Thousands of square miles OF

At present these hundreds OF

President Coolidge has called
upon the people for ten million

Because Las Vegas has exceed
ed her quota is no reason for
ceasing the good work. To con-
tribute to the relief of such dis
tress is a privilege of which
every citizen is in duty bound to
avail himself. Those who are not
contributing through some organ
i2ation owe it to themselves and
to the nation to assume some
small share of the burden which
is put on the country There will
be none too much. The most the
nation can do will in only small
way relieve the suffering and
destitution which the Mississippi
Valley is suffering.
