CT Man Whom the Sheriff Forgot to
Hang.
The case of Lonnie Eaton, negro,
whom the sheriff of Ouachita Parish
"rorgot" to hang February four, was
on the docket for disposal by the state
pardon board at its meeting in Baton
Rouge. La, this week.
Eaton's case caused widespread
comment when Sheriff Grant. OF
Ouachita, wrote Governor Parker
shortly after February four that he
had been 80 rushed with work that
he forgot to hang Eaton. who was
accused of participation in the murder
of white man. ~.
Attorney General Coco, in a written
opinion, he'd that Eaton's status was
unchanged by the sheriff's oversight
and. that there was nothing in the
statute books to prevent a future date
being set for the execution.
Other circumstances taken into con-
sidaration, however, the attorney gen.
eral expressed himself in favor OF q
pardon. His views were seconded by
Governor Parker. The views of Lieu-
tenant Governor Bauanchaud, the
third member Of the pardon board,
have not been expressed.

Fallen Fruit.

: a great many people are like fallen
fruit. They give promise of great
things and the first rustic among the
branches sends them to the ground.
Nature designs that fruit should re-
main on the trees until it natures, but
then there are many things that in
terfere with nature and destroy its
plan. And it's not in the autumn
alone that fruit falls before the time.
From rhe early small fruits of spring
time until the last apple in the fall
there is a succession of falling fruit.
II all looks good enough, but that is
only another evidence that you can't
tell much by the looks. We all enjoy
what is good to the eyes, but it's never
safe to lean on appearSnces.-Grit.

100000 CHILDREN
FACING STARVATION
Vast Relief Effort Launched by
Eight Leading American Organ
izations to Avert Tragedy.

The most spontaneous as we'll as the
largest consolidation of effort in the
history of American relief and charita-
BILE organizations has grown out of the
disaster which threatens 100000
European children this winter. To the
headquarters of every agency that dis
penses American mercy overseas has
come one steady cry for months past;
the children, most helpless and blame
less sufferers in the track of war, will
perish by the thousands before next
harvest unless America saves them
When Dr. Livingston Farrand, chaiFs
man of the Central Committee of the
American Red Cross, returned from &
recent trip abroad, his report throbbed
with the need of the children. From
the feeding-stations of the American
Relief Administration throughout east
ern and central Europe came letters,
cables, pleas of every sort The Pro
testant churches sent Investigators
into after-war conditions and every
report breathed the impending tragedy
of starving and diseased children
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish, the
child life of Europe is threatened with
heartrending misery.
The European Relief Council, with
Herbert Hoover as chairman and the
whole power of American charitable
thought and effort behind 1t, has been
formed 1t consists of Edgar Rick
ard, representing the American Relief
Administration DR. Livingston Far
rand, representing the American Red
Cross; Felix Warburg, representing
the Jewish Joint Distribution Commit
tee Wilbur X Thomas, representing
the American Friends Service Com
mittee: James A. Flaherty, represent
ing the knights of Columbus; DR.. C.
V. Hubbard, representing the Young
Mems Christian Association; Miss
Sarah S. Lyon, representing the Young
Women's Christian Association; DR.
Arthur Brown, representing the Fed
eral Council of Churches.
It is the purpose of the Council to
raise S33,O00,O0O. in an appeal center
ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the situation regarding child
life may be met. In every town and
community of the nation, 1t Is hoped,
local committees, representing all the /
cooperating agencies will be formed
to secure the vitality necessary funds.
OF the amount sought, S2S,000,000 will
be used for basic food. For every one
of these American dollars the local
governments and communities aided
will furnish two dollars, in the form
Of transportation, labor, guards, cleri-
cal help, cash contributions and such
food supplies as are locally obtainable.
No children receive the free food ex-
cept after medical tests showing them
to be seriously under-nourished. The
remaining $10,000,O00 of the fund is
just as urgently needed for medical
service TO the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies In
the raising of the childsaving fund.
1t will, with the inspecting forces of
eight great agencie7, keep constant
eye on the administration of Americas
merciful gift, In order that there shall
be no wastage and nc tendency toward
puuperization.
