that it was crumb of bread, if nothing more.
 These people are the most hor- rible sights to look at 1 ever beheld," Miss Pearson said. "They are so ema- clated that they look like skeletons. Their stomachs are distended like drums, their teeth protrude fearfully, their lips as thin as paper, and they are so weak they can scarcely walk or talk. Imagine the conditions when say that the Near East relief had from 110,000 to 12,000 of these starv- ing children to care for, and in ad- dition, 5000 adults were fed from the soup kitchens These huge fig ures numbering humanity were mere dots on the surface, there are so many more looking to the Near East relief for succor.
 'I shall never forget an incident, very pitable one, that came into my life when I was in Erivan," Miss Pearson said. One evening after the days work was over and we were gathered into the personnel house which was headquarters for our Near East relief workers, and we were supposed not to receive any one at all or hear their stories. there were five little emaciated, starving boys who applied for entrance. Be- ing children, we couldn't turn them away, so they came in Their story was so pitiful; they had walked mind you, walked--500 miles just to get to the Americans, the Near East relief workers, because they knew we'd help them. They told us their pitiful story, and after looking the situation over, we found that we had room for only one of the little fel- lows. We asked them which one would come; they didn't know; they shook their little heads and started away. Presently we saw them com ing back. and four of the little boys pushed the fifth little fellow for ward, and told us if we had room for only one to take him, as he was the snartest, and would be of more value to Armenia in later years than they, and so they wanted him to be cared for. Can you imagine our dis tress at having to turn those other fcur pitiful, starved, unselfish little boys away? And yet what could we do? We had room for only 2S chill dren, food for only that number, and so, as badly as we hated to do it, we had to say no to those poor little fellows.
 lima zine America with all her wealth and prosperity, allowing such thing to happen in that land of starvation and suffering.' Miss Pear : son said, the tears starting to her eyes as she told the story, for as she says, she can scarcely relate 1t without breaking down and crying over the pitiable conditions.
 I'd go back today if I could" she said enthusiastically, and continue my work, as heartrendng as it was, but the Near East relief people feel that I am of more value here than there, so l am doing my level best to tell the people of America what the narrowing. awful situation is over there.

 WHY DOES SHE LOOK. so
 OLD?

This question has been asked about many q woman under thirty. who has mar ried and taken upon herself the cares of house and young children.
 When a woman is suffering from female weakness. bearing down pains. head and back ache and nervers irritation, it is well nigh impossible to attend to her duties and retain the charm and freshness of youth. Must she then struggle on toward the in- evitable nervous breakdown or premature old age?
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound hrs saved many women from such a fate. Thousands of grateful letters from such women testify to the merits of this wonderful root and herb medicine for fe- male ils.-Adv.

660T doesn't matter how terri T, :
 ble and how narrowing the
 e descriptions you have had of the suffering in Armenia have been it doesn't matter how impossible and improbable they may seers, they are nothing like what really exists there. The conditions are indescribable"
 The speaker was Miss Gertrude S. Pearson of Chicago, who is in Bir- minghsm for the purpose of assisting in the Near East relief drive" now in progress, and one of the most in telligent and charming young women who has ever visited here.
 Miss Pearson comes from the Ma tional Near East Relief association, and is sent to various sections or the country at various times when the Near East relief drives are in pro gress.
 Miss Pearson knows whereof she speaks. for during the l4 months she spent in the heart of suffering ana starving Armenia, she was in posi- ton to see with her own eyes and hear with her own ears the terrible tragedies which were constantly taking place in this far-off eastern cline.
 Most of the time" Miss Pearson said. q was in the town of EriVan, right at the base of Mount Arrarat' which is known to biblical scholars the world over. That seemed to make the conditions all the more terrible to think that in the Holy Land, you might say--at least on sacred ground where the people of old lived ana made history--that such scenes or such atrocities should now obtain there
 .Erivan is a city normally of 4o,ooo inha abitants," she continued, but dur ing the time I was there, shorus before the armistice, floating pop ulation of 100000 refugees peopied the city. Imagine town capanie of housing only 10000 people, with 100 900 crowding its city limits! Ana such puiful, poor, suffering human itv as it was. Starved, emaclateo and so ravenous for food that as the Americans passed along tho streets and chanced to drop anything, the poor creatures, like starved ooss, would run and pick it up, hoplhs

Minot Men Would Assist in Law En-
fOrcement

For some time number of the men
Of Minot have been moving to form an
organization the object of which is to
sift out rumors and charges and as
certain the truth; promote better un-
derstandings among citizens, private
and official; strengthen the hands of
the officers in enforcing the laws and
in general, procure better conditions
for the city. The aim is to ultimately
form a permanent organization to
carry on this work. Monday evening
a meeting was held in the offices of
DR.. E. NJ. Ransom. Twenty-Five men
were invited and % of them were pres
ent, it is reported. The men present
included Larry NJ. Byrne, 0. B. Herig-

of directors of the Great Northern
Railway Co, Ralph Budd, president OF
the Great Northern and vice-president
Kinney, will in all probability address
a membership meeting Of the Minot
Association Of Commerce early in

James Milloy, secretary of the AS

he would be pleased to accept the in.
vitation and he had no doubt but
that both Mr.. Budd and Mr.. Kinney
would also be pleased to visit Minot
at that time. Upon the return Of
President Budd from the east, he
promised to take the matter up with
him.
The Association of Commerce has
some pleasing features in store for its
members. These men will bring i'm
portant messages to this city. Other
noted men are to appear at other
meetings.
It is understood that according to
present plans, only members of the
Association will be permitted to at

MlN0T'S NEEDY WILL RECEIVE
MANY CHRISTMAS BASKETS: NO
one SHALL BE OVERLOOKED

Main street has netted about 1925 and
SIS more is needed. This will be
Forthcoming.
The Good Fellows, who have
functioned for number of years will
work in conjunction with the Salvation
Army, Elks, and other organizations.
A meeting of representatives of the
Elks Lodge, Salvation Army and Ro-
tary Club met Monday evening and
discussed the situation.
The Salvation Army prefers to put
out its own baskets, about 100 of them
The Elks and Rotary will put out
about Is baskets. They will be
furnished a list by Mrs. Campbell, of
the United Charities. 1t may be that
there will be some Implications though
this will not hurt anybody. The main
thing is, that no one should be missed.
The baskets to be furnished by the
Elks and Rotary will include one-half
bushel of potatoes, a large chunk OF
fresh pork, sack of -four and candy
and apples.
The baskets will be sent out Satur-
lay afternoon.
The girls of the Minot Normal are
furnishing many dolls and toys, which
have already been made and delivered
at the Elks home.
That there is need of Christmas
charity cannot be denied. There are
many people too proud to ask for aid
yet who are in urgent need of same.
A Minot grocer informs the Indepen-
dent of the following circumstance as
an example. A little woman entered
his store the other day and bought five
cents worth of onions, five cents worth
of carrots and seven cents worth of
beans, enough for very meager meal
for herself and little ones, but not
enough for square meal. There are
a good many folks out of employment
in our city. Many poor folks have
come over from Canada and some have
come in off the farms. Wages have
been reduced and the merchants are
compelled on account of financial
conditions to exact cash transactions
in most cases. Fuel is cash. Sew
eral months of cold weather are
ahead and something must be done
for these people not only during the
Holiday season which is at hand, but
during the months to come.
