REFUGEE Meal
FOR AMERICANS
Whole Country Asked to Adopt
0rphanage Menu for Just
One Sunday Dinner.
RELIEF HAS SAVED MILLION
People of All Nations Will Figurative-
Iy Gather Around Same Table as
Practical Sign of Sympathy With
Near East Sufferers.

How many comfortably fed, clothed
and housed Americans will sit down
to Sunday dinner of rice, corn grits
and soup-typical orphan on
December 2, as practical test Of the
golden rule?
The question is asked today by
Charles V. Vickrey, general secretary
of Near East Relief, who is in charge
of the plans for the general observ-
ance throughout the United States OF
Golden Rule Sunday" in an inter
view, gNIr. Vickrey said:
IF American people will renounce
for one meal the food they are accus
toned to eat. and contribute the diff
ference in cost to the support of starv.
ing children in the near east, the stu.
alton in Greece, Armenia and Pales.
tine will become infinitely more real
to them.
81 have recently returned from sew.
eral months in those countries. Ameri.
ca is name to conjure with there.
nearly every other country, but none
against u.s. That is because people
realize that Americans have gone to
them with a helping hand and a
square deal, rather than with the
mailed fist.
America could well have afforded
to have spent every penny of her re.
lief funds as long sighted, cold-blood-
ed business proposition. The good
will that has resulted from relief
work in the near east is of incalcul-
able value. When these orphans we
are caring for today grow to man
hood, they will become the leaders OF
their nations and their eyes will turn
toward America.
Eat least million persons in the
near east would not be alive today had
it not been for American aid. Even
today, 100000 persons are being cared
for day to day by the Near East Re
lief, mostly women and children who
would probably perish in few days
or weeks if the work ceased.
"Our workers are now concentrate
ing not only on the physical care OF
our $4,000 orphans, but on their in
dustrial training as well. At the age
Of 16, when an orphan leaves our
care, he is equipped to enter some
useful trade or business. In Narazeth
there are boys working in our carpen-
ter shop few feet from the spot
where Christ toiled. In Macedonia,
hundreds of Greek orphans are learn
ing farming in the atmosphere where
Paul spent many years in establishing
the first European churches.
Five dollars month provides food
and physical necessities for an or.
phan, and 500 year provides for his
education as well. The observance
of Golden Rule Sunday by mil
lion American families will provide
enough funds for thousands of orphans
when people break bread together,
they become friends. On this Inter
national Golden Rule Sunday people
of all nations fguratively will gather
around the same table, partaking OF
the same food representing the menu
which the unfortunate children of the
near east hope by the benevolence OF
the West, to eat 365 days in the year.
But even this simple menu the or
phans cannot have unless the rest of
the world practices the Golden Rule. y

The above article from the Milwaukee Journal we
believed represents the feeling of large majority OF
Wisconsin residents and taxpayers regarding the PROPOSE
ton made by the Commissioner of Agriculture to turn
the management of the state fair over to Milwaukee
corporation.
The state fair is primarily intended for the benefit
of Wisconsin farmers and rightly handled means great
deal to them The state fair management years ago
decided to cater outside stock exhibits and racing cir
cults rather than the convenience of the farmers of the
state and since insisted holding the fair begin

N dams. The ac-
NJ 49, n tual meaning
o of the wore
has been interpreted in several
ways. Some say it means beau
tiful land," but the more likely
derivation is the Algonquin word
"ajawa" which means "across"
or beyond" This was probably
applied to this tribe of Indians
by the Illinois tribes who were
hostile to them, and resided Oh
the eastern side of the Missis-
sippi river. The early white Wis
itOrs to this region included Mar
quette and Joliet, who landed
here on their explorations of the
Mississippi in 1873.
The first settlement was made
by a French Canadian named
/: Julian Dubuque. He obtained
/: in 1888 a large grant of land
/: from the Indians, where the
(: city which was named after him

Young Calvin Coolidge,

This young Calvin Coolidge is lad
that appeals to us. His father has
just become president of the United
States and moved into one of the
incest places we have in the country.
Young Calvin had a job when his
father was called to Washington. He
didn't figure he'd better quit, right
in the middle of the summer, even
though the White House did look
mighty inviting. So he stuck on the
job and let father and mother go
on to Washington, about their own
business.
1--WE got a good job" young Cal
vim wrote the other day. sit pays So
day."
Instead of worrying about getting
into the White House, an honor that
few American lads ever get and for
which he could not be blamed for
looking forward to, Calvin Jr., has
the sort of stuff in him that makes
him proud of So day job and the
stamina to want to stick to it.
Wonder how many st. Peter boys,
if their father went to the White
House to live, would be ambitious
enough to want to stick on the job,
if they had one, back in Nicollet
county until school started.
Too bad there aren't more Ameri-
can boys that want to work during
the summer, even though they don't
have to. Young Calvin is good ex-
ample of the right kind of an Amer
lean young chap. st. Peter Free

Mr.. Coolidge as Seen
by a Friend.

l first met the president in 1915,
when he was president of the Mas
sachusetts senate. We were introduce
ed by mutual friend. Some time
later / sent a classmate of mine at
Amherst college to Mr.. Coolidge to
ask for his help in getting through
bill to make it possible to connect the
college power system with the AM
herst town system. Mr.. Coolidge
would promise nothing, and we felt
quite disappointed that an Amherst
man and a senator from a district
next to that in which Amherst is
should show so little interest. When
we went to have the bill taken up the
following year, we found it had been
passed and was law. Mr.. Coolidge
did it, We learned afterwards that
when we first asked his aid it was
too late in the session to obtain ac-
ton that year. What impressed me
was his refusal to promise, but his
readiness to act when the time came.
This made me curious, and | made
many inquiries about him and learned
all / could about his record. What
l learned convinced me that he was
even then one of the ablest men of our
generation. The thought came to me
not then, but when he was lieutenant
governor, that here was man with
all the qualities necessary to make
great president, and / cannot tell ex-
actly why or how the conviction came
to me that he would some day be pre-
sident
Mr.. Coolidge has a keen sense of
humor, but never allows it to injure
anybody, he is warm-hearted, but
makes no public display of it, he IS
courageous nobody can force his
hand, he cannot be budged by volume
of sound.
And, perhaps, most important of all,
there is underlying every thought AMI
action of his deep religious faith,
and the humility of one who realizes
there is a power greater than human
power.-Frank w. Stearns in Boston
