ONE MEAL PER DAY
GIVEN SUFFERERS
Arkansas Farmer Tells OF
Shivering Children and
Dying Live Stock.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MARVEL, Ark, January 2S.-One
meal day, consisting usually Of bread
and molasses and perhaps beans or
plain salt pork, is what the average
drought sufferers family gets out 81
what the Red Cross gives him.
But we're thankful to get that be-
cause 1t keeps us from starving" said
Jacob Miller, a colorsd tenant farmer
and lifelong resident of this COM
munity. About all 1t does is keep us
alive though"
Case Declared Typical.
Miller's case Is typical of that Of most
OF the tenant farmers of this and other
counties-whites and colored alike.
He has wife and two children and
has been receiving food from the Red
Cross for three weeks 1t amounts to
about SIS month.
We eat one meal a day." he said.
II we tried to get more than that out.
OF the food we g;t, 1t wouldn't last two
weeks"
The food is allotted every two weeks.
We don't get enough at the one
meal If ate all l wanted, there
wouldn't be any left for my family, so
lots of times 1 do without.
AAAC PCOPAC ONCl DDIH
and colored persons, have Just about
killed all their hogs that didn't di,. I
lost five hogs and was afraid to eat,
them. know of lots of others who
also lost their hogs. l don't know what
was the matter with them-I suppose
it was because they hadn't gotten the
right kind of fed.
Children Lack Clothes.
Now people are going to have % kill
their COWS, as poor as they are, to get
enough to eat"
Milleris children are not in school
because he said they did not have
clothes to keep them warm. Many others
are keeping their children out for the
same reason.
Like many of the oth:r tenant farm
ers Miller saved nothing from last
years crop. His cotton brought 10
cents pound and barely paid for the
picking. He could not pay for the food
furnished him on that crop. He bought
mule which he lost because he could
not pay for it.

PRACTICE
MUCH SELF-DEN|AL
DeIano in Radio Appeal for
Chest Tells of Generosity
in Departments.

Neutrality-suspicious. are ready and eager
to do their share, even though it fire.
quently means self-denial," Frederic A.
Delano. a team cap ain of the Special
Gifts Committee, declared last night in
an appeal TO. the Community Chest
over radio station WRC.
The speaker said some of his friends
in the Government service had COM
planned that certain divisional chiefs
were insisting upon contributions be-
yond the means of the workers.
Il have said to them" Mr.. Delano
declared, '.and l say to you over the
radio, that every thinking man and
woman must realize that what person
should give is a question which can
be decided only by the individual him
self
las some one has truly said, it is a
question between ones self and ones
conscience, or between ones self and
ones Maker. And yet 1t appears to me
not unfair to ask employees of the Gov
eminent who are getting full pay when
many people outside of Government
service are working on short time to
give up two to four days wages as their
annual contribution.
Generosity of Some.
Il know good many men outside of
Government service and working for
wages who are giving up as much as
one days wage a week, and some lines
even more, so that other men less for
craftsmen who are helping to support
the families of brother craftsmen.
Under such conditions as these is it
unfair to ask Government employees to
give. as I have suggested, two TO four
days wages? AND when it comes to
those well paid very much more than
that?
This Goes not mean that am
oblivious of special conditions which
may exist in special cases. know of
families where there has been a good
deal of sickness, hospital bills, children
to educate, older relatives to be sup
ported. etc. But even in those cases
the burden .of proof rests upon one who
refuses to help those less well off than
himself.
Strong Desire to Aid.
However, let me not give the i'm
preston that many of these in Govern
ment service are complaining of what
is asked CT them. The Overwhelming
majority are strong in their desire to
help the needy. They would resent it
if they were not permitted to do their
share.
1T has been we'll said that the Com
munity Chest is in the BIS, sense or
ganized good will-organiZed commu-
of the few to succor the many, it would
fail. Only because it is the united
effort of the many to succor those in
distress does it achieve success. II is,
as ere of our preachers has said, ap-
piled Christianity"

Prohibition Director Woodcock said
today new regulations probably would

ky regulations, announced that It had
adopted recommendation of the
Wickersham Law Enforcement Com
mission that physicians not be required
to enter upon prescriptions for whisky
the ailment for which 1t is prescribed
Doran said, however, the physicians
would be required to enter upon the
stub of their prescription books the
ailment, and the book containing the
stubs would be returned to prohibition
authorities.
Before the new rules governing the
allowance Of medicinal liquor to den-
lists can become effective they must
be signed by Attorney General Mitchell
and Secretary Mellon. Woodcock in
Dictated they had been approved, al
though not finally signed.
Under them dent SITS will be allowed
to draw six quarts of liquor for medici-
nal use annually besides two gallons
of liquor now allowed for Office use each

Washington has a big task before 1t
this year in raising a larger amount
than last year, but we all know that
the need for relief is much greater and
we ought to be able to increase our
number of subscriptions sufficiently to
again go over the top.
The experience of the past two years
should make our organization more
efficient and assure the solicitation of
every one who is able to help carry the
financial burden of our excellent charity

THE PASSING OF OLE EIELSON

(Contlnued froru paws rtne}
 the lack of coal bunkerS at which a ship could quickly and cheaply load any quantity of coal desired.
 But, my dear MT. Wadleigh, as we have watched your work here in our midst, quietly and efficient ly testing the coal, and surveying the possibilities of development, we have taken new heart and hope has sprung again into active force. We believe your report to Washington will be comprehensive and effect i've, and that any coal action will be based thereon and consequently we wish at this time to urge you to recommend the immediate con- struction of coal bunker wharf here.
 On asking the railroad managers for bunkers, in the past, we have always been met with the answer that whenever we could, show guaranteed tonnage the bunkers would be built" But that stand is directly contrary to good busi- ness practice; facilities come first and then the use of them enables a business to be built up, as all commercial history shows.
 We contend that if supply of different grades of coal is held here in bunkers, available day or night on half hours notice to any ship that wishes to load, coal business would be rapidly developed to tonnage wiping out the annual railroad deficit. q believe satis- factory business agreement with the mine operators could be made on a basis of consignment; they keeping the bins full and receiving payment as sold, the railroad to collect haulage from the sale also)
 At present, 1t takes much advance negotiation to get shipment of coal here in the cars, and then the crude expensive and slow method of loading, combine to prohibit the promotion of coal deals. Practi- cally all freight and passenger boats leaving here have unused cargo space throughout the return trip to Seattle. They would gladly take coal but for one vital draw back-the cost of holding the ship here during the slow loading would wipe out any possible profit, either to the boat or the shipper, and 50 l wish to stress the importance of speed in loading devices or types of bunkers, as this element Is all important in inducing ships to take on load of coal after they have discharged their cargo.
 If a small bunker wharf, with bins for the several grades of coal with gravity loading by chutes, was constructed immediately, I assure you the business men of this City would combine to induce every ship leaving port to take more or less coal south or west They would do this even to financing consignment shipments, knowing that once the ball was started rolling, it would soon obtain a momentum from successful business that would need no more nursing.
 Again urge the fastest handling device and type possible be install ed right at first, as the speed of loading will make or break the pro- motion of coal shipments by boat.
 Hoping that your work is coming to 8 successful conclusion, am, Yours sincerely, DON CARLOS BROWNELL, Mayor
