The Bees
Free Shoe Fund
To Buy Shoes
For Shoeless Children

Again today a majority of the
contributions to The Bee shoe
fund come from outside Of Omaha
-three~fourths of them, in fact.
There is another gift from
Wray, Colo, and two from points
in the state.
However, the single Omaha con-
tribution is a good one. But
Omaha should supply as many
patrons for the charity as outside
territory.
Requests from parents for shoes
for the kiddies continue to come
to The Bee through the school
teachers and Probation Offer
Carver. As a matter of fact these
requests show an increase as the
fund nears tie thousand dollar
mark and it is certain that it. will
take at least that much to achieve
the result for which this worthy
charity was instituted.
Gifts received now will supply
needy Omaha kiddies with Christ
