control the stockmen were
charged $44.OO a ton for hay and
$3.50 a bushel for corn. BY sue
cessive steps the charge for hay
was reduced to $500 a ton and
for corn to $500 a bushel. As
Stunning that the prices would
have remained at the high figure
unless the Commission had taken
action. the saving on hay actually
supplied in the. first four months
is figured at $l2O.954.O0 and on
corn at Sill. 10000. A further saw
ing of 81 10000 was made pos
sible by installing a so-called
"dinky" scale for weighing single
ANIMALS or small lots of livestock.
The large scales in general use
are graduated only to 10 pounds,
and on that account often work
against the shipper of small lots
and make losses possible.

Editor Bjornson. the forceful
writer Of the Minneota Mascot
who as rule writes lengthy and
deep-thinking articles last week
wrote in a rather humorous tone
on the passing of John Barley
corn as follows:
Last Friday John Barleycorn
died at his home in the United
States.
He was born beyond the seas
and came to America. like so
many Of our other FIRST families"
on the Mayflower.
Considering the family record
Of the Barleycorns. John wss not
old. He had been ailing for some
time and the shock of the war
was too much for him. He took
to his bed shortly after America
entered the war and he never raj
lied. but passed away peacefully.

BUSINESS. at an early hour Friday
morning.
If left to himself John wasn't
a bad fellow. There was a great
deal of warmth and cheer and
good-fellowship in him and he
was quite impartial in distribut-
ing his favors.
The people misunderstood him
and blamed him for things that
he was not to blame for. His
friends had way of abusing him
shamefully and then it was that
he would get mad and cause the
house to shake with the kick
that there was in him. Treated
civilly. or left alone, he was a
quiet. harmless. easy-going chap.
He never thrust himself on any
one and he had a way Of making
his personality repellent to the
stranger who sought for the first
time. to gain his confidence. His
acquaintance had to be cultivated
before he would really loosen up.
1t can be said Of him that when
his friends were sick he visited
them and when they died he
often came to those who mourn
ed. with comfort.
But. friendly as he was to

Carlton Mutual in Gosnl shape.

Shrtt"" MuIuNs IN sstNhi Nhape.
The eighteenth annual meeting
of the Carlton County Farmers
Mutual Fire Insurance company.
held here this week, indicated
that the company. despite heavy
losses from the great fire, is
weathering the financial storm
and will be able to pay all losses.
President T. M. Ferguson en-
phasized that a year ago. at it's
annual meeting. the company
had claims against it amounting
to Sl37 900, that it now has paid
9% of the claims. and that
the amount it is reasonably sure
to get from the state insurance
companies relief fund, together
with what it can collect from
delinquent members. will enable
it to pay its big losses in the
1918 fire in full.
Charles A. Marks was elected
to succeed himself as a director
for three years: Charles E.
johnson of Mahtowa was elected
in place Of Peter Hard. who had
resigned. The members adopted
. resolution that the company
join the Federated Farm Mutual
Insurance company. which will
protect the members of mutual
companies from excessive losses
in case of big fires. A resolution
was adopted thanking the mutual
companies of the state for aid
given this company in the last
year. - Starr Gazette.

ARMENIAN REFUGEE
IN MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 28.-
Broken in health and bearing on
her right thumb the red tattoo
mark identifying her as a Mo-
hammedan slave. Vartanousch
Karagheusian. a 2O-year-old Ar
menian girl, arrived here a few
days ago with her brother. John
N. Karagheusian. a wealthy rug
dealer of Minneapolis. whom she
has not seen in twelve years.
The girl reached New York
several days ago. the first to
reach America of the victims of
the Turkish deportations of 1915
Is, when thousands of Armenian
and Syrian women were driven
from their homes to Aleppo. She
arrived in this country with Mar
shall Ingalls, Mays of Topeka.

Theaters, automobile rides,
pretty clothes and all the COM
forts of one of the city's biggest
hotels have failed to bring a
smile of pleasure to the girls
lips. When she met her brother
she broke into a fit of hysterical
weeping and. despite his efforts
to amuse her. the veil of sadness
remains.
"She does not realize she is in
Minneapolis" her brother said,
she thinks she is in heaven"
Vartanousch will be sent to
school here in an effort to help
her forget the horrors that have
aged her much beyond her years.
her brother said. Her digestive
organs have been seriously i'm
paired by her privations while
in the hands of the Turks and
her diet consists wholly of liquid
food. with small bits of bread.
Miss Karagheusian was driven
from her home with all her rela-
tives in 1915. From July until
October they were kept on the
road by the Turkish guards.
Their only food was vegetation
found in the fields along the way.
One by one the refugees drop

was the first to go and died in
her arms. She alone of the ia

march. Through the help of a
girl friend the captive found
work in a Turkish hospital at the
Zahleh base and she nursed the
wounded there for several
months. When the British
captured Jerusalem she made her
escape to the British lines.
While working in a soup
kitchen she met an Armenian in

PIONEER HOME AGAIN ASKING
 FOR BIDS

Another attempt will be made to construct the $65,OOO addition to the Pioneer Home. The board of directors of state institutions is still hopeful that the right of way for a public road between the city and the home can be secured.
 The construction of the addition has been made contingent by the state upon the regulation of the right of way matter by the city of Prescott Considerable work has been done by the city council on the matter but, to date no announcement has been made of anything morrc substantial than progress"
 Bids have been asked for by the board of directors of state institu- tious for Pioneers Home according to revised appropriation for the an- mex which would have doubled the capacity of the home The amount of the appropriation was $65,O0O and that would have been sufficient at that time, not only for building the annex, but for furnishing it, as was contemplated by the bill.
 This appropriation did not become available until July, and immediately the commission had the plans prepared and asked for bids.In the meantime the prices of materials had so far advanced that the costs of the work could not be brought within the appropriation so Lhat all bids were rejected.
 As the home is now filled, the commission could not await action by the next legislature. It therefore had the plans revised in such form that conception may be carried out when money is available, but in the meantime room must be made for such applicants as there may be.

SERMON ON MOUNT
 IS COMPREHENSIVE
 DISCOURSE ON LIFE
(From Tuesday's DaiIvl


 Excerpt From Sermon by Rev. I. A. Wailes At The West Prescott Methodist Church, Sunday Morning, August 29.
 Text, Mathew 5:13;16 Chrisfs teaching on the mount is wonderful ly complete because he is setting forth the underlying principles of life.
 Simplicity, system, progression and completeness mark the whole ds- course. Christian character is shown in verses 1-9; our reward under pre- secution, verses 1O-12; our relation to the world, verses 13-15 and our duty to God our fellow men in verses 16.
 Our relation to the world is both active and passive: there is seen and an unseen influence Salt and light represent the two: Salt is to season, SdhC anu dfClG uSNdyJ IL 4S d SIlGllt but potent potent influence Salt is Sodium and Chloride: a base and an active principle Salt cannot save that which is already deeayed. So only Christ can save sinners: christians can preserve what Christ has saved.
 Light is a seen as salt is an un- seen force. Christ, the central Sun, gives us light. We have no light apart from him. Like the moon the earth often eclipses us. If the light in us be darkness, how great is that darkness
 You are city on hill, seen and giving influence; a city to control life, or a city of the dead. You are to let your light shine-that is, keep conditions right. It is to so shine for a definite purpose, that men may See and glorify your Father in heav- en. The whole thought of the text is "Life in relation to God and ouf fellow man."
