Extra Pay For
-, Army Veterans

There are still many ex-army men
who served abroad after July II. 1919.
who have not vet claimed the addition
al foreign service pay which has been
granted them and to which they. are
entitled Either they are not aware Of
the fact that it is due them Or are too
happy over being out of tue service to
care about little thing like the amount
granted.
The increase was created on July II,
when by an act of Congress, the war
time pay was made permanent. By
this act the 20 per cent increase on
peace time pay which was given to
men in foreign service was made to ap-
ply to the full amount Of pay at the
new rate.
Privates will benefit most by the in
crease, they having received the grea t.
est increase for war time servic. AS
their pay was raised SIS they will, by
the new act. be paid 20 per cent Of $15
or three dollars for every month of
foreign service after July II, 1919.

HINT FOR POTATO
GROWERS OF 1920.

The present price of potatoes does
not Indicate anything about the price
OF the 1920 crop, according to W. l.
Cavert, farm management extensionist
at University farm, for the reason that
the weather is the big facor in deter
mining prices rather than the acreage.
During the last 20 years. says Mr..
Cavert. 1.-The yield of potatoes has varied
from IS to la bushels to the acre on
account Of weather conditions. while
from one year to another the acreage
seldom varies more than Is per cent
for the United States as whole.
Frequently high price years are fol-
lowed by an increased acreage. If the
weather is unusually favorable. the re-
suit is serious over-production and
Improbable price
THE wise course would seem to be
to plant no more than the usual acre
age; but to take every precaution to
insure return from the high priced
seed by planting on only the most suit
able soil, by treating the seed with
formalin or bluestone and by giving
particular attention to- thorough cult
walton and timely spraying"

Old Indian Donates

It is interesting to learn that Chief
John Smith, Of Cass Lake, resident Of
Minnesota for 100 years, when told of
the helpless suffering Armenians, re-
sponded with crumpled five dollar bill.
"For hundred and thirty years I have
not been hungry or lacked clothing"
said Chief Smith. Take the five dol
lars for these people. John Smith
doesn't want to see them go hungry" C.

rector Of the Near East Relief, report
ed last week in his campaign for funds

Conditions in Armenia
In Pictures and Words

Inc lecture on Armenia by DR.. West
enberg at the High School Auditorium
last Friday evening was we'll attended.
DR.. Westenberg was introduced by Rev.
A. L. Tollevs, chairman of the Marshall
County committee for Armenian xelief.
The picture that DR.. Westenberg drew
OF conditions in the benighted country
that has just been freed from Turkish
rule. was dark indeed. And then when
we consider that all the suffering and
persecution that these people have had
to endure for centuries, has come be-
cause they cling to their Christian faith
and will not embrace the Mohamedan
belief, then their steadfastness and
sturdmesS OF character is still more to
be admired. Their Christianity ante
dates both the Catholic and Protestant
churches, according to. the speaker.
England, the speaker said, is largely
responsible for the conditions in Ar
menia, as it has been the policy of
British statesmen to protect the sultan
and use him as buffer against Russia.
The films that DR.. Westenberg threw
on the screen after his address told
even more wildly about. the conditions
in Armenia and the suffering from
hunger, cold and filth Of her people,
especially the children. Were it not for
the relief that is extended to the peo-
pie by the American Relief Commission,
many more would have persisted. If
this aid should cease now, the deaths
from starvation would stagger the
world.
4 campaign for funds to help these
people will be started all over the
United States in May. Marshall coun-
ty people will be asked to contribute
and will no doubt give their share as
usual. Rev A. Z. Tollevs has charge
of the campaign in this county.

A Different Time

The daylight saving middle contin-

of great railroad running part of its
trains according to one system and the
rest according to the other. Thus the
five o'clock express and the six O'Clock
local leave the terminal at the same
time. The uncertainty, Inconvenience
and frequent actual loss that are thus
being imposed upon the public are great
beyond computation. They will prob
ably continue, however, until this
