EUROPEANS USE WHITE FLOUR
That Is One Reason for Increased Wheat De.
mand, According to J. J. Hill.

had asked Mr.. Hillwhat he thought
of the practical side of conservation,
whether there were need for it nation
ally, and if 50, how all the theory and
preachment and talk could be reduced
to terms Of fact in the practice of
everyday life, says Outing Magazine.
and his answer was: 1--WE are tiddling
while Rome burns! Why is there so
much alarm over the scarcity of
wheat? Consider the answer history
gives to the questions confronting our
own age. TheValley Of the Euphrates
was once the garden of the earth.
Why did that scepter of greatness
pass away? When Greece was mas
ter Of the known world, why were
laws enacted pronouncing sentence of
death on any one shipping grain be-
yond Crete? Why did Rome build
her wonderful roads but to bring food
from foreign countries? Why did
Spain launch out ON Il policy Of for
eign conquest but to bring from abroad
the wealth which her own soil could
no longer yield? Why did Greece and
Rome and Spain fall back from the
leadership of the nations, just as soon
as produce ceased to pour in from
abroad?
"We are growing more wheat than
ever before in the history of this cOln-
try: but the demand is growing far
faster than the supply. European
countries. that formerly used scarcely
any white bread, now use from IA
pound to IL pound and Il half Of flour
per capita a week: and our own pOpu-
!ation is growing faster than the food
supply. Why is wheat dear: Com
mon sense answers that there isn't
enough wheat grown"

DRUG STORE FIXTURES ARRIVED.
Piepho Drug Co. has Received the Fixtures
and are Now Catering to the Public.

About the middle of March Il. &.
and f. {. Piepho visited Judith Gap
for the first time. They were look
ing for an opening for Il drug store,
and after being in the town for sew
eral days they decided that Judith
Gap was good enough.
Work OF a twO-story building was
commenced at once and stock and fix
lures were ordered. The building
was completed the first Of May: sew
eral shipments of the drug stock ar
rived about the same time. but the
fixtures Except the soda founta!n) did
not arrive until last week. Never
theless, the boys now have every
thing neatly arranged and are prepar-
ed to furnish the public with any
article that tirst-class drug store
handles.
The fixtures are Of golden oak and
consist of a prescription case, three
large general show cases, Il jewelry
ease, cigar case, four wall eases, Il
wrapping table, and soda fountain.
r. c. Piepho is a graduate of the
Minnesota state Institute Of Phar-
macy at Minneapolis. After grad
uating he was with the City Drug
Store Of Faribault, Mimi, for four
years. During the last two years he
has been doing prescription work for
LaPpyre Brothers at Great Falls, this
state.
+. G. Piepho was hospital steward
for over seven years in the L. $. navy
and army, and has therefore gained
an extensive knowledge of the differ
ent drugs in general use-pOssibly a
much better training than pharma-
cautical course. He also was EN-
ployed as prescription and fountain
man ut Vogeli's drug store at Mime
apolis, and at the City Drug Store at
Fairbault as prescription man.
Both Of these young gentlemen be-
lieve in the future of this country and
~. Industrious, courteous and care
frl workmen. They have made All
200 investment in this city-and
are maintaining drug store that
would be credit to Il place many
times the size of this one. 4 full line
of drugs, drug sundries, stationery,
cigars and books is carried, and the
boys certainly deserve the patronage
of all in this community.

head of the Turkish cabinet that the debt will
be 1iquidated fast money is piled into
the Ottoman surplus fund
A lowering of taxation rates Is also prom
ised by the new ruler. In years past the taxes
upon the people of the empire have been so
steep that thousands upon thousands of them
have migrated to America, others going to
countries in the vicinity Of Turkey, where the
yoke placed upon the subjects head Is not
nearly SO heavy.
1t proved conclusivey that Abdul Ham
i'd himself ordered the Moslem fanatics Of
Asiatic Turkey to wipe out the entire Arme-
nian race and with the advent of Mehmed v.

estimated that 10000 Armenians had been
slain during the few days which interyened be-
tween the order of Abdul Hamid and the sue
ceseful termination of the revolution in the
deposition of the despotic monarch
That was the first step in the Turkish house
cleaning and it has been followed by others of
greater import to the subjects of the sultan.
The minister of the interior has personally
toured the provinces nearby and also the out
lying districts with view towards learning
the wants of the citizens. thorough reorgan-
ization is still in progress and already results
are beginning to show themselves.
Reasons for Abdul Hamid issuing the fate
fu secret order for the massacre of all Ar
menians are assigned to his desire to stem
the tide of growing strength of the Young
Turks and give another bit of play for the
idle hands to accomplish in order that the de-
structiveness might be turned in direction
other than Yildiz Kiosh.
To all intents and purposes he succeeded As
far as destruction went Abdul Hamid was sue
cessful, but the terrific wave of opposition to
his rule refused to spend itself In the massa-

his own downfall.

largest of the old world. 1t embraces exten-

around the eastern waters of the Mediterran-

west coast of the Persian gulf and southern

The rejuvenation of Turkey is going on from
the inside as well as from the outside The
powers Of the world want to give Turkey a
chance to retrieve itself and they realize that
the new sultan must be depended upon. Every

Turkey longed for his life blood and thousands
of plotters were praying for chance to effect
his demise.
Finally. however, the people Of Turkey took
the view that 1t was the Office OF sultan which
they honored and not the occupant of that po

with the primary idea of restoring the constt-

promises Of New Turkey" gave them the
constitution they wished. Then by machinar

or two members of his court, he took away all
the grants, still leaving the subjects in pos

amounted to nothing more than an empty
promise.
