FRUGAL RELIGIOUS MAN

Walter Poor is a frugal man, an hon
est man. a religious man
He is a missionary Baptist, but he has
never appealed to any church or charity
for aid other than what voluntarily was
dropped into his little tin cup.
But it matters not to what church Wal
ter Poor belongs or what his creed or
politics Walter Poor himself is not the
problem
It is three healthy, husky ambitious
little fellows to whom the world OWES
a chance.
Give them this chance and they'll take
care of the dim and distant future, and
they will not be peddling pencils
When you make up your list of Christ
mas benevolences and charities today
think of Walter Poor jack Ionnie and
Junior.
There is no organized charity behind
them No welfare bureau supporting
them
Doesn't make any difference whether
YOU are Jewish, Catholic. Protestant,
democrat. republican
Let's send real Kris Kringle around
to Walter Poors poor home and bring
everlasting sunshine.
Write today to The Age-Herafd.
And don't forget-Christmas will be

What has Santa Claus in store for

Fearing trio of red-blooded boys when
they creep out of bed in the cold gray
dawn of Christmas morning?
They are Jack. aged IL; Lonnie. aged
3. and Walter. Jr.. aged 6.
Their father is blind, one EARNED, home
less, wifeless, friendless.
The only happiness the yuletide will
bring into his heart will be in that
radiant hope so typical in the charac-
terstic optimism of any blind person.
His income is derived from pennies.
dropped into a tin cup by Indifferent
corner cranking a squeaky organ.
These pennies may buy few sticks
ot candy. trifle toy
Nothing more.
WHAT MAY BE DONE
But here are some suggestions as to
the disposition Of these boys Take your
choice:
l. Tie rock to their necks and heave
them into the Warrior river.
2. Use the Oser method; chioroform
EN- ssas
8. Forget EN- and they can grow up
into professional mendicants. ~
4. Let EN- alone and they'll make
clever pickpockets, porch-climbers, yegg-
men and common crooks.
5. Give EN- a chance.
g. Educate and train them into intel
ligent young manhood and they'll solve
their own destiny with credit to their
country.
ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE
They are in Birmingham today and
whatever they may eventually become
YOU are responsible.
For YOU are YOUR brothers keeper.
This sightlessI father and these clear
eyed boys--they are not responsible Tor
what an unkind fate has DONE
They are not responsible for the dyna-
mite blast that MANNED and blinded the
father.
They could not prevent disease and
death that took the wife and mother
This is the fourth of series of stories
to appear in The Age-Herald about Wal
ter Poor and his three sons7-inseparable
pals.
There is no organized campaign to
raise a public fund. No spirited drive
to insist upon contributions They have
no hand ia these stories. Indeed. they
were originated absolutely without their
knowledge
& The only thing Walter Poor has asked
of Birmingham was a permit from the
city hall to grind his organ on the street
corner, peddle pencils and song books.
But whatever Walter PoAr may think
about it, it is obvious to practical mind
that he cannot rear, maintain, feed.

the revenue he gathers from street cor
ner pittances.

the future of these boys
And unless henevolence, charity and
philanthropy are asleep at the switch in
Birmingham, their problem will be solved
before next Thursday morning rolls
around.
PHYSICIANS TO THE RESCUE
Birmingham physician has dropped
the hint that will solve the situation.
81 will be one of 10 men in Biruing-
ham to contribute $50 or more to build
him a stand, rent him niche and put
him in a stock of pencils, chewing gum,
newspapers and other articles by which
he can support his family of boys edu-
cate them antil they grow up and take
the burden capably and efficiently"
Another public-spirited citizen says:
I'm in on this project. NY money Is
ready
Another simply inclosed check for $40,
A fourth has said to the writer:
z Get this going. Well go $50 or more.
That's S160 or more.
1t will require an outlay of at least
$500 to do this job up right

his feet permanently, send his boys to
school and keep intact a loyal little fam

at would be cheap at 5000.
A committee Of three business men, in
Guiding IT. Scudder RyaA, secretary OF the
city commission, can take $500 and launch
a permanent little business for this man.
His accounts could be audited until the
project is going good.

STEM is BROKEN

Harry Culver, secretary of the Neb-

city, stated this morning that they
are experiencing some trouble in
their well at Walters in 14-S-H. They
have broken a drill stem at the bot
tom of an LOO foot hole and with
about 100 feet of cave on top of the
stem.
They are going down over the trou-

SOME APPLE SPECULATION

VIM. Sparks of Cashmere, last
spring bought an apple orchard for
$4,000 paying one thousand dollars
down to bind the bargain and was to
make another payment in the fall at
picking time. A short time ago he
sold the fifteen acre tract for 100000
in cash.
Two boys right near Leavenworth
rented an apple orchard last fall near
Peshastin for half the crop. In the
latter part of the summer they sold
the crop and with the money bought
and made small payment on the old
Thomas orchard a mile east of town
for sum which we have not ascer-
tanned, but considered very cheap.
The apple crop off the Thomas place
will pay the purchase price and leave
them several thousand dollars profit
besides.

TWENTY SEVEN CARS OF SHEEP
TO CHICAGO

w. f. Mudd, veteran sheep raiser,
this week sent twenty cars and Mrs.
Vessey seven cars of sheep to
the Chicago Market. Some twenty
cars have already been previously
shipt and over forty are to go out the
latter part of this month. The Sound
market for sheep is not inviting Just
now, wherefore all the sheep are go
ing east where the market promises
better returns, tho even that market
has been declining, as a result, prob
ably, of the fight against the high
cost of living.
Geo. Hendricks, another old time
flock owner who has had sheep here
every year until this year, has been
spending some time here this week
hob nobbing with other sheep owners
and talking about the future of the
sheep industry. He has his sheep in
the Okanogan and the Colville coun-
try this season.
