IT PAYS TO
Read the Ads

IME was, and within the memo
ries of many of US, when but
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's
proper place in the economy of life.
Much OF it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising imp owed,
and it came to be of use and service
to the people. It developed, gradual
ly, into medium Of information for
the people about commodities and

Especial to the Starr

Washington, Oct. ia large part
of this years wheat crop has graded
high at the markets-No. or better,
under the federal wheat standards
made effective this year. The United
States department of agriculture
calls attention to the exact figures
because persistent false rumors have
been circulated in the grain trade,
and particularly among country ship
pers and producers, to the effect that,
under the new federal standards for
wheat, very little of the marketed
crop is being, or has been, placed in
the higher grades. On the contrary,
the requirements of the federal stand
ards for wheat are not such as to
work hardship on the country ship
pers and producers, for under these
standards high grades have been
given to a heavy percentage of the
wheat marketed.

ITS A GREAT EVENT
Session of the Southern Commercial
Congress in New York
City
(Associated Press

New York, Oct. 17.-'The South
fights whole heartedly with the en-
tire nation in the war;" Senator
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois,
told delegates of the Southern Com
mercial Congress at a banquet to
them last night. eff Germany had
won at the Marne," he said, "they
would have conquered Britain and
France and used their fleets to invade
this country. Every port south from
Key West to New Orleans and every
seagate from New Orleans to Nor
folk would have been blockaded."
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld,
another speaker, declared it would be
a very different world of trade after
the. war, as a result of America and
Britain awakening to the necessity of
producing their own industries indie
pendent of Germany. He said Ger
many would be surprised after the
war that she has no monopoly of such
industries as potash and dyestuffs.
Senator Duncan u. Fletcher of
Florida, president of the congress and
Governor Manning of South Carolina,
were among the speakers at the re-
ception by Mayor Mitchell to the dele
gates. Many diplomats attended.

STORY
OF ATROC|TY
Hundreds of Thousands of Greeks i'm
Turkey Murdered or Driven
from Their Homes
ASSOCIATED Press)

New York, Oct. 17.-Not sated by
the slaughter of hundreds of thou
sands of Armenians and Syrians, the
Turk has also turned against the
Greek Christians in his dominions
and more than 100000 have fallen a
victim to persecution in the form of
death, suffering or deportation, it was
declared here today by Frank w.
jackson, of this city, chairman of the
relief committee for Greeks of Asia
Minor. He said the real details of
these new Turkish atrocities were
just beginning to leak out.
"The story of the Greek deporta-
tion is not yet generally known" said
Mr.. Jackson. Quietly and gradually
the same treatment is being meted
out the Greeks as to the Armenians.
Although closely guarded, certain
echoes of these horrors come out from
time to time.
There were some two or three mill
lion Greeks in Asia Minor at the out
break of the war in 1914, subject to
Turkish rule. According to the latest
reliable and authoritative accounts
some seven to eight hundred thousand
have been deported, mainly from the
coast regions into the interior of Asia
/ Minor.
"The Greeks of Asia Minor have
always been law-abiding and perfect
! ly loyal to the Turkish government.
Under Abdul Hamid they were well
treated, but his successors adopted a
program to crush them.
"At the declaration of the present
war all prosecutions were stopped but
the spring of 1915 brought to the
stage a tragic, novel drama unique I'm
the history of the world as to it's hor-
rors an ddestructiveness, that is the
Armenian deportation; under that in
nocent name the determination of a
Christian race was started.
"Along with the Armenians most of
the Greeks of the Marmera regions
and Thrace have been deported on the
pretext that they gave information to
the enemy. Along the Aegean coast
| Aivalik stands out as the worst suf-
ferer. According to one report some
10000 Greeks there have been deport-
ed toward Koria and beyond. At
least 1000 have been slaughtered. The
Greek bishop of Aivalik committed
suicide in despair.
"The latest account from Trebizond
shows the towns along the Black Sea
are being emptied of their Greek pop
ulation. From Lyndon S. Crawford,
missionary of the American board at
| Trebizond we have a letter dated
July "a, 1917. in which he says the
following order came from Turkish
army headquarters at Sheishehie: "By
1925 July let no Greek man over 16
and under so be found in Ordou. Send
all such on into the interior. AS for
the families. we will send further or
ders later"
