Roofing
An investipation into methods of manufacturing would show that
only the best quality of roofing felts is used in CERTAIN-TEED
roofing. ‘This is thoroughly saturated with a blend of soft asphalts—
the formula of the General’s Board of Expert Chemists. It is then
coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which forms an impervious
coating and prevents the inner saturation from drying out.
This explains why CERTAIN-TEED outlives ordinary roofing, and
why it is possible to guarantee it for 5,10 or 15 years, according to
ply (1,2 or 3). The responsibility of the world’s largest manufacturer
of roofings and building papers is behind this guarantee; which is
conservative, as experience proves that C ERTAIN-TEED outlives
the period of guarantee.
“The General makes one third of America’s supply of asphalt roll
roofing. His facilities are unegualed, and he is able to produce the
highest quality roofing at the lowest manufacturing cost.
CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in a slate-surfaced shingles.
“There is a type of CERTAIN-TEED for every kind of building,
with flat or pitched roofs, from the largest sky-scraper to the smallest
residence or out building.
CERTAIN-TEED is sold by responsible dealers all over the world,
at reasonable prices. Investigate it before you decide on any type of
zoof.

EFFECT OF WAR ON
.~ PRICE OF WHEAT
The war's effect on wheat prices is
gradually running flour up to a figure
which is becoming burdensome on the
householder. .
Wheat prices during the wars of
the past hundred years have been as
follows: I
1815—Napoleonic wars, $1.76.
1855—-Crimean war, $1.28.
1864—-Civil war, $2.28.
1867—-Just after Civil war, $2.85.
1877—Russo-Turkish war, $1.76.
1898—£&'panish-American war, 31.85.
1904—Russo-Jap. war, $1.21.
1915—Furopean war, $1.65.
Averages pricé for 7 wars, $1.90.
These fiizures indicate that every
available acre should be planted in
wheat this fall.
Wheat is going to keep on heing
wheat for a long time to come—and
should flour go over ten dollars a bar
rel, it occurs to us, the government, in
order that tlre American people shall
not suffer, shrould place an embargo
on the product and fix a maximum
price. Why should America suffer
hunger because of the determination
of the balange of the world to murder
its neighbors 2—Richmond Virginian.

You see nothing of the wonderful switchboards where
skillful operators handle your call and the lines are “hooked

miles of copper wire, guarded every inch of the way from
all kinds of interference. .
You scarcely realize that during every morgent of your

THE CORDELE DISPATS H, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 18, 1916.
CARRIGAN'S TEAM
TOO MUCH SHORE CAUSE OF
BROOKLYN'S DEFEAT IN LAST
GAME OF WORLD’S SERIES.
Boston, Oct. 12—Theg Boston Ameri
cans firmly clamped the championship
laurels of the baseballl universe upon
their brows here this afternoon when
they defeated the Brooklyn Nation
als by a score of 4 to 1 in the fifth
and final game of the world's series
of 1916. The greatest crowd in the
history of the American national sport
witnessed the victory, 42,620 fans de
parting after the contest convinced
that the Red Sox were the baseball
machine par excellence of recent
years.
As a result of the four games to one
conquest over the standard bearers of
the National league, Boston is tonight
celebrating its fifth victory in world’s
geries since 1903, and there is added
joy in the fact that never had a Bos
ton team been forced to bow to the
superior power of a rival in such a
contest.
The victory over the Superbas in the
final meeting of the teams was SO
clean-cut and decisive ihat there was
left no ground for argument. That
the better team won the championship
(lespité the determined battles put up
by Brooklyn in the earlier games of
the series was obvious. Before the
speed and curves of Ernest Shore, of,
wast Bend, N. C., the Superbas were
well nigh helpless, while Jeff Pfeffer
the last hope of Brooklyn, proved un
equal to the task of holding the Red
Sox in check.
Although the Nationals were the
first to score, their advantage was
short lived, and once the Bostons un
limbered their heavy batting artillery,
any doubt regarding the outcome of
the game was dissipated, so closely
did Shore hold the Brooklyn clan in
the mystery of his deceptive delivery.
The invaders from Greater New York
were able to score only three hits
for a similar total of bases and the
solitary run scored was unearned. It
was the result of a pass, a sacrifice,
an out and a passed ball. Boston, on
the other hand, collected ten bases on
seven hits and two of its four runs
were earned, ‘
AUTOMOBILE TAX SALES REACH
THE 45,000 MARK IN GEORGIA
Clerk Harris, in Secretary Phil Cook’s
Office Feels Confident That Total
Disposal will Reach 50,000. ‘
Atlanta, Oct. 16.—Automobile tax
gales have turned the 45,000 mark and
@lerk Harris, in Secretary Cook’s of
fice, who has been handling the auto
mobile tag business since that law
went into effect, says there isn’'t a
doubt on his mind #hat this year will
ran up to or over 50,000. TLast year
the total number of tags sold was, in
round numbers, 25.000, or an evidence
this year, under the new law provid
ing for a graduate’s licens% charge, in
atead of the flat charge of §5 per car,
of couble the returns to the state.
Back of this are two conditions, ac
cording to Mr. Harris, which have both
gone a iong way toward making the
present success of the tag license
law. Under the 1916 law the-shnrq
of each county is allowed the same
fee for making out violations as in
oiher court cases; the other is the
graduated scale.

