ceive Funds For
Great Need

Since the publication this week of
an article and editorials, cartoons,
verses and other features calling at
tention to the necessity for funds for
feeding the 100000 starving child
rem of Europe, a number of inquiries
have been made as to where funds
may be sent. At the request Of sew
eral local men interested in the splen-
did and most necessary charity, The
Times-Recorder will receive contribu-
tions sent it and will transfer such
fupds to George d. Pratt, general
treasurer of the fund, of which Her.
bert Hoover is chairman.
Contributions thus far received by
The Times-Recorder are as follows:

Sc Feed a Child Day.
1t is said that SC a day will pre-
vent little child from starving to
death. Let's take this call close
home. Let's think of our own little
ones and what it would mean to US if
THEY-our own little kiddies-were
hungry. What would we do How
would we feel if some one reached
down into his store of plenty and saw
ed that little one for US. And, on
the other hand, what would our feel
ings be if this great crying necessity
were refused our babies?

Machinery already established by
the Red Cross and the American Re-
lief Administration and its European
Children's Fund, provides ready
channel through which the dollars Of
the good-hearted people of Americus
may be quickly converted into food
in the hunger spots of Europe.
The Relief Administration already
has established at Hamburg, Prague,
Warsaw, Vienna and Budapest central
food warehouses in which some &c.
100000 worth Of -four, beans, bacon,
cottonseed oil and canned milk are
stored.
Two Forms of Relief.
Contributions for relief may take
two forms: First, contributions speci-
fically for food relief of Europe s
hungry children. Second, contribu-
tions for general relief, adult as we'll
as juvenile, in the districts where re-
lief authorities in charge know the
need to be the most imperative.
Contributions for children's relief
can move direct to the European
Children's Fund and be made immed-
lately available for extending the
child-feeding work of that organiza.
tion, which is kept constantly supplied
with food to the limit of its resources
by the Relief Administration.
Money designated for general re-
lief will be turned over to the Red
Cross for use in the purchase OF
drafts against the Hoover warehouses
the food to be drawn and distributed
by Red Cross representative on the
ground.
By this method the maximum of re
lief can be given for the minimum o1
money and in the minimum of time
The Relief Administration, buying in
large quantities and shipping under
special rates allowed by the shipping
DOdfu, can lay uOWH III Europe more
food per dollar than can be placed
there in any other way.
Not Cent of Cost.
The Children's Fund and the Rec
Cross, working through local volun,
tary organizations, can distribute the
food without one cent of distribution
cost.
So, people of Americas, let's give
them something to do. Let's make
this machinery, which is already sci
up and paid for, deliver the maximum
of relief. The need is there. The
wherewithal to meet it is here. Hu.
man lives at 5 cents per day each is
the cheapest buy in the world today
