At the state conference of Mean
East Relief workers, held in Milwau-
kee recently, there was no more tell
ing address made, or no more vlvlo
story of Armenia told, than by Miss
Elizabeth Kelley, returned worker
and a former University of Wiscon-
sin woman.
Miss Kelley declares that due to
the efforts of Americans, there are
at least 100000 Armenians who have
been saved from starvation. She was
stationed at Aintab, south of Armen-
ia, for a year. This section of the
country, which was SO well known for
it's spinning and weaving industry,
had not loom left in the place" she
said. "The Turks had scrapped them
and it our job to dig them out and
get them to working again. We got
bales of cotton and soon the women
were spinning garments for them
selves and for 1000 children in our
orphanages.
eve had barely started work when
the French relieved the British as
the army of occupation and the Turk
began warfare again. They attacked
the Armenians and the shops closed
again, food became scarce, and the
supply trains were robbed. The first
three weeks of April year ago, we
were cut off from the outside world
by the Turkish nationalist armies,
and were constantly under fire. They
we've fighting at Narash, only 20
miles from our hospital. There were
10000 Armenians killed or taken,
and of these 1000 were burned to
death in a church.
"A whole nation was deported,
most of the people killed and the rest
driven to the Arabian desert. Dur
ing the deportation, some of them
were so maddened by thirst that when
they got to the Euphrates river, fill
with dead, they pushed these bodies
aside in order to drink the water. 1t
was not unusual to see the bodies of
women and children in the street, be-
ing eaten by dogs. The little child
rem that are alive are nothing but
bones and their eyes are nothing but
mass of flies. Most of them are
naked and some of them haven't a
scrap of clothing.
"Their fear of the Turk is some
thing pathetic, but they are not cow
ards. Every day the Turk made an
amistice and every night ne broke
it. / want Americans to know that
the Armenians are worth while and
that they believe in us. They don't
want charity-they want the necess-
tiles of life and chance to open up
their industries"
Miss Kelley will speak at the Nor
NAL auditorium, River Falls, next
Wednesday evening, Dec. 20. No
charge for admission. Everyone is
urged to come anG near her.

Aircraft Conditions.

Several American commissions have
recently made an investigation into
the aircraft conditions in different
parts Of the world, and they agree that
this country has the opportunity to lead
the world in civilian aeronautical &C.

in 1920. 1t was the joint opinion Of
these commissions that the United
States is ahead Of all other countries
in number Of planes actually ordered

QUESTION CLEARED UP
Bemidji Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.

Again and again we have read OF
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Bemidji's pertinent question has
always been "Has anyone here in
Bemidii been cured?" The word Of
a stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but it cannot have
the same weight with us as the word
# our own citizens, whom we kpo"
and respect, and whose evidence we
can so easily prove.

POSTAL EMPLOYEE SEES
MANY CHANGES IN TIME

St. Paul, Aug. 18.-When the nrst
air mail ship arrived here from Chi
cago last Thursday inaugurating the
aerial mail service to the northwest
and this city, one Of the most inter-
esting spectators was Patrick
O'Brien, special clerk at the local
post office. AS the government plane
alighted and the mail bags were toss
ed to waiting trucks, O'Brien, the
oldest postal employee in the service
here rounded out another epoch in
his half century as a mail clerk.
During his long years of service,
AZ of them, spent as assistant post
master, O'Brien saw every change in
St. Paups postal service from the
little box ued in the pioneer days,
which stood on the river bank and
did service as a post office for the
settlers, to the present aerial mail.

Minnesota Farmer Makes Trip
of Many Miles to Renew
His Supply of Tanlac

"I've come to town today on bust
ness and the main part of it is to
get more Tanlac," was the state
ment made by Alfred Bauer, a pros
porous farmer living at Buhl, Mime
sofa, while in St. Paul recently.

healthy man until two years ago,
when my stomach and kidneys got
all out of order and I have been
gradually getting worse ever since.
My appetite went back on me and
fell off in weight until it scared me.
The little I ate turned against me
and caused gas to form on my stom-
ach so bad I could hardly stand it.
My kidneys worried me continually
and my back hurt terribly and I was
subject to awful weak spells. Every
few days l had to take something for
constipation and often had severe
dizzy spells.
"About five weeks ago I started
taking Tanlac and actually it has
built me up so fast I don't feel like
the same man.. Why, my troubles
have all been completely stopped and
l can't tell there was ever anything
the matter with me. never had
better appetite than I have now and

what gave it to me-"
