HELP DESTITUTE CHILDREN
An effort is being made this
Christmas to get the money or
dinarily spent in an exchange of
gifts between friends diverted
to the work of caring for the
children left destitute by the
war. This is a most worthy pur
pose and should receive hearty
support. Each of us has a few
intimate friends with whom we
customarily exchange Christmas
gifts, most of them needless and
given because we fear to discon
tinue ihem lest we offend these
friends If each would write to
at least one friend, stating that
he was sending the money cost
of his or her gift to the children
of America's Army of Relief to
keep the breath of life in some
little body, and ask this friend
to do the same, it would turn
millions uf dollars spent for
wasteful gifts into life-giving
funds- into gifts of life itself If
we do not, our Christmas gifts
will be Gifts of Death to many
starving children.
WE WONDER WHY.
What is ths reason Nyssa house
wives are compelled to pay 16c a loaf
for bread, or two loaves for 85c. Ac
cording tn statement issued recently
by Adjutaat General Moody at Bciae
he purchased bread of Boise bakrr* at
6$c for an 18 ounce loaf. At thi« lime
wheat was higher than it is now. Aa
much of the bread sold in Nysaa comes
from thee* same Boise bakers it is
difficult for the Nyesa consumer to un
derstand why he should pay at least
double what the bread coat the army.
It seems to be a case of making flsh of

If the »lien enemy restrictions
seem harsh, he knows how to
make them rest lightly. All he
has feo do is to respect the laws
and attend strictly to his own
business.
