The number of needy this win

statistics, but the need Is as great as
ever, for the army figures that the

enough.
A gaunt, red brick mission house

within, will be the fold Into which

Th number of unemployed re

from such applications for work or

"More than anythlug th Salva

a prominent commander said, "It Is
