OOOOOOOOOOOSJOOOOO I GOOD’EEV’NEN | C3 By Jack Royson O O O SOME AD— ; Seen in an out-of-town paper; “Here Sole—'Baby' carriage; going M o i h C F out of businss.” J unhealthy trees should be taken out at the earliest opportunity. Trees which are taking\ more than their- share of light and space as well as those trees which are badly overtopped by their neighbors, should go. Avoid making large openings in the wood lots, but plan on having any closed up mthin three to five years. A good crop of tree seed will do much to keep the land from going wild, but the wood lot owners must be careful not to cut too heavily. All the good work can be spoiled by allowing cattle to graze, in the wood lot. Every effort should be made to keep them out.* Farmers who expect to make thinnings in their wood lots should write to the New York State College of Agriculture. They have a publication entitled “The Improvement of the Farm Wood Lot,” which will be mailed to any resident of the State upon application to the college, at Ithaca, N. Y. Seudkg Msffiey t® Armesiiast asd Syriaa Safcers Tl N ORE than four hundred thousand dollars was sent abroad week iV l before last to be distributed by agents of the American Com mittee for Armenian and Syrian Relief in those parts of the Near East where suffering and destitution is greatest'. A like am o u n t ,or one slightly larger, will be sent during August if sufficient money is re ceived. . The plan which has been succssfully followed so tar is to cable money to accredited representatives of the committee, who are working in the larger towns of \v:arious districts like the Russian Caucasus. Persia and Asia Minor. From such central points the money is dis tributed according to local needs. An interesting sum of money which the committee expects to send to Beirut during August for distribution is $i;30,000 received from the sale of the cargo of the Caesar, relief ship sent abroad last Christmas, and forced by political conditions to discharge her cargo at Alexandria. | Though the-entrance of the United States into the war has altered L,jj borne, but you will not somewhat the methods by which relief can be distributed in the Near [ , ------- East, it has not to any appreciable extent put a definite stop to the work. Quite the contrary. In a letter recently received by the commit tee, much encouragement is given by a well known relief worker stationed at Igdir, in Turkey. Extracts from this letter are here quoted: “Many changes have taken place since I wrote to you-—the change of government here and the entry of America into the war. What these changes mav all mean only the future can reveal. But they are changes on the side of progress. “The present government is favorable to our work here. “The work here in Igdir has been very interesting. The people were extremely grateful, and the members of tli Relief Committee (native) cam^ and thanked us. We have given to over 1,700 people here in 19 villages. “In one house there are 73 people whose condition is extremely bad. Not one piece of bedding in the house for women and their small children. Children are practically naked. I have taken the liberty of giving them 14 beds and 10 small coverlets for the children, some clothing to ten boys, seven girls, five w^omen, one man and six infants, They wanted to kiss our hands and feet, they were so grateful.” Mr. and Mrs. Milton A.
