ceiving I75.so0 rations daily from the
bumper cargoes Of the Democracy and
the Westward Ho, the relief ships sent
overseas by the American Jewish re-
lief agencies for the destitute war
sufferers.
How the food was distributed
throughout the various districts was
explained in report from DR.. Boris
Bogen to the joint distribution COM
mittee. which has just been made

Of all American Jewish relief work
in Poland.
/. Increase to Be Made.
The actual cost of the ration which
each Jewish child receives amounts
to about one mark q day, so that the
total amount expended for Feeding
Jewish children is little more than
ITS, 900 marks a day, or approximately
5,25O.OO0 marks a month. The above.
according to DR.. Bogen. represents
only the relief distributed up to June.
Plans for the rest Of the year call for
increased expenditures for larger
number of children. and 1t is esti-
mated th2t SSU,VUU mAEhS Odily 6EO
now being spent to save the lives and
health of as many Jewish kiddies.
1--WE are almost finished with the
distribution of the cargo of the
Democracy, consisting of medical
supplies, soap and general supplies"
Bogen's report states. when the
final report comes in we shall find
that the distribution was quite salts
factory. At present we are just be-
ginning the distribution of the second
Westward Ho cargo. A considerable
portion has been given to the chill
dren's relief and the results are very
satisfactory"
Amounts Distributed.
Following is a list of the points and
the amounts of rations distributed:
Warsaw city. $4,000 rations per day;
Warsaw district, 1.750; Lodz, city. 49,
800; Lodz district, 5000; Czenstochowa
and Dabrowa districts, $500; Radon
and Kielce districts, 1880; Kracjko
and district, 10000; Lwow city, 10.500;
Lwow, Kowel and Lubin districts,
$4,000; Brest and Bialystok district,
41,500, and Grodno, Ida and Wilma
districts, $1,000.
To continue the regular distribution
of supplies to these starving young
sters will require additional funds,
and 1t is to swell the great humanity
fund that the American Jewish Re-
lief Committee and kindred organiza-
tions are planning a series of drives
throughout the country this fall.

HOW ABoUT TIP

No outside or foreign paper can
possibly have claims upon you until
your duty Is discharged to the local
journal. OF him who says he can
get city paper much larger than his
own local journal for the same
amount OF money we would inquire:
Do the city papers say anything
about your country, it's climate,
water, springs, healthfulness, soil,
product, stockraising, mills, miner
ais, schools, churches, roads, bridges
or other improvements? Nothing.
Do they mention your public meet
ing, your town and country news,
and the other thousand and one mat
tiers of interest which your home pa
per publishes without pay?? Not
much. Did they ever say word
gratis, calculated to draw to your
town or county and aid in bringing
immigrants and developing the
wealth of your community? Not a
line. And yet there are men who
take such contracted views of the
matter that unless they get as
many square inches of reading mat
ter in their own county paper as
they do in city paper, they think
they are not getting the worth OF
their money. !.

EDITORS BAD ACTORS

Country editors are no longer the
meek and timid being pictured and
described by their big city contem-
poraries only few years ago. AT
least ]. F. Schureman, editor of the
Lacon (Ill.) Home Journal, believes
that the little controversy down in
Missouri the other day between an
editor and Judge which resulted in
flowers and slow music for the latter
will serve to create greater fear and
respect for rural wielders of the pen.
Commenting editorially on the case
he writes:
Thine was when it was considered
perfectly proper-and also perfectly
safe-to lambast and abuse an ed
itor with impuity or most any other
old thing whenever one felt like 1t,
and the natural result was that the
editors of the country became the
most pitiable bunch of brow-beaten
timid, half-scared-to-death creatures
that ever trod the earth. Only now
and then--and hardly that often
could an editor be found who had
nerve enough to say his soul was his
own, and say it out loud. and he
generally died before he had a
chance to say it the second time.

THE TRUTH

Occasionally a newspaper for ex-
ample tells the truth about some one,
and then fits of temper rage and
spiteful tongues wag beyond limit.
There are some folks who dislike to
have the truth told or known. They
prefer to work and keep in the
dark. This is especially true when
it refers to their own individual
cases.
But why shun the truth? "The
truth shall make you free lis a
time honored statement only too many
need to heed. Yet there are some
who persist in deceiving themselves
to the extent of escaping the truth.
Why should anyone wish anything
but the truth told or known about
him? There needs be in these
days of reconstruction little more
attention to character building, in
which the foundation stone of the
plain. unadulterated truth is not ov-
erloked.

JUST FOR FUN
When Did 1 Die?

In the case of George s. Carter
against Sarah Jane Eberspacher at
White Plains, N. Y, an attorneys
papers stated that Nathaniel and
John w. Lawrence appeared in this
action by Joseph w. Middlebrook,
who is now deceased"
I'm a letter to the attorney, Mr..
Middlebrook, who lives at Dobbs
Ferry says:
1T not infrequently has happened
that l have learned from others
things done by myself of which was
not aware, and have therefore been
led to doubt the accuracy of human
statement. The above statement is
so far at variance with my knowl-
edge and understanding that / am
prompted to bring 1t to your atten-
ton and to advise you that / most
seriously question its accuracy. In
fact I would prefer that it be not
embalmed in the solmen record of

pirate steps 70 correct what seems to
me a manifest error or advise me of
the time and place of my demise?"

THE UNKNOWN ROMANCE

Recently we saw list of men who
were being honored for their mill
tary service to their country. We
wondered how much of the romantic
the picturesque. the pathetic, the
courageous, the heroic might have
been contained in the short lines de-
voted to a record of each of the fall
en-.
One lieutenant was gassed in
March. wounded at Cantigney. and
fell on July 10, leading his men in
the first great allied counter-drive,
and was buried by them on the field
of battle. No novelist can ever
picture the buried romance that
may have hung over and around this
life; and he is only one of thous-
ands.

that practically all mailable parcels
that are carefully wrapped and Sc

entirely from faulty wrapping. All

The three cemeteries of Audubon
have all been fixed up in elegant
shape this spring and look better
than they ever have for Decoration
day. The cemetery lots have all
been nicely trimmed and flowers
planted thereon, making most
beautiful sight for visitors to the
home of the dead. No more fit
ting tribute can be rendered our de-
parted loved ones than decorating
their graves in the BETTING manner
that is being done this year as in
years past. Many visitors have been
at the cemeteries during the fine

vorably of the attention given the
silent cities of the dead.

The use of the peonies for decora-

been large in the past, but it appears
that flowers, especially these much

that it has been impossible to devel-
op the flowers to the blooming point.
The plants are big and healthy but
the blossoms have been retarded in
