of Asia Minor where the elevation is
six thousand feet higher than in Kan
sas. 1t is consequently a much colder
country and life is harder and more
severe.
The League of Nations guaranteed
food and clothing to these people. 1t
is not yet in operation, however, and
four million persons stand a chance of
starving to death or freezing unless
temporary assistance is maintained.
The committee has arranged to dis
tribute 700 copies of today's State
journal carrying the story of the
opening of the drive in Topeka among
the relief committees of 700 commun-
tiles. Altho The State Journal reaches
all of the cities. the committee is not
taking chances on the news Of the
beginning of the drive missing the To-
cal committees of the various towns
and communities.
According to Herbert C. Hoover, the
situation in the Near East is the most
desperate in the world today. 1t is a
population embracing about 100000
Armenians. Assyrians, Jews. Greeks
and Persians, in imminent danger of
starving to death, that the United
States has set out to save. 1t is the
only country in the world today that
could possibly accomplish the task

OF this number 700, 900 are destitute

mentioned that 6S. 900 refugees are be-

The near east relief committee is in
corporated under congress. The terri
tory in which the work is to be done
has no organized government, and can
not make a loan with the United States
altho the Armenian is known as the
most thrifty man in the world.
The Red Cross has turned over all
its interest in the work to the near east
committee. 1t has contributed s6.0GO,-

Near East Relief Drive To Be
States Greatest Effort.
Plans for Intensive Campaign
Announced Today by Billy.
SAVE FOUR MILLION, SLOGAN
Five Hundred Workers to
"COver" City of Topeka.
Expect Other Communities to
Follow Local Methods.

Enthusiastic, unanimous endorse
ment of the plans for the Near East
Relief campaign. guaranteeing its sue
cess, was voted this morning by a
large number of Topeka ministers al
a meeting Of the ministerial union
followed Immediately by a pledge to
give all possible assistance and sup
port to the drive, when the plan was
placed before them. by w A. Biby
campaign director
The move taken this morning by
Topeka ministers means that there
will be an active committee of around
five hundred members. the largest
that has ever worked Topeka except
ing no previous campaign, working
for the next five weeks in an effort
to put across the campaign.
With only five weeks to finish a
proposition of such wide magni-
ude, Biby placed it in the hands of
the only organization in Kansas that
could possibly accomplish it, namely
the organiza ton of the churches of
Kansas. Locally the project will not
be in the hands of the ministerial
union alone. Every minister and
every congregation in Topeka will as
sist in the all-embracing effort.
Largest Kansas Organization.
Learning of the intended campaign,
old seasoned former drive workers as
serted that it could not be done in five
weeks. Under ordinary methods, Billy
admitted, the success was doubtful.
However, the support of the churches
of Topeka will stablish a precedent
that will be followed locally in all the
many towns of Kansas. There will,
inside of this week, be constructed the
largest and most efficient organiza-
ton for drive work.
Following the close of Bibys talk,
the ministers chose the Rev. s. B.
Anderson. as temporary president, and
the Rev. r. A. Schell. as temporary
secretary. They will meet tomorrow to
form first plans of action.
Next Monday evening an immense
committee meeting will be held at the
Chamber of Commerce. Each local
minister will choose from his congre-
cation two men and two women as
members of the committee. There are
close to one hundred ministers in To-
pcka. There will be no attempt to
confine efforts to congregations. The
whole city of Topeka is to be the field.
Within the congregations of the city,
Biby declared, are the men and wom-
en- who put over all former drives.
Their interest can be gained in no
other way than thru the churches,
Billy stated. and added that the ulti-
mate success could not be questioned
thru the assistance gained in this
manner If the contemplated local or
yanization is also esta blished in every
city. town and community in Kansas,
the drive will go over bigger than
anything previously attempted, it is
believed.
VIII Save Millions.
The purpose of the drive is to raise
funds to prevent millions of people,
particularly children and babies. from
starving and freezing. They live in
Armenia and Syria. and other parts

HOLDS UP ROAD BILLS
shoch viii Await Supreme Court
Opinion Before introducing Them.

Good roads legislation by the truck
load, ready for introduction, will be
withheld until early next week
awaiting the supreme courts decision
on past legislation scheduled for an
nouncement Saturday. That was the
statement today by Schoch of Shaw
nee, who is generally sponsor for all
good road legislation in the senate.
The decision of the supreme court
will be sweeping. After it comes out
there will be little question as to how
many of the better highway bills are
constitutional and can stand. Then,
will come the deluge of bills ready for
introduction.
"Of course" said Schoch today. .''if
it is decided to confine ourselves to
the governors program these bills
must be held in allegiance until the
regular session.

AFTER THE. PROFITEER.

The New York Times states that
fifteen operators and brokers have
been indicted in the Federal Courts
under the Lever Act for profiteering
in coal. It is stated in the article that
coal which is produced at $500 per
ton has been sold by these operators
and brokers at profits OF $500 to
$500 per ton. At least two of those
indicted handle coal in this. section
of the country, and it is well that
the people know how they are be-
ing held up by these people.
And the government will do well
if the indictments are followed up
by convictions and Jail sentences.
The necessities of the people should
not be made the excuse for exacting
such unconscionable profits. Coal
enters into so many things that the
people must have that when such
profits are demanded the wrong
reaches into the homes Of even the
humblest citizen. The Department of
Justice has been criticised in the
past for getting after few bakers
and other little fellows who cannot
make much at most, and it is well
now that the strong arm of the law
is reaching out to gather in the lar
ger malefactors.
We warned the people sometime
ago that the prices of coat now preva-
lent are due in large part to the
speculations of the brokers, who are
taking the cars, which might 60 back
to the mines and haul other loads of
coal, and reconsigning these cars to
first one point and then another in
an attempt to secure larger and lar
ger profits from the peopIe, and es-
pecially from the industries which
must have coal in order to run and
keep the wage earners in employ
ment. .
The warning needs to be needed
by the people still. There should be
no encouragement to these people,
and the Department of Justice, CO.
operating with the Interstate Com
merce Commission, it appears to US
should be able to put a stop to the
practices of these criminals.

ranges of high mountains are reap

there is. Waynesville is not so strlk-

After looking over the ground we
have reached the conclusion that
Waynesville has little that we could
not have at Parsons Mouns Little
Mountain we call it, if some of the
capitalists would build big summer
hotel down there, and charge five or
six dollars per day, advertise in the
Atlanta Journal, and put on a lot
sale on the side of the mountain
about every other day.. The guests
would be about as comfortable, the
water would be as good, and the peo-
pie would save a shopping trip to the
cities when they went home because
they could buy all the Hne clothes
and other needed things for the fall
in the stores at Abbeviiie while they
were summering in this vicinity. We

about the strike while we were there.

Corp. Kerr for two weeks, he said
"and he aint give me nuthin yit," so
he swore a mighty oath that he
would carry him no more "vittles"

do so, hence the strike. It was set
tied some how and things were run
ming again the next morning but the
fat man had gone back to his furni-

his losses while away from home.
