JUS. ASKED TO AID
HUNGRY CHINESE

Washington, Dec. 9-The Ameri-

President Wilson to respond as they

from famine stricken China. At the
same time Mr. Wilson announced the
appointment of committee OF l30
men and women in all parts of the
country to collect the funds contri-

President, that the loss resulting
from death in distressing form may

added that he realized that the task of
giving today was not light one,
but that he ventured to make the APP
peal mot only in the name of human
ity but in that of the friendliness
which we feel for a great people in
distress"
The President said that in order to
assure an orderly collection of contri-
buttons he had invited "a nationwide
committee" to lend its aid Thomas
w. Lamont of New York is named
chairman Of the committee, and Act
ing Secretary Davis of the State De-
partment, treasurer.
In his appeal Mr. Wilson said
Under the circumstances, relief to

tally worthy of the attention of our
citizens. To an unusual degree the
Chinese people look to us for counsel
and for effective friendship. Our
churches, through their religious and
medical missionaries, their schools
and colleges, and our philanthropic
foundations have rendered China an
incalculable benefit, which her people
recognize with gratitude and devotion
to the United States. Therefore, not

Some Reasons Why
the Farmer Should
Keep Thanksgiving

Just now, apart from our knowl-
edge Of food secure, perhaps some
Of US feel it necessary to fall back
upon the private reasons for thank
fulness. Each n has some bit of
personal %well-being that can be brought
out and rubbed up and admiEed
just to keep VI home circle
happy this Thanksgiving day. Each
n knows their own cause for con-
tent, even where it is so common
place as not to be distinctly visible to
0tkers. Especially this year we mustn't
lose sight of the personal bright
spots on account of their everyday
character.
A person was once visiting a friend
whose home commanded a beautiful
stretch Of mountain scenery. 1t was,
in fact, q magnificent view. "What
a wonderful outlook you have here"
he remarked to his host. 81 am sure
if I lived here 1 should spend most
of my time viewing the landscape"
"Why, 1 never thought of it that
way" his host replied. 81 never con-
sidered it anything remarkable. 1
have simply taken it as a matter of
course"
Thousands of people who live in
the country enjoy a treasure which is
denied 20 millions of their fellowmen
the blessing of good, pure, out-of-
door air, fragrant in spring and sum-
mer with perfume of flowers or new
mown hay, and in fall and winter la
den with crisp, life-giving ozone.
No n enjoys more blessings and
treasures of this kind than the man
or woman IN the farm. He or she.
if inclined to be of % complaining ma
ture, is apt to find fault that life on
the farm is 81 hard and composed so
largely of drudgery. Furthermore,
star away fields are always green"
and the one on the farm imagines
that il the city all must be ease and
contentment. These imaginings. how
ever, will not stand the test of
personal acquaintanceship with the
life that is lived in the cities by hun
dreds of thousands of people. Farm
work is hard, but there are no easy
berths in life.
The average person on the farm
lives better, enjoys better air to
breathe, better water to drink, better
food to eat. better conditions under
which to work, better health than the
man or woman in corresponding cir
cumstances in the city.
And this must give US each our
personal bright spot for thanksgiving
and good cheer.

John l.. Sullivan.

In the evenings when weather would
permit, Sullivan always played ball
on the commons.
On one occasion while playing with
one of the Boston teams, Harry
Wright, veteran baseball manager,
happened to be a witness of the con-
test. Immediately after the game he
sought out Sullivan and offered him
a job, agreeing to pay John l.. as
much as he made in the tin shop. This
was not attractive to Sullivan because
he frequently made more than $50 on
the side in boxing matches in and
around Boston. He realized that if he
played baseball he would not be able
to accept boxing engagements, SO he
passed up Wright's offer with thanks
and with a regret.
Sullivan had no particular position
On the ball field, although by some it
was said he had a slight preference
for first base. He loved to swing a
bat and he loved the excitement of
running the bases. Wright was i'm
pressed with Sullivan's speed and his
throwing ability, and stated to friends
of the young pug hat with a little spe-
cial training Sullivan would be a bright
star.

GAME
LURES few PLAYERS
Little Encouragement Offered to
College Stars.
Not Many Students Willing to Give Up
Chance for Glory and Honor That
Comes With the Making of
Varsity Team"

1t shows q very altruiStic spirit on
the part of those who are interested in
professional football to come to an
agreement in their association of which
Jim Thorpe is the president not to at
tempt to yea any player away from a
college team during it's schedule.
When you consider the thousands of
collegians who engage in the gridiron
game every autumn and the few who
compete as out-and-out paid players,
the 'pro" of the pigskin is but a drop
in the bucket. Few students can be
induced during their college days to
give up the chance for the glory and
honor that comes with the making of
the varsity team"
Every now and then there is a case
Of a star player masquerading under
an assumed name for a game or two,
but the real luminaries get so much
publicity that they are almost sure to
he recognized, even if they play in
some out-Of-the-way town, says a
writer in Philadelphia Record. The
collegian who would jeopardize his
chances for fame on a college team is
not very common. After all, there is
little in the professional game to in
duce many to take it up as seriously
as they would baseball. The season Is
too short, and past history has proved
that the financial returns were never
what you could call enormous. Out in
Ohio the professional gridiron game
has thrived for some reason or an
other, but in the big cities 1t has never
been a remarkable success. In Mas
sillon and Canton professional football
has been well established and many
stars have been attracted to take a
flyer for a season.
There is a tendency for development
in the game, and possibly some day
we may see a national league with rep
resentatives in the big cities, but that
era seems quite q distance away yet.
Soccer, which has never appealed the
same way to the public which loves
the college sport, has paid far better
than the professional offspring Of the
Rugby game. The chief reason for this
is that there is an opportunity for a
much longer schedule, and it is not so
exacting on the players. Professional
football may pay in places where there
is not the lure Of the big college con
tests, but it will rival the anna
teur brand.
