AID POLAND
American Red Cross Will Assist In
That Country.

With government reports estimat-
ing the number of children infected
with tuberculosis at 40 per cent.
typhus spreading at an alarming rate
among the undernourished popula-
ton, and with an estimated food
supply sufficient to last only four
months, Poland is facing her dark
est winter, according to reports to
National Headquarters Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
After six consecutive years of pri-
walton and suffering without ade-
quate food for clothing, children of
the new Central European republic
fall easy prey to plaques. Tuber-
culosis among the milk cows of the
nation is strong contributing fac
tor to the alarming spread of the
disease. Medical officers Of the
American Red Cross who have made
Investigations among the rural dis
tricts report bovine tuberculosis is
general. As unusually high rate of
child morality is the result.
The coming of winter has brought
recurrence of typhus, the disease
that caused hundreds of thousands
of deaths in Central Europe last win
ter. In its effort to better sanitary
conditions, the American Red Cross
has turned over tons of soap to the
danger zones east and south of War
saw. II will be used in hospitals,
public baths and for distribution
among the villages.
Before the war Poland made a
large amount of soap, but the in
dustry has been crippled by lack of
materials and labor. Such alarm
ing health conditions have led the
European Relief Council, of which
the Red Cross is member, and
which is raising S33,000,000 for re-
lief among the children of Europe, to
appropriate S1O,000,O00 toward a
medical program.

GIVE PLAY
Benefit Play For The Maroon And
Cream"

The appealing and stirring Ameri-
can comedy drama, "The Man from
Home" BY Booth Harrington and
Harry Wilson, is to be given at the
Strand theater on the evening Of
January "a, at 8:15 p. m, under the
auspices Of the Senior and Junior
classes Of Alma College.
Two American young people,
brother AMI sister, travelling in Eu-
rope become dazzled by the false
glories Of party of English aristo-
crazy, and are about to form mar
riage alliances with them, when sud
denly there appears on the scene, a
quaint and horribly American lawyer
from Kokomo, Indiana, who proceeds
to spoil the game of the crooks. He
is the guardian Of the young people
and in that capacity he thwarts their
designs and the plans of his wards.
who, shocked at his manners, deter
mine to proceed regardless of his
wishes. A Russian Grand-Duke
travelling ncognito, and later an es-
capped convict, entangle the maze OF
threads, and finally enable the Amer
lean to open the eyes Of his wards
to the fact that British family can
ndergo terrific changes between the
days Of Crecy and Agincourt and our
own day His chief end attained, he
shows the girl that an American al
lance is entirely to be desired.
The story is told in the incompar-
able style of Booth Harrington, the
master story-teler. told with the
freedom and ease Of a play of the
American common people" 1t is
democratic to the last analysis, and
a play which cannot fail TO delight
all who may see it, and to render
sorry all who may miss it for any
reason.
The best talent in the Senior and
Junior Classes Of the college has
been enlisted. and il is to be prophe-
sled that with the cooperation of the
public we shall enjoy splendid even

"The National committee report
ing endorsements on Great Lake and

federation between the four great
farm organizations represented in
Washington; recommending strict
enforcement of prohibition law;
tightening immigration laws; oppos-
ing speculation on the future price of
farm products by Board of Trade;
recommending the appointment of a
practical farmer for Sec'y of Agri-
culture.
'The State committee reported as
endorsing the State Constabulary;
pledging cooperation with State

a complete change in taxation for

Report of Legislative Committee
whose object is to promote the in
terests of Agriculture in the Legis-
lature. This committee is composed
Of three members from the Cleaners,
three from Grange, three from Farm
ers' Clubs. This committee have
placed two members on State Board
of Agriculture who are farmers.
While committee has been in exist
ence only two years it bears much
weight in Legislature.
Hon. l.. Whitney Watkins con-
cluded the session with a discussion
Of the Farmer as a Business Man.
"He stated that it is harder for
farmers to cooperate than for BUSH
ness men because the farmer is not
dependent on his neighbor as a means
of his own success. Farmers have
been taught to produce but not to
sell. They must now develop sales
manship and be middieman as wei!
as a producer. They must do this
gladly and willingly and show to the
world that they want a square deal
and prove to the worl dthat they can
be trusted"

When the financial editor of the

of praise for the work of the repub-

coded even by our democratic friends
that something has been or is being

the obstacles placed in the path of
prosperity by the preceding admins

the news that is coming out of

able between November. 1920. and

! in authority and Of every right
, thinking citizen to do every thing
possible for the relief of the disabled
soldiers and as far as possible as
sist them in becoming Independent
and self sustaining In spite of the
mistakes and delays due to the con-
fusion incident to readjustment fol-
lowing the great war. the government
has accomplished much for the bene-
at Of the veterans and is now in posi-
ton to do much more. This was en-
phasized by President Harding in his
recent address to the senate asking
that action on the soldiers bonus bill
be deferred. The president pointed
out that there has already been paid
in allotments and allowances s57S.-
465.65S. and these payments will con-
tinue at the rate of many millions an
nualIy. There are 1O7S24 men en-
rolled in vocational training. There

To those veterans of the world war
Who are still insisting that they
should have a cash bonus, the ad-
