CHRISTIANS IN
 TURKEY ARE N
 FEAR OF TURKS

. DIARBEKIR. Turkey (P)-Fear of the further. massacres is causing numbers of Christians in this region to abandon their homes and seek safety in the territory occupied by the British, whose nearest post is at Ourfa.
 For days there has been a steady procession of carriages, containing families with all their possessions, on the road to the southwark Many of them are headed for Aleppo which means hot, dusty journey of sev- eral hundred miles across the plain.
 The immediate cause of this exodus of Christians is the attitude of their Moslem neighbors, coupled with the notorious reputation that Diarbekir won for itself in the massacres and 1 Ideportations few years ago, but back of it is a feeling of restless l ness because of the fact that months have passed since the armistiCe, and as yet nothing has been done to guar antee the security of the non-Mos- lem population
 The Near East Relief, the Ameri can organization which is distribut- ing aid to the survivors of the mas sacres thru station In Diarbekir, has succeeded in obtaining assur- ance from the authorities that the Christians will not be molested by the government, and that they may resume their occupations. This as surance, however, applies only to the authorities, and means that the Christians are only to consider that if disorders begin, they will not, at least, be at the open instigation of the government. It does not entirely promise protection, and therefore the Christians, afraid that the Moslems may turn against them at any mo ment, are electing to seek safety in flight.
 i The situation is having it's effect on the work of the relief organiza- tion in recovering the Christian girls who were carried off, during the de- portations, to Moslem harems. This work has been going on for weeks, the relief workers being undismayed ! by the thot of personal peril, Now, however, the Moslems are threaten | ing the girls with death if they per init themselves to be rescued, and many of them are afraid to leave their masters.
 Large numbers of these girls re- main to be recovered In the early months of 1915 about 68,000 Chris tians were exiled from Diarbekir, and from their ranks were taken hun dreds of the pretuest young women
 Even some of those who escaped, and remained hidden in the vicinity thru out the deportations, later sold themselves to the Turks, confronted as they were with the alternative
 of doing this or of starving to death. The condition of these Christian girls lis one of the most tragic problems lthat confront the relief workers who
 state that many of the girls, in their
 shame have killed the children of
 their Moslem fathers.

WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE?
FIRST PRIMARY 23RD
ELECTORS, DELEGATES FOR
EACH POLITICAL PARTY
TO BE CHOSEN

Don't overlook the fact that there
will be a primary election in all pre-
cincts 1T the usual polling places OF
Friday, April %. There will be
chance for the members of each rec.
ognized party to vote for four pres
idential electors, whose names go or
the ballot at the November election
and eight delegates to the nationa.
party conventions.
The primary law has been amend
ed and worked over until there is
much confusion concerning it, but
the final court decision says that
county and state candidates will not
be nominated until August.
The April primary is supposed to
afford an opportunity for voters to
express their choice for president.
1t is very probably that not many
names will appear on the primary
ballots but presumably a name may
be written. The following concern
ing the primary is clipped from an
exchange:
On April % there will be nomin-
ated four presidential electors, one
for each representative in congress,
and eight delegates to the national
convention of each political party.
There will be no %alternates.
The candidates for these offices
must be nominated by petition. They
must file their candidacy with the
secretary of state, secure their petit
tions, have them circulated and
signed, after which these petitions
are filed with the secretary of state.
All this must be done at least 20
days before the primaries.
The names of candidates for the
office of president will not appear on
the ballot unless they have been
nominated by petition in this state.
No convention will be held until
after the state and county primaries
on August "a, when the candidates
who have been nominated for the
various offices will meet and adopt
their platform.
The four presidential electors to
be chosen in April will be voted on
in November as formerly, the April
being nominative as far as
presidential electors are concerned,
but elective as to delegates to the
national conventions.

The Literary Digest is putting on
the biggest presidential straw vote
ever attempted. Eleven million bal
lots will be sent direct to individuals
all over the country with the request
to vote it themselves and not give it
away. Studious impartiality is shown
in the get up of the cards-13 dem
ocrats on one side, 13 republicans on
the other and Herbert Hoover in the
middle, the names of these possibili-
ties being alphabetically arranged.
Blank lines offer a chance to write
in names. If even half of the H.
100000 respond, the choice of the
country will be fairly well reflected
before the conventions are held.

