sleep beneath foreign but hospitable sod, was the lot of the boys in khaki clad. They have endured the terrors of war for a season, and have returned, but not all, for some rest beneath the flowers of a strange land, to be wildly greeted and further to nestle in the warm .embrace of the homes from whence they went. Our holidays and stale occasions grant them front rank, flags are displayed, and they present themselves with proudly beating hearts, and are acclaimed as heroes every one, justly so. Two years and more have passed since the smoke of the last belching gun has wafted away, since the last patrol of the skies has dropped its deadly bombs upon the helpless victims beneath. The vast army has recrossed the deep, and has been taken into the life of a grateful people. 'No more, we trust, may war's echo reverberate across the distant deep nor troubled lands resort to arms; no more may the son of youth be torn from a mother's arms to stay the hordes of blood. W.hereof do they speak to us, these boys of khaki? They offered for their country's sake to die; ought we not therefore to live for it? They have braved the terrors and dangers of war Ought not we therefore, to deal peaceably and justly with all men? With resolute mind and steady hand, and in full obedience to those in authority, they went about their tasks of war ?'nd early triumphed: ought not we fo to lay hold upon problems of peace? They had but a single purpose; no strife nor contentions for places of honor deterred: has it been so with those in authority over us? Carrying aloft our national emblem, they crossed the dangerous deep and adrled heart to multitudes. Is the call today' to the nation of less import? To them are due places of trust, for they are trustworthy, and a place in the nation's warmest heart. By upholding the nation's highest ideals and traditions and by the conducting of ourselves as worthy citizens of a great republic, are we increasing the warmth of that heart? They have done well their part; have we? Roadside applause is sometimes hand-made and not heart-prompted. Unfolding months and years will set more nearly a just appreciation upon the World War's accomplished tasks, and mete out to the nation's subsequent actions a better value. We are in the midst of a time of which history will judge; this is the time for action. EDGAR C. DENNY. Nov. 15, 1920.

The other prisoners held a council of war and informed the hysterical man 'that one of their number was a physician and was prepared to operate immediately. Securing a pair of pinchers the "doctor" opened the afflicted prisoners mouth and placed the pinchers therein, immediately withdrawing them, clamped fast to a safety pin. "There you are," said the "doctor." "Thanks, I feel fine now," said the patient.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The farmers of Dalton township met at the West River school on the evening of November 12. The attendance was only fair, but the war horses of the federation were thre to keep the machine in motion. Ben Taylor, township secretary, presided: reported a few financial facts, and as to the membership drive now on, and spoke ers at once and to do more cooperative work as to buying next year. A number of Wavno townships have voted to send a delegate or two to the state federation convention, which opened at Indianapolis this morning, and is to last over Tuesday. Dalton followed this lead on last Friday night, J. C. Root being selected. Township delegates do not vote.

Dolan's Subject. County agent Dolan was the speaker of the evening at Dalton. He gave an interesting 25 minute talk on the work of the county agent and of t!;e future of farm associations. He spoke of the need for co-operation among farmers, both in a neighborly manner in their local farming affairs, as well as in business dealings which affect the welfare of the entire body of farm operators, such as co-opera tive buying and marketing. "There i are serious problems awaiting solution," said he, "and these demand the best thought and action of all the farmers of the nation, properly or ganized to carry on whatever work may be deemed best, and to plan and outline according to the best interests of producers from the soil." Short Courses at Purdue. Our county agent believes in Purdue short courses. Mr. Dolan thinks that all having leisure and opportunity, and the need and use for the practical information of value to be derived, should hie themselves to Purdue this winter. It cannot fail to be of benefit, and more particularly so to the young, who are "not sot in their ways." The courses so far announced are: Poultry, December 16-18; Buttermaking and dairy work, January 24, continuing two weeks; Farm machineiy and tractors, January 31, continuing two weeks; Fruit growing, February 711; Commercial vegetable canning, February 21-25 . Anyone desiring further information as to the scope of above demonstrations, etc., should apply to the county agent, in the courthouse, by mail or in person. Your Strawberry Vines. A number of our farmers have strawberry beds of which the wife and mother is proud. She bottles or cans and preserves strawberries from her own garden and serves with cream during the season. But others do not set a great deal of store by strawberries, it would seem, as they have no plots. This article is not written for them but for the "other fellow." Strawberry plants should be protected from freezing and thawing all winter long. City folks can mulch them with, leaves, over which a light coating of earth has been sprinkled to keep the leaves compact enough to prevent blowing off. But do not smother the vines. The farmer can use straw, which holds its place well when settled, and dops not pack and f mother the plants. The straw should ! not be removed until the plants .start growing, as it conserves moisture and smothers weeds. Where snow comes early and stays all winter, it forms a protective blanket, but this is not the case in this section. If you will make a good strong white The Best

A review of the wheat situation shows that on' Tuesday of last week, Chicago December sold at the lowest roint in four years, in fact that was true of all deliveries of wheat, corn and oats. That however does not tell the whole story, because December wheat made a still lower figure on Friday, when it touched $1.75, with March at $1.67H, when on bottom. December com reached 73, and May corn 78 for bottom, on same date. The closing on Friday was at slightly better figures,' and there were still further advances on Saturday. December wheat sold up to $1.8314. closing at $1.80. After touching $1.75 March wheat closed at $1.70, showing the policy of the speculator is to hit and sell on the high spot, and this has been the average procedure for some weeks. Corn showed feeble rallying power and closed on Saturday at 74 c for December and at 79c for May. Cash wheat. No. 2 hard brought $1.S6 to $1.8712; and No. 2 corn from 86 to 87 cents on Saturday. Wheat closed at Chicago, Saturday at 29 cents off for December and 324 cents lower for March, compared with Saturday, October 30th. December corn was oft about 12 cents, and May about 6 cents, compared with October -30th prices, last Saturday.. Brokers who were buying wheat when it was selling above $2.50, seem to have nlpntv to sell now. Not real wheat, of course, just options. -Live Stock Markets. 9 The Chicago hog market is down once more to the price prevailing on Saturday, October 30, on which date the "top was given at $13.05, which, by the great fiorn spoon, is exactly the top on Saturday, November 13, and this after considerable of a bulge, as we all remember. The Chicago receipts were around 160,000 'head- for the week, the largest in any week in past five months. Packers are said to be still, bearish on hogs, claiming that other markets are relatively lower than Chicago. The bulk of hog salps at Chicago, Saturday, were made at $12.30 to $13.00. Indianapolis made a top of $13.25 on heavy hogs on Saturday. Best killing steers sold at from $16.00 to $17.00 at Indianapolis on Saturday with the cheap kinds a "heap" lower than one week ago. Men who take the optimistic view are beginning to think that the time is not far off when grain and stock men will come to the conclusion that wheat and live stock are really worth something, and have real value to the world, considerably above prevailing prices.
