General Allenby and rendered heroic
assistance in bringing about the re-
ofcapture of Jerusalem and wrestling
the Holy Land from Turkish control
is one of the facts which has pust
come out that was not known before
the announcement today by the Rev.
w. A. Mansur, returned missionary
from Armenia, who is lecturing in be-
half of the United Drive for Relief in
the near East, February 1917.
He further cites the fact that the
Armenian army in the Russian eau
casus made history by it's exploits and
desperate resistance, especially when
in March 1918, it fought, it's way out
of Erivan to Alexandropol after rail
way communications had been cut off
"These peoples who have suffered
at the hands Of the Turk are the po-
tential factors by means of which Oc-
cidental civilization may go into the
Near East and reclaim that portion
of the world to the civilization OF
humanity" declares Rev. Mansur.
Absolute destruction fthe Turk.
ish nation is advocated by Rev. Man
sur, and he is confident that with the
power of the Turk broken, the Armen-
ian, Syrian and other countries under
the domination of the Turk will arise
to establish in the East new era of
civilization such as has dawned in
Europe and prevails in America.
AS an example of Turkish atrocities
witnessed by Rev. Mansur, he tells Of
Turkish soldiers coming into his home
and fogging his aged grandmother on
no preteXt whatever.

Housewives Given Demon

ture. Interesting Future
PROGRAM.

Ray housewives who had been for
tunate enough to secure the services
of Miss Hazel Zimmerman, home DEM
onstration agent, U. S. department of
agriculture, were greatly pleased with
the lecture given at st. David's Guild
on Wednesday.
Miss Louise Holbrook of Washing
ton, D. c., whose official designation
is agent in Dairying," and who is
a recognized authority on the subject,
gave a demonstration and lecture cov-
ering the use and food value of milk,
with it's care, and three methods Of
preparing cottage cheese, whose food
value, until recently, had not been
fully appreciated or understood.
Miss Zimmerman, whose headquar-
ters are at Tucson, was appealed to
by members of the guild to come here
for the purpose of providing Ray
housewives with solutions of their
many problems. In addition to domes-
tic economy (including the various
branches of that science), sewing,
child welfare and management and
kindred subjects dear to the heart of
the progressive homeseeker, will be
covered.
Beginning about February Is, Miss
Zimmerman plans to be in Ray for
several weeks. 1t is proposed to be-
gin the campaign with instructions in
sewing. Three days week will be
given at the Guild house, the remain
ing three days on Boyd Heights. Spe-
cial lectures on the care of clothing,
millinery work and kindred subjects
will be given.

Miss Zimmerman in an interview, sis

particularly to apply to this locality
The problems of the housewife in a

one who requests it. We hope to in

ticularly wish to reach the Mexican
population of Sonora. Attendance at
the lectures and classes is not con.

from the heart of the suffering dis

headquarters Of the United Drive for
Relief in the Near East late yesterday
in the form ofSa cable from the state

This message clearly indicates that
the food situation is, if anything,

not only is food and clothing called

brought about by the oppression of

reads as follows:

ST|NSON'S FLYER
IN THE CANYON

The life of Jim Stinson's Stude-
baker, recently purchased, proved to
be short and merry one.
Aided by Barney Oldfield (whose
right name is James NicoD, the ma
chine was being guided up Boyd
Heights last Sunday, when something
happened. 1t stopped, barked little,
and declined to work for him any
longer. Expert mechanical advice by
John Constine, the application of a
little elbow grease on the crank, and
the Stinson Flyer moved.
The movement was so unexpected
that control of it was not in hand, and
the next moment found the adventur-
Gus spirits (including the machine) in
the canyon below the Methodist
church. To date, rescue of the racer
has not been accomplished, for which
we should all be truly thankful. If
the machine should ever be recovered,
we venture the prediction that the
accident insurance business in this
town will receive a mighty impetus.

LETTER
Of RED CROSS TO
A BEREFT MOTHER

Ray does not need to be told about
the Red Cross. That Rayites are fully
aware of the remarkable work Of that
organization goes without saying; one
has but to consider the amount con-
tributed by Ray to realize that Ray
is with the Red Cross heart, body
and SOUL
One often imagines the Red Cross
as an organization for the relief Of
bodily suffering. This war has demon
strated that it does far more than
that, and the letter below is further
indication of the great good done by
that organization. It was addressed
to Mrs. Amanda Lang, mother of Cor
poral Clyde Johnson, Co. H, 158th
(Arizona) infantry:
4, Place de la Concorde.
Paris, Nov. 13, 1918.
Dear Mrs Lang:
Before this letter reaches you, you
will, no doubt, have received the Off
cia1 notification of the sad death Of
your son, Corporal Clyde Johnson,
162S469, Co. H, 158th infantry.
The home communication depart
ment of the American Red Cross
wishes to give you the comfort that a
few details of his death and illness
may be to you.
Your son was brought to the u. S.
A. Camp Hospital No. on November
9Th, i'll with broncho-pneumonia. Ev-
cry care was given him, but nothing
could save his life; he grew steadily
worse and passed away quietly at 9
o'clock in the evening of Nov. 11th.
You were very near to him during
his last hours, and several times he
tried to get up to look for you. He
talked about you great deal. He
was very good patient and appre-
ciated every little thing that was done
for him. .If

