DEMAND FOR GUINEA SHOWS
STEADY INCREASE In CITIES

The great majority of guinea fowl
are raised in small fiocks of from 10
to 25 upon farms in the Middle West
and in the South, but few of the
large poultry raisers, particularly
those who are within easy reach of the
large eastern markets, make a prac-
tice of raising hundred or so gum
cas- each year. Many farmers keep a
pair or trio of guineas more as a
novelty than for profit, and from
these a small flock is raised.
The guinea fowl doubtless would
be more popular on farms were it
not for its harsh and, at times, seem
ingly never-ending cry, say poultry
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. However,
some people look on this cry as an
argument in the guineas favor, as it
gives warning of marauders in the
poultry yard. Similarly, their pugna-
cious disposition while sometimes
causing disturbances among the other
poultry also makes them show fight
against hawks and other common en-
emies, so that guineas sometimes are
kept as guards over the poultry yard
Often a few guineas are raised with
a flock of turkeys and allowed to
roast in the same tree. where they
can give warning If any theft is at
tempted during the night.
The value of the guinea fowl as

3,5OO,000 CHILDREN
FACING STARVATION
Vast Relief Effort Launched by
Eight Leading American Organ
lzations to Avert Tragedy.

The most spontaneous as well as the
largest consolidation OF effort In the
history OF American relief and charita-
BILE organizations has grown out OF the
disaster which threatens S,500OOO
European children this winter. To the
headquarters OF every agency that dis
penses American mercy overseas has
come one steady cry for months past !;
the children, most helpless and blame
less sufferers In the track Of war. will
perish by the thousands before next
harvest unless America saves them
When Or. Livingston Farrand. chair
man OF the Central Committee Of the
American Red Cross, returned from
recent trip abroad. his report throbbed
with the need Of the children. From
the feedlng-stations OF the American
Relief Administration throughout east
ern and central Europe came letters,
cables, pleas Of every sort. The Pro
testant churches sent investigators
into after-war conditions and every
report breathed the impending tragedy
Of starving and diseased children.
Protestant. Catholic and Jewish, the
child life OF Europe is threatened with
heartrending misery
The European Relief Council. with
Herbert Hoover as chairman and the
whole power OF American charitable
thought and effort behind It, has been
formed. It consists Of Edgar Rick

Administration; DR. Livingston Far

II Is the purpose OF the Council to
raise Ss3,00o,O00. in an appeal center

end that the situation regarding child
life may be met. In every town and

cept after medical tests showing them
to be seriously undsr-nourished. The

just as urgently needed for medical
service to the children.
