beaming mug a reality. Come on
across with the coin.
An example has been set by the
printers composing Tho Times Dis
patch Chapel. Richmond Topographic
cal Union, No. 80. The world knows
that printers are the highest wads--
highest is used advisedly-in the
world! They are SO tight that they

pockets full of money and have to

way these printers last night got to-
sether and. in less time than it takes
To say so. raised $40 to be added TO

yesterday got together 4. the home
OF Mrs. c. Il. Caperton. 1910 West
Avenue. gave Il silver tea, and what
do you think happened? Why. they
raised $50 for the Opportunities.
IL these little. girls and those
printers can do these things on the
spur OF the moment. what can you do
after thinking il over for ten min
utes? Don't think longer than that
for time is Nying. and The Times Dis
patch wants all this money right
now. You all remember that piece
about doing il unto the least of these
That means these Ten Opportunities
Last night but $50 was yet needed
when the contributions received dur
ing the day had been counted. In
Opportunity . only 81 was needed TO
conclude the case, and in several OF
the other cases only small amounts
were required to complete the fund
In only two cases are more than
800 needed. These are Opportunities
and S. which are two OF the most
pitiful OF the cases
Only because some of the cases
have been largely ovcEsubscribed and
the addition cannot be added to the
others IS there any need for further
appeal. But the public, in order to
aid these unfortunatcs in time for
Christmas, must subscribe lihornlIr
within the next Two or three days.

the first page what these Opportuni-
ties are. Here's what has happened
to them TO date:
