from that far distant country show
that the people are in dire distress.
Terrible suffering is resulting from
complete crop failures in the interior,

cent years is more deserving Of i'm
mediate response on the part of our
prosperous and generous-minded peo-
pie.
On former occasions when pesti-
lence and misfortune have visited
other countries and other commune
ties. the people of Iowa have re-
sponded literally to the call for help

will again contribute generously to
this urgent call of the American Red

use OF army transports and with
transportation companies for the de-
livery of such supplies. The Seattle
Commercial club has been named as
the distributing agent and all contri-
buttons made by our Iowa people will
be Immediately forwarded to them.
wish to repeat here the proclama-
ton Of President Taft and to recon-
mend generosity and liberality on
the part of our people in the carry
ing out of the same. The presidents
proclamation is as follows:
''As president of the American Req
Cross, ! appeal to the people Of this
country to aid the unfortunate multi

cause of famine in China, either by
money contributions. which should
be sent to the local Red Cross treas
urers, or to the Red Cross. Washing
ton, ID. c., or by assisting In raising
a cargo of -four and other suitable
supplies to be sent to these people.
Congress has granted the use of
an army transport to the Red Cross
for this purpose. The Seattle Com
mercial club of Seattle. Wash, Is CO.
operatiog with the Red Cross and
will act as receiving and forwarding
agent for all supplies. trust that
our people will respond generously.
and that the transportation lines will
aid in the delivery at Seattle"
