EASILY UNFAIR.
GOING
 AID STARVING

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-Herbert Hoover has announced his intention of leaving shortly for Europe to de- velop preparations for feeding the millions of people in the districts freed by the successes of the allied arms
 The people of France and Belgium living in the country redeemed are in a destitute condition and have no food supplies with which to with. stand the rigors of winter.
 It is probable that Hoover will aid in the task of preventing starvation in Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey. the people of which are reported to be in an extremely critical condition and are facing starvation.

RUBY CHILDREN PROVIDING FOR
 THEIR ORPHANS

The Orphan Fund received the big. gest boost yesterday that has been received for some time. The Sunday school children of Ruby came forward with a years donation for two or phans. They maintained these or phans all last year and have become so interested in the work that they continued on for another year. The children of that district are earnest workers for this cause and use every effort to raise dollar for their fund.
 Locally the donations have been coming rather slow. nothing being recorded for some days. It is early in the month and a good time to get started for a big amount for giving Christmas cheer to the little ones in France. Although armistice terms are being considered between the warning nations the orphans must be provided for some time to come.
 The people of France will need all their resources to rebuild their coun- try from the devastation 1t has re- ceived and 1t Is only through their American friends that the little ones can be provided for. It will be up to all of those who have been in sym. pathy with this movement to keep coming forward with their donations and make the fatherless one happy until they can come into treir own thru the course of natural events.
 The donors and the standing of the fund at the present time are as follows:
 Friday Club. b.................. .$376 August Hanot, Jr.. 400 St. George & Cathcart. ...... 400 Mrs. J. H. Caskey. y........... 300 A. M. B. .................. 300 Ruby Sunday School .......... .73.00 Friday Club ................. 800
