A campaign for the relief OF famine

Millions Of people in northern
China, face death by starvation, as a
result Of the loss, of their crops YER
a period of several years. The situa~
ton heggars description. 1t is one Of
which the people of the United States
nave only recently become Informed.
In China there is an area OF many
hundred thousand square miles in
which 10 crops have been raised for
the last two Or three years. The
great district is practically without
transportation facilities; its people
live in small towns and are depend
ent for their food stuffs almost who'll
~ upon the samll intensively culti-
waited fields hat surround their
towns. First it was the drought, and
thcn the locusts. and last fall these
millions of people found themselves
virtually without food. 1t was some
time before relief measures were 'un-
dertaken, for the Chinese themselves
had not become appreciative of the
fact that when the conditions became
known to the world, the world would
help them.
Since the situation became known,
well organized relief committees
have been formed, but the need of
none is great.

Concerns that rode safely and stead

Ladies Auxiliary
Holds Go0d Weeting

The regular meeting Of the Wo-
mans Auxiliary of the American Le-
gion was held on Tuesday evening at
the city hall. AT this time a further
distribution Of sewing materials was
made among Che ladies that the par
ticuar stint" upon which they were
working may be finished in good
time. During the past weeks the
Auxiliary has been able to render
considerable assistance in one way or
another to various families, and in
rendering this assistance the organ
iaton is functioning in its proper
sphere.
Almost every one knows something
of the splendid courage and unusual
tenderness which was shown by the
boys toward their "buddies" during
the FLU" epidemics. The same spirit
was shown at every turn Of the war.
No effort was too strenuous, and no
sacrifice too great for ore Of them
to make for a "buddie' 1t is this
spirit Of helpfulness and sympathy
which the American Legion and its
Auxiliary are striving to foster and
perpetuste Many ex-service men, on
their families, are especially in need
of assistance during the present labor
shortage, and in these crises, as well
as in other situations which may
arise, the organizations wish to stand
as a strong group Of buddies, whose
first aim is brotherlness.
The American. Legion has done
splendid work in gaining new mem
bers, and following their lead, the
Woman's Auxiliary is now engaged
in a city wide campaign for new and
interested members. The program
for the coming year promises to be
an active one and it is sincerely
hoped that every eligible lady Of the
city will apply for membership and
line up for action 1t is a high hon
or to stand back Of those boys who
fought and sacrificed so bravely Cor
us during the years of war, and we
can best show our Appreciation and
pride by standing ready as a strong
organization to help in the inevitable
raedjustment to civilian life which
every soldier has had to meet.
