To the Editor of the Opinion;-
The following extract from letter
received recently by me from Bos-
ton lady, visiting in China, and dated
Tianfu, Shantung, April y, l92l' may
be Of interest to your readers in view
OF the efforts made in this country
during the past winter to raise funds
for the benefit of the famine stricken

in the field and to keep them supplleu
with foreign food, attends to intricate
banking and. accounts, and dozens OF
other things, tnat ii would be nara
for any one in America to even imagine.

carried by wheelbarrow and 1t takes
two days to make the trip from here.
They expect to stop the distributors
the end of May as winter wheat VIII
be ripe then. So the intention Is to
finish up with a money distribution,
to give the poor creatures something
20 start life again, and 1t viii take
$4,000 to go around among the $4,000
families on the list. But paper money
would be no good whatever to them in
those regions and the banks here say
they can't possibly get as many as
$1,000 actual silver dollars; and even
then imagine transporting all those
dollars by wheelbarrow And after
the people get the silver dollars, how
VIII they ever get them changed into
copper and brass which is the only
disable form for their small purchases
4 silver dollar is worth at least 15O
coppcrs. and one copper Is worth 10
brass cash. So II you VIII apply your
mind to the problem OF
how many cash there are in $4,000
and then imagine them loaded in
anyway. they have saved the peoples
lives. and while they are waiting in

Pirates, Indians Seem
Due For Big League Tops

Unless the Giants lose their diges-
tory troubles. the Pirates have little
TO fear.
SO far this season. the New York
ers have been swallowing FISH with
out strangling on bone TO choke on
ice cream. The hardest opponents
have been easy for them while they
have been easy for the little fellows.
The Cards and Brooklyn have
taken 20 games from the McGraw
clan. while the Reds, Cubs and
Phns have also won 90.
The Giants can beat Pittsburgh
and Boston. but they can't cruise
through the second division like the
Pirates have been doing.

what did you hear or see that

I always hear a lot Of interesting

To handle these hundreds OF thou
