Some People Think

this country is now too rich, and too disgust
ingly proud and full of make believe; that it
audaciously puffs up everything and spreads
it's feathers like big peacock and screams
loudly, calling to be looked at.
A fine young business man said: "Just
think of It'll When New York and Philadelphia
began and when our country all over was first
settled there wasn't in it what could be called
rich man."
Everybody was poor and all worked days
work, living a simple life. Advertisements
were short, simple, to the point without steel
traps for the unwary.
In those days people lived plumb up to the
Declaration of Defiance to the world and gen.
uine Independence because they did right.
Do you happen to remember that poem of
dear, old Jim Whiscomb Riley Gas his near
friends called him. entitled
Griggsby's Station
"Pep's got his tent right rich creation:
But where's the peace and comfort that we all had
Les 20 a-vistn' back to Grggsbys station
Back where we ust to be SO happy and pore!
And lfary pink hollyhaw aw1 a-blooming door,

RUSS FACE STARVATION.
Refugees in Poland Hit by Failure
Of Relief Funds,

Thousands Of Russian refugees in
Poland are in danger Of starvation
this winter as a result OF the dis
continuance of the relief work of the
Russian Red Cross committee in Paris.
due to its funds being exhausted. this
information being contained in a tele-
gram received at the State Depart
gnent from the American legation at
Warsaw, Poland.
The legation advises that the Polish
government has displayed admirable
helpfulness in furnishing shelter and
quarters for schools, kitchens, etc.
but that 1t Is unable to afford none
tary or food relief. The Europea n
Child Fund. the American Red Cross
and other relief organizations have
been assisting in the care of these
refugees, but there is a great need
for funds to meet individual cases
which are of a very distressing char
acter.
According TO the telegram from the
legation. the present rate of exchange
in Poland Is such that a few thou
sand dollars month would do an
immense amount of good in relieving
the condition of these refugees. many
of whom, 1t is stated, will die this
winter unless assistance is given
them.
