JUGO SLA VIA, NEW NATION
FROM BALKAN WAR RUINS
Country Rich in Farms and Minerals Soon to Enter World Market
By Building Railroad and Port.
L. A. Wilkinson in New York Times.
Discussions incident to the re-
cent floation of a loan by Ameri-
can bankers on behalf of Jugo
Slavia have made many people
wonder what kind of place that
country was. The reader may
share the shock this writer ex-
ant vineyards of Dalmatia, and
surely it would be impossible to
forget two moonlight nights,
spent wakefully in a motor car
traversing the high green hills of
Herzegovina. There the green
slopes were jeweled with stacked
grain, and in the higher pasture
perienced when he learned that land myriad sheep grazed under
Jugo Slavia was the fourth in
area of the allies in Europe, four-
fifths the size of Italy anl infin-
itely richer in resources.
Indeed, the very riches of the
territories now known as Jugo
Slavia doomed them to lack of
development during the centu-
ries when they were small states,
for their potential economic pow-
er made them much coveted by
stronger neighbors.
The kingdom of the Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes, to call Jugo
Slavia by its official name, has
many difficulties before it. If it
can proceed even for a few years
in the peaceful development of
its great economic possibilities, it
will play a role in the eastern
portion of the continent not far
short of the former importance
of Austria.
Jugo Slavia was formed with
pre-war Serbia as a nucleus, and
numerous provinces, whose peo-
ple, of a common Slav origin, vot-
ed to join with their kinsmen in
a Southern Slav state, Croatia,
Bosnia, Herzegovina and Dal-
matia, won their liberation from
Austria as a result of the allied
victory. A national Montenegrin
assembly, elected by direct bal-
lot, unanimously joined that for-
mer kingdom to the new state.
Fertile lands in the Baranya,
Banat and Batchka regions were
acquired from Hungary and
some smaller areas from Bul-
garia, all having a Serb, Croat or
Slovene origin. The area of the
country is 95,628 square miles,
more than twice the size of
Pennsylvania. In Europe that
means a great national territory,
as comparison with Italy indi-
cates.
A Land of Fruitfulness,
I traveled down the Save river
through Croatia, and had to rub
my eyes to refrain from believ-
ing that I was jogging again
through the fertile valley of the
Arkansas. Corn in the fields,
stacked wheat, watermelons, to-
matoes and fresh vegetables of
all kinds abounded. At every
crossroads wagons waited, loaded
with fine hogs or grain, for the
train to pass. Those pictures will
stay with me, as will the pleas- tion in Europe.
ihe moon and strange, picture-
book shepherds, with the crook
of legend, tended their flocks by
light, reviving memories of
childhood verse.
One does not have to depend
upon eyesight impression to
place the importance of Jugo
Slavia in v/orld agriculture. In
the production of corn it ranks
first among nations of Europe
and second only to the United
States. In wheat it is fifth in
Europe and eighth in the world;
rye, ninth in Europe and tenth
in the world y in oats, fifth in Eu-
rope and seventh in the world;
in potatoes seventh in Europe
and ninth in the world; in flax,
fourth in Europe and eighth in
the world. A favorable balance
of trade within the next few
years should be assured to Jugo
Slavia through agriculture alone.
Another great source of
wealth made available by the
rich surface soil is lumber and its
by-products. Double the area of
Pennsylvania, Jugo Slavia has
more than 18 million acres of un-
touched primeval forest, against
Pennsylvania’s 4 million. The
scarcity of wood in other por-
tions of the continent makes this
an asset which runs high into
billions of dollars.
Currency is Sound.
H. I. Smith, an American min-
ing engineer, has made a report
on the mineral wealth of Jugo
Slavia.
“The kingdom contains a
greater variety of minerals use-
ful to mankind than that of any
other similar area in all Europe,”
he said.
■ The general condition of the
finances of the kingdom of the
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes may
be classed as exceptional. On a
continent where paper money is
of the plentifulness and approxi-
mate worth of autumn leaves be-
fore the.wind, it is a relief to find
a government which has issued
less than $6 value of notes for
each of its population. Jugo
Slavia has the least per capita
papep money in circulation and
the least per capita national debt,
internal and external, of any na~
Curing Meat.
Most, of our people have al-
ready cured their meat, and
those who have not doubtless
know how' to look after it, but
the Extension Department sends
out and recommends the follow-
ing recipes, which we print:
Dry Sugar Cure.
To each 100 pounds of meat:
5 pounds salt.
2 pounds sugar.
2 ounces saltpeter.
6 ounces black pepper.
1 ounce cayenne pepper.
Mix ingredients and rub on
one-half. At the end of two
weeks rub on the remaining half
and leave for six weeks. Wash
and smoke as dry salt cured pork.
Brine Cured Pork.
To each 100 pounds of meat:
10 pounds salt.
2 ounces saltpeter.
4 gallons water (boiling).
Pack pork in clean jar or bar-
rel and pour on the liquid when
cold. Weight down with stone
or wooden weight. Reboil brine
if it should appear ropy.
Liquid Sugar Cure.
To each 100 pounds of meat:
12 pounds salt.
3 pounds sugar.
3 ounces saltpeter.
6 gallons water.
Boil ingredients together, cool
and pour on the meat, as in plain
salt pork. Large pieces should
be at the bottom, skin down.
Christian Church.
Bible school at 9:45. The school

Deputy Sheriff Wounded;
Vernon Youth Jailed.
Vernon, Dec. 19.—Ollie Key,
17, of Vernon, is in jail at Fred-
erick, Okla., following a shooting
affray in which Deputy Sheriff
Wade Crane, of Frederick, was
seriously and perhaps fatally
wounded at noon yesterday.
Crane had placed Key under ar-
rest at Grandfield on instruc-
tions from Sheriff Frank Ed-
mondson, of Vernon, who held a
warrant for his arrest on a
charge of horse theft. As the
officer neared Frederick with his
prisoner the youth is alleged to
have drawn a pistol and fired one
shot, the bullet taking effect in
Crane’s right side. The empty
shell hung in the chamber.
Crane overpowered Key and car-
ried him to Frederick.
Two horses and a saddle stolen
here Saturday night were re-
covered.
You can find all kinds of nuts,
apples and oranges at J. A. Will-
son’s.
How He Was Healed.
One man gave his testimony
in the Richey meeting in Fort
Worth Sunday stating that he
was born with defective eyesight
and finally became totally blind.
He attended the meeting ir Feb-
ruary and returned home with
faith and while scrubbing clothes
in a wash tub a short time ago,
helping his wife do the washing,
he suddenly received his sight
and went into the house and did
some reading. Now it will be
just like some fellow to attribute
his restoration of sight to the
wash tub and the fact that he
was assisting his wife with the
washing.—Arlington Journal.

TIVE BROMO QUININE is better than ordinary

ing present last Sunday at a Christ-
