They were first stationed at Alex- andrqgol, Caucasus, then in the hands of the Russians, and were occupied with industrial relief work. Posi- were found for refugees as they ed, fleeing from Turkey. They estimate that they and other mem- bers of the corps distributed clothing for 15,000 Armenian orphans, whose parents had bgen massacred by the ‘Turks. Help was furnished to about 60,000 refugees. . Then, suddenly, the Russian revo- lution developed. The Bolsheviki abandoned the battle front and the Turkish army advanced. It was fear- ed that the Germans,would come down the Black Sea and seize the line from Batum to Tiflis. Phe American consul advised all the Americans to leave at once, and a special trair conveying sixty foreigners finally ar- rived at Baku on the Caspian Sea. There they were caught in a battle o between Bolsheviki and Armenians |t on one side and Tartars on the other. The street in which they lived was| dominated by Tartars who sprayed the roadway with machine-gun bul- lets. For three days they did not dare leave the house and had only bread to live on.

Brothers of Fort Collin brings ‘a tale of indignation by the farmers of the Goshen Hole country, in the vicinity of Torrington, Wyo., who are wroth against the U. S. Reclamation Service. According to Mr. Brothers the government induced farmers to tal up homesteads in, the Goshen Hole country, which they did, on the promise of the reclama- tion service to provide water for this year. Mr. Brothers left here last Wed- nesday to seed his land believing that the reclamation service had installed concrete work, as it had promised, where necessary to prevent washouts from the various laterals from Cherry Creek. When he arrived at his land he found that the work had not been started and he is now out his returns on wheat. Other farmers in the dis- triet are voicing similar complaints. * Fhe only angwer which the recla- ;mation service would give to Mr. Brothers was that he should have fol- lowed the proceedings of the last congress and he would have spared himself the expense of a trip to the Goshen Hole country. The reclama- tion service also claims that the gov- ernment is holding up the reclama- tion fund; all of which is highly in- teresting to the farmers. a Black and Green. An old colored man was burning dead grass when a “wise guy” stopt and said: “You’re foolish to do that, Uncle Eb; it will make the meadow as black as you are.” “Don’t worry ’bout dat, sah,” re- sponded Uncle Eb. “Dat grass will grow out an’ be as green as you is.” —Boston Transcript. —— Se ee ~ COMPUTATIONS SHEETS Estimates,on Job Work INVENTORIES | TO MAIL ORDER | mouth of the Volga. ‘We had ; to sleep on the deck throughout the whole. trip,’” said Mrs. Compton.

The Bolshevik soldiers lay flat upon the club roof and fired down on _ the Czech soldiers, so we had a very good view of the fighting.

Finally we heard the Czechs cheering and saw people running from the houses, all making the sign of the cross. The Czechs had won. Everybody put on their best clothes and paraded in the streets with bands. Collections were taken up for the Czechs, who were hailed as heroes and deliverers. “When the Bolsheviki had the city ve would see them lying in the “‘reets. They were always chewing sun-flower seeds.” Mr. Comipton said he had never seen any Bolshevik atrocities but he ad seen proclamations issued by the Dolsheviki declaring they would but- cler the people if they captured the city. He said that once a Bol- 8 k broke into an Ameriean’s room but had immediately apologized, add- ‘ng that America was the only friend Russia had. f Mr. Compton also said that Rus- sian officers told him nine-tenths of People became Bolsheviki | becagise they didn’t have enough to live on, and because they thought anything would be better than their present condition, WYOMING SIXTH NUMBER OF BIMKS PE CHPT _, Lhe Missouri valley leads the Unit- ed States in the number, of banks per aes according to- an interesting a le Just compiled by the bureau of Publicity of the Omapa Chamber o orméras! : he first ten states in this respect Dh in the Missouri valley, viz.: North ; a nee) South Dakota, Nebraska, MI a, Montana, -Wyoming, Kansas, as, Missouri and Idaho. sees state of Wyoming is in sixth LION TRIES TO STOP AN AUTO stn IROBI, East Africa.—Trying to chal 4 40 miles per hour car, the toe een lost the first recorded con- ion Automobile—in the and es | Richelieu Dr, King’s New Discovery used Pork and Beans, No. 3 Can oes = since Grant was President. | eee { Get a bottle today Richelieu It did it for your g-andma, for your i father.
