February, stingy cuss,

TO FEBRUARY.
February, stingy cuss,
You are holding out on us
Hence we raise and make a fuss.
You're tightwad-we can prove it
Here's the stain; you can't remove it
Last year you gave twenty nine
Days, some wretched and some fine
This year only twenty-eight,
Though we pay the self-same ratel
Why the shortage, February?
Are you stingy, or contrary?
Why deprive us of day,
Without cutting down your pay?
Cant you give birthday, maybe,
To each 18th born baby?
February, much we fear
You've become a profiteerl
With the cheats you now are rated
And may be investigated!

CAN YOU SAVE A LIFE?
Ten dollars will feed a child in
Europe, under Herbert Hoover's sys-
tenn of feeding them, for three months.
Hoover calls upon the American peo-
pie to contribute. He knows more
than any one in the world how this
work should be done. He is giving
his time, his money and his wealth of
knowledge and experience gained in
four years of feeding the starving
people of BELGIUM, France and other
war torn countries of Europe, to save
these precious lives. These children
are not being fed as our children are
being fed, but they will get enough TO
sustaino life by this pitiable donation
of 10 cents a day. Will our consci \
ence permit us to spend dimes for lax
uries when every dime would feed
child a day?
Congressman French has sent an ap-
peal to the people of Moscow his
home town, to aid in saving these
precious lives land they are as prec-
ious to these people as the lives of
our children are to them and to u.s.
and he asks that we contribute viii
we do it?
Herbert Hoover is being supported
In his work by eight great organila
tons that have turned over the man
igement to him because they realize
hat he will do it properly and that
!, no ca1 afip No
overhead" expenses. All of the or
yanizations for the relief of starving
Europeans, but one, the ''Near East
relief" association. have combined
Nth Herbert Hoover to save these
ives. 1t will require 100000 to
o this. The sum is large, but it is
ass than one third of the sum asked
y a few fanatics to enforce the pro-
ibition law in the United States. Is
not far better to spend $33.000,000l
, save these lives than to spend $780,
10000 running down boot-leggers or =
rosecuting makers of ''home Brew"
The Literary Digest has raised 3d. Y
10000 to save these children and =
yery dollar has been turned over to
e association of which Herbert ii
DOVER is the head. Hon. Burton L. et
rench. whom the people of Moscow, ca
Latah county, of the First congress- M
nal district and of Idaho know, love T.
ID trust, has asked us to help. Can't ne
ery one of us spare ST. ten dimes D,
at would otherwise be spent for W
n-essentials, and feed child 10 OF
US. 1t only requires 81 each from til
e-third of the people of the United
ates to save them all, 3,500,000 of n
en-. VIII we do it?