to our hospital, visited him several

balanced diet), sewing, child-welfare
work, will be among the subjects
treated. All Rayites are cordially in
vited to attend"
While it had been planned by Miss
Holbrook to show several reels of
film, produced under the direction Of
the U. S. government, at the Iris the
ater, due to some misunderstanding
and to the fact that Miss Holbrook
could not stay, Rayites missed the
treat The films dealt with the care
of milk, it's value as a food, it's eco
nomical production, the preparation
of cheeses and their value in daily
life, and may be regarded as official
and authoritative.
Miss Holbrook was able to deliver
a lecture at the guild house on
Wednesday, and demonstrated to her
audience three methods of making
cottage cheese. Her lecture was a
summary of data prepared by the gov
ernment for the use of housewives
anent the subjects of milk and cheese.
Her slogan is: "Milk-more milk and
better milk for babies, and cottage
cheese" and her lecture gave con-
vincing proof of her thorough knowl
edge of the subjects. y.
Miss Holbrook's stay in Ray was
extremely short because of her neces-
sity to pay Salt Lake City an official
visit, and return to Washington,
D. c., by February 16. Miss thinner
man was also unable to stay as her
many desk duties at headquarters re-
quire her presence there, but Rayites
may expect her to return about the
middle of February.
Among those who attended the lec-
ture at the guild house were: Mrs.
John Bruce, Mrs. Joe Rogers, Mrs. E.
H. Miller, Mrs. John O'Donnell, Mrs.
AL Emmett, Mrs. e. A. Cowen, Mrs.
j. Plimpton, Mrs. Moses Brown, Jr.,
Miss Clara Hewitt and her domestic
science class, Mrs. L. s. Gates, Mrs.
w. S. Boyd, Mrs. c. A. Smith, Mrs. J.
T. More, Mrs. Grace Moorman, Mrs.
L. J. Oakes, Mrs. Bert Bryant, Mrs. C.
e. Wright, Mrs. L. P. Graves, Miss
Caroline Peterson.
In order to better present the prob
lens of the housewife, home bureau
was organized, with Mrs. ]. T. More
serving as the project leader, and
Mrs. Grace Norman as secretary and
treasurer. One can well understand
that the carrying on of work in
community is dependent upon a close
lyknit, harmonious organization, such
as was effected.

What will be the practical results
of the work of the North Dakota leg
islature? What will be the actual
benefit to the state?
These questions are being asked in
other states today. North Dakota
farmers are notsasking. because they
know.
North Dakota raised last year
250, 000,0 900 bushels of farm produce
principally grain. At present farm
ers are compelled to sell the bulk OF
their grain Immediately after it is
harvested, when the price is always
low. If the terminal elevator and
flour mill system, by preventing all
grain from being dumped upon the
market at once, resulted in raising
the average price only 5 cents a
bushel, that will mean an annual
saving of $12,500,O00 to the farmer.
INTEREST SAVINGS
North Dakota farmers now have
borrowed, on first mortgages, at an
average interest rate of 8.7 per cent
some $780, 100000. If the Bank OF
North Dakota, loaning direct to
farmers money gained from the sale
of state bonds, succeeds in reducing
the average interest rate only l PEI
cent, that will mean an annual saw
ing of 100000 to the farmer.
The railroad rate bill, patterned
after Minnesota's, on the basis OF
present freight movements in North
Dakota will save shippers $8,000,00C
year, according to Attorney James
Manahan. But with lower rates
greater shipments are to be expected
and this fact, Attorney Manahan is
confident will bring the total savings
to $12,000,000 year.

