CHINA RELIEF
STARTED HERE
REV. c. w. BAXTER APPOINTED
CHAIRMAN OF Local
COMMITTEE.
HAS NAMED PASTORS OF ALE
NEW ULM CHURCHES TO
HELP IN DRIVE.

Rev. G. w. Baxter, rector of St.
Peters Episcopal church of this city,
has been appointed chairman Of the
committee which will have charge of
the sale of China Life Saving Stamps
in New Ulm. He received his ap-
pointment the fore part of this week
from the American Committee for
China Famine Fund, Bible House,
New York City. Rev. Baxter has
named the pastors of the six other local
churches as members of the committee
and either they, or someone designated
by them, will assist in the drive here.
On Sale at Banks.
The sale of China Life Saving
Stamps on nationwide scale is part
of the concerted effort by all agencies
concerned, cooperating through the
American Committee for China
Famine Fund, to raise contributions
throughout America for the relief OF
the 15,000,000 people in North China,
who are facing death by starvtion.
The price of these stamps is three cents
each, that being the sum that will buy
a days rations for Chinese, and they
will be on sale at every one of the local
banks.
Put Them on Letters.
The aim is to put a China Life
Saving Stamp on every letter that is
sent through the mails. The best esti-
mates obtainable show that some
Il, ,000, 200, 600 postage stamps are sold
in the United States in the course of
year, which is on an average of $50 for
every man, woman and child in the
country. That means about IL each
month during which the starvinsss-s
lionsEin North China must be fed s,fsom
outside sources until their next harvest
in June enables them to care for them
selves.
81,940 Stamps Here.
Figured upon the above basis, it
means that in this city of 6,745 in
habitants about 81,940 postage stamps
will be used each month. If only each
one will put China Life Saving Stamp
on each letter, it would mean that New
Ulms alone would keep alive that num-
Der Of Chinese for single day in each
month. One dollar a month is suffi-
cient to provide food for a hungry
Chinese until his next harvest is ready,
and that means that if every person in
this city buys IL stamps month, it
will save 2,248 lives.

Minnesota, United States of America. y
It was written by Hon. D. Nuffer,
burgomaster of Neu Ulm, Bavaria,
and contains an appeal for help for the
destitute people of our namesake

ton is written in English and appears
to be literal translation of the original
German text. Believing that it will
interest many of our readers, we
publish the full text of the latter, lust
as it was written.
The Burgomaster's Letter.
Neu Ulm, Bayern, 4 January 81.
On the Lordmayor of New Ulm,
U. st. of A.
Dear Sir:
Neu Ulm is as you already know
likely little town in the republic Of
Bavaria, with very Industrious but
poor population. Our unhappy coun-
try, appropriated and impoverished by
the most terrible war, is in greatest
distress, in a manner that our children
are dying by want of nourishing foods.
No tongue can describe our misery!
Therefor / allow me to write you and
to beg you, Sir, in your capacity as
Lordmayor of that happier New Ulm
in the New World, to assist my loved
fellow citizens by some little gifts.
They never shall forget their helps in
need!
Very respectfully yours,
