UTAH ORGANIZED
FOR CHILD RELIEF

Utahns are called on to help starv-
ing children I'm eastern and central
Europe. A state joint committee for
the European Relief council has been
organized with headquarters In the
Hotel Utah, Salt Lake City. to assist
the national council in raising $685.
100000 to aid these children. Mrs.
Annie Wells Cannon has been made
state chairman, with a joint commit
tee of Mrs. A. j. Gorham, Daniel Alex
ander, X. G. Treanor of Salt Lake
and NJ. J. O'Connor of Ogden. w. w.
Armstrong, prominent banker of Salt
Lake, has been made treasurer, and
the National Copper bank Is being used
AS depository. Mrs. ii. w. Pickering
of Salt Lake is secretary. Letters
have been sent to every community In
the state asking that three prominent
men or women be given charge OF the
campaign In their towns and every
cent to be raised In the state Is to 20
direct to the starving children. In or
der to do this the few expenses en-
tailed are TO be paid from the national
headquarters OF the council.
1t Is the aim of the national organ
ization to raise throughout the entire
country the $33, 100000 TO feed $500
900 children until harvest time. This
will give but SO for each child and
will mean but one meal day for each
little underfed urchn; and that meal
will be but Of cocoa, milk, beans, lard
and bread. II Utahns are generous
enough this bread may be white in
stead OF the coarse dark bread made
partly OF sawdust. The weight Of
each child Is being carefully watched
aud as little one gets to II certain
prescribed number of pounds he steps
out of the relief food line and is re-
placed by a pitiful human atom In
worse condition than himself. These
children do not play, do not laugh,
but are just merely fighting to exist.
Herbert Hoover, who has gained the
thorough confidence of the American
people in his relief work, Is heading
the council. This council Is composed
OF all relief organizations which are
working against wholesale child
tragedy In the former war zones Of
central and eastern Europe. The local
state committee does not intend 20
'peSter" Utah citizens for contribu-
lions, ms theN DelleNe the cause speaks
for itself. All contributions are there
fore To he voluntary, raised rather
through entertainments than canvass.
Picture theatres al over the country
have come to the hearty support OF the
council and have set aside January 20
for speeches and collections for the
council. The biggest children's party
In the history of the world is to be
staged on January %, when picture
show houses will show specially
prepared film and all receipts for adj
mission will go 10 the European Relief
council. On January 20 every motion
picture theatre will he open for speak
ers and the collection of funds.
The state campaign will close Janu
AIRY 81. The state committee have nc
doubts but that Utah will raise gen.
, erous sum by that date.

 Perhaps it will De of interest to your people to know or the success of a young lady from your county. Miss Winnie Davis Gardner, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. w. Gardner of Richmond, has been employed as a teacher of this high school for the past term. In connection with educational lines, she is not to be surpassed-in our school she is a favorite with the faculty as we'll as with the students She is sponsor of one of the classes; sponsor of the Wilson Literary Soci- ety; guardian of the three Camp Fires; Captain of the Girls Scouts, and is source of great pleasure to the grade children with her charming way of story telling" She is also live wire in the Methodist church; she is also organizer and teacher of the young ladies' class, and officer of the Epworth league. Our city banquets and entertainments would not be com plete without her. On last Thursday evening she was toas;mfstress at the annual Mothers and Daughters ban quet. By her cleverness and wit and her charming and attractive personal ity, she won the hearts of ali the null titudes present and made the occasion one of the most successful events of the year. Wherever she goes people say of her you can count on her" We sent her to Holly Springs, Miss, to the Hi Y conference-in fact she is the life of our young people. She is a girl of whom Little River county should be proud.
 My childhood days were spent in Southwest Arkansas, and I am proud to see those young people make their mark in the world.

GALL SPECIAL ELECTION
 TO VOTE ON STOCK LAW
There Will Be an Election ill This City May 10th to Vote on Ratification
 of Special Act.

Mayor J. B. Locke has issued pro- clamation for a special election to be held in this city on May 10th for the purpose of submitting to the voters Act No. 266 of the General Assembly fer it's ratification or rejection. This act, which was approved March 11th, governs the empounding of certain stock, and is substantially the ordi- nance heretofore on the ordinance books of this city prohibiting the running at large of stock. The city had trouble in enforcing this ordinance on account of some defect in the en- pounding feature. A special act was passed by the recent legislature cur ing this defect, and it now comes up for vote of the people.
 The council at it's regular meeting this week asked Jas. G. Sanderson to make an estimate of the cost of work ing the streets of the entire town as well as the opening up of all ditches and draining all places needing it..