Moderate exercises in the open air
prolongs life.
By QC_)HN MOORE WALKER.
The readers of the Dispatch are
doubtless aware in a mild sort of way
of the persecution to which the Chris
tian inhabitants of Armenia, Syria,
and Palestine have been subjected by
their Turkish masters. It will not be
amiss, nowever, for more of tle de
tails of that suffering, well night un
imagineble,” to be given a wided pub
licity. 5
The Armenian massacres began with
{he able-bodied male population. These
mnen would be summoned to assemble
21 some convenient place outside the
village, and when none had been over
looked and had been conveniently
rounded up, the entire lot of them
would be butchered. Sometimes, the
men would be sent off under guard os
tensibly to a nearby town—in a few
hours the guard would return without
the prisoners who would never thence
forward be heard of.
The next stage would be horrible in
the extreme. Now the whole popula
tion of a village, the men having been
dnsposed of, would be ordered to pre
pare to leave at a certain hour for an
unknown destination. There were no
exceptions for the aged, the ill, the
women in pregnancy. No household
goods, no animalg, no extra clothing
could be taken along. Food supply
and bedding was limited to what a per
son could carry. And they had to go
on foot under the burning sun through
parched valleys and over snow cover
ed mountain passes. When htey would
pas through Christian villages where
the deportation order had not yet been
received, the travelers would not be
allowed to receive food or ministra
tions of any sort. The sick and the
aged and the wee children would fall
by the rcadside and not rise again.
Women in the throes of child birth
would be urged along by baycnet and
whip until the moment of delivery and
would then be left to bleed and to die.
The likely girls would be seized for
harems or raped day by day by the
guards until death would come as a
merciful release. Those who could
would commit suicide, crazed mothers
wonld throw their little éhilrden into
the river to avoid further suffering,
hundreds of thousands of women and
inpocent children died of hunger, of
thirst, of exposure, of shame.
An English woman who witnessed
a portion of this pilgramage of death
writes: “Oh! if they would only mas
sacre them and be done with it, as in
ihe Hamidian days! I stcod there at
the Adana railway station, and from
the carriages the women would hold
hold up their children, and croy for
water. They had got beyond the de
sire for bread. Only water!: there
was a pump. I went down on my
knees to beg the Turkish guards to
ot me give them a drink. But the
train moved on, and the last I heard
was the ery of these lost souls. That
was not once. It was almost every
day the same thing.”
Extracts from the report of the
American board, “Women giving birth
to children upon the road were for
bidden to delay by the way, and often
died from hemorrhage as they strug
gled on . . . Armenian professors
in American colleges, with university
degrees from INuropean and American
universities, were tortured by pulling
out their hair and beard and their fin
ger nails, by hanging them by their
arms for hours, and by beating. They
were afterwards killed.”
“The shortest method of disposing
of the women and children concentrat
ed in various camps,” in the words of
another report,” was to burn them.
Fire was set to large wooden sheds in
Alidjan, Megrokam, Khashkegh, and
other Armenian villages, and these ab
solutely ehlpless women and children
were roasted to death. Many went mad
and threw their children away; some
knelt down and prayed amid the
flames in which their bodies were
burning: others shrieked and cried for
help which came from nowhere. And
the executioners who seem to: have
been unmoved by their unparaleled
savagery. grasped the infants by one
leg and hurled them into the fire.” .
Now, reader, some of there wretched
ones have escaped through the fiery
trial, hard as it is te believe, only,
however, to die of starvation—that is
if help is not rendered them. A quota
tion from a letter of one who is en
gaged in their relief describes their
plight: “The people fight for the clot
ted blood of killed animals, they gnaw?
the bones which they find on, dung
hills, they look for grains of oats in
horse-dung, to eat them, they eat the
flesh of fallen animals and men. Many
'who cannot bear it any longer, throw
themselves and their children into
the Euphrates. Such horrible things
we see daily and can do nothing but
implore Godo for help and mercy. And
we consider it our ‘dutv to infor myou
of this terrible need. Dear sisters and
brothers, we beseech you, for Christ’s
sake, to come in some way to the aid
of this poor, miserable people, to save
it from horrible starvation. If pos
sible, send someone who himself can
see all this. When at all possible send
osme rich and lasting help.”
“Many die of hunger” writes an
other, “every day. The grave diggers
are always busy. The groans and
lamentations in the market place. in
the streets, and out in the quiet des
ert give our hearts no.rest. The chil
dren on the dung-hills! Ah! What am
