PIGS AND THE VICTORY LOAN

it was important But I don't really

something about pigs this time but
I'm not sure"
Other girls and some Of ths boys

wondering too but nobody had 4 hint
of what the meeting IVES about so 1t
was no wonder thai, when three
O'Clock came and the various rooms
each marched in their turn into the
fine assembly room. there was an air
of expectancy over the school.
After the children had sung a couple
of patriotic songs. Mr.. Gilbert said.
cot course, you children know what
this meeting is about"---but everybody
looked so surprised that he saw they
hadn't guessed. SO he explained.
You've all seen the Liberty Loan pos

time in honor OF the ending Of the
war--and you've noticed how gay and
pretty they al! are. And you've been
wondering what this school meant to
do about buying bond" The chill

such fine record before they natural

there was another meeting in the big
room and forty pigs were promised
homes Grace and Mildred each took
one and John and his brother Ralph
each took one and other boys and girls
did the same.
II was a great day in the town when
the whole school marched down to
the bank and the lucky forty girls
and boys left their stamps and took
away their pigs, MI. Hancock bought
the ten fifty dollar bonds that same
morning and put them in a safe at the
bank till the pigs would be big enough
TO sell. And the children carried their
pigs home in wagons or carts and left
them each in the proper back yard in
nice little fenced of corners.
Now what's to be done with all
those Liberty Bonds. whether each
child keeps his own half or whether
they will all be given to the school for
new equipment nobody knows a. yet
for that question Is not to be decided

Prudence, Patriotism
and the Victory Loan

The most difficult criticism the
treasury has had to meet in floating
previous popular loans has been the
decline in market value OF the bonds
already outstanding and the proba
bility that the new bonds would like
wise decline. But the terms and con-
ditions of the Victory notes are such
as, IN the judgment Of many bankers
to insure their staying at least at par
and probably selling at a premium at
an early date. Moreover, the fact
that no more Liberf- Bonds are TO
be issued will, il is believed, enhance
the market value of the issues now
outstanding.
Therefore,. in giving the country a
security whose terms, conditions. and
the amount afforded are more at
tractive than was generally expected,
Secretary Glass has supplied the first
element in making the Victory Loan
campaign a success and in keeping
the notes al the highest possible
market value
Upon the Liberty Loan committees
and the public depends the second ele-
ment now imperatively needed TO
secure the widest possible distribution
of the notes, especially among our
growing number Of savers and per
mancnt investors, who in turn will
hold these conservat'vely and steadily.
so that they will not come upon the
market in depressing voium,.

where the limit OF prudence lies.
There are particular reasons why
it is more tho duty of The customers

TURKISH OFFICERS
MURDER INNOCENT
LEADERS NOW CONDEMNED TO
DEATH AND HIDING IN GER
MANY WERE CRUEL

NEW YORK.-Charges that Turk
ish officials decimated the Greek popu-
lation along the Black Sea coast, 25O,-
900 men, women and children living
between Sinope and Ordou, without
the shedding of blood butsby "parboil-
ing the victims in Turkish baths and
turning them half clad out to die of
pneumonia or other ills in the snow
| of an Anatolian winter, are made in
| a letter from DR.. George E. White,
representing the American Committee
for Relief in the near east, made pub
lie here today.
Sinope was the birthplace of the
philosopher Diogenes, DR.. White re-
calls and Ordou is just beyond Cape
Jason, which is still preserved in
memory of the Argonauts and the
Golden Fleece The letter, written
to Professor J. P. Xenides, secretary
of the Greek relief committee here,
described the new method of ridding
the land of it's inhabitants which, it is
said, was somewhat different from
that employed by the Turks against
the Armenians.
The worst of the crimes laid to the
Turks, according to DR.. White, were
committed in the winters of 1916 and
1917 when orders were issued for the
deportation of the Greeks along the
Black Sea coast. The people, he wrote,
were crowded into the steam rooms
of the baths in Chorum under the pre-
tense of Sanitary regulations" and
after being tortured for hours were
turned out of doors into snow almost
knee-deep, and without lodging or
food. Their garments, which had been
taken from them for fumigation, were
lost, ruined or stolen. Most of the
victims, ill-clad and shivering, con-
tracted tuberculosis and other pull
monary diseases and "died in swarms"
on the way to exile, the letter de-
clared. ]
DR.. White said that in the province
of Bafra, where there were more than |
$4,000 village Greeks, now less than
$4,000 survive and every Greek settle
ment has been burned. The number
of orphans, including some Armenian
and Turkish children in the entire dis
trict, it is said, aggregated 10000.
Since the armistice, the doctor wrote,
many of the deportees have been re-
turning to their ruined homes.

