ARE BURIED ALIVE
 IN TRENCHES
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Oct 16. - Burial alive in trenches with the bodies of their mothers, who had been slaughtered or allowed to perish from exposure, was practiced by the Turks in their work of exterminating the Armenians, 1t was declared by the Rev. Henry H. Riggs, missionary of the American board of commossioners for foreign missions to Harput, Turkey, who re- gently came back to this country. A trench was dug beside a camp of Ar menian women, he said, and as they met death the survivors were forced to drag their bodies to it and bury them.
 "The gendarmes said they could not take care of the babies that were left behind, so many of those were buried with their mothers" Dr. Riggs said. When I visited this camp frequent ly saw Turks wandering about among the Armenians picking out pretty girls and little children to take away to theiI homes. Some mothers told us that they had themselves thrown their babies into the Euphrates river rather than allow them to be taken to Mos. lem homes. Many more threw them. selves into the river to escape a bond age of shame worse than death.
 About fifteen miles from Harput is alike hidden from sight with many ravines about it. We were told that the Armenian exiles were being killed and left in these ravines. Two Ameri cans investigated and brought back photographs and actual facts. They saw in twenty mile ride 10000 hu man bodies, most of them killed by the bayonet. With a few exceptions they were women and children and the mangled condition of their bodies showed the horrible fate that had been theirs"
 The story of the deportation of the Armenians of Harput is one. of per fidy, violence and murder" Dr. Riggs

THIRTY YEARS AGO

Miss Mary Hansen, the young lady
who for two months past has been
lingering at deaths door with
typhoid fever, died Thursday morn
ing, and Friday her remains were
taken to the old homestead near Ok
ford for interment.
Professor Faris, formerly principal
of the Blackfoot public school, is now
located in Ogden, and is doing well
in civil engineering and surveying.
Success to him says a host of Black
foot friends.
Madam Rumor Is modestly telling
her friends that j. H. Anderson, late
of West Virginia, but now Of Black
foot, will soon return to his old
home for one fair one who Is fiat
tening her nose at the pain waiting
and watching for him. The News
has repeatedly heard the gentleman
humming, "The Girl Left Behind"
and now that she is to be made his
own it trusts that his joys Of married
life may be in direct proportion to
the avoirdupos of the clustering
bride. ......
On Tuesday Of last week Richard
Watson, a rancher living on the west
side of Snake river, accompanied by
his wife and son came to Blackfoot
on business. After transacting their
business he told his wife and son
they had better hitch up the horses
and return home, and that he would
follow them later. About o'clock
he started and has not been seen
since reaching the Trego ranch,
about two miles west of town. The
supposition Is that he lost the road
and wandered around until he be-
came exhausted and benumbed by
cold, lay down in the snow and was
frozen to death.
Hawley and Reeves have moved to
their new office over Johnson bro
theirs.
The Methodist church is to have,

One of the cutest sights of this
snowy season is Little Lille West
with her sled and dog. Every day
she has her pleasant rides making a
picture like the little Laplander and
his reindeer. Rover makes a splen-
did team, but the funny part of 1t
is, he will stop now and then to
bark at a COW or to make the ac-
quaintance of another dog.
Miss Jennie Jamison, deputy clerk
for A. l.. Richardson, was married

Sheriff Robbins, of Ada, who was

three feet deep over here. The shefih
must have dreamed it while on the

H. L. Becraft, administrator of the

WHICH BOY OR GIRL WILL WIN
THE BABY LIBERTY BOND?

The boys in khaki who are going
to France are not the only ones who
are helping win the great world war
in the interests of humanity and de-
mocracy. All over these United
States there is larger army made
up of boys and girls, each one OF
whom is doing his bit" In no state
can there be found more patriotic
young people than in Idaho. Many
of them have enlisted in the boys
and girls club work as conducted IN
Idaho jointly by the U. s. department
of agriculture and the University OF
Idaho extension division. These club
members are caring for their war
gardens, their acres of corn, and their
potato plots They are growing pigs
and poultry to increase the meat sup
ply of the nation. The girls are not
only growing gardens, but are can
ming and drying fruits and veget-
ables, so that no food will be wasted.
All are contributing their mite" to
the end that our soldier boys and
our allies may have ample food sup
plies while on the front.

is the consciousness of having done
their patriotic duty in this time ol
