HEAT POPS CORN ON
STALK IN EAST TEXAS

Hageryille, TeNas.-lt's an i'll wind
that blows no good. The weather got
so hot here last week that practically
every crop was burned on the stalk
Apples were baked on the trees and
sweet potatoes in the ground. Corn
shriveled in the heat turned up the
blades and melted to the ground. Jim
Bartiey crawled out in the shade OF
a tree and lay there To watch his
three acres OF popcorn burn down.
But that popcorn was nearer ma
turity than Jim thought and as he
lay there mopping his face with
big rag he saw something v'ich
made him blear-eyed and wild. As
the sun climbed toward the zenith
the grains be gan TO pop. For three
hours the cracking OF the popcorn
continued until the ground was COW

\ DREAM OF WHEN
EVERYBODY WORKS.

Mr. Bremond a prominent bust
ness man OF Austin had the following
dream:
II thought there was some psyche
logic wave, and every man, woman,
and child woke up one morning with
the desire and will to devote every
leisure hour TO some form of work.
The Elks put aside their dominoes
and. meeting with the Lions, Kiwa
mans and Rotarians in their neigh
horhood streets, cleared the drains
and gathered up the loose stones;
the swarm of loafers at the Little
best jobs offered, cheertully accept
ing one dollar il no one offered five;
the League OF Women Voters adjourn
ed it's meeting and the members
found plenty to do in their own
households; the moving picture cen
sor closed his desk and went home
to whitewash chicken coop; the
children pulled up the weeds in the
school yard. the preacher talked
about the dignity OF labor. and made
il clear that one could pray just as
effectually in overalls as in paia-
mas. the ladies found the garden
trowel just as restful to tired nerves
as bridge. and the men that more
could be accomplished with the hoe
than with the golf club. Even the
university professor quit his job Of
experimenting the earth to nov the
campus lawn. The great army OF up
lifters disbanded. Everybody was
busy and there was nobody to re-
form. One afternoon the fire truck
swung down the street, and not a
single automobile chased after 1t
There was a dog fight on Congress
avenue and no crowd gathered to see
how II came out. A pretty girl got on
the street car. exposing a dimpled
knee, but nobody saw it. The man
who had always stood on that corner
was painting his front gate. Every
where was heard the swish of the
paint brush and the cheerful music
OF the hammer and saw. After a bit
a stranger came TO town. He found
the most cheerful. friendly and self
respecting people he had ever seen.
and Austin became the cleanest. most
orderly and beautifub city in the
world. A man who had been asleep
for sixty days woke up. He thought
he was In heaven"
There's a dream that is more than
a dream. IT'S a prescription for what
ais us.

THE PLEA OF THE HUNGRY.

According to information just received by The
Morning journal from New Mexico workers in be-
half of the starving children of Europe, the
first annual report from the European Re
lief Councils warehouse at Linz Austria, shows a
distribution of $500 tons of foodstuffs which have
relieved the suffering of 10000 undernourished
children in the northern section of the country
during the past year
In addition clothing to total value of s443-
934.55 has been given the destitute children from
the several relief stations deriving their supplies
from the warehouse. The distribution of this wear
ing apparel was as necessary to the welfare Of
the little war victims the food itself, for all Of
them are SO utterly destitute they had insufficient
clothing to enable them to to the feeding station
in winter weather for their one hot meal a day
Recognizing this predcament and realizing that
almost Of the little sufferers receive any food
save that given them by the council, the manage
ment of the Linz warehouse arranged for the cloth
ing supplies, a large proportion Of which were con-
trbuted by firms and private individuals, WITHOUT
in any way depicting the organizations fund for
food and medical supplies. firm of British boot
makers donated 10000 pairs Of boys and girls
shoes, which comprised portion of the distribu-
ton
The operation of the warehouse at Linz is
tvpcal of that of twenty seven others maintained
at central points in all the countries of Europe
where the effects of the world war have been so
demoralizing that the continuance of child life has
been dependent upon American aid This condition
is expected to greatly relieve in most of the
stricken countries by the next harvest Until that
time however it is ESSENTIAL that American agencies
continue their relief if they would avoid an APP
palling toll of death among children.
To avert this catastrophe the American Rehef
Council was formed by the eight leading American
relief organizations under the leadership Of Her
bert Hoover and is now conducting a national
collection to assure $33 600 600 for the distribution
Of food and medical supplies. More than half this
sum has not been raised
OF the fund collected $10000,O0O will be spent
for medical supplies and attendance for the fam
inc condition in many sections is so acute that
many little victims have already become afflicted
with ricketts, and other diseases induced by under
| nourishment. The remaining $23,OOO,OOO VIII b'
used for the purchase of nourishing food.
Under the economical operation of Mr.. Hoover
organization a contribution of SO will save the life
of a child and a donation of 81 will keep little
sufferer alive for month.
Is it worth it to you Mr.. and Mrs. New Mex
lean?
If So communicate Immediately with Mrs. j. T
Mclaughlin, local chairman.
