STARVING BABIES
APPEAL TO YOU.
Armenians Are Dying BY The
Thousands For Lack of Ne
cessaries of Life u Rich
America Is Called on to
Do Christian Duty.

To the People of Tazewell County:
l have received letter from the
Treasurer of the Committee of Ar
menian and Syrian Relief, acknowl-
edging Il contribution and saying
that without which at least some of
these people would perish" and ask
ing that make an Appeal for other
contributions in this county. In COM
pliance with this request l am ad-
dressing this letter to YOU, whoever
you may be.
The fact that thousands of Ar
menian and Syrian women and chill
dren are literally dying of starvation
every day, is established by spec
ial message Of the President appeal
ing to YOU to help them.
The Government cannot help them
as such, because it can only pay out
money by authority of law and under
the law Congress cannot appropriate
the peoples money for such charity.
Contributions must come from those
who are able to see PERSONAL
OBLIGATION IN TEE NEEDS OF
OTHERS.
this county SO poor that he could not,
by some slight sacrifice and self de-
nial, give dollar or more to this
cause, if he could see any personal
obligation to do it.
Of course there is not Il man in the
county who would not acknowledge
personal obligation to save hu-
man being who was starving within
his eyesight, or who would not will
lingly make some sacrifice to do so.
No intelligent man, whose spirit
ual vision goes beyond his physical
senses, would avowedly limit his help
to those starving on his doorstep.
The starving condition of these
Armenian and Syrian women and
children is brought within you knowl-
edge by your President, so that you
cannot doubt the fact. Your help de-
pends solely upon how far you can
hear a cry for help and see 4 non-le-
gal duty. Our obligation is>not meas
ured by the distance between us and
the victims Of hunger, bet by our
knowledge of their hunger and our
ability to feed; else we admit our
obligation only to the hungry who
otherwise must be kicked out of our
path. Acknowledgements of contribu-
tions will be made through this paper
and receipts issued by the National
Treasurer.

WAR STAMPS NOW.

"Thc two liberty loans, achieved
wonderful success" says the North
American. Both loans were over
subscribed, the first one for . billions
by 5l per cent; the second for three
billions by 5i per cent; the total of the
two subscriptions totaling the stu
pcndous sum of seven billion 600 mil
lion dollars. =" This nmo,n,
was subscribed, not by few rich
men or corporations. but by fourteen
@il!ion American citizens of all class
os, and races. And, so. fourteen mil
'ion citizens now own Liberty Bonds,
paying interest. Many of these people
never believed that it was possible for
them to save anything for II rainy
Jay. They have been started on u
row hnc of business thrift. which will
result III great good in many ways i'm
Tie future.
War Stamps For Revenue.
y sale of thrift stamps and war
i.vings certificates was authorized
by the last Congress and will take cf
Icct about the first of next month.
these thrift stamps will sell for 25
cents. Az often as these stamps are
purchased they viii be pasted on n
card furnished, and when sixteen have
been purchased mn exhangc may be
made for II government certificate,
worth $i.i0. which bears interest and
will be worth $500 at the end of five
years.
Twenty of these $i.l2 certificates
will cost about $S2.l0 which the pov-
crnmcnt will redeem at the cxpira-
ton of five years for an even 500,
giving II profit of SLIGO or thcrca
bouts, on nn Investment of $50. 40.
This plan of raising money is expect
cd to yield in these small sums severn!
billion dollars all of which, with in
tcrcsI, will be returned to the pur-
chaser of stamps, at the expiration of
live years. One great advantage here
iS that every citizen, male and female
OF all races, tribes and colors, will
have I'M opportunity to do the pa
lriotic and help win the war, who
could not subscribe to the Liberty
Loan.

paper, sent out by the Food Admins

the Government regulations for this
grade of wheat (Red Winter Grade)
