A Shorf Sketch offhe Early
 History of This Pathetic
 Nation Which May Be inc Ward offhe Unified Sfafes

tppy IlEuls IOlJJ Lue luLeTudLlOudl A@ HE persecution of the Ar1henians A by the Moslems has come at reg A ular intervals for many centuries.
 0 In recent years these onslaughts on this Christian people have attracted the attention of the entire Christian world and protests have been made and measures adopted to prevent the repetition of the dastardly assaults. The willy Turk has always invented some pretext for his crime and has been prolific in his promises of good behavior, but his treacherous nature combined with the bigotry and intoler- ance of his religion has always found some way to resume his prosecutions.
 During the present war the Arme- nians, innocent of any wrong doing, were the victims of 1Ioslem deviltry far more relentless and extensive than any exhibition of harsh treatment in the past. All eyes turned to the Unit ed States for aid and collections were made for the immediate relief of the refugees. It has been seriously sug- gested that in the settlement of the many problems growing out of the war that the unfortunate Armenians may be placed under our protection.
 Early History
 The early history of these people is especially interesting, for Mount Ar arat, where Noah's Ark went aground, is in the center of their land. The Armenians trace their ancestry back to Haig or Haik, the grandson of Japhet. HI descendant Aram, who was called Armenia by the Persians, gave to the race their name-Arme e. nians. Their country at that time ex- tended over fifty thousand square miles and they paid tribute to a line of kings and boasted of a civilization and culture far above the neighbor- ing countries and over a thousand years before Christ they were a dis tinctly Armenian people.
 The Armenians are among the earli-

 But trees are not being planted for those who gave their lives, reports to the American Forestry Association : Washington show. There will be thousands of trees planted in honor of those who offered their lives. The graduating class at Union College. Jackson Tenn, has planted memorial

is of the opinion that it will be
necessary to turn these trophies
over to the various states and
political divisions of our country.
Personally, | feel that these relics
should be distributed as widely
as possible as they will serve to
stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm

of these pieces of ordnance will
have a most beneficial effect on
our citizens. However you may
rest assured that shall do every
thing possible to secure one of the

of North Dakota as their example

what we have done to North
Dakota we expect to do to Mon

not tell us what they did to North
Dakota. We have a little infor-
nation for the benefit of our
readers concerning the manner
in which the Non Partisan League
by its officers in the state of
North Dakota have justly earned
the title of being the most ex-
travagant politicians in the I'm
tied States.
When ToWnley first came forth
with his State saving doctrines,
he told the farmers that they
should not be forced to pay taxes
upon farm Improvements; that
the farmer who had reclaimed a
raw piece of land, cultivated it,
and erected substantial buildings
thereon, and improved same,
should not be penalized for his
industries, and that he should not
pay more taxes than the man who
owned the adjoining land and
upon which no Improvements
were placed. Perhaps the doct-
l,ine vas a good one, but we will
see how it materialized. As soon
as Townley came in power, this

The Montana Non-P Partisan, in
its issue of Nov. 20, has much to
say regarding the statement made
by ]. M. Dixon before the Assoc
iation of County Commissioners
held at Miles City, Montana, on
October 18th. They alle9e he
stated that the cost of admins
trating the State government has
increased from Sl65,OOO in 1890,
to SO, ,704, 900 in 1918.
The Non-Partisan makes no al
loWance whatever for the natural
development of State or its in
stitutions, seeming to believe that
this State should be run for the
same amount of money that it
was twenty years ago, before the
state had made progressive de-
velopment of many of its indus
tries, and public and civic inn
provements. For instance, the
Non-Partisan does not show the
difference in school expenditures
for the year 1890 as compared
with the year 1918. We presume
if they had they would have
pointed out that the money was
absolutely wasted.
In reading the article, one is
forced to conclude that, as they
say, every cent was spent in
criminal wastefullness by the
representatives of Big Interests
that wear a copper collar and are
red-necked politicians In other
words, they convey the idea that
not cent could be spent by any
officer of the State Of Montana
for the benefit Of the people, but
that every cent is spent in their

q have been working for Litchfield's a good many years and of course, I use my teeth most of all when at work. yet they never give me trouble. I tear the manure all to pieces as it comes to me. Litchfields gave me two lengths of teeth-they are not false teeth eith- er-they are so arranged that they intermingle, the longer teeth work 1h inches deeper in the load than the short teeth which follow. They are of the same principle as a cross cut saw which has long and short teeth. The long tooth does the principal cutting and the short tooth that fol- lows removes what is left, giving the next long tooth an opportunity to work without being clogged. That's the reason that no matter how heavy the material is that comes to me, I, Litchfield's Bull Dog" cylinder, never let it get clogged."
