AN APPEAL THAT APPEALS

While Missourians have been called
upon since the world began, and even
since it ceased, to give of their abun-
dance that others less fortunate than
they might exist, and while there is
feeling that the limit of giving is
almost reached, there is one appeal
that will be needed as the Yuletide
approaches.
Reference is made to the appeal be-
ing made Nationally by the Near East
Relief. This is an organization char
tered by the Congress of the United
States, and its mission is to save the
lives of many thousands of Armenians
who will perish else help from Ameri-
ca is extended them.

raised by charitable Missourians. This
offering is an advance of the large sum
OF money that will be raised in a cam
paign early in February. But the need

to Chief of Police Dave Matlock yes
terday that his pockets had been
picked while he was standing on the
corner of Fifth and Main streets. The

said, he gives a striking portrayal
of a captain Of the Royal Northwest
