menian- Syrian Relief Campaign, as

menian-Syrian Relief Campaign, as
church day. Sermons in practically
every church in the State will take
on the nature of an appeal for the
suffering millions of these countries
in which Christianity was born, and
which because of their defense of
their faith, have been the victims of
the merciless Turk since 1875.
Armenia, has been subjected to
devastation and her people to per-
secution and massacre so long and
so persistently, that she has become
static symbol of suffering. Her
very name, Armenia; is to most pec-
pie synonymous with the word "mas-
sacre."
Christian Armenia willingly and
generously put at Gods disposal it's
country;s best manhood and the ques-
tion which is being put to the Chris
tian people of North Dakota is this,
"Can we now fail Him when only a
trifling sum Of money is requested
of US to finish the task Of deliverance
from Turkish tyranny?"

CHECKER COLUMN
Edited Especially for the Williston
Graphic by r. r. Rutledge

A very enjoyable evening was spent
at the home of Theo Settle, March
14th when a score of Williston
Checkerists assembled to match their
skill at the silent game. Mr.. Percy
Clifford carried high honers in the
major tournament, Mr.. Theo Settle
finishing second and Mr.. Hitchcock
third. The following is the score of
the major tournament:
Clifford 80, Theo Settle 20, Hitch
cock %, Owens 26, Hildreth "a, Da-
wilson 20, Trainor 10, Metzger 10,
Thos. Murphy 1s, w. J. Kelly 1S, Ike
16, and George Leonhardy Is.
D. A. Rutledge, J. B. Settle, J.
Gardner, P. Mcintyre, w. Calvert and
r. r. Rutledge could not qualify in
the major tournament so they held
a tournament of their own which re-
suited in the following scores: D. A.
Rutledge II, j. B. Settle IL, J. L..
Gardner 10, P. Mcintyre 9, r. R. Rut-
ledge. 9, and w. Calvert 8.
Mr.. Calvert said, "that his poor
showing was due to his having to
play on too flashy a board and his
long ride to attend this tournament
Peter Mcintyre said, "he never could
play his best in a room where there
were a great number playing and also
complained about having to play left
handed.
Mr.. Gardner said his poor showing
was due. to bad cold and too small a
checker board. J. B. Settle complain
ed about leaving his checker spec
tacles at Fargo and also said that in
as much as the tournament was held
at his sons home that it was not
proper to take the lead.
r. r. Rutledge stalled around for
an excuse and finally laid his poor
showing onto the refreshments. He
said that in a real tournament he
never eats at all and lets alone eat
ing candy and everything. ..~4 u...
D.. A. Rutledge who was the win
ner had little to say. However, he
did remark that he had never seen
the bunch in as good fighting trim as
on this OCCASION. .s..

Relief Expedition


New York the other day with whis
ties blowing and people on the shore
cheering and waving, there was on
board of that gigantic almost hu-
manly throbbing vessel, a group of
two hundred and fifty hunanitarians,
our representatives, and Armenian
Syrian Relief Expedition, who are
to administer relief to the unfor-
tunate people of the Near East.
Among them were Red Cross nurses,
doctors, food administrators with a
complete equipment to succor the
needy. This group symbolizcd the
spirit of America,-helping the 9TH
er fellow. America secured Liberty
and Peace for the world. The peo-
pie of America are going to see that
those who have suffered from tyran-
ny and strife in the past, will enjoy
this newly found and secured free
dom and happiness.
Just because the Armenian-Syrian
Relief Expedition has sailed, it does
not mean that the campaign is over.
They go as our warrior crusaders
went forward during the war sup
ported by the people left behind. They
go now, for if they waited another
day even, many thousand more peo-
pie in the Near East would die. They
go, knowing that we are behind them.
Before God, we cannot fail in our
duty.

INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR, SENDS
 A CABLE MESSAGE
Of Great interest and import
 ance to Residents of Alaska
Tacoma, Washington,
 February 26.

The big revenue bill has been signed by the President and it became law February 9. lnven- tories for the purpose of the tax on tobacco and lioHors must there fore be taken asof February 25th. The inventory blanks have al- ready been mailed and the blank s for the sworn returns which must be forwarded to the collector, with the inventory and remit tance for the amount of tax due are being mailed today. Income tax blanks for individuals having a net income of not over &5000 co for the year 1918 were mailed to Alaska on February l5. The blanks for the larger individual incomes and for corporations will be mailed out as soon as they ar rive from Washington, D. C.. which will probably be about March 1. If the income tax blanks do not arrive in time to permit filing a complete formal return by March 15, which is the due date, taxpayers may forward an informal statement showing as nearly as possible thc net in- come received during 1918, and the amount of tax due thereon and accompany the statement with remittance to cover. Alas kans who find it physically im- possible to get their income tax payments into the collector s hands by March Is should accept their returns and payments when transmitted to the collector of in- ternal revenue, Tacoma, Wash., with an explanation of the delay in order that they may avoid the penalties which the law imposes for delinquency.

FIREME MS ANNUAL BALL
 BIG SUCCESS

HE FIT! i 1!
 Ar event in Wrangell which k looked forward to from one year to the next is the annual fyemen's ball.
 By common consent Washing tons birthday is a date always reserved for the Nraneell Fire Department, and the fire boys never fail to celebrate the day Cor rather the nighO in a manner that gives unmistakable evidence that they are glad that the Father of His Country" lived, and that he was born on the 22nd instead of the 18th of February.
 This year the freuen's ball was an occasion for great rejoic- ing, not alone because George Washington made the Declaration of Independence a reality, but also because a number of our sol dier boys who left home to fight to make the world a safe place for democracy had returned safely to their relatives and friends.
 Seldom, if ever, has the Red mems hall been more beautifully decorated than on this occasion. From the center of the ceiling overhead streamers were sus- pended to the walls. On each wall there was a row of Japanese lanterns, lantern being placed at the end of each streamer. But the decoration that attracted the most attention was the fire appar- atus in front. There was a hose cart, a pair of ladders crossed, helmets, lanterns, axes, etc.
 The musicians occupied a posi- tion behind the fire apparatus which almost hid them from view but the delightful music which flooded the hall disclosed the identity of the North Star orches- tra. which was good when it was organized and gets better all the time.
 All numbers were enjoyable but the moonlight waltzes were es- pecially popular The moon" which furnished the moonlight was suspended drum containing an electric bulb. The lunar effect was enchanting. and happy hand clapping consistently called for more each time the 'moon' was in evidence.
 The order of dances was so ar- ranged that there was plenty of variety, and not one dull moment from start to finish, the finish not taking place until , a. m.
 The lunch was in charge of high school girls who served the guests in a most pleasing and sat- isfactory manner.
 The affair was well planned. and it was so well carried out that every one pronounced it a brilliant success. The committee in charge was composed of E. A. Lindman, Nicholas Lemieux, and Lloyd Dalgity. The financial re- turns were as follows:
 Gross receipts. .$122. 35 Expenses ............... ....... ......... 45. 75 Net proceeds, .................... ...... $76.6
