sir. and Mrs. Rambo Return
on Furlough From the
Near East.
Oregon's plonoer missionaries, Mr.
and Mrs, W. K. Rambo, formerly of
Baker, and for many years engaged
in missionary work In India and the
Near East countries, have returned to
the United States on furlough. News
of their return has been received by
Itate Manager J. J. Handsaker, in
charge of the combined China-Near
Bast relief campaigns for the state,
in a telegram from New York, where
the Rambos landed a few days ago.
Throughout the Near East, the mes
sage states, everything is "generally
amuck," with little prospect of im
provement until definite action is
taken by the Allies in regard to the
Turk-ridden nations. Conditions in
Greece and the Caucasus are touched
upon, with details of the appalling sit
uation at Batoum, where the veteran
missionaries have spent several
months among the 16,000 Greek refu
gees surviving from the thriving Cau
casus colony located there before the
war. The Rambos were on their way
home last fall and had reached Con
stantinople, when the call came for
litem to go to Batoum and aid the
refugees there until the latter could be
brought back to Salonika, where the
Greek government is endavoring to
make some sort of provision for re
turning Grecian refugees.
In letters written from Batoum, re
cently received by Mr. Handsaker, the
Rambos tell of thousands of families
being huddled together in rain-soaked
tents and abandoned barracks, beset
with typhus and other diseases, half
naked and starving. "And 10,000 more
refugees are on their way here from
Kars," the letter concludes. "These are
now in the snow covered mountains,
and as many as can pull through jvill
soon be here. What we shall do then
we do not know. Everything here is
unsettled and disturbing. It is con
sidered certain thai file Nationalists
or the Holsheviki, or both, will soon
take" the city and no one knows what
will result." In a later letter they
speak of the arrival of a ship to take
back a load of refugees for repatria
tion and the joy it brought to the
camp, although the Salonika camp to
which they were bound could offer
little additional in the way of food,
clothing or other relief.
Previous letters, written from the
Near East, tell of the enforced flight
"at the wihm'of a Turkish official,"
of the Rambos and 200 little orphans
in their charge. They had to leave at
a moment's notice and in the dark,
traveling till night on foot and carry
ing their own blankets, clothing and
everything else they possessed. They
were allowed no lights and were told
not to speak above a Whisper, as mur
derous Turks were running riot all
along the way. After stumbling along
through water and over rocks for
hours, they reached the railroad sta
tion at day break, exhausted but with
out the loss of one of the 200 children,
but none too soon, for with the com
ing of light the Turks discovered what
was afoot and began firing upon them
from the hillsides, the little caravan
of exhausted children and missionaries
making the last hundred yards through
a hail of bullets.
The Rambos conducted their 200
charges, with many adventures and
hardships, to safety within the walls of
a British Belief station, and turned
homeward) stopping over for a day
for rest at Adana. While they slept,
exhausted, the Turks tore up the rail
roads leading to and from Adana, and
left them marooned in the hot, dusty,
besieged city. They awoke to find
bullets breaking through their walls
and whistling all around them. With
Miss QrM.e, a young American relief
worker, they finally : rted from
Adana In a Near Fast lord, joining
a refugee caravan and fleeing south
ward. Thy were shot at repeatedly
and at a dangerous pass waited three
hours before daring to attempt the
run across an open space. At last
with Mrs. Kamho and Miss tirane
lashed to the running board of the
Kord, behind a barricade of baggage
on the op ite side from the heaviest
firing, and Kamho himself at the
wheel, with baggage piled high all
around him to ward off the bullet t,
they made the rush, "driving like Jeitu
for two miles," until beyond the aim of
the bandits." After many other stren
uous experiences they made they way
to Constantinople, going from there to
Hatoum for several months, thence
home to the United States.

A Country Boy's Essay on the Silo.
"A silo is a hole entirely surrounded by
a wall, fur storin cow feed. Sometimes the
hole is in the ground; sometimes it is up
in the air. To build a silo, first select a
nice spot fur the hole; then build the wall
outside the hole, if you want to build UP,
or inside the hole, if you want a pit silo.
Either kind is good, but you got to go
about it different. If yon can t put UP a
silo, put one DOWN , but don't put it OFF.
"All kinds of material is good fur the
silo buildin' except hot air. Good ones is
made outen cement, concrete, cement
staves, or slabs, holler tile, brick, stone,
wooden staves, steel, or two-by-fours.
We has 2,000 silos in Oregon made of
them above materials, and about 20,000
outen hot air. Most of the fanners have
got the spot fur the hole picked out, but
they ha hit never begun to commence to
build yet. fur some reasons or other.
"Borne haint got the money, some caint
decide on the kind of silo, some sez its
too much work to haul the crop in and
cut it up. some sez it make the cows teeth
fall out, and some sex it gives them the
holler horn and holler tail some sez it
makes the milk turn green, some sez the
butter from the silage milk won't churn,
some sez it makes steers scour, hawgs
howl, ami lambs limp. Anything to put
off silo buildin'. I'm a tellin' you folks
you better get busy and look into this
silo business; it'll mean money fur farmers
that wants to make beef, mutton, or milk,
and 1 know of some feeds it to hawgs, and
lots of it is led to horses and mules. I
wouldn't starve on it myself if 1 had to
eat some green corn silage."
WE SELL THEM--ALL KINDS.
