ton at County Fair

Bows in Stevens county who wish to
participate in the corn growing con-
test for county and state prizes should
get busy early this year. Stevens
county will distribute about two hum
dred dollars in prizes and the state
will give much more. The rules which
Stevens county boys may cumpete are
easy but those who get busy first will
have the best chance.
Any boy in the comfy over ten
years of age and under eighteen may
enter either the county or state con-
tests. The acre-yield contest will be
carried on this year on the same gen.
eral plan as in 1914. The Contestant
must not raise more than four acres
of corn from which to pick the best
acre at harvest time. The corn may
be drilled or checked any distance in
the row, but the rows must be Feet
8 inches apart, 3 feet 6 inches apart,
or feet 4 inches apart in order 10
make the demonstration acre conform
to normal farm practice. The acre
plot chusen must be at least II rows
; wide and incluue the ground beyond
the two outside rows to distance
half as great as that between the
rows The contestant must do ali the
work but if he is too young to do the
blowing he must keep a close account
Of the assistance secured, and render
an account Gil blanks furnished for
that purpose. Al soon as the corn is
ripe the boy will be instructed how
to check the yield and later the figures
will be veri led by man from the ex-
tension division. Those who enter the
state contest will be required to write
a story about their experience. In
the county contest this will not be re-
quired. -#
At the Stevens county fair this fall

S25, the third SIS. and the fourth
$40 Eighteen other prizes Of SIS

the fair, which left four of the five
dollar prizes without takers. 1t is

hoped there will be enough exhibitors
this year to take all the prizes.
County Agent Hawk thinks the next
three weeks should be propitious for
those who announce themselves as en-
tr: nts to the contests in this county.
He will assist the toys all he can and
be glad to answer questions concern
ing methods. prizes, etc. Il does
not specify any particular variety OF
corn in the contest but he recommends
any one of the Dents. Parties wishing
to enter either or both of the contests

Northwest of Village of Urumiah.

Tabriz, Persia, April Proceeding the re-oc-
cupatlon by the Russians of the Salmac pains in
AzerbalJan province northwest of Urumah, 100 ma
tive christians rounded up by the Turks in the
village OF Haftedwan, and massacred. Many of
these were searched out from the homes of friendly
Mohammadens, who tried to hide them.
The Russians on entering the village found 720
bodies, mostly naked and mutated. The recovery
of bodies from wells pools and bitches and their bur-
ial kept 300 men busy for three days.
general massacre of the 10000 $4,000
christians remaining in Uruniah is expected, unless
averted by orders from Constantinople.
Verbal messages from Urumiah confirm the
earlier reports that over 800 persons already had
been killed in that neghborhood and over 1000 died
of diseases. They also confirm reports of maltreat-
ment of Rev. E. t. Allen, American missionary at
Urumiah
At the village of Haftdewan, wailing women in
tensifed the horror of the scene. Surviving widows
who were able to identify the bodies of their hus-
bands insisted upon digging graves and burying the
bodies Some of the victims had been shot Others
were bound to ladders and their heads, protruding
through the rungs were hacked off Others had their
eyes gouged out and limbs chopped off.
RUSSIANS VICTORIOUS
Hostiities between the Russians and Turkish
forces In Persia have been resumed. On March 25,
the Russians defeated the Turks In sanguinary
battle at Atkut1r, north of Dilman, northwestern
Russia, the Turks losing 10000 killed. wounded and
prisoners as well as many guns.

Cando, n. D., April 1.-Following the

afternoon, Mrs. Hans Sogge. the third
defendant in the Benson county child
murder case, this morning swore that
she had no knowledge that a living
baby had been deposited in the out

the infant was delivered without life

of which was the tragedy of Oct. 10,

Minot, N. D., April LII. H. Kemp
er. former president of the Citizens
bank of Minot, for the second time has
been exhonerated of the charge of ap-
propriating the funds OF that institu
ton. The first trial last fall, on a
charge of embezzling a few hundred
resulted in acquittal. The second trial
on a charge Of embezzling $4,000 has
had a similar outcome.
The verdict of not guilty brought in
this morning at $3.50 o'clock, the jury
having been out for sixteen hours.
Kemper appeared grave when the jury
came in this morning. When the
verdict was announced however, his
face immediately broadened into a
smile and he heartily shook hands with
his counsel, with the Judge and with
all the jurors.
He was apparently greatly affected

his first acts was to get into communi-

AS one of it's important acts at the
annual convention, which closed in
Grafton yesterday. the North Dakota
National Guard association passed a
resolution requesting the ad1utant
general to institute compaign OF
education for the instruction Of the
general public in the proper manner OF
rendering honors to the national colors
and the national air.
The states soldiers realize that the
people of North Dakota are intensely
patriotic and have desire to pay
honors to the country's flag and the
national air on every occasion, but
owing to a lack OF instruction are not
able to recognize the occasions on
which honors should be paid. In
order to assist in this good work 1t Is
