THE FUND FOR FARM SUFFERERS
President HOOver's PrOcla= nation Answered By
 Large Donations
CLOTHING FOR CHILDREN

Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.-Im- mediately upon publication of Pres ident Hoover's proclamation late yes
 terday calling for $10,000,000 relief fund for drought sufferers two large contributions were received by the New York county chapter in New York city; $25,0OO from the New
 York Times and $5,000 from Mrs. F.. IT. Hartman, it was announced here to-day.
 Quantities of clothing including garments for the children who are being kept from school in the drou districts because of the lack of dresses, shoes, coats, etc., are be- ing shipped daily into the affected areas, the Red Cross announced. Many chapters in other areas have quantities of children's new cloth ing which they keep on hand for emergencies, and also 19 piece lay cites for newborn infants-and these thousands of garments. Red Cross chapters have called in women vol unteers to make others, and to re- condition donated garments for adults.
 One hundred pounds of yeast, to combat pellagra, was ordered ship ped to England, Ark, to-day by the Red Cross upon receipt of a tele- gram from Dr. William Dekleine, medical director of the Red Cross, wso is now in Arkansas. Added to the regular diet, yeast effectively counteracts the ravages of this dis ease as was proved in the Mississippi valley flood relief of 1927, when of pounds wree distribut- ed over a period of months.
 Responses of chapters continued encouraging through the day. John M. Groff, chairman of the Lancaster

UPHEAVALS IN VIENNA

At the weekly meeting of the Y Mems club held at the Central Y. M. c. A., Max k. Traurig was the speaker. Mir Traurig gave a re- sume of industrial conditions in Europe as he saw them. In speak ing of Vienna. Mir Traurig made the statement that had he known of the terrible conditions there, he would never had extended his trip in that direction. He went on to say that he had been led to believe that Vi- enna was the Paris" of Austria and that life there was all pleasure and gayety. His surprise was corres- pondingly great. then, when he ar rived and found Vienna in one of the worst social upheavals ever known. According to MT Traurig 1t would take a spark only to set off a tremendous uprising. Castles of the nobility are now in the hands of proletariat and as a result are being squandered. In some cases they have been turned into public dance halls. Economic conditions in European countries as depicted by Mir Traurig are in far worse state than American can imagine.
 Stanley V. Volovski, president of the club introduced last nights speaker and conducted a short Dusi- ness meeting which dealt mainly with the preparation for the coming state convention, January 17th and 18th. MT Volovski is to be chair man of one of the discussions of the convention while Earl Samson. the past president of the Y Mems club will lead off the discussion on Y Mems clubs

Food does not nourish when it is not properly digested. That's why people who suffer from gas on stomach and bowels, belching, nausea, headaches, dizziness, etc., due to indigestion, often find themselves underweight, weak, with little energy and vitality.
 All this is quickly changed when you start using the simple discovery known as Pape's Diapepsin. When people experience for themselves the amazing results of using these tasty little tablets, they invariably feel compelled to tell others.
 Mrs. Amber Ross, 40 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY, says: I suf- fered for many months with indiges- tion, nervousness and headaches, trying all the time to get relief by dieting and medicines.
 "Then learned about Pape's Diapepsin and began on it. It has been a wonderful help to me. eat onions now without bad after-effects. How they used to make me suffer!
 Friends that I have told about Diapepsin have been helped in the same way. I have gained ten pounds since starting on it."

 Match play progressive bridge de rives it's name from match play i, goII. Although the total scores ar, Kept for each hand at the comple ton or each round, the scores ar, used only to determine winners O mat round and are not carried ovel rom that round to the next.
 Talrs are made up by mutua agreement Two pairs are assjgnee 10 each table but no tallies are dis trlbuted. The hostess, or one ir charge, shall place a small Ameri can nag at each table. Four deal. constitute round. If a. deal i, passed out the deal passes to the lief, and the scorer shall give zero tc each side on the score pad for that deal.
 At the end of each round, the scores for both sides are totaled at each table and the smaller score sub tracted from the larger. The pair with the net plus score wins the lit- tie American flag at their table and sha!l De entitled to progress one table toward the head table. The losers at the head table go to the lastp or bottom, table. Players do not change partners. but retain the same partner throughout the even- Ing play. Upon arriving at the new table the four players shall cut for deal
 The hostess shall then distribute another flag at each table, and an- other round is played, the winners again winning the flag at their ta ble and progressing. Some six to eight rounds may be played in an evening. Tho pair having won the largest number of flags at the end of the evening are declared the winners. If two or more pairs have the same number of flags, these pairs then play off to see who shall be declared the winner.
 It must be remembered that after the score is figured up at the end of each round to determine the win ner of the flag, the score is then for gotten and is not carried over from one round to the next. It is simply question of how many pairs you can defeat in one evening.
 This system is also adaptable to clubs who desire to run series of games. Simply carry over each even- ing record of the number of flags, or the number of pairs. that each player has won or defeated. Players should change partners each even ing. therefore at the end of a series of three to five games. the one play CT having won the greatest number of fags-or defeated the greatest number of pairs-would be declared the winner of the series.

WELFARE WORK
PROGRAM GIVEN
AT LIONS CLUB

Welfare work was the theme OF

Lions club yesterday at the meet

local community relief committee
who has recently been appointed
county chairman of President Hooy-

relief, discussed the plans to be CAL
ried out locally.

with that in the 10 southern coun-

Wrap up your American cheese and
III take it to the bear. Maybe it
will please him."
Don't be silly!" growled the dog.
Il know that bear"
However, he wrapped up large
slice of American cheese, with only
little pin holes in it instead of big
holes like those in a lace curtain.
which is what Swiss cheese has.
Tucking the American cheese under
his paw, Uncle Wiggily started to
hop back to where he had fallen on
the Cross Bears feather bed.
Now on the way back, Uncle Wig
gily felt sleepy. And, though he was
worried about what happened to Mr..
Twistytail in the airship the rab-
bit gentleman needed sleep, so he
stretched out on a bed of moss in
the woods TO get some rest. He put
the piece of American cheese on the
moss beside him.
Who knows" murmured Uncle
Wiggily, but what this American
cheese with little wee holes in wants
some sleep?" So the rabbit went to
sleep and maybe the cheese went
to sleep. Who knows? Anyhow, all
of a sudden along came flying a
woodpecker bird. A woodpecker
bird has a strong, sharp beak, for
this bird must drill holes in trees to
get at the bugs, worms and insects
under the bark. Thus the wood
pecker gets his dinner. Now this
woodpecker bird, seeing Uncle Wig
gily asleep and the piece of cheese
beside him, chirped to himself and
said:
Il will eat some cheese while the
rabbit sleeps" With his strong bill
the woodpecker bird picked many
holes in the American cheese SO that
it looked like a piece of Swiss
cheese. The woodpecker bird ate
the bits of cheese he took out of
the holes. At last Uncle Wiggily
awoke and the bird, seeing him
stirring, flew away.
II will take this cheese to the
Cross Bear" said the rabbit, not
noticing how funny 1t was, full now
of big holes instead of little holes.
In fact, it looked like Swiss cheese
instead of American.
Hopping back to the den of the
Cross Bear Uncle Wiggily said:
Here I am but I'm sorry to say
I had to get American cheese in
stead of Swiss. It's rather funny"
The bear stretched out his paw for
the cheese and all at once he loudly
howled. And why he howled I shall
tell you tomorrow night. Then the
story will be about Uncle Wiggilys
sand pile. And I hope the choco-
late cake will not jump into the
powdered sugar to make itself look
like a marshmalloW candy.
