LUTHERAN CHURCHES 70 .
HELP STARVING EUROPE

s. Starving and dying of ravaging
disease cable grams just received
from Europe make stirring appeals
for Lutherans in America to hasten
relief to more than IS 200, 900 in Is
countries there. zs r..' = -
.'The starving children Of Euro
pean countries !, says a recent mes
| sage "have touched the heart strings
|of humanity most poignantly since
the rest, tof the world has been
brought into after-war contact with
the existing conditions. The Sunday
schools of America, numbering 5000
will raise $500, 900 by themselves for
their little hungering friends over
seas. To help save lives of children
thousands of children of the various
countries in Europe have been taken
over to Swenden, Norway and Den.
mark, to be fed and clothed. until
some relief comes from America. =.
"1n one instance sand Dr. H. G.
Stub, president of the National Luth-
eran Council and head of the Nor
wegian Lutheran church of America,
in an address to the recent meeting
of state workers in Minneapolis, "a
little child, whenever she would re-
ceive a piece of candy from any one
would quietly disappear from the
room, and presently return. She did
not eat the candy, this they noticed.
When asked what disposition she
made of it she confessed, II keep
every piece get, SO can give lit to
my mamma, when I get back to her" :"
The child was one of thousands that
had been taken from her mother,
who had nothing with which, to feed
the child.
In preparation for the appeal
which will be made i'm every part of
Minnesota for May 9th to 18th, two
state meetings have been held re-
Gently at Minneapolis, and county
chairmen have been named: The
Lutherans are not in the Interchurch
World Movement, and therefore will
have. no part; in that dri to take
place soon. The united efforts of
every Lutheran body in this state,
regardless of national descent, or
synodical affiliation, are uniting in
this life-saving effort of the Lutheran
World Service Commission.
Anyone inclined to give a helping
hand for this cause said Rev. &.
Keller Rubrecht, state director Who
may not be affiliated with the Luth-
eran denomination, or Lutherans who
may not be reached by the direct
appeal of the. county organization,
will kindly forward any such help
to state headquarters, SOL West Ho-
tel, Minneapolis: Every such sum
will be duly accredited to the county
or community from which it is re-
ceived.
The quota allotted to the State of
Minnesota is $228,oO0. This county
has been asked to raise $129.
Rev. H. F. Johnson has been ap-
pointed chairman and will have
charge of the work k in this county.

BY courtesy of the ST. Paul Dis
patch we give the following figures
on the proposed hard surfaced roads
in this county. The Dispatch ~
publishing like description of every
county in the state. 15ss. g2. 5sE

! This county with it's 1885 pop
ulation should, by reason of the
benefits it will receive from the Bah
cock plan, poll exactly 1886 votes ii
favor of the amendment to- the state
constitution. -. n +. :5s q. %
While the plan contemplates the
construction Of 1000 miles Of hard
surfaced highway in, the state, this.
county will receive 73 miles Of the
total. !. At an estimated cost of $780,
600 a mile construction there will
be $2,190000 spent in Cook county. h
There are only 96 motor vehicles:
registered here. At the average rate
of $18 a year for the license, the
road fund will receive only $1,764.
Government estimates, compiled by
expert statisticians, show that 2:
cents a mile are saved by operating
motor vehicles over hard surface
roads. If the SO automobile owners
only run their cars 1000 miles over
these hard roads they will save each
year $1,96O. ]
Altogether there are 294 miles of
roads in the county. Subtractings
the rs miles of hard surfaced, and
included in the trunk highway system,
there will remain 221 miles of roads
which will come under the county
road and bridge fund. This fund
can and will grade, gravel and main
tain this total mileage at no extra
tax rate. p
To sum up. For a. yearly invest
'ment of $1,764 Cook county will re-
ceive g miles of hard surfaced roads
22l miles of gravel roads and the
yearly saving of more than the in
vestment.
Do you think that there will be
one dissenting vate in this county
on Amendment No. at the Novem-
ber election?

Significant Facts.

From this one school land II Is one OF tho
four boys from one town left after one
year and have been transferred TO two
other schools already. and the last reports
from them do not indicate that this is the
last change.
1t Is significant that the boys who often
est peter OUT are most often the sons OF
wealthy people. They seem TO know that
they can do Just about as they please. The
parents admit that they have been toe
enient and plaiutIvely say:--"it IL hard
for us to deny our sons. for they know We
have the means to give, and 1t Is difficult
for youth to understand why they cant
have of what Is so plentiful"
So we see boys-and girls-going from
one school to another. parents making nj
kinds of excuses for them. untl finally q
tutor must be requistioned to put then
through exams" II this is possible ever
with the tutors help.
1t IS said OF two girls who had every
advantage Except sensible strong minded
lparentsD that they never passed an exam
inatien at any of the numerous schools
they attended. When financial disaster
overlook the family these girls were un
able to make living in any way excep
by common labor.
| This failure on the part of the parents
to keep children steadily nj whatever they
undertake weakens their ability to pu
