SCHOOL CHILDREN OF
FLORIDA GIVE SOCIETY $1,000
Respond Nobly to Appeal of Home
During Baby Week. Many
Applications

Jacksonville, March 14.-The
school children of Florida have re-
sponded nobly to the appeal of the
Children's Home Society of Florida
during Baby Week. In the opinion of
Marcus Fagg, superintendent, the
contributions will reach the $1,000
mark within the next several days.
At present $945 have been received
and the lttrs from diffrent schools
are still coming in.
The officers of the society are en-
Unused with the results because this
is the first appeal ever made to the
children of Florida, and as Mr..
Faggs said, You've got to count the
pennies, nickels and dimes in this
work. . In this case, the pennies and
nickels have counted wonderfully
and will swell the fund that has been
accumulated to help in placing
homeless babies in good Florida
homes.
Over 70 applications for babies
were received during the week, in
addition to clothing enough for
months to come and supplies of 9TH
er kinds. All of the young babies in
the receiving home have been placed
out and all of the babies for the next
six months will come to the society
and leave Immediately for new
homes.
The large number of applications
decrease the expense of investigating
the homes, because many can be
handled at one time. The fund
raised will be expended mostly in
investigating the home life of the
applicants, because no child goes out
of the receiving home unless it is to
be taken by a family of good char
acter. able to support and educate it,
and last, but not least, love it as
their own.

The railroads of the Northwest are
prepared to content with flood during
the present month. Their extent Will
depend considerably, of course, upon
whether the snow disappears gradual

quantity of it in the mountains and

Some of the floods that procured in

Aboard Roosevelt's Train, Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, Oct. 26.-This was Col
onel Roosevelt's first stop today as he
sped to Chicago for the two big speeches
that will end his western speaking
dates. He had only time for platform
appearance here. He planned to say
"howdy do" shake hands and perhaps
make very brief talks at all division

2 O'Clock this afternoon.
These short stops include Clinton, Ia.
Sterling, Dixon and DeKalb, ILL., Upon
reaching Chicago the colonel will go to
the Congress hotel, where he will con-
fer with Alvin T. Hert, Chicago middle
western manager for the republicans,
and then rest for an hour before going
to the Auditorium to address the big
women's meeting at 4 O'Clock. He will
spend the night in Chicago.
At the afternoon meeting Roosevelt
intends to repeat in great part the
speech he delivered to the women in

equivocally for a federal amendment
enfranchising women, and for whole
