"27, Has Hearty Approval of President Wit- •on and FoodAdmlnlatratprHoover. Ohio's Quota la $1,949,000. Now York.—(Special.)-—'The first of a fleet of relief ship* owned by the American Committee for Armenia^ and Syrian Belief sailed from New York this week for port* fix Asia Minor. This vessel Is the Mercurius, which has been given to the commltto by the navy department with the ap­ proval of the food administration. The president and Herbert Hoover, director general of the' Interallied food administration, are in heart sympathy with the alms of the com­ mittee and are aiding in every way, as indicated by their recent cable grams t o rthe officials of the organ­ ization. Bailing of the Mecurius precedes by only a few days the opening of the Armenian and Syrian Relief Com­ mittee Campaign in the United States for $30,000,000, with which to carry pn further relief work. Tho. campaign will be held the week of Jan. 27. Chip's quota is $1,640,000. Carrying an assorted cargo of ma­ terials and equipment for relief pur­ poses, the Mercurius will reach Con­ stantinople in about 30 days, and be­ gin the work of distributing food, clothing and, medical supplies among the starving".and plague-infested peo­ ples of Armenia, Syria and Persia, and among the Greeks of Asia Minor. Another steamer, similarly equip­ ped, hut carrying even more food*, sti ffs and other goods, will sail from this port about the middle' of. the month. This ship, too, has been pre­ sented to- the American Committee for Relief in the Near East by the government. Only ,last week the steamer West Cape,, laden with a mil­ lion and a half dollars’ worth of. flour, • sailed for Constantinople and Beirut, Syria. The 7,555 tons of flour are the property, of the committee, having been purchased with the consent of the food administration for distribu­ tion throughout Asia -Minor by way of the ports mentioned above. The committee has directors ih this'hun­ ger-ridden area who are supervising the feeding and healing of millions of Armenians, Syrians, Greeks and •Persians. The West Cape is not, the property of the committee. It' is the Mercurius which is the first of the completely equipped relief ships own­ ed by the committee, to be' sent cn Its mission of mercy. On board the Mercurius are 24 small motor cars, 20 motorcycles, 15 ambulances, 60 motor trucks, 2,000,- 000 yards- of cloth, 100,000 blankets; 50,000 pairs of shoes, 1,000 cases of refugee clothing, 200 tons of food­ stuffs, chiefly groceries; seven 100- bptl hospital units and 10,000 cans of- condensed milkl A special license was .required from the food administration for the ex­ port' of this great quantity of pre­ pared milk. Were it not for the fact that this Commodity Is. Intended tor hungry babies and children in the Near East, the government would not permit it to be sent out of the coun­ try In bulk. The committee got in touch with the food administration in Washington and obtained permis­ sion to take out the milk. Captain. Caleb L. Morris, U. S, N., commanding the Mercurius, will get ih touch at Constantinople with the commissioners who sailed from 'this port a week ago to make a survey of Asia Minor for the American Com­ mittee for Relief in the Near East.

F. X*Jolmom ta* Flftmtufe LABOR SHORTAGE THREATENS PRODUCTION The Fertilizer Industry Hard Hit by the WAr. The supply of fertilizer for 1919 spring sown crops fa threatened by shortage of labor in the fertilizer fac­ tories. This fact is of particularly se­ rious Import to the potato farmers of the country, for the great potato sec­ tions are coming more and mote to de­ pend on fertilizer for the economical production of this crop. Thus it hap­ pens that the very factor which pre­ vents factories running to full capac­ ity also has effect in preventing farm­ ers from using their own depleted farm labor supply to best advantage. Labor cannot bo used to advantage on those field* which can give but half a crop. The fertilizer industry is normally a seasonal Industry. Abou* the first of February the factories are normally In full blast, producing fertilizer for use on spring crops, Then they “die down” -again for a period of several months In late eprtng and early sum­ mer, Tills requires a large floating Supply of labor, a supply which has largely been eaten up by demands of the shipyards and munition factories. Transferring the Industry .from a seasonal basis to a full 19 months’ op­ erating basis will certainly be econom­ ical of labor. The factories can then work a t somewhat diminished dally capacity for more weeks In the year, and In this way get out the necessary tonnage. I t can’t be done at once, however, because factories do not have storage space enough to allow of tills, Goods must be shipped out almost as fast a* they are made~so that the greatest possible output by the re­ stricted supply of labor may lie as­ sured, if fertilizer Users the country over will order early, through accustomed channels, and agree: to take the good* frsm thd car on arrival, much may he done to help insure a sufficient supply m neat spring** twrineee. l a t t y «*• 1 «Mja- M FURS Just Half Price- iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifM w FURS Just Half Price m e g S£z css 111 55 Begining Saturday, January 25th, a Total Clearance of Every Garment in the House Reductions are tremendious—-dutiobject is to sell every garment in stock before inventory which occurs February ist, in many cases quanities are Jimited—we therefore advise early shopping.
