ASKING RELIEF FOR
NEAR EAST ORPHANS
TERRIBLE SUFFERING AS RESULT
OF TURK MASSACRES DE-
MANDS OUR HELP

| Adoption OF unSheltered and Starv
| ing orphans of the near east, driven
with millions of others from the Otto
man Empire by oppression and mas
sacres at the hands of the Mohamme-
dams, is again beginning among Am
erican families and individuals, the
severity of the winter acting as re-
minder of the suffering and needs of
those homeless little ones.
Through the Near East Relief, now
incorporated by act of congress, to
care for two and a half million ref
ugees in the Caucasus, the individual
care of thousands of the exiled chill
dren is being provided for in this way.
AS explained by E. A. Potter, 539
Peyton building, Spokane, who is di-
recting the Near East Relief campaign
for funds throughout this district,
many are adopting the near east
orphans on temporary basis, pro-
vfding for their needs for year or
so in some instances with present
contributions.
Five dollars" Mr.. Potter eX-
plains, will feed one of those starv-
ing orphans for one whole month; $40
will feed and clothe one for a month,
and SIS will feed, clothe, educate and
provide medical care for one of them
for month. The yearly cost of such
relief is in proportion"
In addition to the resumption of the
adoption plans, the Near East Relief
is encouraging individuals and collec-
tive contributions for the near east
sufferers in accordance with the spir-
it of the ''white gifts Christmas prin-
ciple.
Under this plan, instead of giving
real white gifts as the legendary peo-
pie of Cathay did for their king, the
contributors will give in cash and
pledges, on or before Christmas, the
equivalent of such gifts as a bushel
or two of wheat, few dozen eggs,
lamb or sheep, few gallons of milk,
or anything they can afford.
Many schools and Sunday schools
have adopted this Christmas plan in
their programs for helping the desti-
tute and dying people of the near east.

A CHRISTMAS STORY
CARRYING A MORAL

John and Mary were married. They
were deeply in love with each other.
They were also very poor. Money
with them was scarce and hard to OBJ
tain. But Christmas was coming on
and each felt the Christmas spirit
of giving gifts. Each felt that the
gift must be made in the Christmas
spirit, spirit of sacrifice. Mary de-
vised scheme to raise money to buy
gift for John She had beautiful
hair and she decided to cut that off
and sell it. She did so and bought
John beautiful watch fob.
John felt that he must get Mary
a present but he had no money. So
he sold his watch and bought Mary
a nice set of side combs for her
beautiful hair. The remainder of the
story is left to the reader's imagina-
tion.

FUEL OIL SAVED MANY
CALIFORNIA INDUSTRIES

SAN FRANCISCO Industries in
California, Arizona, Nevada and New
Mexico have been in the most favor
able situation of any region in the
United States since the coal strike
was begun, according to Albert F.
Schwabacher, United States fuel adj
ministrator for those states. AS vir-
tually no coal is mined in this region,
oil fields and hydro-electric power
have been developed to the point
where little coal is used except for
domestic purposes and the bunkering
of the few steamships that do not
burn oil.
The supply of coal on hand was
said to be so adequate that sthere was
no cause for householders to worry,
but in fairness to all an order was
issued recently limiting each con-
sumer to a thirty days supply.
Another favorable circumstance is
that coal for these states comes large
ly from British. Columbia and Aus
tralia, where mining is uninterrupted,
and from Utah.

THE WOMAN THE GERMANS SHOT

that clever stage stan, in the role of the heroine, probably has done more
to brn ghome the pathos and tragedy of this episode in the great wars
history than anything which has yet been written or sung about it, In
a simple way, with no attempt at an appeal to the sensational, the story
of the girl who SO bravey gave her life for her country is told, bit by
bit, from her girlhood right up to the moment when the pistol shot which
killed her rang out, and raised a million men to avenge her terrible
death. 1t will make you weep, but it will also make you grit your teeth
end feel glad that you gave your boy or helped to do your bit to have
wiped Prussianism from the face o.. the earth. .fs.,

A Nincompoop.
"Nincompoop" Is a most entirely sat
isfying and refined way of calling a
person a fool or blockhead or a sim
pleton. 1t is a corruption of the Latin
phrase mon compos mentis"-not
sound Of mind. Besides being satisfy
ing and refined it has a classical origin
in addition.