TWENTY YEARS

Five of the leading men in the
American Socialist Party have been
sentenced to twenty years in the
Leavenworth Penitentiary. The
charge against the five was conspir-
acy to create mutiny, insubordina-
ton and refusal of duty, and OBJ
struction of recruiting and enlist
ment.
These five men are Socialists. They
stated SO in Court and told why.
They are opposed to capitalist exploit
tation. They said so and told why.
They want to establish a new order
of society-an order in which work
ers shall own their jobs and enjoy
the product of their labor; an order
Of society in which democracy
shall include the industrial as we'll as
the political institutions of society.
They believe in laying an economic
basis for international brotherhood
by uniting the workers of the world
IN common crusade for emancipa-
ton.
Before the war these men were
Socialists. They held opinions and
expressed them.
During the war they held the same
opinions and continued to express
them.
Since the war they have held and
uttered the same thoughts. -
AS Socialists they were tried and
as Socialists they were condemned to
twenty years in the penitentiary.
Every international Socialist in
the United States was on trial in
chicago. Every woman and man
who stands against exploitation, for
industrial democracy, for internation-
alism and world brotherhood was
sentenced for twenty years when
Judge Lands imposed the savage
penalty upon these five men. Every
Soclailst IN the world is bound until
the five are freed.
Lleoknecht, for high treason, was
sent to prison for six years.
The leaders Of the Italian Socialist
Pi,arty for depressing the morale of
the Italian people" received two and
tnree year sentences.
England and France, for similar
cnenses, sentenced men and women
Tor SIX months, a year, eighteen
months and in a few cases, to as
much as five years. The United
states is without a peer in the fury
with which the rulers have attempted
to punish that portion of the minori-
ty winch dared to hold and to express
opinions contrary to the will of the
master class.
:. The Russselites, for expressing re-
hglous opinion contrary to the will
OF the masters, were sent to Atlanta
for twenty years. The leaders of
the |. ". W., for expressing other

opinions contrary to the will of the
master class, went to Leavenwor,h
for twenty years. The Socialists,
holding still other views and express
ing them contrary. to master class in
terests received the same sentence
twenty years.
Twenty years!
Such sentences are the gage of
battle. They are the challenge of the
ruling class to the plain people of
the United States. They are the call
to new resolve, new effort and new
enthusiasm.
American workers have been easy
going in the past. They are Injured
to economic despotism. They have
endured exploitation and poverty
but twenty years? Will they stand
for twenty years?
NECESSITY
Mother of invention; father of &C
tion-such is necessity. When our
enemies obey this master-voice they
sin; when our friends respond to this
mandate they are TRANSPORTED.
Germany, urging the excuse of
military necessity, crossed Belgium
in order to invade France. In the
face of this necessity, thee treaty
which she violated became "a mere
scrap of paper"
England, pressed by win-the-war
necessity brushed aside her dearest
traditions and established conscrip-
ton.
Congress, bent upon making the
world-safe-for-democracy, felt the ne
cessity for passing the Espionage
Law, under which free speech and
free press have become a memory.
The war-necessity has gone, and
now, behold, new necessity-the
suppression of Bolshevism! Could
the first amendment be forgotten
under the war pressure2 How in
evitable that it should be set aside
once more while another measure is
enacted to meet the dire necessity
that has come with peace.
The Judiciary Committee of the
Senate, by unanimous vote, has re-
ported out a bill designed to accom-
pish this result by. throttling free
speech and free press in peace-time
as the Espionage Act did in war
time. Under his bill, as drafted, it
is crime "to print, publish, sell or
| distribute" any written or printed
communication in which there is adj
vocated or melted "the overthrow by
force OF violence, or by physical in
jury to personal property, or by the
general cessation of industry, of the
government of the United States or
all government" It is also made a
crime to display any flag "5yn,bol-
izing or intended to symbolic" any
of the foregoing purposes.
The bill is not directed against

elevator and flour mill system will
give the state of North Dakota ite
first large industry. It promises to
bring prosperity to some of the verv
cities that have been fighting the
League from the start.
Fair freight rates and develop-
ment of Ignite coal fields will en-
courage other industries to be built
I'D in the state. The value of this To
the state can not be calculated.
Industries, however, are not GOING
to be built up in North Dakota al
the expense of it's citizenship. The
long list of laws for the protection
of labor, as passed by the legislature
guards against this. Labor will be
looked after as it is in no other state
The result will be that North Dako-
ia will have the best class of city
workers in America. North Dakots
will have as high class CITIZENSHIP
in the cities as it now has on tn
farms.
MORE TAXES ON PRIVILEGE
The effect of the new tax laws Of
North Dakota is a mater that car
not be disposed of by stating the
total saving in dollars and cents. II
the case of taxes, it is a problem fol
, each individual farmer. The genera
effect of the North Dakota tax Law
passed by the 1919 legislature is tt
place more of the burden on corpor
atoms, possessors of large income,
and holders Of idle land, taking thi!
burden correspondingly off of thu
shoulders of the active farmer or thu
city worker living in his own home.
The small farmers and home own
ers, who in the past have paid hal
of the taxes of North Dakota, it may
