ARMENIAN MANDATE
Council to Ask Wilson to
Arbitrate Boundaries Of
New Republic.

San Remo.-The supreme council de-
cided to ask President Wilson to arbi.
trate the boundaries OF the new repub-
lie Of Armenia. The council awarded
a mandate for Mesopotamia and Pales-
tine 20 Great Britain and mandate
for Syria to France.
The supreme council also has sent
q formal request TO President Wilson
that the United States government
take the mandate for Armenia.
There seems TO be division on the
part OF the council as to whether the
region OF Erzerum and It's vicinity
should be Included In the territory OF
the Armenian republic The Turkish
nationalists are strongly claiming
Erzerum for themselves.
In placing Palestine under a Brit.
fish mandate the council established
within the ancient limits of the Holy
Land what Is called. 'the national
home Of the Jews"
The terms OF the mandate protect
the national rights Of Jewish citizens
OF other countries. That is to say.
Jew of American, British, French or
other nationality may retain his ma
tionality, although he is also a citizen
OF the state OF Palestine. The rights
of Arabs also are protected, there be-
ing 100000 in Palestine and 100000
Jews.

hunter and fisherman, and loves to
recall an incident in which he excel
led in gun craftsmanship with Mich

named in school histories, the match

Fenton was first to shoot at the mark.

target squarely. When the Indians
turn came to try, all he did was to
remark, 81 can't beat him. | won't
shoot"
While a century old Grandpa Fen
ton is still able to get about the
house with the aid of a chair. He can
read fine print in good daylight, and
enjoys to keep tab on the current
events and likes and reads stories,
etc.
Mr.Fenton has two sons, Clarence,
of Downing, and Edward, Of Freder-

HERE'S THE PLAN

On April 10 next, board Of judges
consisting of Secretary OF War Bek-
err, General Peyton c. March and
General John j. Pershing, will an
nounce to the awaiting juvenile world
the names of three boys or girls VINO
on Feb. 20, 1920, wrote the best es-
says on the subject: "What are the
benefits of an enlistment in the U. s.
Army"
Then on May 5, 1920, these three
bows or girls, accompanied by parents
or guardians (railroad fares and all
expenses paid to Washington and re-
turn for both winners and parents),
will be presented with medals by
Secretary Baker himself.
Gold medal, suitably engraved, to
winner of the first prize.
Silver medal, suitably engraved, to
winner of the second prize.
Bronze medal, suitably engraved, to
the winner of the third prize.
In addition, three beautiful silver
cups, suitably engraved, will be pre-
sented to the winners by Secretary
Baker to be carried back home by
them as prizes for the schools they
attend.
The contest is under the auspices
of the War Department but the news
paper. Come Back, the official organ
of the Walter Reed Hospital in Wash
ington, asked permission to purchase
the prizes. This permission was
granted and the school children are
really competing for prizes that were
provided by manned and injured sol
diers now at Waiter Reed Hospital.
There is no age limit in this con-
test and the little seven year old
girl in Santa Barbara, California, has
the same chance of winning prize
as has the nineteen year old high
'lool boy of Baltimore.
New York state has many times
the number of school pupils that Ne
vada has, yet the chance of producing
winners in each Of these states is eX-
actly the same.
Essays will be written in the class
rooms on Friday, Feb. 20, 1920, from
notes, if desired.
No essay will be more than four
hundred words in length.
Pencil, or pen and ink may be used
but the essay viii be written on only
one side of the sheet.
Essays will be judged strictly on
a basis Of q originality, ~ eX-
preston, 90 sincerity.
Each school will be the Judge Of
its own product. The principal Of
each school viii appoint board Of
three judyes to select one essay as
the entry from his school. He will
then forward the entry, not later than
Feb. q, 1920, to the army recruiting
station nearest his school. In thu
territory the essays will be address
to, The Recruiting Officer, U. S. Ar
my, 311 Nicollet ave-, Minneapolis
Mimi
The District Recruiting Officer will
appoint a board of three judges to
pass on the essays submitted by the

LIGHT CONTROL LATEST
INVENTION FOR AUTOS

An automobile light control is tho
invention OF two men who have spent
many years in the Edison laboratory
at West Orange, N. J. often a car
is left standing on the street in the
afternoon and the owner does not
get back in time TO turn on the lights
at the time required by law.
These two men could see no good
reason why an automobiles lights
should not be switched on and off
automatically. according to the mod
ern practice OF show window lights
and time switch, so they have invent
ed a contact device that can be set
for any time by means OF little
knob and connections can be made
with any circuit which is to be con-
trolIed, such as the DINNER switch,
parking lamp switch. and so on.
