ORPHAN FUND
 STILL GROWING

The fund for the fatherless chil- dren of France is still open to con- tributions, and will be conducted by The Citizen in the future just as 1t was in the past, and all donations will be welcomed and will be turned over from time to time to the orphan fund treasurer by this office.
 There has not been enough em- phasis laid in the past on donations of enough to keep one child year. Thirty-six dollars and fifty cents is the amount needed to keep one French child alive whole year. To any one who donates this sum to the fund, there are special blanks given, and there are few of them at The Citizen. By filling out one of the blanks and donating the sum to keep the French child one year. the donor is entitled to receive the name of the child he is keeping and also a photograph of it If he so desires. In this way the benefactor may keep track of the one he is helping. and the latter gets chance to thank the one who has been kind to him. A donation has been received at The Citizen office from Mrs. Camille Bag gerly, of Ruby, sending in the sum of s32, which the boys and girls of Ruby have donated toward the fund.

 SOME WALKER

In a recent issue of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer appears an inter. view with Miss Cathrine Wagner, who went Outside last fall to resume her studies at the University of Washington.
 The article regarding Miss Wag ner Is as follows:
 Wearing the best millinery crea. tion to be purchased north of 53,' which she won on a wager, Miss Cathrine Wagner. newspaper wt man representing a mining journal, arrived in Seattle yesterday after [ five months stay in the Falrbank district and is guest at the Fry hotel.
 To win the hat, Miss Wayne made a 164-mile hike over a trail which took her thirteen miles insid the Arctic circle. She was the frs, woman to make the trip in the sum mer time, when the trail lies across swamps, and on arriving at her des tination at the mouth of the Tolo vana, miners made her present of the first nuggets of the fall cleanup in honor of her achievement. On her return to Fairbanks a few weeks later, prominent mining operator, who lost the bet, bought her a $150 bonnet, the latest and stunningest creation in the Northland. Miss Wagner is a former student at the University of Washington.

cite them as a reason why America should help us now. Under normal conditions we should have been paid for our munitions in Russian money and allowed with this Russian money to import Russian and foreign food stuffs. In fact. we were flooded with Russian paper rubles; but were not allowed to buy necessaries of life eith CT in Russia or abroad. We got so far as to order breadstuffs in Russia; we even paid for them in advance; and the Provisional government promised to allow their export to Us: but owing to transport dsorganiza- tion we got nothing. Thus we sGf fered directly from our help to Rus. sia. If we had not concentrated on munitions making we might have di- verted our industrial labor into aEri- cultural channels, and conditions would not have been quite so bad as they are.
 We supported Russia in other ways. As long as We could, we sent her milk and butter. We supported 8 vast Russian naval and military gar rison. which alone adds a big per centage to our population figure, and we support an innumerable army-, estimated at 2OO,000-of civilian Rus sians: and thus relieve the fooG strain in Russia.
 Justice demands that We should not be punished for our past sacrIti- ces. Policy demands that we should be ensured against starvation in flu. ture. Our war industries gre still mobilized; they are highly efficient; and if Russia continues the war We can give her greater help than sne can expect from her own inefficient and anarchical industries. But this will be possible only if We have the necessary food. The Allies cannot expect hungry artisans. whove wives and children are perishing, to keep to munitions work.
 Our population is not proGerman. It was, admit. anti-Russian, or rather anti.autocracy. It has always been devoted to America. England and France. from which countries in our darkest hour we received sym pathy and moral support. have my self always championed the Allies cause at home; and I do not desire to see my hungry fellow.countrymen throwing themselves in despair into Germany's hands. In order to gain Scandinavian support. Germany months ago ostentatiously sold bread stuffs to Sweden. Probably she would do the same thing to Finland. but that Is not the kind of help we want
 We want help from the Allies which in this case means help from America-and we are confident that we shall get It."
