The campaign was opened al Stras-

meeting, held at the Christian Church,
with a stereoptican lecture by Rev.
Lloyd Anderson, Of Rockingham
County. Rev. Anderson showed pic
lures taken from life depicting the
actual conditions suffered by the Ar
menfans, Syrians and others at the
cruel hands of the murderous Turks,
and revealed the dire need of immedi-
ate help to save thousands of lives
this winter and spring.
The County Committee had planned
to give these illustrated lectures in
each District in the County, but owing
to the churches and schools being
ordered closed by the Board of Sup

doned.
Each District Chairman will Or

people for subscriptions to this most
worthy cause. The public is urged
to make liberal subscriptions in or
der that the County may secure more

and Syrian appeal is the most heart
rending and pitable of all the calls
made on the American people by the
war. These are people of the Chris

given for this cause is used by repre-
sentatives of our Government anc
missionaries in buying food ant

words brought sadness to man,
hearts. She was but little child
only three years old. BY her swee
Idispositiou and winning ways, she
had found place in the affections O.
SO many people, who realize that they

know that they have lost something
that cannot be replaced.
We have lost, but heaven has
gained, a precious jewel
Little Charlotte was victim OF in
fluenza last Tuesday morning, and as
she passed away, the rising sun could
not dlspell the darkness that en-
shrouded the home. Her departure

parents, Mr.. and Mrs w. D. Sager
and other relatives who, in their great
bereavement. have the heartfelt sym
pathy of scores, who knew and loYed
little Charlotte.

"DRECO is GREAT"
SAYS MOVIE MAN
PETERSBURG THEATRICAL OPERATOR
SAYS 1T HAS DONE Me WORLDS
OF GOOD AND IS ALSO HELP
ING MY NEITHER. "

Few people seem to realize how
much of the success or failure Of a
moving picture performance really
depends upon the skill and steady
nerve of the moving picture machine
operator. He is seldom seen by the
audience yet his work can make Or
mar the show.
L. W. Mayor OF 10 Shepherd
Street, Petersburg is pc h ps one
the most skilled and sue, esstul III v
ing picture machine operators IN this
section. He is in charge Of the show
at the Academy of Music in Peters
burg and it is through his efforts
that clean wholesome amusement is
furnished for thousands OF people.
The close confinement and trying
work however, has lately shown its
effect on Mr.. Mayton and for time
he suffered severely from form Of
gastritis and nervous indigestion.
These developed later into severe
headaches, constipation, loss of ap
petite and sleeplessness until 1t seemed
as though he would be compelled to
abandon his work and rest But he
discovered in time that there was q
medicine which seemed made to order
for just such Affections as his and
here is his signed statement telling
experience with medicine:
81 don't suppose it will be neces-
sary for me to 60 into details about
ny symptoms as there are probably
thousands of other men and women
who are in the same fix as I was. All
l want to say is that took just one
bottle of this new herb medicine,
Dreco, and it has done me worlds OF
good My mother also takes it and
her strength is increasing daily. Fer
nerves are qnieted and her appetite is
good. Dreco is great"
NOTE: Dreco is not an expensive
medicine. 1t is within the reach OF
the rich and poor alike. 1t is safe
pleasant to take and contains no in
furious mineral drugs. Dreco Is
dispensed by good drug stores ant
pharm acies almost everywhere and is
particularly recommended in Wood
stock by Schmitt's Drug Store. adv

Did You Lose 4 Fountain Pen

At one time, umbrellas lost were
seldom returred; but the loss of UNI
brellas is rot comparable to the loss
of Fountain Pens. The loss Of money,
watches, jewelry has been advertised
and the articles haye been returned
to the owners. The watch for which
reward of fifteen dollars was offered
was recovered through the ADVERTISE
meut in the HERALD. Pocket books,
containing money from one to fifteen
dollars, have been returned, but
seldom is q fountain pen returned. 1t
is just as dishonest to keep pen as
it is a pocket book or sum of money
a man is as much under obligations
to try to find the owner of a fountain
pen as he would be to find the owner
OF a stolen horse.
This article has been inspired by
the fact that the writer knows of the
loss of more than half dozen pens,
none of which has been returned

heavy veil and goggles entered the

stock who is cashier of the bank en-
tered the bank and proceeded with
his duties at the same time over
hearing the conversation. Mr.. Geary
had motored from his home In Wood

alert mind that he had passed no

to him he told her that the First
National Bank was liquidating and

The woman left the bank going inn

lated the story to Cashier Edgar W.
Newman. Mr.. Newman communicate
ed with the Mount Jackson Bank and
aScertained that check on Casper A.

part aroused Mr.. Newmau's sus-

have no trouble having it cashed in

The next move on the part of the
check flasher was to 60 to the New

Ford car and was brought to Edin-
burg where she passed two checks
one for $1,000 and one for S25 90 at
