There is now being prepared for publication a
book to be entitled
HELPING THEMSELVES
which will contain the life story of the success
ful negroes of Arkansas. Only those who have
attained their success in a worthy manner, and
have demonstrated their worth to the common
wealth, will be permitted participation in this
book. “Helping Themselves” is to be a work of
art handsomely illustrated and bound in sheep
| gkii. The book will sell for 3.50 the copy for .
the art edition and 10.00 the copy for the de
luxe edition. The book should be in every
Negro home in Arkansas.
Those who have done anything to. make ,
themselves worthy and desire mention in the
book, are requested to write ,

Box 699, Little Rock, Arkansas
Among the references we are authorized to
give are: Chester E. Bush, Scipio A. Jones,
Bishop JM. Conner, Rev. E. C. Morris and
many others. Ask them about this great work
(erniuij, auu were yiospeiuus ueuntf
the war gave the Turks an opportun
ity to massacre and torture them be
cause of their religious views, and at
a time when Christian America could
scarcely join other Christian coun
tries in extending the protection that
in the past had in a measure deterred
the Turks.
But the Armenian and Syrian Re
lief, with its organization through the
missionaries, were able to maintain a
system of organization that gave some
relief. The Red Cross was unable to
give this relief, because of its inabil
ity to get into the country where the
suffering was the greatest.
Since the armistice was signed eth
er places hitherto inaccessible even
to the Armenian and Syrian Relief,
are now open, and the sums demand
ed are much larger. Every cent of
money contributed In this campaign
will go to relieve the distress of the
stricken people.
Every penny of the expense Is pro
vided for in another fund, supplied for
that purpose, so that not one cent of
the contributions is to be wasted.
The 75 counties of Arkansas are
asked for a total of $150,000 for this
great work, and Pulaski county will
be expected to raise $30,000 of the
amount. This amount is divided up
Into small quotas, so that each county
can do the work asked without much
effort, and without financial strain.
Arkansas has met every call on her
generosity in the past, and as this
will in all probability be the last of
tho calls growing out of the great
war, and Arkansas’ resources have
not been severely taxed, there Is no
reason to fear that the response will
fall, and it Is anticipated that & largo
oversubscription will result.
HOSPITALS FOR
THE PERSECUTED
U. S. Government Sells Equipment
For Nominal Sum For Worthy
Charity.
Fifteen hospitals, of 100 beds each,
Including complete equipment and
200 motor trucks, were purchased by
the Armenian and Syrian Relief Com
mittee from the United States Gov
ernment since the armistice was sign
ed, for a nominal sum. Buildings are
already available in Armenia, Syria
; and Turkey for this equipment, and
' it is now' being moved from Fiance.
Mora than two million Christian
Armenians, Greeks and Syrians, who
are in distress because of persecution
from the Turks, will thus be provided
for. The money derived from the Ar
menian and Syrian Relief Campaign,
February 3-10, will cause these hospi
tals to be available for the use ot
those afflicted peoples.
The quota for the whole State of
Arkansas Is only $150,000. The Unit
en mates Will raise iwi
the relief of these stricken peoples.

NEED FOR QUICK ACTION
If Relief Be Not Speedily Given Mil*
lions bf Christians in Far tfast
Will Starve.
M. L. Aitheimer, campaign director
for the Armenian and Syrian Relief,
has received cable advices from the
Near East, telling of the immediate
needs of the stricken peoples, who
are dying from actual starvation
there.
These people, to the number of
nearly 4,000,000, were driven from
prosperous homes by the merciless
Turks diming the war. Since the
armistice was signed the committee
has been able to extend relief where
It has hitherto been unable to pene
trate.
The campaign opens February 3
and In one week the seventy-dve
counties of Arkansas will raise $160r
