In addition to the large Number Of

year note due February %. donated by
Mrs. G. l.. Stillman, 800 Woodward
avenue, Louisville, Ky.
In connection with tho work done
through the churches and Sunday
schools, Dr. Sheats. state superinten-
dent OF public instruction, has APP
pealed through personal letter adj
dressed TO every school teacher in the
state OF Florida to take up a collection
for Armenian relief on the 10th of
February.
1t is not the point TO ask every con-
tributor to give until it hurts. because
this Is not necessary. Those OF us who
are willing t. save the life of one poor
destitute starving waif can do so by
denying himself one cigar per week
The wonderful executive efficiency of
the men who control Near East oper-I
ations is most remarkable, when 1t is
considered that only 1856 per cent of
the actual amount collected is used for
salaries and administrative purposes,
leavin 1854 per cent of every dollar
collected actually going to Armenia.
Near East Relief is providing for
over one hundred thousand destitute
orphans and feeding them at table.
