Key West has gardens as beau
thu anu as well kept as can be
found anywhere, is the joint
.oplmon o. the committee which
recently awarded the prizes in the
sbeautl. ii garden contest. Many
of these beautiful display are on
streets away from the bulk Of
the city's traffic and hence are
not known, 1t was shown. But if
the trouble is taken to visit the
different sections some beautiful
gardens and collections of rare
flowers are seen. The garden
which took first prize in the re-
cent contest should be advertised
as display which is distinctly in
"a class by itself. The committee
awarding the prizes in this CON
test was so intrigued with the
beauty and variety of its blooms,
that it will write a letter to the
owner and suggest that it be made
the subject OF an advertisement,
showing the beauties OF Key
West. esa

Need for Cash, Material anc
Volunteer Help Still Acute
Says DahIen

Bismarck's annual Open Your Heart
campaign was going full blast Wed.
nesday with members Of the American
Legion and other volunteers bringing
tn goods to the headquarters at 22c
Main Ave, and large number ot
applicants swarming In to seek help.
Appeal for help In collecting items
offered by citizens brought prompt
response when the Bridgeman-Russell
company donated the use Of man
and truck and members Of the Legion
sponsoring organization, gave the use
Of their time and automobiles.
The need for help In collecting items
still is acute. however. according to
Chairman q. A. Dahlen.
20 and 3 70 Help
Marked impetus was expected to be
given the charity effort tonight with
q meeting Of the 20 and 8, fun and
honor society Of the American Legion
which annually has given both time
and money.
Dahlen announced that next Sun
day will be Open Your Heart Sunday
In all Bismarck churches, letters hav-
ing been sent to all pastors asking for
their support.
The pastors are being asked to per-
form double -barreled service. Dah-
len suggested that they not only ask
their congregations to donate what
they can but that they cooperate by
furnishing to the organisations relief
committee the names Of persons and
families In need that we may be able
to remove that lump in the throat Of
the little boy or girl who otherwise
will not be remembered" Rev. F. E.
Logee is chairman Of the committee
for church cooperation.
As requests for help mounted, Dah-
len eyed the fast-dwindling mountain
Of material brought In earlier In the
week and renewed his request that
everybody give something"
Cash Needed Most
Cash Is most needed, he said, since
the number Of ll-clad children u
positively appalling" and investiga-
ton In the homes by special COM
mittee shows that the need In every
instance Is acute.
Some purchases already have been
made to meet special cases but the
bulk Of the relief effort awaits the ar
rival Of more cash.
I'VE can't spend the money until
We get It," Dal,len said. I'VE have
nothing but what the people give Us
and the custom has been to avoid
deficits. To date the response has
been normal and I know that Bis
marck will show the warmth Of it,
heart this year as 1t has In the past.

Bismarck's annual Open You
Heart campaign is ''the finest example
Of community effort this city has evel

Tuesday night In radio address ovel
KFYR.
Discussing the need for help, Gray
said this years toll in abject poverty
on the drouth-stricken prairies o.
North Dakota is pitiable. indeed, In
its inescapable and far-reachine
misery s. We have hundreds Of fam
lilies in Bismarck and rural Burleigh
county unable financially to supply
themselves with the bare necessities
of life, let alone the ordinary COM
forts.
Thousands of children underfed
insufficiently clothed, poorly housed
need the help we can furnish through
the Open Your Heart.
Hundreds OF grown-ups In these
families-out Of work-at best tenn
porarily employed-or too old or sich
to work, trying to hang on, to keer
body and soul together. Hoping
hoping that somehow something will
happen to give them chance to pro-
vide for themselves and families and
live like human beings.
Funds 'Pitifully inadequate"
"The official boards-state and
county-cannot take care Of the needs
Of these people. May say to you
that every penny available Is being
turned over to the welfare boards foI
relief-and 1t Is pitifully inadequate.
I'm more than half Of North Da-
kota we are facing the biggest crisis
and Job in taking care Of the needs
Of human relief that this state has
ever experienced and, as community
after community faces the challenge
Of this problem, the realization is
coming home to them that assistance.
In addition to that provided by regu-
larly established relief channels. Is
absolutely necessary to even mitigate
the widespread suffering and hard
ship this winter brings"
Gray asked his hearers to search
down in the basement, up In the
attic-through the whole house-for
the clothes you don't need and chill
drens playthings that have been out
grown or discarded, for shoes and
overshoes that are not too badly de-
The need for footwear
for school children Is enormous. We
need nom -perishable foods. And many
of us will find 1t possible to turn in
little money to help buy the many
things which must be purchased"
Face Holiday In Dread
Asserting that many Of the un-
fortunate watch the approach Of
Christmas with dread" Gray said
those who can give have an oppor-
tunity to make this real Christmas
for themselves, "for the Joy Of Christ
mas is in the giving, in softening the
tragedy Of want, in rekindling the
fires Of hope In the hearts Of men
and women and children who, through
no fault of their own, are being
between the upper and lower
millstones Of poverty. and despair.
May we add to our own happiness,
in what should be the happiest season
Of the year, by helping to make these
others happy-for verify I say unto

OUTLINE GOALS OF

Soil Conservation COMMITTEES
mon From 10 Slope Counties
Open Meeting Here

More than 200 soil conservation
committee members from 10 Missour
Slope counties convened In Bismarck
Wednesday to hear details Of the 1881
program explained by state leaders.
Counties represented at the meet
ings, which started ut 10 .. m, Wed

will continue through Thursday. are
Mercer, Sioux, Grant, Logan, Emmons
Kidder, Morton, Mcintosh. Oliver and
Burleigh.
Presiding Of the session Is A. g.
Marshall, Forbes, N. D., chairman Of
the state committee.
Pointing out that the 1888 program
sets up definite nationwide goals,
Marshall told the group Wednesday
morning that no fundamental change
from the 1885 and 1887 programs has
been made.
The 1898 program provides that q
single payment, representing the
amount that . farmer can earn, will
be calculated ct the start Of the year
to enable the farmer to know just
what he has to do to earn the pay
ment.
And, in general, all the farmer
will have to do to earn the AAA pay
ment will be to employ good farming
practices," Marshall asserted. Just
how good the farmers methods are
will be measured by establishing two
goals for each farm, he said.
"one Of these goals viii be for
soil-depleting crops, the other for
soil building crops. And the farmer
will be able to employ the same meth
DDS to reach the soil-building goal
= were listed In the 1887 program" !"
Marshall explained.
County conservation committees
will continue to administer the con-
servation program and be responsible
for It's effective application, Marshall
said.
Others who spoke were Dr.. J. 7. =.
