plain the real conditions in Turkey

the Turkish authorities the thoughts
of the American public on the condi-

Referring to the tragic sufferings of
the Armenians and of the need of i'm
mediate help to save thousands of men,
women and children from dreadful

ANCIENT SEED BRINGS
Up A LARGE SQUASH

Los Notwithstanding the discov
cry of the Aztec bean nearly fifteen
years ago, seed has been found in the
prehistoric cliff dwellings of Arizona
along the Verde river. that has hcen
planted and has grown into a huge
green, extremely warty squash which
has been named the "Aztec. The
squash was grown from n seed hun

and in the Verde country is considered
wonder of the age
The discovery was made by John g.
Allen Of Cherry, Ariz, and in most
novel manner. Allen was fishing along
one of the tributary creeks of the
Verde, and his skill with the rod seem
ingly failing him. lie decided to see If
he could not make his trip profitable

Making his way into one of the lar

proved that he was right for he easily
broke through the wall at this place
and discovered small room or recess
which contained pottery. corncobs and
about dozen seeds that resemblc,l
ordinary squash seed. The room had
been sea'ed SO tightly that not even Il

Hoagland of the First Methodist
Episcopal church will conduct the

of her serious illness, DIR. c. S.
Bobb and A. H. Belts left Mitchell

These two hustlers have interview

And all groceriers i'll the city will

life's study and will put in every

Mr.. Wage will be book keeper

That the Sisseton Mill will re-

is one of the best in the country

Narrow Escape from Death by Gas
Poisoning.

Francis Kable and hisson George,
living about nine miles southwest
of New Ellington had narrow escape
from death by gas poisoning on
last Monday.
The Record of last issuesays they
were grinding feed, using a gaso
line engine for motive power with
the engine exhause emptying into
the same room. After working for
some time both were suddenly
stricken at about the same moment.
The father got to the door and fell
unconscious outside in the snow.
George dropped unconscious inside
the building and both lay there for
thirty minutes before being dis
covered by other members of the
family. They were carried into the
house and physician summoned
from New Ellington, who revived
them shortly Both have recovered.
The wonder is that the young
man survived after lying in such
an atmosphere for thirty minutes.
Too much care cannot be exer-
cised in handling gas engines and
the exhaust pipe should never be
permitted to empty into the same
room. The same precautions ap-
ply to automobiles. Several cases
having been recorded recently
where man has started the car en-
gine running in closed garage,
the fumes quickly proving fatal.
Unlike other gas, the gasoline
exhaust appears to catch its victims
very suddenly without warning
symptoms, and unless help is at
hand death is almost certain.

Cannot Charge Double Mileage.

Pierre That sheriff cannot
charge multiple mileage in his
collection of delinquent personal
taxes, is the holding of the
attorney general. 1t appears
that in several cases where a
sheriff has made one trip and coll
lected while upon it from a num-
ber of citizens for their delinquent
taxes, that he had charged each one
of the cases the 20 cent per mile
allowed by law for such trip, i'll
addition to the 81 fee he is allowed
for making his return OH his war
rant of authority.
! The attorney general holds that
1.-THE first person visited and collect
ed from is to be charged with the
actual number of miles the sheriff
needed to travel to collect that tax
and the subsequent delinquents
collected from were only liable re-
spectively for the sheritf's mileage
covering additional miles actually
and necessarily Travelled from the
last place where collection was
made.
The attorney general also rules
in the matter that "the fact the
sheriff has deputy residing near
er to the place where collection is
made than the sheriff himself re
sides does not require the sheriff te
cntrust the collection of the take.
to such deputy.
