there Is some good In them, after all
they produce an oyster" In so

given me, and it is only through

Today | received from Mrs. Bing-
lam a eheque for S175 for the

amazed scarcely expresses it. for l
know that your city is not big one
and also that a storm on the 14th

for celebrating that day; but this
wonderfully generous cheque only
goes to prove that IL is not the size
of the place which counts. but the
HEARTS of the people and Fallon

pie.
wish especially to thank the
papers for their support, which is a
great help, also Mrs. Bingham and
Mr.. Charter, who have been so ac-
tive in this work TO relieve France
of some of her burden, and last, but
not least, to every contributor to
this cheque | send my sincerest graf
itude,
This money will be divided into
two parts-one-half going to LES
Maisons Claires," house of refuge
for the sick children of France, the
other half to LIE vestiane du Chic
Anond." Paris. where the mothers
and children of those being driven
out of scissors and Rheims flock
daily by hundreds for help. In due
time you will receive a letter from
both these societies who will express
to you better than | can, their great
gratitude to the people of Fallon.

inaction, or through the inertia of
the department to whom the settle

material value to the nation has
been entrusted.
He heartily responded to the de-
mand now voiced by many in this
valley fer Immediate action, and
armed with several copies of the
Standard containing the last article
on the subject, declared that un-
questionably IL was a war measure
and as such he would lay it before
the American Defense Council for
their early consideration.
He was enthusiastic In his praise
OF the sections involved in this long
drawn out case. representing such
tremendous productive possibilities
in time when the whole world is
clamoring for more wheat, and high
ly commended the people for at
