conversation. 1t was very evident

fencin'-leastwise for these days. But
let me tell you that if you want to
know anything about fence making,
you want to ask some of us old fell
lows. Why, back in '68, when me and
Dick Potter was working for the rail-
road, the boss sent us out one morn
ing to build a four-board fence along
both sides of the right of way, and,
sir, by quitting time that night we had
made so much fence that it took us
three whole days to walk back where
we started from."-Phila. Ledger.

NEAR EAST RELIEF

The bill for twenty million dollars
which was signed by President Hard
ing a few days ago, for Russian re-
lief, is to go exclusively for Russia
and not for the Near East, says Har-
old F. Pellegrin, Maryland Director,
Near East Relief. 1t is expected that
this amount will completely carry on
the emergency which now exists in
Russia.
The Near East Relief is cooperating
with all the agencies in Russia, but is
receiving no financial assistance from
them. There is no duplication of re-
lief.
The appeal on behalf of the children
of Russia was sent out by the Federal
Council of Churches of America is not
in any way to be compared with that
of the work which is being done by the
Near East Relief, says Mr.. Pellegrin.
The work of the Near East Relief,
he declares, must necessarily continue
for several years until the orphans
have been brought to point of self
support. The needs in the Near East
are very pressing, he says, and he
earnestly appeals to the people of the
State to continue that support which
is being so splendidly given to the re-
lief work.
