RUSSIANS need FLOUR
TO RELIEVE FAMINE

American Friends. acting in har-
mony with the American Relief al
ministration, of which Herbert Hoover
is chairman, have undertaken the
work of collecting a fund for the re
lief of the famine sufferers in Russia.
Their representatives are now in thai
country engaged in distributing sup
plies which the Friends already have
forwarded. and their organization Is
prepared to administer, though It's
own agents. S5.0O0,000 worth of soreiF
needed essential commodities to be
procured and dispatched from the
United States. Food and medicines
are required, and it is hoped that the
money for Russian relief can be used
to secure them in this country
Over fifteen millions of people are
facing long. cold winter without the
food supplies necessary to sustain
bare existence. and, although the Rus
sian famine of 1892. TO the relief OF
which the American millers cOnulbu'-
cd a shipload OF flour, was terrible,
the present situation is many times
worse, according to reports.
The chief commodity required TO
meet this great emergency. it IS sail.
is flour. either of wheat or rye and
the American Friends Service com
rittee intends to use for this purpose
such good and wholesome American
flour as may be most available and
therefore the cheapest. 1t asks con,
tributors to convert their gifts o.
money into flour when possible or
convenient and. where money is con
tributed to its fund, it proposes +

She returned to her sewing with
