Page Six Figured in Historic Sod Turning have taken steps to protect the pub- lic against ~ fradulent pedlars. At a meeting on Tuesday evening it was unanimously agreed that itinerant vendors posing" as returned men should be made to produce their dis- charge certicates, and, before be- ing allowed to peddle would have to be furnished with credentials from the returned men's executive. At this meeting` it was also pro- posed by the chairman, Comrade Fred Elliott, that as there is no "veterans omaiiization in town which lI2~epresented the sentiments of the ilreturned men as a whole, they 'lshould elect an executive of ve '|\'(.-terans, who would retain office for " one year from (late.

The prisons were opened aml the convicts told to go and behave like good Moslems. These gangs of criminals fell on the Armenians in the mountains, robbed them of money, food and clothing ' and dragged the pretty young girls 1 off to the hills. One Armenian wo- men who escaped told of how hun- dred of children were bayoneted by 5 the Turks and thrown into the Euphrates, and how men and wo- _` men were stripped naked, tied to- gether in hundreds, shot, and then hurled into the river. In a loop l near Erzinghan, she said, the thous- ands of dead bodies created such a ` barrage that the Euphrates changed its course for about a hundred [yards Out of the combined convoy :of 18,000 souls just 150 women and children reached their destination. Whatever crimes the most perverted instincts of the human mind can de- vise, and whatever kinds of persecu- tion and injustice the most debased imagination can conceive, became the daily misfortunes of this devoted people. At least 600,000 people were destroyed in all, perhaps as many as 1,000,000. As a result `there are 250,000 Armenian orphans homeless. defcnceless and hungry. To help them the Armenian Relief Association was formed in 1916 and was given a charter. It was first associated with the Near East Re- lief of New York City, but nally became indentied with the Lord Mayor s Fund of London, England. it A ..,.... ..n.,. n-- f`.`...\.l.'....

Tuck was tried and convicted in police court on Tuesday morning for keeping junk and other refuse on his premises without a permit from the Board of Health on Nov. 7. He was ned $35 and $9.50 costs, amounting to $44.50. F. Hammond defended Mr. Tuck and J. Boys re- presented the Board of Health. Dr. A. T. Little, Medical Ollicer of Health, gave evidence. He had been on the premises on the 7th, 11-th and 18th of November. He found there rags, bottles, scrap iron, junk and other refuse, all in a state of lth. Coal oil stoves of no value except as junk, littered some parts of the premises. The shelves were cram- med with a lot of indescribable stuff which he believed Mr. Tuck himself could not enumerate. Along with Messrs. Bowman, Hammond and Tuck, he visited the place on Mon- ` day and found some _ had been made.

The request had been made that Tuck start at a certain place and clean up, use some soap and water and get rid of the junk as he went along. Much of the junk had certain- ly been moved, said Dr. Little, but one-half of the whole stock was junk. The Board of Health intends to persist and force Mr. Tuck to More informa- . tion will be laid late-r unless much is accomplished.

Mr. Tuck said that he had been cleaning up ever since August. He said there were ve men working now, including himself, on the premises. Later he stated that there were ve men and women on the job. Magistrate Je"s observed that there was no need of that distinction as men embraced the women. Mr. Tuck said very emphatically that none of the goods on the premises {was junk. However, he had taken away and stored elsewhere all the second-hancl granite and tinware which had been objected to by the M.O.H.

He has two dozen oil stoves, which he claims to be good, valued at $4, and some more in the cellar worth $1. The car which Chief Case referred to had many good parts, he said. The cylinder head is not gone yet, he said. Is your lplace one that people can go to xzshen they'd like something for no- thing; ? he `was asked.

The Northern Advance I}, During the past season the Cana- dian Pac1fic Railway used on all its lines `approximately 6,500,000 ties, according to a report just issued. The wood: used include British Columbia fir, hemlock, tamarac, jack pine, spruce, maple and birch. Tourist traffic in New Bminswick during the past summer left nearly $3,000,000 in the province, an amount almost equal to -the total provincial revenue. according to an estimate of the New Brunswick Tourist Association. Approximately 70,000 tourists visited the province. (Continued from page one) Later Abdul Hamid was deposed and a society of Young Turks set up a government. The great war came on and the obstacles which had stood in the way of their predeces- sor were removed. The Young Turks found themselves in a posi- tion to carry owt their holy enter- prise. In 1915 all the Armenian soldiers in the Turkish army were `reduced to an army of laborers. They were stripped of their` arms; and instead of serving as artillery-I men and cavalrymen they found. themselves transformed into pack| animals. In many instances they} were disposed of in a more sum- nfary way, made to dig pits for their- own graves and shot down into them in squads of 50 and 100 in cold blood. In one sin_e:le episode that occurred in July, 1.015, 2000 of these soldiers who had been reduced to workmen were sent from Harpoot ostensibly to build roads. Once in the mountains practically every man of the 2000 was massacred and his body thrown into a cave. And these massacres were not isolated happenimxs. It was a systematic at- tempt to kill all the able-bodied men of the nation. Mnuf n?

Portland, famous all over the conti- nent for its roses, buys the varieties produced in British Columbia be- cause they are the hardiest and ; best suited for growing in North America. Silver production in Ontario for 1924 will not vary materially from that of 1923, judging by figures available for the first nine months of the year from the reports of several operating companies, though some increases will be shown.

