STEEL STOCKS
LEAD GAINS
BY international News Service


NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-There was
little or no trace of yesterdays un-
easiness in the early trading in the
stock market today. Stocks Of the
Independent steel companies, the
amusement companies and a few of
the utilities and spec!alties, the lat.
ter including the biscuit baking
companies, inaugurated a brisk for
ward movement at the opening of
the market, and the recognized
speculative leaders were well bought
at a higher range of prices.
Apprehension with respect to
likely to be very pronounced unless
banks, and possibly the Eastern
banks, follow the example of Chi
cago in raising their rediscount
rates, in the Wall Street view.
Directors of the Kansas City and
New York banks meet after the
close of business today, and the
reserve boards weekly report On
brokers' borrowings also will be
published later in the day.
Spectacular mergers OF indepen.
dent steel companies, utility COM
panies and theatrical properties
commanded the attention Of the
financial district. Completion of
the consolidation Of Youngstown
and Inland Steel companies on the
one hand and the Republic .Trum-
bull companies on the other, is ex.
pected eventually to result in a
new combination Of these and other
companies rivalling the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, which now stands
next to the United States Steel
Corporation in resources and pro-
ductive capacity. Youngstown sold
up nearly 5 points at 1861, the
highest price on record,

THE NEW FORD CAR
ARRIVES IN ASKOV

Mr.. and Mrs. V. S. Petersen were
in Minneapolis last Thursday and
drove up the first New Ford car for
the Askov dealers. 1t is a two door
sedan and its beauty and wonderful
performance is now well known to
many here as the dealers have been
busy all week taking prospects as well
as non-prospects out for a ride, and
Judging from the comments of those
who have tried it, it fulfills all ex-
pectations, and in many instances a
little more. This car will be used
continuously as a demonstration and
everyone is invited to. ride.
So much has been said and written
about what this new Ford is and what
it can do that nothing new can be adj
ded in that respect; suffice to say:
take a ride in it and then judge for
yourself.

Last Thursday, Miss O'Meara of the
Teachers Training department of the
Sandstone high school, visited us.
Miss Evelyn Thalin is practice
teaching at our school for two weeks.
We have started our pine needle
baskets. They will be very attractive
when finished.
We were very busy last week doing
our regular work and also taking
state tests for seventh and eighth
grades, Miss Thalin supervised these
tests.
Tuesday was Valentine day. We
made a large Valentine box attract
lively decorated with differently color
ed hearts. A party was given to the
pupils by Miss Dahlberg and Miss
Thalin. Boxes filled with hearts
were given to the pupils, Games
were played and everyone enjoyed
themselves.
Last Friday afternoon we had a
short Lincoln program. Adele and
Elmer Dietz were on the program
committee. All the pupils took part
and were very entertaining.
We are going to have a holiday
next Wednesday, on account of Wash

CHANGE IN DELIVERY

Officers of the Askov Creamery AS
sociation have decided to put the
cream delivery change into effect on
March LIST and individual notices will
be sent to each of the patrons. Those
living south and east of the railroad
track will deliver cream on March list,
those north and west of the track on
March End. and they will continue
alternating in that manner, delivering
also on Sundays. This is done for
the convenience of the patrons so that
the waits at the creamery will not
be so long and it will also increase
the capacity of the creamery and will
not necessitate building any addition
for some years.

