Onr O,ph an Children.

Onr Orphan Children.
The annual proclamation by
our President calling upon all
people togiye thanks to Almighty
God Tor His manifold mercies and
blessings during the past year
should draw the minds of our
people more than ever to the
needs OF the great work which is
being done for the dependent or.
phan children of our state.
This work is growing each year
and the no. OF applications tor
admission of destitute, homeless
children, who ha W been deprived
oi their natural protector. iscon'
stantly increasing. Most nobly
have our people responded to the
increased needs, caused by ad'
vance in the cost of living and
expansion OF the work. We look
with pride at the various institu
tions where these little ones are
being cared for and trained fol
great usefulness to God and the
world. There is every reason tc
believe that thelnvestment which
has been made has already paid
rich returns in an educated
Christian manhood or woman oI
former inmates, who, butfor there
institutions, would have remain
ed in ignorance and. want.
+ The needs of the work are con
stantly increasing as the. cost o
living advances, the number car
ed for grows larger and their ed
ucation and training takes
broader scope; therefore, In order
to do for the greatest no. thes<
institutions must have increased
and larger gifts. In the good
state Of Georgia a plan has beer
inaugurated to get all friends
Of the work to give one days
wages or salary to aid this cause
The result was an Offering O
$15O,O00. Will not each of ouI
readers follow this example and
give their income tor one day out
of three hundred and sixty.fve
and thus help the homeless chill
dren of our state? We desire to
publish q list OF those who will
make this contribution. Send
us the amount, state what or
phanage you desire it sent to and
we will forward the contribution
and credit same in the published
list. you prefer to send it d.
rect to the institution of your
choice. you may 10 so. What
we desire is 10 get each man OF
woman who feels it in their heart
to aid this cause to adopt a sys.
tematic plan of giving and thu'
realize the blessedness Of helping
this worthy cause. Will you do
il?

CONCERNING CARNEGIE.
Purchasers in the Original Townsite
Seem TO be Satisfied

"The Minnesota Wisconsin Land
company, composed Of reputable Du-

street car line has been surveyed from
Superior to the steel plant and called
it Carnegie" says the Duluth Herald.
1T is midway between the steel
plant, on the Minnesota side. and
the terminal yards Of the plant, on the
Wisconsin side. This company sold
all of the lots in It's original plat and
nearly all i'm an addition. when other
companies were formed and put on
additions. The Minnesota Wisconsin
company sold it's lots on their merits.

tors not only made use Of the name of
the twon, but it's slogan, Carnegie

original townsite all seem to be salts

Just what Carregie's future will be
is yet hard To tell. II is true that there
are possibilities for a town on the
wisconsin side of the St Louis river
The growth of the Minnesota steel
plant will undoubtedly benefit Carne-

The Herald gives the Minnesota

many lots i'm the townsite Of Carnegie
to Calumet people, credit for honestly
representing the situation. At The same
time IL scores certain other land COM
pnnies for deliberate misrepresentation.
