! Milk Supply Short
j The high cost of feed. and the war
ilemaml for beef at hijjh prices has had
i the effect to hrinK the number of dairy
cows here to the limit where the sup
ply of dairymen 's hardly sufficient for
the demand. Most of the lemiinn dairy
men are fhort of milk daily and many
families tind it impossible to secure
! their nes'ds. The shortage, in fact, has
brought on a kind of milk rationing.
The standard dairies now charge 12$
. cents per quart for milk.

Our Allies in the Near East
By Charlks 1'aans Hughes
Trobably at no time in the history of the world
have there been so many fatherless and mother
less children as there are today, 'l ens of thous
ands, probably hundreds of thousands in Ar
menia, Syria, Caucasus, Persia, Mesopotamia
and Palestine are not only without parents, but
are without any strong parental government to
give them the help and protection which orphan
children of other lands enjoy.
American Consuls and missionaries cable
the American Committee for Relief in the Near
East, almost daily regarding the situation. One
message from the Russian Caucasus pleads for
the support of io,ooo children at an average
expense of two dollars per month per child.
Another from Tiflis reports 40,000 children in
one region waiting for an answer to a previous
cablegram requesting help. Reports from other
points indicate similar conditions. Among the
many appeals it is possible for this committee to
Sssume responsibility for only the most pressing
cases, and it is upon these that the committee
would focus the attention of the American peo
ple. Splendid help has been rendered the little
ones in other lands, but these in Western Asia
are no less human than those who have already
been aided by American charity. It is the duty
of Americans, as well as a privilege to respond
to this great opportunity and help keep alive the
best civilization that Western Asia h:.s developed.
All expenses of administration for this relief
are privately met, so that every dollar sent to the
committee is used directly by their agents in
purchasing food and supplies for the needy who,
according to the best ad- 'Ves and from audited
reports, receive the full benxfit of the funds sfnt
them.
Out of the horror and nightmare through
which these people have passed comes the gratify
ing word that we can be of assistance; that our
efforts will prove availing, and that we can share
with thee orphan children the bounty which we,
as Americans, have enjoyed for years. The work
done by this committee has been most unselfish
and effective tinder conditions of great personal
sacrifice. May America respond to their appenls.

NICK GROWS.POETIC
IN HIS DESCRIPTION
From San Francisco Bulletin
Not since the day when the late J.
Proctor Knott delivered his celebrated,
albeit, too lengthy panegyric on Du
luth, which although intended as a
slam at an appropration for the devel
opment of that great lake port really
proved the best advertisement the
place could have had, has there been
anything recorded in the pages of that
sterling, conservative publication, The
Congressional Record, more exciting
than the re.'ent spech by Representa
tive Nick Sinnott, of Oregon, in which
he described Crater Lake in the follow
ing language :
"Crater Lake, cauldron-like aid cir
cular, 7,000 feet high, is perched amid
the peaks. Perpendicular sides of
slaggy lava rise over a thousand feet
from waters of indigo blue six miles
across and 2 000 feet deep.
"Tothesci . t st, a mighty volcano
collapsed witnin itself, Mount Mazama,
15,000 feet high, telescope.
"To the poet, 'the sea of silence,'
'a lake of mvatery.'
"To mi, a shell hole of a war of
worlds who knows?
"Could the great blind poet have
seen this marvel ere his nen had Luci
fer and his host of rebel angels
Hurled headlong flaming, from the
ethereal sky,
With hideous ruin and combustion,
down
in Miltonic imagery here he'd have
found the impact."
This is certainly a graphic descrip
tion of ' W here Lucifer Lit" and if
Reprentatite Sinnott's effort cannot
be described as putting apples of gold
in pictures of silver, refining pure gold
and painting the lily, then there is no
such thing as hyperbole.
Will our own John I). Raker, of Mo
doc, with its majestic lava beds and
other evidences of the time when chaos
struggled with entity; "Where long
ago the Titans fought and hurled for
missiles mountains;" will our own
Congressman Church, whope district
embraces the wondrous Yoscmite per
mit this to stand as the solitary tribute
to only one of the many areas of gran
deur the Pacific coast can boast, or will
they give California its meed of pub
licity through the same medium and by
more graphic description of its greater
wonders draw attention to their exis
tence? California Wind S rong
0. B. Nye, member of the board of
dierctors of the Apple Growers Associ
ation, who is just back from a business
visit in Santa Cruz, Calif., for many
I years his home, declares that he never
1 saw worse wind and rain storms on the
California coast than during the first
ot last week. Mr. INye says the wind!
caused a great deal of damage.
"The frost reported over the decidu-'
ous belt of California, however," gays
Mr. Nye, caused no damage. The al-!
mond orchards were in full bloom, but!
growers say the nuts will not be h !
jured in the least." j
