STATES MEET


The annual convention of the
Tri-State Grain Growers
association in Fargo last week brot
probably 5000 farmers from Min
nesota, North Dakota and South
Dakota to one of the Invest and
best meetings the association has
held in it's successful history. The
program featured some of the
best professional and practical
farming experts from the three
states and the entertainment feat
ures, aside from the educational
and instructive, were among the
best the association has ever pre-
scented. Held during the same
week that the stockholders of the
Equity packing plant company the
Equity Cooperative Exchange
and the North Dakota Potato
Growers association met, and in
connection with the big Fargo
home products show, the conven-
tion made a lively and interest
ing week for farmers at Fargo.

vention was the speechof former

Rescue Squads Using Helmets Did
Heroic Work-Worked All of
Saturday Night.

Clay, Ky.,-Twenty-four men dead
and 25 injured was the toll of an ex-
plosion here Saturday in the south en-
try of number seven mine of the West
Kentucky Coal company, according to
Charles S. Richardson, manager.
OF approximately 140 men in the
mine at the time of the explosion, Is
had been brought to the surface by
night, Manager Richardson said, of
whom 66 were uninjured. Those still
entombed in the inner workings can
not be reached soon, he believes. Hope
that many of them will be found alive
is slight.
Officials of the mining company say
it will be impossible to determine the
cause of the explosion until the work
ings have been cleared sufficiently to
permit a thorough examination.
Heroic work was done by volunteer
rescue squads in bringing to the sur
face all those it was possible to reach
without the use of helmets. the Work
was continued through the night.
The mine death list has reached 81
now.

THE VOICES OF TWO MILLION
DRIVEN, STARVING PEOPLE.

The call comes from over 10000
destitute and suffering people in
bleeding, poverty-stricken Armenia,
Caucasus, Persia, Syria, Palestine,
Egypt and Mesopotamia. From the
Bosporus to the Euphrates all is pow
erty, hunger and despair.
The call comes to the people of the
United States, the most prosperous
nation in the world Surely, Chris
tian America will recognize her debt
to these Bible lands and from her
abundance pour out her treasures.
There is no better way to show
gratitude for our liberties and for
our social and religious privileges
than by accepting responsibilities laid
upon us to provide the actual neces-
stiles of life for those who now re-
side in these ancient cities and among
these sacred hills.
Shall we make it possible for these
people to live or shall we allow them
to perish from the earth? This is
the burning question. Over a million
have already persisted. Their blood
cries from the ground.
Cooperate with the American Com
mittee for Armenian and Syrian Re-
lief, in the following ways: Church
or Mass Meeting; Club Conference;
Parlor Conference.
A branch of the American Commit
tee for Armenian and Syrian Relief
