An Appeal to the American People *Y*HREE and one-half million children In Eastern and Central Europe • have uo alternative to disaster betweeu now and next harvest except American aid. For months these most helpless sufferers In the track of war have been admitted to American feeding-stations only If tragically undernourished, and have received American medical aid only If desperately threatened by death from disease. One 6 cant hot American meal today has saved a thousand Uvea. Winter la closing down. The money of many nations Is valueless outside their own boundaries. Economic and crop conditions make famine, with Its terrible train of diseases, a certain visitor until next harvest. Inevitably the helpless children will suffer most. No child can grow to health and sanity on the pitiful makeshifts for food with which -millions of European adults must content themselves this winter. It Is obvious that the remedy can come only from outside. America saved 6.000.000 European children winter before last. Nor ma I recuperation cut' the need nearly In half Inst year, but unusual condl tlons have resulted In scant shrinkage of child destitution during the twalveraonth Just past The response of America must now decide whether 3,500,000 of these charges, In acute distress, shall begin to be turned away In January from more than 17,000 asylums, hospitals, clinics and feedingstations dependent on American support There would be no tragedy In history so sweeping or so destructive of those who can deserve no evIL The undersigned organisations, working among every race and creed, many engaged also In other forms of relief, agree unanimously that the plight of these helpleas children should have complete priority In overseas charity until the situation la met This Is an issue without polities and without religions lines There can be no danger of pauperisation, far the $88,000,000 for child food, and the $10,000,000 for medical service that we seek, will relieve only the critical cases The medical supplies, of course, must be an unqualified gift but for every American dollar used in child-feeding, the governments and communities aided furnish twe dollars In the form of transportation, rent labor, clerical help, cash contributions and anch food supplies as are locally obtainable. America has not failed In the past In great beartedness. She has never had a more poignant call than this. Contributions should be turned ever to the local committees wblcb are now being formed for this national collection, or sent to Franklin K. JLane, Treasurer.

Heart-Breaking Smiles

There are thousands of kinds of smiles, but It would be mighty hard to picture even In the mind's eye smDes more poignantly tragic than those here seen. Two years of llfa have hfld little save misery for these Vienna youngsters, yet, even though the result Is painful, they smile. They are victims of rickets, ths offspring of near-starvation, and that countless others In stricken Europe may not have te share their fate eight American relief organisations, under the name of the European Relief Council, are making a Joint appeal for the conscience of America to complete relief work which this winter laces Its crisis. These agencies are the American Relief Administration, the American Red Cross, the American Friends' Service Committee (Quakers), the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the Federal Council ef Churches of Christ In America, the Knights of Columbus, the T. M. G. A. and the Y. W. C. A.

COUNTY JUDGING TEAM 1 S 1 1 . A Vocational Agricultural Judging ! j > composed of Russell Taylor, ! , Edgar McPherson, and Russell Bailey, ! . was in "Trenton last week, January 12 1 , to 14. They, with about ninety other i 5 Vocational students, were in attend- ' ance at a part of Farmers' Week 1 , meetings, for the purpose of gaining , ! f knowledge relative to agricultural ! . work and to prove -their ability as 1 > judges. 1 1 i The Vocational students met in the ] e Armory at Trenton, on Wednesday j » morning, in an informal way. During , . early afternoon, Professor Sampson, f Supervisor of Vocational Agriculture, • , in New Jersey, called the students and • their teachers together to outline the u plan of judging and to get the boys 1 acquainted with one another. The judging contest began Wednest day afternoon, at which time corn and e potatoes were judged. On Thursday morning the boys were taken to the

I Hospital Farm, to judge two s rings of swine; one Jersey Red, the « I other Berkshire; and one ring of Hol1 stein dairy cows. ^ There were eleven competing, teams ^ from various parts of New. Jersey, < from sections where at least one of j the classes judged, was a special fea- { ture of the agricultural work of that section. ! The judging in each class was very J proving the value of instruction ' | given to the students and the spirit placed in the work by students, j Our county team did not win any of the high honors, neither was it the lowest in rank. It seemed to be in the middle division. One member of the team, Russell Bailey, received third place honors in swine judging. This was worthy of note when you know there were thirty-three students in this particular contest." l The team ranking was as foHows: 1 Corn judging, sixth place; dairy, sev- i enth place; potato, eighth place; and ;

swine, nineth place. Our motto *8 them again for next year." - Our county won the "Zimmerman Oup," given for the best exhibit of th# Agricultural Work of th* The cup is a beauty and will displayed in various parts of the county ddring the year. The boys had the pleasure of visiting several places of interest while in Trenton, some of which were: State Capitol, State Hospital Farm, State Prison, and part of State Normal School. Possum dog out in Dallas county treed eighteen quarts of moonshin# liquor. Fellow over in Shelby county wants to know the price of the dog. Some people send off hundreds O? miles to buy articles at mail-order houses, and then they are mad because local stores do not carry missing [ parts when the thing breaks down.
