WANTS TO 60
 BACK TO FRANCE

Attorney Jesse A Stewart, who left this city several years ago to pTac- tice law in the west, was in town to- day for a brief visit piror to taking a trip to Europe upon Government work. Attorney Stewart was located in Montana before the war and when this country entered the world con fict he enlisted.

He remained abroad for a long time after the arm istice was declared and was only re- gently muste cred out in Seattle, Wash.

that the city might pass such an or dinance but if it did so there is pos
 sIbiilty that an injunction may be sought by some of those opposed to the plan. Action in court would then determine whether the ordinance was
 valid or not and if declared invalid
 Legislative power would then have to
 be invoked
 Mutual agreement, or rather vol
 nutary agreement, to abide by such ordinance passed" said another at-
 torney, would give Bridgeport the benefit of Daylight Saving and if the larger factories of the city take up the plan the chances are that the
 whole city will cooperate whether
 the ordinance is passed or not.'' There is to be a public hearing in the Council chamber next Thursday night before the Ordinance cornmittea on Daylight Saving at which time ar-
 guments for and against will be pre- scented.

NEAR EAST RELIEF.


A message from the State Director
Of the Near East Relief of June 28th
says:
With but two days left to mark
the close of the official year for the
New East Relief, gratifying results
have been accomplished through the
generosity of the people of Min
nesota. At this time it is impossible
to state the exact amount raised dur
ing the year as the final returns from
several counties in the state have not
been reported to this office. Never
the-less our records show that Min
nesota has acquitted herself nobly by
raising $420,O7O.21 in cash and
pledges for the suffering Armenians,
for the year 1919 1920.
A National Convention of all the
State Directors for the Near East
Relief is now in session at the New
York Headquarters. Before leaving
for New York today, DR.. Westenberg,
State Director for Minnesota and
North Dakota expressed his opinion
Of the new plan to be adopted for
the coming years work. "People
are tired of drives and the dollar
sign, but they are still ready to
respond to the cry of human needs
through different channels, said DIR.
Westenberg. Every county in Min
nesota will be given definite quota
of orphans to care for. Then if a
county fails it will mean they are
directly responsible for a certain
number of deaths among these little
children. In other words Min
nesota's quota will be read in terms
of human life instead of dollars and
cents. An extensive campaign for
old clothes is now being carried on
in all the churches, Sunday schools,
young peoples societies, womens
clubs, fraternal and social organ
izations in the state, in an effort to
alleviate the suffering in Armenia
this winter. This appeal for cloth
ing is meeting ready response from
all classes of people. Many that
were unable to contribute money
heretofore are now doing their bit
in giving their old clothes.
Get in touch with your local chair
man, Mr.. H. E. White today. Give
him your donation of old clothes to
help fill up the car load that this
state is going to send to Marsovan-
the district that we are directly
responsible for. The Congress of
the United States is behind this
organization. Free transportation
Of all food and clothing from New
York to Armenia, is furnished by
our government.
Messages from the field to the |
Minneapolis office have been many. |
They tell of the profound appre-
citation of the sufferers. They
speak of newly-kindled hope. They
record hundreds of lives saved, and |
orphaned little ones housed and
homed. These things will never be |
forgotten by the ''little nation"
whose very existence is at stake.
What Americans are doing in this
work is a monument of philanthropy,
Christian charity, and service to-
ward civilization and humanity. |
Don't forget your bundle of clothing
that will save some little shivering
Armenian orphan this coming
winter.

After dreadful experience In which
small boy was locked In the bath
room accidentally, the family had an

the door equipped with night lock
like that on the front door. Then they
hung the extra key on the wall outside

would be sure to see It. The emer-