COOKING APPLES ` Authorities seem to agree that in l the cooking of apples either earthen 3 C-1` granite vessels are much to be preferred to iron or other metal kettles. When the latter are used an unfavorable avor is liable to be imparted to the fruit. This observa- tion is made in a pamphlet on Can- adian Grown Aipples, issued by the Fruit Branch of the Dept. of Agri- culture at Ottawa. The author also recomvmends the use of silver, gran- ite or wooden spoons for stirring` the fruit during the process of cooking. The very first aerial stowaway ever known was discovered recently aboard a plane in the Laurentide Air Service, Limited. operating on its Rouyn gold fields service in asso- ciation with the Canadian Pacific Railway. The serious effect of the extra weight on the flying powers of the machine was so noticeable i that it led to the man s discovery. As he had hidden himself with a desire to see his sick wife and child, he was not punished. The enormous contribution to the I wealth of Canada made by the Cana- dian Pacific Railway was alluded to by E. W. Beatty, K.G.. Chairman and President of the Cvmpnny, when, speaking at Welland, Ont., on November 7th, at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the build- ing of the first Welland Canal, he stated that the company in 1923 dis- 0 persed in the Dominion $202,000,000 ` in wages and materials, and $7,000,~ ` 000 in taxes of all kinds. s Citizens of Three Rivers, Quebec, regard the recent inauguration of the new Canadian Pacific Railway Station as marking a new epoch in the life of their city inasmuch as it aords proof of the status already attained by Trois-Rivieres as an industrial centre and of the greater prominence it is expected to occupy in the future. The new station building is the most up-to-date and magnicent of its kind in eastern Canada. Of its construction cost, not less than $200,000 represents the amount of money spent in Three Rivers. Some idea as to the way Three Rivers has developed may be gathered from a few remarks made by E. J. Hebert, rst assistant general passenger agent, Canadian Pacic Railway, in proposing a toast at the banquet that marked the oicial opening. "Until 1875 navigation was the only transportation facility" he said. Then the Northern Railway was built btr'('.cl1 Quebec, Three Rivers and Montreal, but it was not until 1905 that industries began to appear. With the opening of the St. Maurice Valley Railway trade developed rapidly. The towns of Shawinigan Falls, Grand Mere, Cap-de-la-Madeleine, La Gabelle, small hamlets in 1905, have become important industrial centres, with populations respectively of 12,000, 7,500 and 3,000 peop1e,`whi1e Three Rivers itself has over 30,000 population now and is still growing. , [ere anaT1.ere` Three Rivers, Quebec, Has New Station has long ceased to be an administra- tive and judicial measure. Yet the darkest ages never presented scenes more horrible than those which took place all over Turkey. Nothing was sacred to the Turkish gendarmes. They ransacked churches, beat the priests into insensibility, under the pretense that they were the centres of sedition. They would pull out his eyebrows and beard almost hair by hair; they would extract his inger nails and toe nails; They would apply red-hot irons to his breast, tear off his esh with red hot pincers, and then pour boiledl butter into the wounds. In some cases the gendarmes would nail hands and feet to pieces of wood in imitation of the Crucixion, and then while the sufferer writhed in agony they would cry, Now let your Christ come and help you !

I At the recent conference on un- employment, the Dominion Govern- ment representatives were plainly told by business men that Govern- ment works for the relief of un- employment were attentuating medicines applied and mere pallia- tives taking` in two or three per cent. The business men had told them that the real remedy was a Federal policy, and the establish- ment of a denite, stable protective policy upon which business men could rely. An end had been put to these suggestions on the part of the business men by the Minister of Labor, who is interested in other subjects which are greater to him than employment at the present time. Futility follows futility, while the country suers in consequence, said Mr. Mcighen. The Conserva- tive party does not offer some new big venture for the solution of these disabilities. What Canada needs is not an expensive shibboleth, but a return to a lesson of experience and a willingness to be guided by facts as they have presented themselves throug'.hout these years.

In the south and south-eastern part of the Ottoman Empire lie the Syrean desert and the Mesopotamian valley, a dreary, desolate waste, without cities and towns or life of any kind, populated only by a few wild and fanatical Bedouin tribes. Two million or more Armenians were driven from their homes to that desert. The sole purpose behind the dep')rtation was robbery and destruction; it really represen.ted a new metohd of mass- acre. Scarcely an Amenian, \-:hat- ever his education, wealth or social class, was exempted from the urdel`. Women with new born babies were forced to leave their beds and jcin the panic-stricken throng. At An- gora all the Armenian men from 15 to 70 were arrested, bound together in groups of four and sent towards Caesarea. In a secluded valley, ve or six hours travel along the road, a mob of Turkish peasants fell upon them with clubs, scythes, spades and saws. Their bodies, horribly mutilated, were left in the valley, where they were (le- voured by vultures and wild beasts.

The farmers of the East and the West were suffering from the evils of protection, which articially increased the cost of living and the cost of production. His remedies |were free trade, lower transportation charges and a reduction in the cost of the necessities of life.~ Mr. Drury claimed that more had been accom- plished for the benefit of the people during his four years as Premier than during any other four years since Confederation.
