 The plan of the movement Is that each pupil will secure as many ten. cent pieces as possible before next Friday evening. the money so raised will be used in the purchasing of fertile eggs in the United States and sent to be distributed among the peasants and farmers of France for matching in order that their farms may be restocked with poultry. which is one of the chief means of a livelihood among that class. The move is a good one and Miss Anita Nordale, treasurer of the fund, will send the money to the proper place as soon as 1t has been turned over to her.

FRENCH ORPHAN
 IS READOPTED

The readoption movement among thos who have taken one or more of the fatherless children of France under their care has commenced in Fairbanks. The latest to report in and tender their donation covering a years care are the members of the Fifth and Sixth grades of the Fairbanks public schools.
 Reposing in the safe of the GUS. todian of the fund is a check for $36.50, which Is all that Is required to keep one of these orphans in food for a year. The action of the school children Is . commendable one and undoubtedly they find much comfort in providing for one who is unable to care for itself owing to the present conditions existing in France. This acknowledgment is the first to be made for the month of February and is a fair start for the fund.
