tal fel fent >A Its been a long time since we talked to you through these columns. Not that we didn’t have anything to say or sell, we’ve been so durn busy, . and like unto the farmers, we’ve felt kind of down we are not banking very much on Good- sii peeps Bot tariff law or the Capper-Tincher law to effect the price of wheat, and nobody else does either for that metter. The enraged at on vindicated but the farmers have been foolec a kag aoc is futile in the face of politi- cal and economic conditions in Europe. Our in- dustries are supplying markets formerly supplied by Europe, and Europe has ceased buying our raw products and food stuffs. Its a double edged sword that cuts both ways, reducing the price of what the farmer has to sell and increasing price of commodity he has to buy. For some people this condition is very much appreciated and they are not very anxious for a change. But so long as Europe wants to fry in its own fat we are almost helpless. The governments of Europe are morally bankrupt and are holding onto their war loot like a lean tick to a niggers skin, Funny that so many senators have to go to Europe to find this out. Yes, why don’t they come here and con- sult us. Our political edvice, like our Building Doctor’s prescriptions are free for the asking. But there is one thing upon which all the congression- al solons are agreel upon their return and that is, to keep hands off Europe. We could have told them that too. But what’s the use? If our friends here at home will not take our politic] advice how can we expect Hi. Jch>son snd Brookhardt to take it. Oh! no, we’re not discouraged but we can’t keen on indefinitely palavering this political dope, paying the editor so much per inch for it. But its been so long since we have given the world and our friends some idea of where the world stands that thought it about time to open up. It will also give some of our friends an opportunity to again get their bearing, for some of them never know just where they are at until they know where we stand. Then they are ready to take the other horn. There is just one thing upon which all are agreed and that is, that this is a pretty good place to get Building Prescriptions. Now for a little propaganda of our own. Wherever you find a Propagander there is also a Propagoose. The propagoose in this instance ig some 400 to 500 cords of slabwood. We have the finest slub wood this year we ever had and that is saying a great deal considering what we have said in formet years. This year our lumber was all sawn 114 and 2 inches thick ard the edgings which are cutt into wood is free from the light trashy stuff that is unavoidable when sawing one inch lumber as in former years. Alkalie Ike run the scissors this year and its all cut even length. Fits the stove like paper on the wall. Housewives that have tried it cry for it like chi’dren for Castoria, Like Tanlac it is invigorating, puts Pep into your stove, comes out like a ribbon, lies flat on the grates, is soft but satisfying end the heat lingers. In the words of Alkelie Ike, “It is the burnenest, slabenest slab wood I ever sawed.” Eventually, why not now?. Hussman Lumber Co. HOME BUILDERS AND BUILDING DOCTORS. CONSULTATION FREE.

There is a large proportion of food value in honey and It should be con- sidered as staple an article of food as butter, Honey is not a luxury—or should not be so, It is one of the necessary foodstuffs and should be generally used. Honey equalizes butter in nutritive value; it is cheaper, reaches farther, and will keep indefinitely without. de- terloration, In his excavations in Egypt the American explorer, J. M. Davis, dls- covered a jar of honey, still liquid and stili preserving its characteristic scent after 3,300 years, Honey can be given to children to satisfy thelr natural craving for sweets without fear of harmful ef- fects, and can be used in many ways asa substitute for sugar. Harber of Durazzo. (Prepared by the National Geographic So- clety, Washington, D. C.) While the Near East conference is reshuffling the territorial cards that were shuffled last by the treaty of Sevres, Albania, just outside the most recently disturbed region, will prob- ably be permitted to go on its rather gsomnolent way. The country was created in 1912 to avert a world war, find when World war did come the troops in five countries occupied vari- ous sections of it, Germans, Aus- trians and Bulgarians were in control in the northern districts where Ser- bians made after-war attacks, while France and Italy held the south, in- cluding the area about Koritza, which Jater formed a bone of contention with Greece, Durazzo, chief Albanian port, was selzed by d’Annunzio. Perhaps history will recognize Ko- ritza as the scene of the first definite step toward remaking the map of Eu- rope. For there in December, 1916, was set up a government, generally referred to as the republic of Koritza. While most of Albania was In Aus- trian hands this little republic, under French military protection, started to function as an Albanian republic, ts- sued paper money, postage stamps, and established a national army with a fighting strength of 600, Before 1914 Albania was the new- est country of the Old World, and it is peopled by the most ancient race of southeast Europe. Edward Gibbon called it “a country within sight of Italy, which is less known than the interlor of America.” And more than a century after that characterization, before the war helped introduce the Balkans to America, a letter addressed “Albania” was sent from England to the United States, and was returned from Albany, N, Y., with the notation “Not for Albany, try Europe.” The towns of southern Albania are few and, though strange and _pic- turesque in appearance, are in reality poor in comfort. Of cities there are not any. Koritza, with some 20,000 people, is the largest place, but !t fs far from being a city. However, if the towns are somewhat mean and squalid, they are interesting to the eye and have the charm of old-world quaintness. There are but four worth mentioning: Arjirokastro, so old, at least in appearance, that its origin falls