Hundreds Dying for Lack Of Funds to
Feed The Starving.

Armenian exlles eating grass and
dying of starvation by hundreds, is the
startling message received May 18th
from Constantinople by the American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief, 70 Fifth Avenue. New York.
The cablegram says that suffering
among the exiles, deported from their
homes by Turkish soldiers, has been
greatly increased on account of their
refusal to accept the Mohammedan re-
liglon, but that IN spite of all suffering
they are not losing their Christian
faith.
The Committee now has reliable ia
cllitles for reaching the needy, and Its
commissions in several centers of Tur-
key, Persia and Syria are under the
direction of American Consuls and
Missionaries.
The AWFUL FACTS.
Armenian population of Turkey,
Persia and Syria before the European
war, 100000.
Massacred or died of wounds, disease
or exhaustion 759, 900.
Survivors about 1,2OD,00
Destitute and starving Armenians.
HISTORIANS and native Christians (non-
combatants) in Turkey, Persia and Sy-
ria, 1000, ,000.

itate the destitute and starving, S.

TO HELP THE FARMER.
Information Sought That Will Bring
More Buyers Here This Fall.

Last week the Chronicle mailed out
175 blanks requesting the farmers and
live stock men over the county to re-
port the amount of money they re-
ceived the past year from the sale of
cattle, sheep and hogs the number OF
each now on hand the number of each
they expect to have for sale this fall
and winter. With each blank we en-
closed stamped and addressed envel-
ope so that the least possible trouble
would be experienced in making the
report.
We trust every person who receives
one will respond promptly with the in
formation sought. We may have
missed some persons who should have
had blank, if so we regret 1t and
shall be glad for them to report to us
any way.
When this information is in hand,
which we think will be within week
or ten days, we shall prepare an article
touching the live stock industry and the
farming results in the past with the
outlook for the future. giving only such
things as we are sure are indisputable
facts.
e-belleve such an article will be of
great benefit to the county as whole
in that 1t will give to homeseekers
just such information as they will most
desire and such as is many times diff
cult to secure.
1t will be of great benefit to the
farmers directly IN that it will make
available for live stock dealers infor-
nation as to the number of live stock
that will be for sale in this section this |
fall and winter.
One of the worst handicaps the farm
ers Of this county have had IN the past
is that buyers have not been aware of
the number of live stock that this
county puts on the market each year
and for that reason not so many buyers
have been coming here as would have
been had the real situation been more
generally known.
1t has been amply demonstrated that
when there are numerous buyers in the
field prices have been better than when
confined to few who felt that they
could get the goods at practically their
own price.
For the reasons stated we believe we
are performing very helpful service
to the farmers in particular and to the
pbulic in general In getting together
this information. We hope every per-
son who receives one of the blanks
mentioned will feel sufficiently inter-
ested III the general welfare of the
county as well as their own personal
interests to fill out carefully the blank
and return it promptly.
It is a well understood fact that there
are splendid opportunities IN this Sec
tion for homeseekers, that we need
mole people to develop this section as
it should be, that there is ample room
here tor thousands more people and
that by increasing our population the
burden of taxation on account of the
roads now building Will be lightened
for one and all. There is not single :
logical reason why we would not do all .
possible as individuals and as people
to induce people to settle here. for it
will not only prove helpful to US all but
will also prove safe and wise move (
tor the newcomer.
Will you not do your part? {

YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10

for two weeks. Then weigh yourself
again. 1t isn't question OF how you
look or feel, or what your friends say
and think. The scales and the tape
measure will tell their own story, and
most any thin man or woman can cas-
lily add from s to 10 pounds in the
first two weeks by following this
simple direction, and best Of all, the
new flesh stays put.
Tonoline does not OF itself make
fat producing nourishment for the
turns the fats, sugar and starch OF
what YOU have eaten into rich, ripe
faturoducing nourishment for the
tissues and hlood-prepares 1t in an
easily assimilated form which the
blood can readily accept. All this
nourishment now passes from your
body as waste. But Tonoline stob3
the waste and does it quickly and
makes the fat producing contents OF
