RUSSIAN FAMINE
RELIEF ORGANIZATION

]. f. Mermoud of Monett, has been
appointed Chairman of the Russian
Famine Relief organization for Barry
| county. The purpose of this move
ment is to raise 10000 barrels OF
flour, Tor it's equivalent in money at
SIS a barrel) in the State of Missouri
! for the immediate relief of Russian
/ Famine Sufferers. The quota for
Barry County is SO barrels or $4lO.
1t will be Missouri flour, bought In
this state through the state organic
alton, of which Bishop William a.
Quayle of st. Louis is Chairman, and
shipped by fast steamer, where it will
be distributed by the American
Friends Service Committee, who have
engaged in the work of European re-
lief for several years.
Information received by the state
organization, at its headquarters,
215 Merchants Exchange Building, st.
Louis, are that conditions in Russia
are rapidly becoming worse. Unless
relief comes soon 15,000,000 people IN
the Volga valley alone will die. Most
of these are, of course women and
children. The $20,000,000 appropr-
ated by Congress for the relief OF
these people mas been exhausted.
Secretary Herbert Hoover and the
American Relief Commission have
fully indorsed this the American
Friends Relief Organization and urge
the people of this country who desire
to contribute to Russian relief to do
so through this organization.
Mr.. Memoud has named and ap-
pointed ministers of all denominations
in this County as members OF the
soliciting committee, also superintens
dents of schools. Mr.. o. H. Hudson
of Monett is treasurer of the organiz-
alton.
The people of Barry County have
always been generous and liberal in
answering an appeal when oppor-
tunity is presented to relieve suffer-
! ing humanity. True, we are going
through a business depression, but
what is it compared to actual and
wholesale starvation? We are not
stalking human corpses on the fields
of this country. Our children are not
I 4pelishing by sshe million, and those
children, VINO are dying in agony from
the eating of grass bread, but for the
grace of God, might be yours. The
amount we will give to this worthy
cause will determine the limit of
death.