QUITS LEAGUE POST
TO AID ARMENIANS

Miss Karen Jeppe, Danish So
cial worker, who has done so
much for the Armenians, has re-
signed her official post with the
League of Nations, and will spend
the rest of her life aiding Arme-
mans. The Associated Press re-
port coming from Aleppo, Syria,
and published in the st. Paul
Pioneer Press reads as follows:
The guardian angel of the Armen-
ians is turning her work of mercy
into specialized channels.
Miss Karen Jeppe of Denmark,
known also as the Florence Nightin-
gale of Armenia, has resigned her
official relief post with the League
of Nations to devote the remainder
of her life to helping Armenians who
are not only without homes, but also
without relatives.
In a camp here are 1900 fugitives,
10000 of whom are said to be in dire
need. She will try to put all of them
on their feet.
Her effort will be a climax to 25
years of work on behalf of Christian
Armenians. She came from Den
mark in the nineties when she heard
of Turkish massacreS in Armenia.
When the World War began she
was the head of a children's home in
Urfa, Mesopotamia where she COOP
Grated with the American charity
worker, Miss Shattuck. When in 1915
the massacres were resumed, Miss
Jeppe, with danger to her own life,
hid 10 young Armenians in her cellar.
For a year and a half she helped
Armenians get away, working in the
same manner as Edith Cavell in Bel
GUM. From her village she saw Ar
menian women and children driven
into the Syrian desert to lingering
death of starvation.
DR.. Nansen, Arctic explorer and
Nobel prize winner, drew the atten-
ton of the League of Nations to her
work, and since 1922 she has been
the Leagues commissary for Armen-
ia. On her last visit to Denmark,
King Christian conferred on her the
Order of Merit in Gold, an honor which
she shares with only 20 other Danes.
Miss Jeppe's commission from the
League of Nations was to try to lib
crate as many Armenians as posi-
BILE from Turkish oppression. In the
harems and employed in forced men
ial work there were thousands of Ar
menians. Through Miss Jeppe's eff
forts nearly 1000 have been freed
and restored to their relatives.
But there are hundreds of Armen-
ians for whom no relatives have been
found. They have proved Miss Jeppe's
greatest problem. They need to be
taught a means of livelihood and CIV
en- a start in life. With this in mind,
Miss Jeppe resigned her broader work
with the League of Nations in order
to concentrate on the problem she
considers most urgent.

Saturday, Feb. IS, 1928
Last night was cold and this NOR
ming was colder. Snow fell about five
o'clock yesterday but melted as soon
as it came in contact with the side
walk or ground. The people in the
stores came out to the walk to see
the novelty and with smiles on their
faces treated the SNOW furry as a
joke, and-so l guess it was. But l am
told that they have had snow here at

Wages and Food Prices.
l was surprised to learn yesterday
that wages are so low and it is not
because of the negro labor either.
There are some small sawmills out
quite a distance from Hot Springs
and the wages in these mills, l am
told, are about $1.25 to $3.50 per day
and in extreme cases 1925 a day.
Clerks in stores receive from SIS to
$25 a week, the latter figure in ex-
ceptional cases. Apples and fruits
are about the same as in Minnesota,
while Irish potatoes, the kind that
Minnesota raises, bring at retail 4c
a pound. Catfish caught in the Red
River some distance from here re-
tails at 35c a pound and it is with
difficulty that enough is obtained to
supply the demand. Beef and packers
supplies generally come from Kansas
City, are high. Fine Porter House
steak sells at 45c a pound. l saw

young hogs from his Ford. They

TURNS
HOLDMOST DANGER
Responsible for go Per Cent
of Collisions With PedeS-
trians, Survey Shows.

Daily attendance at Washington's
Traffic Court for period OF four years,
and the analysis of several hundred
cases of pedestrians injured In tratf1c,
shows the writer that approximately
so per cent of pedestrian collisions
at street intersections involve cars max
ing a right-hand turn.
Pedestrians crossing at tWo-way
street intersections can practically elm
mate this greatest OF all street corner
dangers-right-h turns-by crossing
on the left side of the intersection only.
BY following this rule the pedestrian
will be in a position to observe, at a
considerable distance ahead, any car
making a right-hand turn into his
path, and what Is quite as important,
the driver of the approaching car will
be in a position to see the pedestrian
at an earlier moment than generally
obtains when the pedestrian crosses on
the right-hand side.
Facing Driver.
The underlying reason for this APP
parent anomaly is that a pedestrian
on the left-hand side of the way faces
oncoming traffic while on the right
hand side traffic approaches from the
rear. Where pedestrian and vehicular
traffic converge, as at street crossing,
it is an advantage for the parties to
face each other as they approach. But
this can occur only when the pedestrian
keeps to the left side of the way. since
the driver has no choice in the matter.
