ORIGIN OF FEBRUARY.
Something About the Month In Which
We Are Now Living.

February, from Latin, Februarius-
the month of expiatior-which the
Romans celebrated as a. festival on the
18th of the month. BY the calendar of
julius Caesar, February had 20 days
except at bissextile or leap years,
when it had 80. But Augustus took a
day from it and added it to his own
month, August, that it might not have
a less number OF days than July, .ded-
icated to julius Caesar. Previously
August had been called Sextilis, and
consisted of 80 days only. February
is the shortest month in, the year. but
full of holidays and social functions.
Originally February was the last
month Of the year, but IT was made the
second month in 452 b. c. @
February 18th is Lincoln's birthday.
It's Georgia day in that state. COM
memorating the day when James
Oglethorpe arrived in 1888 and started
his settlement. The 14th is. st. Valen-
tines day throughout the Union, but
it's only Admission day for Arizona.
Besides celebrating Washington's
birthday on the ,22nd, the states of Al
ALBANIA and Texas make it Arbor day.
Arbor day comes also on the Srd in
Florida and in all of Arizona except
the five northern counties. February
ends with a gala observation of Mar
di Gras, in Alabama, Florida and Lou
isiana. The 2Sth also happens to be
Shrove Tuesday.

900 in Greece and the Aegean islands,
5000 in Syria and about 10000 refu-

has reduced the Armenians in Asia

about 250,000 would be Immediately

The Near Eastern conference will
resume tomorrow with a good many
wounds to heal. The English are
plainly annoyed over the Turkish en-
swer concerning Mosul. The Turks,
insisting vigorously that MOsul be-
longs to Turkey, alleged that the
English, without proper authority,
occupied that territory after the arm
istice at Mudroa; they say that two
t districts of Irak already have elected
r to join Turkey and Mosul, whose
5 Kurd population is more sympathetic
2 with the Turks than the Arabs, un-
e doubtedly will do likewise if a plebis

fight ON Freight
RATES IS STARTED
State Railroad commission files COM
plant with interstate commerce
commission, showing increase

HELENA, Dec. 26.-Lowering of
freight rates on grain from Montana
shipping points to both eastern and
western markets is asked in a com
plant prepared by the state railroad
commission, which will file the docu-
ment with the interstate commerce
commission Immediately.
No specific reduction in the present
freight charges on grain and grain
products is requested in the com
plant, but the contention is made
that increases in freight rates by the
railroads constitute a breach Of the
implied contract under which the
farmers of Montana acquired their
land, many of them from the railroad
companies, and in effect remove
Montana 400 miles further from the
grain markets

present rates on grain are "unreaS.
enable, unjust, unfair, operate to the
distress of farmers and grain procuc
ers and discourage production o.
basic products" is directed agains'

LAUSANNE, Dec. 25.-The Ar
menian plea for the establishment of
an Armenian national home in Tur-
key will be presented to the Near
East conference tomorrow by Presi-
dent Noradnughian Pasha, of the Ar
menian national delegation. He was
once minister of foreign affairs in
the Turkish cabinet and has been in
vited to appear before the sub-com-
mission on minorities to explain the
desires of the Armenian people.
The Turks have announced their
decision not to attend this meeting.
For one thing, they say, they have
made up their minds definitely not
to set aside any part of Turkey for
the Armenians; for another, they as
sert that as the Armenians are Turk
ish subjects, they should plead their
cause before the Turks, not before
the conference as a whole.
Noradunghian says that his people
, will accept any locality in Turkey
which the conference decides upor
!. and also a dominion form of govern
ment under the Turks similar to tina
=, enjoyed by Canada and Ireland unde
: the English. If the territorial limit
= of the republic of Erivan are to b
! extended and Erivan proclaimed tn
real home of the Armenians, then, h
thinks, Russia should be asked t
guarantee the independence of Err
van, which now threatens to becom
Russian bolshevik province.
The Rev. George R. Montgomery, {
r. New York, director of the Armeni;
r American Society, who is in Lausanr
Il laboring for the cause of the Armei
ian people said tonight that the go
80 of all the friends Of Armenia was
procure a national home under col
ditions which would provide some i
Ipiration for the Armenians in Il
: future; he had not yet abandon'
10 hope that some territory would be S
al aside for this purpose.
