The Old Barn Cat

The dim old barn is empty now anu

The swallows nest securely IN ahhoi's

Tho mice have sought the meadow
and are growing sleek and fat.
I'm its surely slender picking for the
old barn cat.
He comes around at milking time with
manners fine as silk.
A-coaxing for a saucer of his fav-rite
mooley's milk;
like to keep him coaXing, rubbing,
purring and all that.
But he always gets saueerIui-'he

Admission, February 12-(S pecial)-
The American Red Cross is one of
eight organiza tions that viii make a
Joint appeal to the public for $4,000
Olt, the amount needed to take care OF
more than 100000 destitute children
of Europe to whom the American re-
lief administration has given aid in the
past.
The association is at the end of its
resources; to abandon the relief work
would be inconceivably cruel. There
would be no tragedy in history as the
fate that would await these little
waits should sustenance and aid from
outside be taken away.
The $35,000,oo0 which the American
association, headed by Herbert Hoover
is collecting from the public will be
used for milk, medical care and cloth
ing. The cause is one which should
appeal to every man and woman, par
ticularly mothers and fathers. No
dren in his heart should refuse to aid
these innocent victims Of war and
pestilence.
Realizing the vital Importance of
this CALL the churches of the nation
have also entered into the task of aid
ing the starving millions across the
waters. Eloquent appeals were made
by all of Anniston's ministers last sun
day and generous amount dNnated
by all of the churches for this pur-
pose.
The Junior Red Cross is also work
ing for the millions of little children
throughout Europe who cannot be fed
unless America takes them in as her
guests, seats them at her table and
keeps hunger away until harvest time
brings relief. The European relief
council has asked the members of the
Junior Red Cross to entertain in happy
imagination one or more children in
each of their homes this winter. The
