ToNoPAH HAS ADOPTED
FRENCH WAR ORPHAN

Tonopah has subscribed $73 for the
care of one French orphan under the
auspices of the society known as the
"Fatherless Children of France This
society undertakes to pension the
widows of France much as the local
law pensions the widows of this
state, SO that these hundreds of
thousands of orphans made by the
war may not have to be raised in
orphan asylums. The society works
upon the idea that French standards
of civilization can best be kept from
deteriorating by keeping the French
children in their native environment,
thus preserving the traditions of the
fathers and thereby allowing greater
expanse for the individual talent. The
society appeals to the United States
for assistance in this splendid charity
on the grounds of the debt we owe
to France for her support during the
revolutionary and civil wars. Had it
not been for the moral support OF
France during the revolutionary crisis
it is very doubtful whether that
movement would have succeeded, and
how better can America repay that
debt than by upholding the children
of France today?
The society known as the Father
less Children of France" Is so well
organized that it can support child
at home on SO per month. They re-
quest people to guarantee the pay
ment of SO per month for period OF
two years, after which time it is
expected that the French government
itself will be able to assume the re-
sponsibility.
Mrs Hugh Brown is the local rep
resentative of the society and has
already secured six pledges of SO a
month.
During the summer Mrs. Burnham
raised $40 toward the support of the
French orphans, and since Mrs.
Browns return she has been adding
| to this fund in the shape of securing
the necessary $73 which will support
child for two years and entitle the
subscribers to the name and address
of one child whom they can there
after consider as their own especial
charge. Last. Friday Mrs. Brown
raised the last $13 and the money
was sent Saturday morning by GER
tilted check to Life" wherein it will
be acknowledged about Christmas
time.
Couldn't Tonopah raise similar
sum for another baby as a Christmas
present to one another? One dollar
Is so little. but one dollar in
France today provides food for a
child for ten days. 1t is only neces-
sary for 70 men or women to sub
scribe 81 apiece and one baby's
future is secured for two years.
Think of it! Mrs. Brown assures the
Bonanza that she will accept any
sum from 5 cents up; also gifts of
toys or wearing apparel. This latter

with the Button Cutters and the But
ton Cutter scorer. whose hsndiwors
was printed in The Gate City last

score was made out of whole cloth
and that proper credit was not given
to the West Keokuk players. especial
lily Pitcher Bawden; who famed, Il
seems, fifteen men.
The two teams are going to fight
1t out again on the coming Sunday
and the Athletics say they are going
to have their own scorer on the
grounds. Following is the communi-
Ication received:
Sporting Editor:
We notice the Button Cutters, after
their lucky win. have made up a score
and had 1t printed. Here are some adj
ditionsl facts We never batted the
way they had 1t scored. They never
get over seven hits and they had five
errors. In the score they had none.
And we noticed that they tried to dis
credit our pitcher. He never walked
a man nor had any wild pitches 10
his credit and did not strike out less
than fifteen men. We believe that
had we not had to play against luck
and poor umpire We would have
defeated the Button Cutters easily
Costly errors lost the game and our
pitcher was not hit all over the lot.
We also wish to challenge them for
a came to be played Sunday If they
wish. or any time they say, and We
will have a scorer. We will not crow
II we win or print score made up to
suit ourselves and we will also use the
same pitcher and hope they will use
theirs. We also wish to ask them
who the scorer was. and will accept
their challenge through The Gate
City If they so wish

The situations are not so very diff

slavery-slavery to power. Today
we have slavery just as hagrantiy
shown In the helplessness with which
we lie in the way OF any chance en-
envy that may happen to attack us.
Uncle Tom and his brother slaves
suffered the whip and taunt of the
slave driver. The black woman Of
that time was made to feel the indig-
mites and insults that any white man
wished TO inftct upon her.

grip of our unpreparedness. We think
we are humane when we listen to the
peace propaganda that is constantly