NORTHWEST SHOW
MEN FORM CIRCUIT
KENWORTHY THEATRE WILL
HANDLE PICTURES FOR MOS
COW-BIG PLAYS COMING

SPOKANE.-A new alignment of
northwestern moving picture exhibit
ors, known as the Northwestern Ex-
hibitors' Circuit, Inc, already control
ling 125 theatres was announced yes
terday by DR.. H. S. Clemmer of the
Clemmer and Hippodrome manage
ments on his return from the Coast
| The Clemmer holds the Spokane fran
chise under the new management.
James @. Clemmer of Seattle, a
brother of the Spokane manager, is
president and treasurer of the new
corporation and H. B. Wright is man
ager and secretary The object of
the corporation is to buy special films
for the use of all the theatres in the
circuit and it already is in position
to take the big features for 800 days.
The circuit has already closed for all
the offerings of the new United Art
lists corporation, which includes all
the pictures of Douglas Fairbanks,
Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and
David Wark Griffith. The first of
these will be released in September.
''All pictures now, virtually, are on
the open market" said DR.. ClemmeT
yesterday. "This means that we can
contract for individual pictures with
out taking the entire product, good
and bad, of any company. The circuit
will bargain collectively for all the
theatres in its membership. An ex-
amining board, elected by the men,
bers, will view all the pictures Of
fered, and will recommend their pur-
chase or rejection. The organization,
it is hoped, will improve the standard
of the pictures offered by the fran
chise holders. 1t is not the intention
to take stars away from theatres in
city where these have become estab
lished, possibly in house that does
not hold the franchise. That, how
ever will be matter of adjustment
between the franchise holder and the
other theatre"
Mr.. Wright and Mr.. Clemmer are
coming to Spokane for conference
next Wednesday with Inland Empire
Invitations are being sent
to all of them and 80 are expected at
the session at the Davenport. A
luncheon will be part of the entertain
ment. While the circuit already in
cludes 125 theatres in Montana, Ida
ho, Washington and Oregon, it is
hoped to extend its field considerably.
From Spokane the officials will go to
Butte and Boise and later to Portland
before returning to Seattle.

EMPLOYMENT OFFICE
DOES BIG BUSINESS
L. F. PARSONS STATES THAT
MANY MEN ARE PLACED
HAS MEN AND TEAMS

The local shortage of labor to har-
vest the grain crop seems to have
past, and for the time being there
appears to be plenty of help avail
able to meet all harvest needs.
l.. F. Parsons, who is voluntarily
keeping the local employment office
since the U. S. Employment service
went out of business, in speaking of
the labor situation and outlook said:
"Last week men were scarce for
harvest jobs. This week there are
more men than jobs. A considerable
number of men are coming in from
the lower country and we have been
unable to place all men seeking har-
vest work. Twelve men were placed
during Monday and Tuesday, out of
twenty-five men available. We have
three men who are seeking positions
as engineers with threshing crews;
also men with teams who desire to
work in harvest or with threshing
crews.
Calls have been received from the
U. S. Forest Office at Orofino and
Kooskia for $50 firefighters, at 35
cents an hour with board and trans
portation furnished. Twelve men
have been sent out on these calls
during the past week.
A call has been received from White
Bros. & Crum, the large orchardist
and fruit shippers of Lewiston for
fruit pickers. They are offering $3.50
per day and board and can use boys,
women and girls for this work.
Engineer Monahan, who has charge
of the engineering work for the sever
al highway districts in this section,
is in need of engineering help. He
can use four transit men, two level
men and four craftsmen.
While there is a surplus of harvest |
help at this time shortage can be |
as soon as threshing is
in full blast A considerable num-
ber of men now in the harvest fields
will go with the machines and harvest
hands will be needed to take care of
The. spring crop which will be coming
IN shortly.
