extended to the senator the hos

urged that he be their guest
during his stay here. .

Piled that his manager had made
all plans for his reception, and
that these plans would not be
intcsfercd with. He thanked
Cahil for his solicitude but stata
: ed that he Was 90 fatIgued with
his long ride from Minot that he
did not feel equal to any social
diversions. The remaining menu
bers of the COMMITTEES fled In

CHRISTIAN MARTYRS
KILLED BY TURKS

"Auction of Souls" the sensation
al screen story of Aurora Mardigan-
ian, the only survivor of half a mil
lion young Armenian girls persecut-
ed by the Turks when they ravished
her country, and which is to be pre-
sented at the Majestic Theatre next
Monday and Tuesday, has its opening
scenes laid in the forebodying shad-
ows of Mt. Ararat, which is linked
with some Of the most ancient of hu-
man history. 1t was in the shadow
of this picturesque peak that Aurora
Mardiganian lived with her parents
and a sister and brother, all now
dead, in 1915.
Mt. Ararat, which is more than 16,-
600 feet high, was the mountain on
which the Bible says the ark rested
as the Deluge dropped, and those in
Noah's boat returned to ground. In
latter days the Assyrians were am
bilious to add it to their domains,
and it was the scene of many battles.
The land lying in the region about
Mt. Ararat is unusually fertile, and
therein has been the source of the
persecution of the Armenians. Indus
trious and inclined to accumulate,
they have constantly been tormented,
robbed and ravished by the indolent
and unspeakable Turks.
This persecution reaches its height
in the atrocities of 1915, which are
pictured in auction of Souls"
Based on the story of Aurora Mardi-
ganan, this detailed portrayal of
Turkish heartlessness follows closely
the report of Viscount Bryse, the
eminent Englishman who was made
head of the commission which was ap-
pointed among the Allies to investi-
gate the Turkish treatment of the
Armenians.
Every detail of how this little girls
father, mother, sisters and brothers,
with two million other Christian Ar
menians, were made to suffer before
they died, is shown in such way as
to make Americans feel the true
character of the Turk, ever Christi
anity's scourge.

GIRLS DEFEATED GUYMoN
80 TO 9 FRIDAY NIGHT

The L. H. S. girls basket ball team
made their fourth straight win when
they defeated Guymon last Friday
night by a score of 33 to 8.
The girls have not lost game this
year, having defeated Hugoton,
Hooker, Guymon and the Liberal
teachers, and it is not at all unreG-
sonable to expect them to finish the
season without defeat.
The Guymon game was an easy
one for the girls, and they simply
walked all over the Guymon team. In
fact it is mighty hard to cope with
the excellent team work which Miss
Scandrett has developed in her play
ers. AS individuals they are stars
and they play together like a well
balanced machine.
No other game has as yet been
scheduled for the girls, but Guymon
will come for return game and 9TH
ers may be arranged.
Wen wager a cherry pie against
ten-cent necktie there is not a
girls team in the southwest that can
beat the l.. II. s. girls.

COOPER AND THE MAYOR
REPORT ENJOYABLE TRIP

f.. d. Cooper and w. V. Griffith
returned the first of the week from
a business trip to Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, where they had been called
in consultation on the transfer of a
large tract of land in Southern Ari-
zona. In the transaction John W.
Baughman obtained some sixteen
thousand acres which he expects to
hold and perhaps develop.
The southern portion of Arizona
is now producing large crops of long
staple cotton and other crops raised
in a semi-tropical climate. The soil
of the valleys is exceptionally fertil
and rapid development is taking
place.
after disposing of business trans
actions the boys decided that having
return tickets they could safely spend
a few days sight seeing. They recite
the pleasant experience of viewing
the coast line from an airplane, and
a swim in the salt water (both under
and over the waves) and still not be-
ing satisfied took an ocean voyage to
the Catalina Islands viewing the un-
dersea gardens from the glass bottom
boats and after feeding the fish as
many others do were satisfied to stay
on land.
With Jesse and John W. Baugh-
man they made an auto tour of
southern california, visiting many
Kansas friends and they that the
gardens and orange groves are more
appetizing than salt water.
They made their return trip via
San Francisco and stop over in
Salt Lake City Both declare that
while in the summer climate of Cali
fornia they experienced genuine hay
fever the same as they have here in
July and August, but otherwise en-
joyed the trip beyond measure.
