HAMILTON DRIVE
For Relief of Starving Chill.
dren in Germany Starts
Monday

Plans for the drive in Hamilton for
the relief for the starving children
in Germany are all complete. The
drive starts Monday morning and will
continue throughout the week 1t is
hoped to obtain 100000 in Ohio for
the cause. Hamilton's quota of this
sum is $4,000, which sum it is hoped
by the committee in charge and all
interested will be largely exceeded
Judge Clarence Murphy is chairman
of the committee in charge which is
doing all in it's power to make the
drive a big success.
All the ministers and priests will
make announcements of the drive
from the pulpits in the various
churches of the city The children OF
all the schools will carry the wore
to their homes. All the various or
ganizations of the city have been re.
quested to help and are responding
nobly. The moving picture theatres
have offered their aid in running
slides. Everyone seems more thar
anxious to aid in this humanitarian
movement.
There will be no organized solici-
tations. Everyone is asked to make
voluntary subscriptions. The banks
and other places, to be named by the
committee, will receive subscriptions
Many letters with subscriptions are
already being received by the commit
tee. The committee feels much graft
fed at the feeling displayed in this
most worthy cause by the Hamilton
people.
Give-as you did during the war
until it hurts. Out of your plenty
give little to some of the starving
little tots in Germany--millions OF
whom go to school mornings without
breakfast.

Charleston, w. Va.-Defenders of
anti-unionism who sing of the pros
perity of unorganized workers in this
state, are shocked by an appeal by
the superintendent of the Union mis-
sion in this city. He says that the
need for aid "is greater than at any
time in LIZ years. and that many
little children are going hungry with
only one meal a day."
While this situation exists in Char

tending their starvation area by war

In Fayetteville the coal barons

trial of Krank Keeney, president of

has shown that Keeney pleaded with
the miners to abandon their march

agents of the Logan county coal own
ers are combing that section for men
who will swear that Keeney encour-

Testimony quotations, as reported,
disclosed by the Logan agents, range
from $50 to $4,000, payment to be
made when the witness leaves the

When you have guests, You should
to some extent consult their wishes
