LONDON. Feb. 1a.-To come back
20 the lands OF plenty after being

The American people have been
generous and prompt in aiding the

when YOU enter the famine lands Of
Russia YOU enter the lands Of ter

times they were found in novels
where ever one in the family had

The poor people can't help being
dirty. They have no soap. no dis

famine together are prolific breeders
OF plaques.

Millions have died because my ap-
peal fell on deaf ears.
The chances OF helping the sur

The Voisa and other liver ways are
now frozen. The Russian railways

But i'm spite Of these handicaps we
can do much If we do it promptly
We must send grain 10 keep the
people alive and we must send seed,
tractors and tools so that the sur
vivors may do their sowing in the

Unless we do this. the great gran

recover. Russia cannot export food.
Russia cannot become a market for

FULLER'S ORCHESTRA
MAKES nc HIT

To those who were so fortunate as
to attend the Earl Fuller concerts at
the Casino theatre yesterday, Fuller's
orchestra proved a revelation.
The music played was all catchy,
'uneful and full of harmony, and so
many people have expressed them
selves as being highly pleased, and
admitted it was far better than they
anticipated.
"Sousa' may have a famous band.
but those who heard Fullers orches-
ira yesterday can truthfully say Full
lers Orchestra" is equally as famous
in his line of work.

again today and tomorrow.
