*
Harding, Wilson and Taft Appeal
to Americans to Help Stricken
Millions of Sister Republic.
Tin* Prosldont and two ex-Pi-psklpnts
of tlie United Stutes have Joined, for
the first time In the history of the
‘country, In nn appeal for a philan
thropic enterprise. President Hnrd ng,
ex-Presldent Wilson and ex-President
Taft are ail In the forefront of the
movement to send aid from America to
llie famine victims of China.
One of Pros dent Harding’s first ofll-
Hal acts after Ids Inauguration, taken
when he had been In the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor In be
half of America’s sister republic In the
East. President Hard ng said In part:
“At this, the earliest practicable mo
ment in m.v administration, I desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been Issued heretofore in
behalf of I lie starving people of u large
sect on of China. * • •
“The picture of Chinn’s distress Is
so tragic that I am moved, therefore,
to renew the appeal heretofore made
and to-express the hope that the Amer
ican people will continue'to contribute
to this humanitarian eause as gener
ously ns they possibly can."
In nppo'ntlng the Amerlenn commit
tee for China Famine Fund, with Ids
own Immediate predecessor In the
White House, ex-Presldent Taft, as
one of the members, and Thomas W.
I-nmont of New York, ns chairman.
President Wilson said In Ills procla
mation : <
“Not only In the name of humatmy,
but In that of the friendliness which
we feel for a great people In distress,
I venture to ask that our clt'zens shall,
even though the tusk of giving Is not
today n light one, respond ns they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
help.”
LIFE SAVING STAMPS
HELP FAMINE VICTIMS
Each “Mercy” Slicker Purchased
for Three Cents Provides Food
for One Day for a Chinese.
Sales of “I,!fe Saving Stnmps" .by
the American Committee for Chinn
Famine Fund for the benefit of Chinn
famine v etims have reached a total of
thousands of dollars at ttie end of the
first month, and already the money Is
actually saving lives in China. Or
ders during the first month aggregated
more than 10,000,000 stnmps, which
will mean—at the rnte of 3 cents for
each stamp—$300,000 for the Chinese
when the complete returns have been
made. The stamps are Intended to se
cure a multitude of small contribu-
tb.ns from persons who will not have
nn opportunity to contribute In other
ways. T!:c uimpnfKlJ for China Is the
greatest single phl'antlirople effort
now before thp American people.

to find that work is appreciated and

Five years ago when clubs were on-
thirsiastic over the Dixie Highway,
and discussions abounded of how the
highway could bo beautiful, Mrs. Mob

Perkins roses in front of the Boy’s
Reformatory building Some hew,
without any care, many of these rose
vines Lave lived’ to brighten the road
s'|le every spring. Now Mrs. Munson
promises that the boys at the Refor
matory will train and care for these
roses in the future.
Mrs. Mob'ey is planning to replace
the missing vines, and soon a long
hedge of Dcrothy Perkins roses will
glorify this drive.
