STIRRING MESSAGE IS HEARD IN SPEECH OF ' ARMENIAN LECTURER Strongest of all appeals heard In behalf of the murdered, starved and wronged peoples of Armenia, was the stirring message brought to Richmond Wednesday night by Lady Anne Azpapetlan. This surviving member of Armenia's nobility speaks with an earnestness occasioned by the still fresh remembrances of the cruelties borne by herself and her friends as well as countless thousands of others. She made her address before a mixed audience at the First Presbyterian church. Lady Anne described the bitter years of butchery stood by the Armenians at the hands of the Turks, but told of the ever reviving hope that America would send ample assistance. Armenians Told of America. "When T was working in the hospitals on the front, the women used to say to me. 'Sister, give us hope,' I knew what she meant. They wanted me to tell them of America. I told themt hat you supported societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, and if you killed a cat or a chicken with your automobiles that you were sympathetic, and that you got out and cried over it. "And they would say (do not blame them, Americans, after all that they have gone through), 'Are the lives of these- Christian babies cheaper to America than their cats and dogs?' "I would say to them. 'Girls, do not talk that way. The cats and dogs are with them. It is hard for America, so far away, to realize your suffering. Some day they will realize your plight and will come to your rescue.' "Five dollars a month will support a child over there, so you bte we do not give them ice cream sodas and movies. I am here because I promised the Armenian women that I would carry their message to you as often as you would (rive me an opportunity. I promised them that with Mt. Ararat, 1 he mountain thai has witnessed all the miseries, looking down upon me. They wanted me to toll you what kind

of people you are helping. The message they sent you was this: " 'We Armenian women at the foot of Mount Ararat, because you in America have not forgotten to send us help, every hour of the day are praying for America.' " Lady Anne and her husband can not return to Armenia because a price has been placed upon their heads. The speaker Wednesday night said that ope of the most horrible sights witnessed was that of 850 women and children in one locality who had been decapitated because the Sultan of Turkey had offered money for their heads. With the needs of Armenia still so acute, funds are being received in all parts of the country for relief work. Mrs. A. W. Roach, Wayne county chairman of the relief, is now out of subscription blanks, but she has announced that within a few days a headquarters will be opened on Main street, where subscription blanks can be obtained. Organizations will be especially urged to make substantial contributions. Individual gifts will be greatly appreciated.

(A.) That is a question that can bej

In some cities where the plan has I

been given a trial it has lowered the rate and in some others it has remained virtually the same; seldom has a raise in tax rate occurred. Editor's Note The foregoing questions and answers have been prepared to supply information which has be'tn requested.

Warns Against Buying 'Soil Inoculators' NEWCASTLE. Ind., June 2 Warning is given Henry county farmers by the county agent, Ralph Test, against buying "soil inoculators" advertised to produce enormous increases in the yields of various crops. Referring especially to a preparation aggressively advertised by a Chicago company, the agent points out that the advertising material of the company includes no claims that it contains legume bacteria, which is the only sort of soil inoculation that would have the effect claimed for the new preparation.
