ARMENIA NEEDS FOOD
Supply Is Exhausted, American
Relief Workers Report.
Bread Is Made From all Sorts Of Sub
Understanding Of Winter Re-
veals Terrible Conditions
Seed Grain Needed.

New YOrk.-A cablegram received
by Charles V. Vickrey, general secre-
tary Of Near East Relief, dated Alex
andropol, tells of how investigation by
American relief workers has revealed
terrible starvation among refugees and
orphans with the breakup Of winter in
the mountain villages Of central Ar
menia.
Foodstuffs throughout the area are
exhausted, the cable says, and con-
tinues: Bread is made from all sorts
of substitutes, including flax, chaff and
sawdust, having no appreciate food
value. The people are extracting un-
digested materials from old refuse and
giving it to the children. Health con-
ditions are critical Gastric and in
festival troubles prevail, due to NAL
nutrition. A large per cent of the
people are suffering from skin diseases.
One-fourth of the adults are incapaci-.
tated and bedridden.
"In the villages visited there are
1,5OO orphans who should be removed
Immediately if they are to live. Even
in small villages the weekly death list
includes ten children. In many villages
all children have lost their hair during
the winter. Several cases were so des-
perate that the people resorted to eat
ing human flesh, which practice was
sharply punished by the authorities.
Officials said they are doing all they
can to prevent it, but the people lose
their senses from hunger. At NAH
maudchuk a family of fifteen persons
was visited a month ago. Now only
three of the family remain. The dead
include all the male members Of the
family. Great anxiety is expressed
about securing seed and grain for
spring planting. The head man of the
largest village said: If we can secure
seed we shall be on our feet by mid
summer. If we don't get seed we are
doomed to DEATH"
Near East Relief has sixty American
relief administrators, doctors and
nurses in this area. During the winter,
however, their supplies and resources
have been so reduced that they have
been able to do little more than care
for the large number of orphans al.
ready accepted in institutions, single
orphanage numbering $4,000 children
Secretary Vickrey declares that not
only the lives of the orphaned children
this spring, but the food supply fol
the entire population next winter de-
ponds on the prompt dispatch within
the next few weeks of grain for foot
| and seed from the United States.

SOME FIRST THINGS IN B0UR
BON.

According to an ancient record
discovered by County Attorney David
Cline, the first crop of corn grown
in Bourbon county was produced on
Cooper's Run by Jas. Cooper in the
summer of 1775. Cooper was killed
by the Indians the following winter
in the massacre of Hinkston station.
The same record states that the
first order book of Bourbon county,
when Bourbon county was part of
Virginia, shows that County Court
awarded to the heirs of James Coop
er 1000 acreso land on the Hink-
ston fork of Licking river for hav-
ing improved his farm by growing
a crop of corn on it in IT'S.
The first fines in Bourbon were
those assessed against four men
summoned as grand jurors, who fail
ed to appear, and fined 400 pounds
of tobacco each.
The first court held in Bourbon
county was at the residence Of
James Garrard, May 16, 1886. Jas
Garrard was County Judge, Benja
min Harrison Sheriff and John Ed
wards County Clerk.

FIND ANCIENT SCRIPT
Writing Similar to Chinese Dis
covered in Idaho.
Chemists Will Explore Caves and De-
cipher the Writing Before Reveal. .
ing Leeation-May Find
Valuable Relics.

Boise, Idaho.-Symbols and signs,
chiseled, 1t Is believed, ages ago, were
discovered recently on lava rocks in
a remote section Of Owyhee county,
southwestern Idaho.
Many Of the inscriptions bear
striking resemblance to Chinese al
phabet characters of today, it was
said, although psychologists say they
may be anywhere from 400 to 10000
years old.
Discovery of the inscriptions, which
are said to be a mine of archaeological
treasure, was made by Robert Linn
bert, a Boise taxidermist. Their exact
location will not be made public until
they are examined thoroughly this
summer by number of scientists who
are coming here.
The volcanic rock on which the in
scriptions are carved is scattered over
a 30-acre sagebrush fiat. In the i'm
mediate vicinity are several large
caves, around the entrance of which
the rocks also are inscribed. It is be-
lieved these caves never have been
explored. Possibly, it Is said, they
contain many relics of scientific value
Two distinct types of carvings, ideO-
graphic and Photographic, have been
noted. ArcheolOgists believe the ideO-
graphic antedates by many years the
Photographic. Both systems have been
found together on one rock and near
them can be discerned what appears
to be third system, supposed to ante
date both of the others, but which has
weathered beyond possibility of deci-
phering.
Clear bits of this prehistoric writing
are found on one huge water-worn
bowlder 25 feet long, IA feet wide and
feet high. Near the center is a
series of triangles believed to indicate
Indian tepees, and next to them are
rows of dots and dashes, thought to
be numerals.
Resemblance of many of the in
scriptiOns to the characters Of the
Chinese alphabet was taken by some
to substantiate the theory that the
North American native descended
from a race which came from Asia
by way of Boring straits.
Indians now living in Idaho, when
questioned regarding the carvings, say
the more modern or Photographic are
the work of their fOrefatherS, but
they assert the others to be the work
of spirits.

STRADIVARIUS BRINGS $4,000
Maker Received 30 Francs for II
When He Made II in
1875.

Paris.-A Stradivarius violin, for
which the maker, Antonius Stradi-
yarius. received so francs when he
made it at Cremona in 1735, has just
been sold here for 103,4OO francs, in
Guiding the war tax. This is equiva
lent at current rates Of exchange to
about $4,000.
The violin was for a long time the
property of the late Charles Lamour
eux. founder and conductor of the
famous Lamoureux orchestra.
The recent tests, which seemed tt
establish that modern-made vlollns car
not. be distinguished from ancient one:
by their tone, do not seem to have
affected the price Of ancient instru
ments, if this sale is any criterion.
