to raise $4,000 in Richmond this
week. Other Sunday schools,
churches and womens organizations
are planning TO follow the same course
and before the end of the week. ii is
asserted. a number of additional chill
dren will be safe for another year.
Prominent women have come from
Ashland to assist in the local work
and will obtain information for the
purpose of covering thoroughly that
town, where several hundred dollars

Pile who gave literally last year have
already renewed their Inscriptions,
and a number of others who never
contributed to the society before are
feeling that the salvaging of these
neglected little ones Is not only the
best philanthropy. but one of the most
real war emergencies.
Hundreds of dollars have been
promised and doubtless the workers
will raise the required amount. which
is needed so sorely to carry on the fine
work of the organization IN the face
of the advanced cost of necessities

dollars each TO the society. as il has
been estimated that this is the amount
required to rescue child At il out

amount for an average. many OF the
little waits cost practically nothing.

where these derelicts can have healthy
and useful out-of-door employment
and learn to do the best with their
unfortunate lives. Those who are
subjects for institutions are commit
ted to asylums most suitable to their
individual leeds,
In order to carry on this work
efficiently, the society employs two
women who give their full time to

homes and obtaining first hand infor-
