It has been announced that 90 per
cent of the letters written by the
American soldiers during the war
were addressed to mother. In peace
times most of thev letters were ad-
dressed to father, and asked for a few
more dollars.
. The dust in the city has been bad
for the past few days. The sprink-
ling wagon has been out of commis-
sion and the traffic on the main thor-
oughfares soon causes dusty beds to
form and the fine dust has a habit
of getting in the air.
There is not a chance for dull days
in Weatherford. The watermelons,
peaches and* grain are keeping things
busy and before these products have
all been marketed the cotton, corn
and sweet potatoes will be on hand to
keep old prosperity on the move. This
surely is a favored land.

From one to two cars of the best
peaches ever raised in any county are
shipped from Weatherford every day.
They are coming to the city in wa-
gons, buggies, automobiles and 1 rucks.
The crop is decidedly the largest the
county has ever raised. The indica-
tions are that shipments will continue
for several weeks as there are a num-
ber of orchards that, have all kinds
of peaches that will not be ready for
the market for some time.

Vladivostok, Siberia, (By Mail)—
Feodora Hurtat, a little Russian girl
of fourteen ye&rfs was recently the
heroine; of as great a deed of bravery
as was ever performed on the West-
ern Front. Feodora was out walking
with her small brother and sister neat
the railroad at Sedanka, a station
about 20 versts from Vladivostok. The
children were playing between the
ties of the railroad tracks while she
was sauntering in the road nearby.
Suddenly looking up, she saw the
.train approaching and almost on top
of the two small kiddies. She rushed
1 up the embankment and flung them
I off the tracks, thus saving their lives.
I She herself, however, was not able
| to get away in tmie, and was dragged
beneath the wheels of the engine.
! When they lifted the little mangled
body from beneath the train, Feo-
dora was still living though quite un-
conscious. One leg had been cut off
and she was suffering from concus-
sion of the brain. A telephone call
was sent to the American Red Cross
in Vladivostok which immediately
sent out an ambulance with a doctor
and nurses. The little heroine was
brought in and laid on one of the
w hite beds of the American Red Cross
Hospital.
A clean amputation was made of
the stump, while everything else in
human power was done to save her.
A special nurse was put on the case
night and day. Her mother was per-
mitted to be with her all the time,
though she never regained conscious-
ness.
Every member of the American
Red Cross, from the doctor to the
poorest “sanitar” took an interest in
the case, and tried to do something
for the child who had so unhesitat
ingly sacrificed herself to save others.
In the still small hours of the night
one of the doctors would be seen si-
lently slipping into the ward trying
to find some change for the better.
Or a nurse from another floor would
bathe that white face that ^ay so still
upon the pillow. Or a sanitarwould
stop to wince at a moan or strangled
cry. that sometimes burst from the
blue lips.
Five days she lay fighting with
death, doctors and' nurses fighting
with her. Hut it was of no avail. At
two o'clock on the morning of May
30, Decoration Day, she died.
And the nurses and doctors of the
American Red Cross who later at-
tended the memorial services in Vlad-
ivostok, included little Feodora Hur-
tat in the list of heroes and heroines
for whom they were praying loving

Exporting Kentucky Bourbon.
By Associated Tress.
Louisville, Ky., July 30.—Exporta-
tion of Kentucky whiskey has begun
as a result of the lifting of embargoes
in the British Isles, according to deal-
ers here. Large shipments from ware-
houses throughout the state are being
made to England, Ireland and Scot-
land, exports so far having exceeded
20,000 barrels, according to reports.
The distillers are represented as de-
sirous of disposing of the big Ken-
tucky holdings before constitutional
prohibition in January halts exporta-
tion.

New York, July 30.—Charges that
Turkish officials decimated the Greek
population along the Black Sea coast,
250,000 men, women and children liv-
ing between Sinope and Ordou, with-
out the shedding of blood by “parboil-
ing” the victims in Turkish baths and ,
turning them half clad out to die of j
pneumonia or other ills in the snow
of an Anatolian winter, are made in a
letter from Dr. George E. White, rep- j
resentative of the American Commit- >
tee for Relief in the Near East, made !
public here today.
Sinope was the birthplace of the
philosopher Diogeness Dr. White re- j
calls, and Ordou is jsut beyond Cape
Jason, which is still preserved in,
memory of the Argonauts and the |
Golden Fleece. The letter, written to
Professor J. P. Xenides, secretary of
the Greek Relief Committee here, de-
scribed the new method of ridding the
land of its inhabitants which, it said,
was somewhat different from that
29.000 village Greeks, now less than
13.000 survive and every Greek set-
tlement has been burned. The num-
ber of orphans, including some Arme-
nian and Turkish children, in the en-
tire district, it was said, aggregate
60,000. Since the armistice, the doc-
tor wrote, many of the deportees have
been returning to tneir mined homes.

employed by the Turks against
Armenians.
The worst of the crimes laid to the j
Turks, according to Dr. WTiite, were
committed in the winters of 1916 and j
1917, when orders were issued for
the deportation of the Greeks along
the Black Sea coast. The people, he
w’rote, were crowded into the steam
rooms of the baths in Chorum under i
the pretense of “sanitary regulations” >
and after being tortured for hours
were turned out of doors into snow
almost knee deep, and without lodg-,
ing or food. Their garments, which
had been taken from them for fumi- j
gation, were lost, mined or stolen.
Most of the victims, ill-clad and shiv- ,
ering, contracted tuberculosis and ; '<
other pulmonary diseases and “died <
In swarms” on the way to exile, the ,
letter declared.
