Six Million people in Europe are
starving and many are dying with
homes ravaged and families made des-
titute by the war.
Poland is the chief sufferer The

millions destitute, suffering starving
and dying.

sufficiently nourished and clothed.
Eye witnesses describe the pathetic
condition as horrible in the extreme.
The women and children with ENACT
ated cheeks and bony fingers are
reaching out their hands to America in
an appeal for help.

The county fair. held at Cortez last
week, was well attended. One of the
chief attractions was the bird-man
who made flight every afternoon.
The ease with which he rose in the air
and circled about the grounds gave all
who saw him the flying fever and we
expect some of our citizens will be
purchasing flying machines in the near
future. The other sports We're steer
and brocho riding, automobile racing,
horse racing, etc, The rope artists
were good and entertained the crowd
each day. While some of the displays
were good we do not think that the
farm produce and fruit displays were
as good as they could have been. How
ever, the fair was so much better than
has ever been in this county that the
management is to be congratulated
and we hope the returns were such
that the Fair Association will be en-
couraged to make greater effort next
year.

City Still Without
House Numbering

What has become of the city house
numbering plan?
Some time ago it was suggested at
a council meeting that Bisbee has
long since passed the village stage
and that it should not be necessary
to get an old time resident for a
guide in order to find any given
house or building. Although all the
councilmen agreed at the time that
this is thing that should be done,
no action has yet been taken in the
matter Possibly the question will
be brought up at the next council
meeting.

Plans to Receive
Reed Abandoned

Plans for the reception of Senator
Reed of Missouri, who was seized
uled to speak here against the league
of nations, were given up last night
when word was received that he had
abandoned his speaking tour. cred
was to have been received by a rep
Tesentative committee of citizens, and
was to have spoken at the Grand
theater
When the request was sent to Sen
ator Reed that he speak here it was
suggested that if his senatorial duties
should necessitate his return to
Washington before he could fulfill
the engagement that he appoint a
substitute to speak in his stead. No
definite word was received last night
as to whether any substitute had
been appointed If this is done the
program will be carried out as
planned for the reception of Senator
Reed.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TOFEED
A CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE 5?

To those who frequently comment
upon the high cost of living, and per-
chance complain about the difficulty
of keeping the dinner tables as full
as it might be, the figures concern
ing what is necessary to feed the hui
man being and animals of the Hagen
beck & Wallace shows are doubtless
interesting.
For instance, the following list
shows the average daily consumption
by the employees:
Four hundred pounds of beef, two
hundred pounds of mutton, one hun
dred pounds of pork, two hundred
dozen eggs, six hundred loaves of
bread. one key of syrup, three bar
rels of apples, five crates of oranges,
