OWENSBORO MESSENG
Birds Told Of Her BetrOthal.

Little Birds are reputed to be for
ever telling interesting secrets, but
it took a cage of them-and blue
birds, too, which signify happiness
to betray Miss Margaret Cecilia
Gray's engagement to DR.. DeVer
Dwight Gray-a- secret which up to
announcement had not been sus-
pected.
Miss Gray who is a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Gray, gave a re-
ception one afternoon recently. The
bidden guests passed the afternoon
pleasantly in embroidering, augment
ed by an impromptu musical pro-
gramme. Later tea was served in
the dining room. converted into a
floral bower of pink.
Then came time for farewells, and
the unsuspecting guests, grouped on
the veranda where stood their host
ess, were suddenly startled by a
fluttering cloud of bluebirds, releas-
ed from a bird cage above their
heads, showering the women with
tiny envelopes bearing the names of
Miss Margaret Cecilia Gray and DIR.
DeVer Dwight Gray. They are not
related.
No date is set for the nuptial event
though it is to be this fall.

those of Kurdish savagery. In one
town not a grown person was found.
only 500 orphans.
The Armenians of Van were sue
cessful in repulsing the attacks of
the Kurds and Turks until the ar
rival of the Russian army. Thus
saved themselves and upwards of
$4,000 helpless men and women with
children, who had flocked there from
the surrounding villages. But this
heroic deed caused intense irritation
to the Turks and Kurds. and II cost
the lives OF many more thousands of
Armenians in the direction of Bitlis,
Mardin and Diarbekir.
Speaking of the Christian popu-
lation of these regions a circular of
the Armenian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions. under date of August 4. says:
THE suffering among them is be-
yond description and the need of
help immediate and overwhelming.
Most heart-rending is the fate of
the inhabitants of many towns in
Armenia and Asia Minor, who have
been exiled wholesale, and whose
homes and lands have been given to
Mohammedan immigrants from Bal
kan countries. The men of these
families have been detained for some
unknown purpose, and the women
and children sent to distant parts in
Mesopotamia and Konia, to live in
unhealthy places, or rather to perish
far from friends and co-religionists.
From under this terrible weight of
woe Armenia appeals to the kind
hearted American people. The Ar
menian colonies established in the
United States and in other parts of
the world have made great efforts
to relieve their people in the mother
country. They have already raised
among themselves, and sent to the
proper agencies for distribution, hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. But
the misery is so great and so wide !
spread that help from other sources !
is urgently needed.
The American Armenian Relief |
Fund Committee makes the present |
appeal to the American public. in |
the firm hope that, moved with hu-
feelings, the men and wo-
men of this country will extend a
helping hand to this unfortunate and |
long suffering nation of the East.
Contributions to the American Ar
menian Relief fund may be sent to

Sores On Horses.


Many horse owners at this season
OF the year find that their horses are
troubled by sores which resist usual
methods of treatment, and which in
this respect differ from ordinary
wounds. These growths or sores are
supposed TO be fungous origin. Their
true nature and cause, however, have
not been definitely determined. They
are especially prevalent in the South
ern States, and are called summer
sores on account of their persistency
and the difficulty with which they are
healed during the summer season. AS
cool weather approaches, healing fire.
quently takes place, but there is al
ways the possibility of the wound
breaking anew with the advent of
warm weather. They may appear on
any portion of the body, but are es-
pecially troublesome when occurring
on the lower parts of the limbs or
at points where the harness touch.
Frequently the first indication or
appearance of the trouble is a small
lump resembling a grain of shot be-
meath the skin. In a few days the
skin sloughs off over the spot, leav-
ing a raw surface. This increases in
size until in a few weeks there is a
raw surface from to several inches
in diameter Commonly there is in
tense itching, and the animal bites
and rubs the parts, aggravating the
condition and increasing the size of
the sore. The edges of these sores
are usually rough in appearance and
raised above the surface of the skin.
When examined closely they appear
like a mass of dark bruised tissue in
which is embedded more or less of
a yellow, gritty growth.
Numerous methods of treatment
have been resorted to in this condi-
tion, with varying results, and fire.
quently no improvement is noted un-
Many cases, however. yield to the fol-
lowing treatment. The wound is
thoroughly scraped with a surgeons
sterilized curette, or with clean,
disinfected dull knife, after which it
is showered with cold water for 10
or Is minutes. Iodoform is then
busted on and rubbed into the wound
by means of wad of absorbent cot
ton, and the wound is Immediately
covered with a layer of collodion
The iodoform and collodion applica-
tions are repeated every "a hours |
for Is days or until the sores heal |
Ether or chloroform may be used in |
place of iodoform, being poured on
cotton and applied to the sore for |
two minutes before painting it with
collodion.
Formalin has been used by inject
ing it into the tissues. This, how
ever, should be used only by quail |
fed veterinarian, as its improper use |
might cause severe sloughing and |
disastrous results.
Not infrequently a valuable stall
lion becomes affected, in which case |
the genital organs may become in
volvcd and incapacitate the animal
for breeding purposes. In such in
stances the injection of rs to 100
grains of salvarsan, or neosalvarsan,
into the blood circulation has proved
almost specific. This, however,
should be carried out only by COM
petent veterinarian. 1t should also
be considered that a single injection
of this preparation costs from SIS
to $40, and it's use is therefore ad-
visable only for the treatment of val
nable animals.

