While the results from last years gardens here in Ore
were not all that could be desired there should be no
let up next year. The government estimates the
grown in war gardens this year of the value of
35OOOOOOO almost per cent Of the liberty loan now
being foated. Next year with the experience of this
the crop should be far valuable that is if as large

APPEAL FOR FUNDS FOR HELPLESS RACES
Collections to Be Taken for
 SyrianS and Armenians

The following appeal by President Wilson has been made to American people to make contributions as they reel disposed for the aid of stricken Armenian and Syrian peoples:
 One year ago, in compliance with resolutions passed by the senate and oy the house of representatives. appointed days upon which the peo- pie of the United States might make such contributions as they felt dis posed for the aid of the stricken Armenian and Syrian peoples.
 American diplomatic and consular representatives and other American residents recently returned from Western Asia, assure me that many thousands of lives were saved from starvation by the gifts of tho Ameri- can people last winter. They also bring full assurance of the continued effective ditribution of relief and re- port that the suffering and death from exposure and starvation will in evitably be very much greater this winter than last unless the survivors can be helped by further contributions from America.
 Reports indicate that of orphans alone there are more than 100000, besides women and other dependent children. reaching a total of more than 100000 destitute survivors. The situation is so distressing as to make a special appeal to the sympathies of all.
 In view of the urgent need I call again upon the people of the United States to make such further contri- buttons as they feel disposed, in their sympathy and generosity for the aid of these suffering peoples. Contri- buttons may be made through the American Red Cross, Washington, D. c. or direct to the American com mittee for Armenian and Syrian re- lief, Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer, One Madison Avenue, New York city.
