REFUSE TO SAVE FOOD

Gem State Banner, Lewiston: When
hotels and restaurants show a willing
ness to comply with the requests of the
todd administration patrons in many
instances complain and say that they
are being GIFTED. Some people have
an idea that meatless day each week
will be their revination in short time,
and the same persons draw the line at
cornbread, oatmeal, or anything calcu.
lated to save on wheat products. The
fact of the matter is few people know
what is best for them to eat and refuse
to listen to any advise in regard to the
matter But Hoover may be able to
pound little horse sense into trcir
heads before the war is over.

The cry of the needy in Armenia and
Syria has particular appeal to the
Christian peoples, for it was in these
ancient lands that civilization and
Christianity had their births. The
countries have long been under Tur
kish control, and the Christian inhabi
tants thereof have been more or less
subject to persecution at the hands OF
the Mohammedans, who are the rulers
of the Turkish empire.
Awful Deeds Arc Committed.
Since the entry of Turkey into the
world war, deeds almost unbelievable
have been perpetrated by the Moslen
against the Christian peoples of Tuf,
key. The men have been butchered and
the women and children left to die OF
starvation.
At the beginning of the war, the
Turkish government sought to force
every man in the empire to don the uni
form of Turkish soldier and enter the
army. Islam and Christian alike were
ordered to be prepared, on an appointed
day, to enter the military. Subjects of
the Ottoman empire including The Chris
tian Armenians and Syrians, so the
story goes, prepared to join the nation s
fighting force. Here the hitch came
When the day for enlistment arrived
the Christians were asked by the Mos
lem government not only to become sol
diers, but each was commanded to take
an oath that there was but one God
above and Mohammed was His prophet
In other words, they were commanded
to affiliate with the Mohammedan
church. Thousands upon thousands of
Christian men among the Armenians
and Syrians refused to take this oath,
whereupon they were put to death by
the wholesale, with axes and similar
weapons, while their women-folk were
outraged by the Mohammedans, driven
with their children from their homes,
and denied food, drink, clothing and
shelter.
Thousands Ssarve to Death.
Today thousands upon thousands If

Christians in Bible Lands Left to Die
When Men Are Massacred for
Refusing to Become Moslems.

Idaho county is about to again be
the scene of a campaign to raise money
for the relief Oh war sufferers. This
time it is the Armenians and the Sy-
rians who are to receive succor from
the generous people of Idaho county.
The sum of $1,000 is to be aised in the
county, and of this amount Grangeville
is to be asked to provide $500.
The campaign is to open the evening
of Sunday, January 6, with an illus
trated lecture in the Odd Fellows
hall, at which time the situations in
Armenia and Syria, both parts of the
urkish empire and populated largely
by Christians, will be explained. The
process of raising money will not be
undertaken at this meeting, it is an
nounced, but will begin later
Slides Will be shown to give the aud
fence an idea of actual conditions in
Armenia and Syria, wildly picturing
the starving refugees in these lands.
Some of the pictures are said to be
grewsome. The lecture on the whole
is calculated to be educational. Through
the use of slides, supplemented by a
lecture, the committee feels that the
the public, than would be the case
should printed matter be used exclusive

County Is Organized.
p. j. Bragg of Seattle, field secre-
tary for the Armenian and Syrian relief
work, was in Grangeville Saturday and
set the ball rolling here. He met in
the council chamber with pumhor of
business men and presented his plan
for carrying on the campaign here. The
plan was adopted and committees were
appointed to have charge of the work.
Mr.. Bragg will return when the cam.
paign proper begins and will direct
affairs in Idaho county. Ministers of
the gospel have been identified with
this work in various parts of the coun
try, as well as have men prominent in
the business world.

Politics In National Parks

A strong plea to compel COMPETE
ton between camping companies hold
ing privileges in our National Parks
was made by Congressman Everis A.
Hayes Of California in supporting leg
is'ation along that line in the closing
days of the last Congress. Mr.. Hayes
,ontended that the present admins
tration of the Interior Department is
making a mistake in granting mono
poles in some of the parks, which
frequently permits extortionate
charges to be imposed upon the pub
lie. The management of the Yose-
mite Yark in Mr.. Hayes State was
cited by him as an instance of the
beneficial effect Of competition. The
camps there conducted give better ac-
commodations and better service at
more reasonable prices than in any
other park in the country. At the
same time, Mr.. Hayes asserted, they
are thoroughly regulated by the Gov
eminent, and compelled to be kept in
a sanitary condition.

No Chance For Pork

Although the judicial Code autho-
rizes the Attorney General to dis
tribute Federal courts copies of the
Federal Reporter containing the de-
cisions of those courts, Representa-
tive Burton r. Sweet Of Iowa, called
attention to the fact that at the pres
ent time there are about 10 United
States courts In the country that are
not provided with those volumes. In
the last Congress the Department of
Justice had submitted an estimate Of
appropriation which would have en-
abled it to comply with the law, but
the Democratic economists in the
House decided that the dispensation
OF justice did not require an expen-
diture for law libraries. Congressman
Sweet contended that the Federal
judges were greatly handicapped in
the proper performance of their du-
ties by the lack of necessary reference
books, and made strong plea for
granting the request of the Attorney
General, but without avail.
