BANKS WILL RECEIVE
MONEY FOR RELIEF Of
ARMENIA AND SYRIA

Arrangements have been made
whereby every bank in Ardmore
and Carter county is to receive
and account for subscriptions to
the Armenian-Syrian relief fund.
County Chairman G.. p. Selvidge re
ported this morning that more than
half of Carter county's quota of &c.
600 has been paid in cash. The com
mittee is working hard to complete
the quota, and it is urged that those
who have not subscribed already
shall turn in their contributions at
the banks.
Guy p. Cobb. one of the working
members of the committee who has
given most of his time to the cam
paign for the past week, said this
morning that more than 40 lawyers
have contributed to the fund. their
contributions aggregating 10 per
cent of the quota. At Writ last
week Mr.. Cobb got contribution
of $50 from n Syrian in the mer-
camille business there, who had
vouchers showing that he already
had sent 5000 for the relief of the
stricken people of his country, and
Armenia.
This Syrian" said Mr.. Cobb, cal
so told me that he had information
confirming the report carried by the
Associated Press and published in
The Ardmorete and other papers a
few days ago to the effect that some
of the starving peoples of those
countries are eating the flesh of the
dead"
Members uf the relief fund com
mittee feel that no further argu-
ment TO prove the pathetic need of
money for this cause should be re
quired. They hope to complete the
quota within a few days and they
appeal to every citizen to do his
or her share in this splendid duty of