back into the mists of time; the pleasant village of Premati, lying in a fertile valley along the river Viosa; Koritza, which was held by the French; and Valona, which became clean and thrived under the Italian army. Few Modern Comforts There, They are all pleasant places to look upon, nestling among the mountains, in the valleys, and by the sea, with their old gray walls and roofs of stone dotted with storks; but they possess none of the comforts or conveniences of modern life. Such matter-of-fact things as trams, hotels, or cafes do not exist in Al banian towns and would seem wholly out of place, Water is drawn from the wells as it was 4,000 years ago, or maybe from some nearby stream. Inns are represented by the khan, a stone building half house, half stable, where caravans and pack trains stop to rest. Albania belongs to a time as far back as the annals of the world can reach and is as primitive as if it were in central China, almost as difficult to penetrate as Tibet Itself. It is a land unfamiliar to the traveler and shunned by the tourist of today. If the three or four centers of popu- lation in southern Albania are a little disappointing as cities, this is not true of the country or of the picturesque villages which gather like gray splashes upon the grayer hills, where they appear to have nestled since the beginning of time. Rough stone huts they are for the most part, with flat stone roofs. For purposes of defense, they are usually situated half way up the lower hills, and the houses and outbuildings are often surrounded by strong stone walls. The valleys are rich and well culti- vated, chiefly by the women, but pre- sent a desolate, deserted appearance, except in the daylight working hours, Not a farmhouse nor a stable is to be seen amidst all the fertile acres, The crops cannot be stolen; no bandit would think of destroying them, and go they are left unguarded. Ancient Reop Thoto by linderwood + lingfarmood In Albania it isn’t so much that his- tory repeats itself, as that it engages in a process of monotonous reitera- tion, Albania is the enfant terrible among European nations. It simply refuses to grow up. It doesnot lurk in the backwaters of Europe because of inferlor people; for it has a stock which is sturdy, intelligent and resourceful. The yital- ity of the Albanians is exemplified in the mere fact that they continue to exist as a homogeneous people amid geographical and historical handi- caps that have absorbed or displaced many of their old-time neighbors. In recent years contacts with Viachs and Greeks have modified the Tosks, or South Albanians. The wilder part of wild Albania, and the more primitive among its people, the Ghegs, are In the north, along the River Drin, which figured In Serblan war news. The Drin is formed .by the conflu- ence of the Black Drin, which rises in the beautiful Lake Ochrida, and the mountain-born White Drin, The Drin proper flows due west before it emp- ties into the Adriatie near Lake Scutari, south of Dalmatia, hair- trigger littoral of post-war politics, Land of the Blood Feud. North of the Drin is a mountain Jand, the Karst, a Sahara of rock, ukin to a fireless cooker tn its effect after a hot day. Here live tribes, un- conscious of national influences, ex- vept to fight invaders, Here is the land of the blood feud, a code by which 25 per cent of the men in some tribes are killed off in their prime, Yet this practice is not to be confounded with mere lawless- ness. Rather {t Is a poor substitute for any recognized legal system or any central power to enforce justice. It is both more rigid and severe, and more elaborate, than the common law of advanced nations, One student of its workings found that a failure to make good a promise of a trifling pres- ent cost a dozen lives in a day, Be cause one man killed a pig that was eating his crops, the male relatives of the pig’s owner killed many of the pig slayer’s clan over a long period of years, Under such a system male relation- ships assume great Importance, A man’s third cousin becomes his “broth- er’; a woman’s family ties, outside her parents, husband, or brothers, are matters of small moment, In many places there is no consciousness of kiuship between niece and aunt. But the ramifications of this same code make woman's position higher in Albania than in the Orlent, or even in many a more modernized region of Europe. For one thing the man wha has a “blood foe” is {mmune from at- tack while in company of a woman. During times of feuds which amount to tribal warfare, women attend large- ly to outdoor duties. Marriage is by contract; generally arranged upon the birth of a child. A woman exercises no choice but has a veto power in re spect to her husband. Should she not wish the man of her parent’s arrange ment she may reject him, but, in that event, must take vows to remain a virgin, assume the status of a man, | and in some regions she dons men’s | clothing. Should she marry another man her rejected suitor’s family must | seek blood vengeance upon her male relatives. Our Ways Strange to Them. These customs seem strange, but no less so than some of our ways to the Albanian. When told that in England & woman must hang for murder an Al- banian company was deeply shocked. It was beyond thelr comprehension how a man could be found who would hang a woman and they concluded that England must be a barbarous is- land, indeed. No less surprise was caused among another group when in- formed of the flirtatious tendéncies of the Anglo-Saxon maid. They couldn't see how the parents of a young woman who jilted a man could escape dire vengeance by his brothers —“brothers” meaning all his male relatives of near and far degree, Even the minor habits in the daily life of so isolate a people are novel. To be without a mustache is a dis- grace in many parts of north, or high, Albanla. The Albanian mother tells her child stories in which, unlike our stage melodrama, it always is the hairless man who figures as the yi)- Jain, ‘OU have been able for many years to get Good- ar Tires at prices Lelow the average commodity price level, as the above chart shows.