Relief For Armenians.

Among the greatest sufferers by
the European war have been the
Armenians. Their condition is even
worse than that of the Belgians.
Massacres by the Kurds and Turks
have again broken out, accompanied
with atrocities. A multitude of Ar
menins whose homes had been ruined
and burned have fled across the from
tiers from Turkey and Persia into
Russia. There are about 100000 of
these refugees, most of them women
and children. Never in my life
have / seen such suffering" writes
Tolstoy's daughter Alexandra, who is
serving with the Red Cross near the
frontier. Some of the refugees in
her hospital had had their hands and
feet cut off. All were emaciated
and in tatters. They are not only
destitute but broken-hearted, MANY
having seen their husbands and chill
dren slaughtered before their eyes.
According 10 a latter dispatch from
Tiiis, under date of August 10th,
225,OOO Armenians have abandoned
their country with the retreating Rus
sian army, and are taking refuge in
Trans-Caucasia.
In Turkey, where every able-bodied
man has been forced into the army,
the condition of the women and chill
dren is even worse. the ravages of

tion reaffirmed its posl'iCn, twice be-
fore dstlared, in favor OF the county
rnlt Principle vt lcra! option and
placed the party OH record as in fav-
or of any legislation which will make
that theory fully effective.
The Democratic platform conven-
tion, shortly to be held, will also
declare in favor of the county unit,
altho there may be an effort made
to inject into it's platform some
thing that will make stronger ap-
peal to the Liberal" sentiment in
Kentucky.
With both parties on record as
advocating the county unit system
and therefore opposed to Statewide
prohibition, there will be little OPP
portunity for making the liquor
question an overshadowing issue in
the campaign.
1t is evident thus early, however,
and the Republicans had just as well
make their calculation accordingly,
that Mr.. Stanley will have the loyal
and active support of every man
who is in any degree opposed to rea-
sonable regulation of the liquor traf-
fic. He will receive the votes, the
financial aid and the personal assis-
tance at the pools of the
men who are i'm favor of Sunday sa-
looms, and this will bring to him the
friendship, active and vigorous, of
the people whose source of income
is inseparably Joined with the liquor
traffic in its worst form.
This is simply natural condition
and one which must be accepted and
discounted in advance. The unregu-
lated and wide-open liquor people
are human. They stand by their
friends. They flock together. AS

one best suited to their purposes.
blames them for that.
During the campaign Mr.. Stanley
will declare his friendship for the
county unit law and for strict OBJ
servance of the letter and spirit of
its intentions.
But Mr.. Stanley has record. By
a mans acts must he be judged. The
Bill was framed and
in Congress to prevent
interstate shipments of intoxicating
licours into local option territory.
When the bill was before Congress
Mr.. Stanley was the Representative
from the First Congressional Dis
trict of Kentucky. !
On the roll call on the Webb-Ken-
yon Bill, February s, 1918, which
was the roll call on the passage of
the bill, Representative Stanley is

years, when, three and one-ha years old

Her name was the Mary Cook. She was
owned by the late David Wasson, and
commanded by my father, Capt. Robert
Tapley. She was lying at her anchor in
Lunt's cove. Before going into the coast
ing trade she was a Marbiehead grand
banker OF about sixty tons burden. she
had stubb masts and four-foot quarter
brake, q brick fireplace in her cabin, with
a wooden smoke stack above the deck.
She was wrecked some years after on the
Cuckolds. OF Boothbay, on q return trip
from Boston. / think she was the only
vessel ow ned at West Brooksviile at that
time.
Mr.. Wasson built, in lS41, the brig Her

By John Burroughs.
He sought the old scenes with eager feet
The scenes he had known as boy;
"ohI for 6 draught of those fountains sweet,
And taste of that vanished joy"
He roamed the fields, he unused by the streams,
He threaded the paths and lanes;
On the hills he sought his youthful dreams,
In the woods to forget his pains.
Oh, sad. sad hills; oh. cold. cold hearth'
In sorrow he learned thy truth
One may go back to the place of his birth
He cannot go back to his youth.
