WALHALLA, S. C. WEDNESDAY, MARCH IO, 1010. MAUI', MAY El (HIT MEMORADLE. Seneca Red Cross District is mak ing preparations to have a great celebration al Seneca on May 8th next, in honor of tho soldiors and .sailors of OcollOO who have by thal date returned to their homes from service ol' theil" country. This is a nw ve in which The Courier Joins lim: ' heartily. Tho hoys who have gone to tho front or were really to go deserve some recognition ill the hands of the civilian population, and Seneca Ked Cross District workers should re?oive the hearty co-opera tion ot every citizen of OcollOO in iheir u.idertakiug to give? the li rs I real organized recognition of our re turned soldiers and sailors. lt is the plan ol' the Seneca Red Cross District to give the hoys a rousing welcome, a bountiful dinner, to ha vi; them parade for Hie benefit of the public and doubtless in colli na ny with those organiza I ions that il so niuch work al homo for tho uneflf of thu hoys at thc front. hore Will ho speeches hy moil Ol tomlneuee in civilian life and by op roser, tall ves chosen hy the sol ller-sailor boys lo speak for them as hot! y . . < . he hoi . iv to-o?- i' ''Sdi!

They re it nest that each one shall do so at once, and they make the rennest be cause they want to get the name of every one of ' our boys" who has re turned homo with his honorable dis charge from the service. Don't wtiit lill tho last moment. If you are among tho boys who have returned from overseas or from military camp, sit right down now and write a brief note to T. H. Joni's, chairman of the committee of arrangements, and in this note give Mr. Jones your full name, company, regiment, etc. Wo do liol know that more than your name is desired by this committee for this occasion, hut there will be plenty of times when this informa tion wil prove of value, and the giv ing of it now in this connection will bo of use in future days if it is not needed for tho present occasion. Anyway, let's all co-operate with the. Seneca District Red Cross in .his most commendable enterprise of entertaining our returned soldiers und sailors. And keep in mind the (?ate May Sth and make your en gagements bot ween now and then with the view in end of having May Sth open for but one occasion, and thal the gathering at Seneca in hon or of our soldier and sailor boys re turned from answering the call of country and duly WORK YET TO HE DOM!.

Hi T \'< > r ADE, hy any means. I'o you know and if you do know, have you fully comprehended the fearful fact that .some 00,000,000 poople human beings like ourselves are neilla ly starving to-day. and that tiley look to America for suc . or? And there is something strange in the situation. Those greatest of the after-war sufferers represent two na tions the Jews, (led's chosen peo ple, and the Armenians, the first Christians, What au opportunity Christian America, big, rich, blest vbovo ?ill nations on tho face of the Marth, to tho rescue of the first Christian nation, now starving, piti fully In nood of help; thia samo America to tho rescue of tho Jews, Hod's people chosen of Him, He re jected hy them. What an opportuni ty to bring tho .Jewish nation lo the foot of tho Cross! "Man's extremity is Hod's opportunity." Certainly that portion of tho Jewish nation-- the Mews of tho dispersion"- now at tho mercy of Turk, Russian and Gor l ian oppressors, aro in a state of dire need matched only by tho de plorable condition of tho Armenians. I'liey aro all our brothers. Will wo seek to evade our duty and ask. "Am I my brother's keeper?" Wo have heard tho expression, \merlon is not responsible for tho condition of olthor Jews or Armen ians." Let us devoutly thank God that wo aro not-but lot us not seek to shirk a resposibllity that con fronts us because lt has been gi von to as, ns a nation, to bc above atrocities and barbarities. Lot us rather act lao part of the Good Samaritan, do ing what we can to roliove tho suffer ings of these two peoples, who como io us with appeals to give of our bounty, not that thoy may live in 1 ixury, hut that they may have strength to hattie against starvation nulli they are able to make another trop with which to sustain life. The .i j . pea ls come for no more han this and in thousands of cases, even doing Mir host, the effort will prove futile, foi ere succor eau go forward in su'licient quantities, thousands will have perished.

The Armenians and thc Jews call 'c us now-"Save or we perish!" WHY NOT (?HOW TOMATOES? Tho South is endeavoring to raise the price of cotton hy cutting down the acreage this year. There are many farms in every section of our county where a part of the cotton acreage can he advantageously util ized hy substituting tomatoes for cotton. The cultivation of tomatoes is hy no means a new idea, hut it is one that for some reason has never been taken up to any appreciable extent in Oconee. We have heard some who have gone Into tho tomato raising in past years say that the yield proved not only abundant, hut profit able. Why not try it out this year? J. H. Harnett advertises that he is ready to contract with tomato grow ers for the crops raised. Would it not he well to make an experiment with at least small plots-say from half to two-acre sections -giving those small patches careful and busi ness-like atton lion ? We would like to know that the tomato proposition will he given con sideration this year by at least a few good fanners. We would not advise going too deep into this line. Ex perience with cotton in tho past > houhl warn ugainsl committing the same folly in a different Uno. We do not recall ;i winter during which j canned goods of most any kind have proved M drag on tho market. Canned goods are as staple in win ter as corn mid oats and other grains. There is room In Oconee for half a hundred small, individual canning outfits in addition to the Marnotl es tablishment, which ls operated on ;i wholesale basis, Mut "his plant has seldom been furnished with sulllcient fruits and vegetables to meet Its full capacity. At any rate, give the matter some i bought. American Ship Sinks-1) Perish. i London.
