I n Our Allies in the Near East By Ciiarmss Evans Hucuus Probably at no time in tiic history of the world have there been so many fatherless and mother less children as there arc today. Tens of thous ands, probably hundreds of thousands in Ar menia! Syria, Caucasus, Persia, Mesopotamia and Palestine arc not only without parents, but arc without any strong parental government to give them the help and protection which orphan children of other lands enjoy. American Consuls and missionaries cable the American Committee for Relief in the Near Iinst, almost daily regarding the situation. One message from the Russian Caucasus pleads for the support of 10,000 children at an average expense of two dollars per mouth per child. Another from Tiflis reports 40,000 children in one region waiting for an answer to a previous cablegram requesting help. Reports from other points indicate similar conditions. Among the many appeals it is possible for this committee to assume responsibility for only the most pressing cases, and it is upon these that the committee would focus the attention of the American peo ple. Splendid help has been rendered the little ones in other lands, but these in Western Asia are no less human than those who have already been aided by American charity. It is the duty of Americans, as welt as a privilege to respond to this great opportunity and help Keep alive the Iwst civilization that Western Asia his developed. All expenses of administration for this relief arc privately met, 90 that every dollar sent to the committee i used directly liy their agents in purchasing food and supplies for the needy who, according to the best advices and from audited reports, receive the full benefit of the funds sent them. Out of the horror and nightmare through which these people have passed comts the gratify iiig word that we can l of assistance; that our effort will prove availing, and that wc can share with lhcc orphan children the bounty which we, as Amerienin, have enjoved for years. The work done by this committee hm been most tuiwlfiili and effective under conditions of great personal sacrifice. May America respond to their appeals. a i JOIN THE LEAGUE OF THE NATION n n n 1 fi 11 HELP YOURSELF Hot than 160 )wn m llrtuwlH Hmuktln wroie "Ki uur abo aatl It Mill hti yuu."

GUN URAL INSURANCE Rentals and Rcntais Instate Loans Who Benefits By High Prices? You feel that retail meat prices are too high. Your retailer says he has to pay higher prices to the packers. Swift & Company prove that out of every dollar the retailer pays to the packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers' profit, 13 cents is for operating expenses, and 85 cents goes to the stock raiser; and that the prices of live stock and meat move up and down together. The live-stock raiser points to rising costs of raising live stock. Labor reminds us that higher wages must go hand in hand with the now cost of living. No one, apparently, is responsible. No one, apparently, is benefited by higher priees and higher income. We are all living on a high prised scale; One trouble is, that the number of dollars has multiplied faster than the quan tity of goods, so that each dollar buys less than formerly.
