LIFE SAVING STAMPS
HELP FAMINE VICTIMS
Each "Mercy" Sticker Purchased
for Three Cents Provides Food
for One Day for a Chinese.

Sales of "Life Saving Stamps" by
the American Committee for China
Famine Fund for the benefit Of China
famine victims have reached total OF
thousands of dollars at the end of the
first month, and already the money Is
actually saving lives in China. Or
ders during the first month aggregated
more than 100000 stamps, which
wiz mean-at the rate Of 8 cents for
each stamp 100000 for the Chinese
when the complete returns have been
made. The stamps are intended TO Sc
cure a multitude Of small contribu-
tons from persons who will not have
an opportunity to contribute in other
ways. The campaign for China is the
greatest single philanthropic effort
now before the American people.
Every state in the Union is now CO.
operating In the life saving stamp
sales, and special committees are at
work in more than 1000 cities through
out the country. The circulation Of
the stamps is being effected by sales
organizations composed Of officers of
the Woman's Foreign Missionary So
cieties, assisted by commercial organi-
cations, schools, churches, Boy and
Girl Scout Camps, Y. M. and Y. W..
Christian Associations, fraternal
lodges, hotel associations, boards OF
education and other volunteers inter-

House to house canvassing for the
sale of the stamps which are intended
to be placed on the backs of letters and
packages-has proved the most effec-
tive method in the smaller commune
ties. In the big cities the stamps have
been sold to business houses, which
are using them on their outgoing mail
and packages. A nominal quota Of ten
stamps for every adult has been set by
the committee, but in many centers
this already has been passed. If I'M
able to obtain stamps through a local
committee write China Famine Fund

THREE PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding, Wilson and Taft Appeal
to Americans to Help Stricken
Millions of Sister Republic.

The President and two ex-PresideNts
of the United States have Joined, for
the first time in the history of the
country, in an appeal for a philan-
thropic enterprise President Harding,
ex-President Wilson and ex-President
Taft are all in the forefront of the
movement to send aid from America to
the famine victims Of China.
One of President Harding's first Off
cial acts after his Inauguration, taken
when he had been in the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor in be-
half of Americas sister republic in the
East. President Harding said in part !:
AT this, the earliest practicable mo-
ment In my administration, desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore In
behalf of the starving people Of large
section Of China.
"The picture Of China's distress is
so tragic that ! am moved, therefore,
to renew the appeal heretofore made
and to express the hope that the Amer
lean people will continue to contribute
to this humanitarian cause as gener-
ously as they possibly can"
In appointing the American commit
tee for China Famine Fund, with his
own immediate predecessor in the
White House, ex-President Taft, as
one of the members, and Thomas w.
Lamont of New York, as chairman,
President Wilson said in his procla-
nation:
"Not only in the name Of humanity,
but In that of the friendliness which
we feel for great people in distress,
venture to ask that our citizens shall,
even though the task of giving is not
today light one, respond as they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
help"

ENGLISH N0BLEMAN
SURPRISED TO FIND
AMERICANS CIVILIZED

Lord Nelson Stafford was surpris-
ed to End so many evidences of civil
lizaztion in "the States" but the
most surprising thing he encounter
ed during his stay at the American
railroad magnate's western home was
Mrs. Chazy Bunker, Indiana Still
waters grandmother. Mr.. Bunker,
though Indiana's grandmother and
Indiana was grown up, was yet
young enough to want to become
Lady Stafford. She induced him
to view the possibility without dis
taste.
This is simply one of several in
teresting and dramatic situations
arising in "Her Lord and Master"
a famous comedy drama by Martha
Morton, visualized as an Alice Joyce
Vitagraph production. 1t will be
shown at the Temple theatre on
Sunday, April II. The production
was directed by Edward Jose, world
famous for his work in connection
with spoken stage and screen. Miss
Joyce is seen as Indiana Saltwater,
a role created on the spoken stage
several years ago by Effie Shannon.

