coin, T. D. Rankin, of Garrard,
and many others. They say that
prospects for big tobacco crops
this coming season, make big
demand for good work mules, and
the right kind are going to sell
higher than in a long time,
Vernon Leer sold a horse mule
to A. D. McCord Monday for
$175.
Wills Rogers who recently
bought the Royce farm, near

GRIFFITH SENT BARTHEL-
MESS TO CHINA

The one, important thing in casting
the part Of the Chinese poet Chang
Huan, in Broken Blossoms which is
soon coming to the local theatres,
Wednesday and Thursday was to
secure a player whose facial ex-
preston would emphasize as fully as
possible that line. Of Thomas Burke's
in "Limehouse Nights, his love was
a pure and holy thing. Even his worst
enemies admitted that" 1t just
chanced that, looking around for the
right rsayer, Mr.. Griffith heard that
Richard Barthelmess was, for the time
being, at liberty to accept the difficult
engagement.
A college man, educated at Trinity
college, educated at Trinity College,
Haftf ord, he had already worked for
Mr. Griffith, who knew well of his
ability. Mr. Barthelmess began his
career as an actor for the screen in
"War Brides" and "The Eternal SIM.
The qualities Of simplicity and nat
uralness which he had displayed in
other films suggested him as the ideal
actor for the part of Chang Huan
and, in order that Mr.. Barthelmess
might get thoroughly into the atmos-
phere of the part, Mr.. Griffith sent
him from San francisco to Shanghai,
where he stepped himself in the color
and beautyof the Orient.

"RNERCIFUL GOD, It's all true !
isx Nobody has ever told the
whole truth! Nobody could +"
Thus Eleanor Franklin Egan, In the
Saturday Evening Post, quotes How
ard Heinz of Pittsburgh, Herbert
Hoover's representative in the Near
East, on the real conditions in Arme-
MIA as he saw them with his own eyes.
Mr.. Heinz had been one of those
who had believed the stories of star
walton and death in Armenia had been
exaggerated. Not until he went nm
self to the Caucasus did his views
change. Then he was shaken to the.
foundation of his soul by what he saw.
Fearful Awful! Horrible! Unbe-
lievablei' are some of the adjectlves
Mrs. Egan says must be used in speak
ing of conditions in the Near East,
where Near East Relief, / Madison
Avenue, New York, supported by con-
tributions from the American people,
is conducting the only organized effort
to save the lives of these utterly desti-
tute millions. Everything she saw and
heard justified the necessity for quick
and generous aid from America. Her
story of what she witnessed re-en-
forces the call of the Near East Re
lief for aid for stricken Armenia.
"'The Hunger grim is everywhere
evident" Mrs Egan writes. 1.-THE
pitiful hundreds seemed to me to be
weeping constantly. Not profoundly
as in grief, but whimperingly, ap-
pealingly as in unbearable physical
distress. terrible population. I'm
speakably filthy and tatterdemalion
throngs; shelterless, death stricken
throngs milling from place to place,
children crying aloud, women sobbing
in broken inarticulate lamentation;
men Utterly hopeless and reduced to
staggering weakness, needless of the
tears rolling down their dirt-streaked
faces"
That is her picture of the Arme-
mans most i'm evidence in Armenia.
These are the throngs. Then she
turns to the mobs. Large numbers
here and there, wide-eyed, eager, hands
outstretched in wolfish supplication ;
teeth barred in CHASTITY grin that had
long since ceased to smile--an emaciat-
ed skin-stretched grin, fixed and un-
controllable."

could not swallow my food? / threw
it to the children in the ravening
hordes and started small riots. The
children fought together, snarled and
clawed at one another for small bits
of army biscuit or morsels of bully
beef.
'And then / was told that many. Of
them were so starved that solid foot