OVERALLS ARE STYLE FOR
WILLISTON BUSINESS MEN

Overalls have become the fashion
in Williston. One hundred fifty
business and professional men have
formed a club agreeing to wear over
alls on all occasions except on Sun
days and to social functions. The
idea is to lessen the demand for high
priced clothing and is working to
perfection. Bankers, clerks, doctors
lawyers, ministers and storekeepers
appear on the street daily clad in
blue or khaki overralls. A mar
dressed in a high priced suit of clo-
thes looks very much out of place on
the business streets of the city.
The Herald is the buyers guide.

LOW COST OF THINKING

The cost of living will not go down
permanently til the use of gray mat
ter goes up, is the somewhat startling
but nevertheless sensible suggestion
of William Mather Lewis, national
director of the Savings Division of
the United States Treasury Depart
ment, in a timely and convincing ar
ticle on "The Low Cost of Think
ing" Mr.. Lewis points out that so
long as the American people are con-
tent to delegate their thinking to a
select few, "that select few will run
matters to suit their own personal
ends" and that 'the average Amer
lean does not function above the
shoulders" Mr.. Lewis reminds us
that the war took millions of men

LATEST STYLE IN PUBLICITY

B. C. Whites idea of putting on a
publicity campaign for his candidacy
for governor, if carried out as an
nounced by his secretary, Herbert
M. Peet, is sure to make quite a hit
with the newspaper boys, regardless
of party affiliations. In a letter that
is doubtless sent to all the papers of
the state, Mr.. Peet says:
'Mr. White, being a sensible bust
ness man and a thorough believer in
newspaper publicity, will make the
greater part of his appeal to Mon
tana Democrats through newspapers.
While he appreciates any voluntary
mention editors may make of him,
he is not asking that his campaign
be carried on by the grace of gratu-
itous publicity. He believes that
candidates for office have no right
to seek "free write-ups"-no matter
how clever their ideas along this line
may be. Mr.. White will pay for all
of the publicity that is sent from this
office and hopes thereby to set a pace
that will force other candidates to
do likewise.
81 have been instructed to place
the advertising in those papers which
will bring the most returns-whether
the paper is Democratic or Repub-
lican editorially,-and I have been
further instructed to advise the edi-
tors that Mr.. White does not expect
to influence any newspapers policy
toward him with this advertising"
In these days when the mails are
loaded with bushels of beautifully
worded copy and prepaid plate (un-
accompanied by suggestions of
checks), boosting Blink or Jinx, or
some other favorite "For President"
a noise like the above listens like
beefsteak for supper.

CHAPTER ~.
The First Encounter.

Next morning Hilary drove slowly
through his property. He noticed with
approval splendid growth of white
try; Hilary had already come to that
conclusion. and to this: that, properly
worked and managed, the st. Boniface
tract had the possibilities of consider
able profits. perpetual ones. If he cut
wisely and carefully.
After driving at a slow pace for half
an hour he emerged into little
burned-over district. from which he
could see for good distance on every
side of him. He stopped the pony and
looked about him, trying to get his
bearings.
The road must run down to the
gorge, where was the main way be-
tween the mill and the interior Of the
selgniory. Hilary decided.
He drove on again. The track had
been disused that season and was over
grown with creeping raspberry briers,
which made progress difficult. Sud-
denly the underground fell away. and
the road ran upward again, hard and
firm. toward bridge that spanned a
wide creek tributary to Rocky river.
Now Hilary knew where he was. 1t
was the creek which he had passed
that morning when he drove out with
Connell to inspect the seigniory.
He was about to continue his way
along the main road to the mill. but an
impulse urged him to turn the horse
about and seek the road that led to Le-
blancs old concession. Presently he
heard the sound Of axes among the
trees. He came upon the clearing, to
find the old camp still standing, and a
great pile OF newly hewn timber
stacked up under the trees.
At Hilary's appearance two or three
men looked up from the logs which
they were saving and whispered. They
seemed to draw together. At that mo-

looking at Hilary plaintively, "I guess

Hilary thumped him on the shoulder,