"AIe? Oh, I don't drink because

laughed easily, then added:

"Youre afraid to drink. I dare you

His Victory
BY MURIEL BLAIR

"Father will never consent to our
marriage" Marjorie lamented tear
fully.
"Why not?' Tom asked. kissing the
pretty, pouting lips.
Because he'll say that you cant
support me-" she cried. "And I'll
never be happy with anyone else."
"All right, dearest, I'll try and see
what he says right now" and before
Marjorie could demonstrate he went
into the house, for the two had been
out on the veranda and, guided by the
light under which Mr.. Graham was
reading his evening paper, soon put
the case before him.
$50 you want to marry my daugh-
ter?' was the quick question.
81 do, sir" Tom replied. "She's
dear and sweet enough to make every
one want to do that"
Mr.. Graham shook his head. mo,
Tom," he said decidedly, Marjorie
can't marry any man who has moth
ing more than you, with my consent.
Of course she can go ahead IL she
wants to without it, but don't think
she WILL" and no amount OF pleading
would change him. He and his wife
had married on very small salary,
and he always felt that her early
death was caused by the hardships
she went through before he was earn
ing enough to take care of her proper

Marjorie fretted, but to no purpose.
Occasionally she saw Tom, but always
felt she was wronging her father In
doing so. Tom worked and saved, but
seemed to make no progress In his
suit.
Mr.. Graham was unhappy, too. He
liked Tom, but felt that his daughter
was worthy of someone who had al
ready made his mark In the world,
and so would not give his consent.
sTd gladly share crust with you,
DEAR" she told Tom on one OF the
occasions when they met.

called pauper, when he was earning
a fair salary, was not dissipated, and
was working day and night to attain
his cherished object.

sobbed, clinging to him.

ly. 81 guess it's just another phase OF
the high cost of living" and once
more he set himself to solve the
problem Of how to overcome the OPP
position Of his father-in-law to be.
Matters were in this very unsatis-
factory state when Mr.. Graham was
invited to be one of the speakers at
q banquet given a visiting dignitary.
He was surprised to find Tom at the
same table with himself; in fact, to
find him there at all, but he did not
know that Tom was friend of the

A BIG TINE.
(contributed)

Some of the fastest clearing that
has ever been done in Upper Wiscon-
sin will be performed next Wednes-
day at / o'clock near Washburn. The
Ashland and Bayfield, County Land
Clearing Association in cooperation
with the Trojan Powder Company
are going to blow one acre of stumps
in one blast. The business men of
the two Counties will complete the
clearing by piling and burning of
the stumps Immediately after the
blast. The whole acre is expected
to be cleared in one hour or less.
Ashland and Bayfield, Counties
will, for the coming week, be the
centers of the Land Clearing move
ment in Upper Wisconsin. Officials,
newspaper men and business men
from all over the State will be pre-
sent to see the big blast and to get
an idea of what is being done in
Upper Wisconsin. Let's send them
back with the idea that Bayfield, and
Ashland Counties are the best Coun-
ties in Upper Wisconsin; that we
have the greatest and fastest deve-
looping agricultural Counties in the
State. We want everybody in the
two Counties to be there next We'd
nesday to help us make it a big day.
The blast viii go off promptly at
one o'clock on April goth. Markers
and arrows will be placed on all
roads leading from Ashland and
other points of the Counties to the
field on VIM. Stocks farm at Nash
where 1877 stumps will go out in one
shot. The Bayfield, "Scoot" leaves
Ashland at 1920 P. M. and stops at
Nash within a few blocks of the
field where the big blast will be
held. Governor Blaine has been
invited to close the switch which will
fire this shot and clear the first acre
in the campaign for twenty thousand
new acres in the two counties.
Twenty thousand cleared acres in
1921 will almost double the farming
lands of the two counties and it
means more prosperity for every
one, it makes for a better County,
for a better town, and for better
community for each of us, so let's
all make it point to be on hand
next Wednesday and give the cam
paign a good send-off.

the Republicans proclaimed, and
which aas had the most powerful eff
feet in bringing the ministers of Ul-

made an appeal to Sim Fein by tell

that the shipbuilding of Belfast in 1919
brought f10,000,000 to the country.
The Sim Feiners replied that eggs
valued at 95,000,000 had been export

was OF much more benefit to the
country.

of this new policy toward big busi-
ness. He says:
In country of such enarmous pro-
duction and TREMENDOUS volume of bus
mess, it is not only reasonable, but
it is inevitable, that single organiza-
tions in a variety of lines of indus
try should control large amount OF
capital, employ a great number o.
people and transact vast amount of
business.
Must Judge by Acts, Not Size
Business should not bejudged by
its size, but by its acts and its poll
cies, and there should be no disposi.
ton to interfere with legitimate grow
tn and development.
It is one of the functions of govern
ment to correct abuses, but it is nc
part Of the legitimate business of
government to throw obstacles in the
way of the growth and development
of enterprise.
In many fields the best results
have been secured through large or.

continue to be the case, though the
field should be kept open and the
avenues to opportunity be free for all
