BAGDAD has been the fenc-1
lng ground of generations of
the most skillful of European
diplomats and secret agents.
and is one of the most important stra
tegic centers in the near East. It is
the dominant city of the eastern part
of the Ottoman empire, yielding little
in Importance to its great sister me
tropolis on the Bosporus. As Con
stantinople Is the guarding heart and
brain of Turkey in the west, so Bag
dad is the strength of the empire's
eastern defense.- Within its bounda
ries are the administrators, the offi
cers, the supply depots and the bureaus
for organization, operation and supply,
which constitute the backbone of de
fense in the whole Mesopotamia di
vision of Turkey, says a bulletin of the
National Geographic society.
The ancient city, moreover, lies
upon the natural line of communica
tion between Persia and the West, and
between the West and the Persian
gulf. Three ancient caravan routes, one
from Khorassan, another up the Eu
phrates into Syria and the last up the
Tigris Into the Armenian plateau and
to the Black sea behind it, were the
elements of Bagdad's trading strength
In ancient times. Today Its Impor
tance Is almost wholly bound up in
the potential wealth of its surrounding
plains, watered by the Tigris and the
Euphrates, where some of the earth's
earliest civilizations dawned, flour
ished, decayed and shrank into ob
livion; and in its dominating position

Bagdad the Magnificent is now a de

materials supplied with this fuel. Be
fore the discovery of oil, Bagdad's In
dustry was hampered by the exorbi
tant prices which coal brought In this
region, so distant from its source of
production 115 and $20 a ton. Bi
tumen and asphalt lakes and springs
abound on the northern reaches of the
Tigris, and promise riches to a fu
ture Bagdad.
Its People Are Shlite Arabs.
The city has a population of about
two hundred thousand, and Is gov
erned by a pasha, who Is assisted by
a council. The pasha comes from Con
stantinople. There is some difference
between the ruling Turks from Con
stantinople and the native Arab pop
ulation of Bagdad, as the Turks are
Sunnltes and the Arabs are Shiltes.
This religious difference has many
times prevented harmonious co-operation
between the Turk and Arab.
The city does an annual trade in
normal times In imports and exports
of about fifteen million dollars, buying
oil, cheap cottons, shoes and other
western manufactures, and selling
hides, wool and dates. Germany, Eng
land and Russia have been the strong
est dealers In diplomacy and com
merce at Bagdad.
The city lies about five hundred
miles from the Persian gulf, following
the course of the river. The Tigris,
like the Danube, is the great water
highway of an agricultural country,
and it is the main artery of Bagdad's
external traffic. It maintains, in times
of peace, steam communication with
Its port toward the Persian gulf by
means of one British and one Turkish
line of steamers. Steamer service on

in Importance as a mart for interna
tional trade, as a station on the path
of the rich merchandise caravans from
the East and West, and as the center
of a land of abundant harvest It Is
still, however, the second city in the
empire, and its loss to the Turk would
be relatively almost as great as the
loss of Chicago would be to the Uni
ted States. But more than this, the
nation of the West controlling Bagdad
would control the whole fruitful area
between the world's two most hlstorlo
rivers the Tigris and the Euphrates;
would dominate the Persian gulf, and
would exercise a powerful influence In
the affairs of southern Persia.
Bagdad has awakened during re
cent years, and has given its strength
to schemes for reclaiming the vast
waste areas about it by irrigation. It
planned the expenditure of $130,000,000
for the reclamation of 12,500,000 acres,
and as an Immediate project it decid
ed upon the reclaiming of a tract of
more than three million acres. A new
order of things began for the time-burdened

outbreak of the war, and hints of the
nervous, keen, hasty, modern life of
the West were multiplying. The rest

each to select a farmer partner. It Is
noticeable that there are Just about
the same number of farmers as pu
pils In the average district. In any
event the children are so apportioned
that each farmer has a young partner.
Each pupil calls upon his farmer part
ner to learn how he cares tor his seed
corn, asking htm the name of the
variety, how many bushels he has se
cured per acre, what date the crop
was planted, what date gathered,
how hung up, how protected from
rats and mice, how much he has on
hand, and how much he is willing to
take for what surplus seed corn he
may have for sale.
This Information Is taken back to
school, where the pupils compare
notes and each writes his findings.
The farmer partner Is Invited to come
to a school meeting, and the best es
says are selected and read.
If it is found-that the seed corn
is scarce, the next duty of the young
partner is to locate all the 1914 corn
still In the crib, and to test It for
vitality. These tests are to be made
with corn during February and March.
The "rag doll," which Is the most
popular testing method, Is being sup

grain men, millers, bankers, commer

Where the Strong Are Weakest
In view of the deadly inroads of
grippe and pneumonia and the warn
ings In this connection Issued by the
publio health authorities, a word ad
dressed especially to the strong and
well may not be amiss. Though seem
ingly remarkable, it is a perfectly logi
cal fact that both grippe and pneu
monia find their greatest number of
victims among persons who are in
normal health. The latter disease, In
fact, seems rather partial to excep
tionally robust persons, and, in every
day parlance, the stouter they are the
easier they fall.. The reason for this
is simple. Frail persons are accus
tomed to take extra care of them
selves in the knowledge of their weak
ness and liability to sickness, and thus
escape some of the ills that overtake
the stronger ones. The robust ones,
especially the man who "never had a
sick day In his life," come to regard
their health as being immune from at
tack and so expose themselves reck
lessly. Also they are Inclined to in

wise old hens were saying, Instead of
thinking he was so clever himself, for
Jray Hen bad thougbt of a plan to

'If we can get an end of the clothes

f a worm, we can bury It In the

pick It up. He will jump at It, ol

"The very thing," said White Hen
'Here comes the dog. We will ask him
to bite us off a ploce of the clothes

The dog thought It would be a good

A little later when be came In the
