aged about 15, had his leg broken about
a week ago while coming to town. He

thoughtfully decided to Bee what he
could do to assist the little fellow who
bad been so unfortunate at a time when
he was earning wages for himself. Mr.
McAdam started a subscription piper
among the pickers at the yard and $35 in
cash and hop checks was soon subscrib
ed. This will be a great help to the boy
in paying the expenses of his accident.
Both Mr. McAdam and all wbo donated
