Calf Contest

One of the most interesting attrac-
tions at the Great Darke County Fair
this year viii! be the Calf Contest. The
Fair Board purchased these calves last
November and put them out to the
boys on Nov. 9Th, 1919. These boys
have been feeding them ever since and
there is a great anxiety among them
as to the weight of the other calves.
These calves are pure bred Herefords
purchased from the ]. C. Carson ranch
at Irwin, Nebraska, and are sure a
fine herd of calves.
These calves will be sold at Public
Auction Friday, Aug. q, at 10 o'clock

WORK OF FEEDING
GERMAN CHILDREN
GOES RIGHT AHEAD

Food used by the American Friends
Service committee for the Ger
man child-feeding work during June
amounted to 2,S65 tons, according to
statement just received from the
central office, 20 South Twelfth street,
Philadelphia. -..
During that month 13,6s0,000 meals
were served. On June 80, when the
statistical report was made up. $4,000
mothers and children were being FED
daily in SO cities. This included all
the large cities and many small com
munities where the need was found to
be especially acute.
Hospitals, day nurseries, kindergar-
tens, schools and also converted army
barracks are used for distribution cen
tiers. 1t is interesting to note that
stoves and cooking equipment former
ly used for military purposes are now
being largely adapted for the peace
time work of saving humanity from
starvation and disease.
The work of supplying this supple
mentary meal to the innocent victims
Of the war is being directed by staff
OF 25 volunteer business men and Wo'
men from America.
$4,000 Germans Helping.
dIL lull IlliC HCl hdh foiuhtSSA
workers to a number approximating
! $4,000 are actually doing the work OF
examining and selecting the children,
and of preparing. cooking and serving
the meals.
All America Is helping to finance the
German child-feeding work. The cost
of the food and transportation to Ham
burg is supported by general contri-
button. Charles F. Jenkins, treasurer
of the Service committee, reported
that during the first 10 days Of August
checks had been received from indi'
viduals in % states. One woman In
Michigan sent SIPS, sum realized
from the sale of old newspapers. A
captain in the United States navy for
warded $50, "for relief Of German
children"
The German government Is caring
for the shipping, handling and issu.
ence Of the food from Hamburg to the
cities Of distribution, and have prom
ised to supply the flour and sugar
needed for the next year to the pres.
ent American value of $2,400,000. Local
German authorities or associations
finance the preparation and distribu.
ton Of the food. The recipients, when
able, pay rs pfennigs per meal.
During the summer months when
vegetables and fruits are more abund
ant the number of children fed daily
will be reduced 10 about half Then
as autumn and winter return there
will be a gradual increase according to
the need of the district. 1t is expect
ed that the need for extra food will be
just as serious next winter as during
the past and plans are already made
to again feed 100000 by January.
Cost To Be 100000.
1t is estimated that the cost of food
and transportation from Sept 1. 1920,
to June l, 1921. will be 100000.
Living conditions in Germany are
reported to be still very bad, although
the country as whole is earnestly
striving to start industrial work
Salaried people are earning 800 to
1000 marks a month-not sufficient
to supply family with proper food
Clothes of all kinds are prohibitive
in price.
