Currier, Towa’ City 10.00 $816.55 The cold of winter is about to be added to the other causes of suffering of the women, children and aged per- sons made homeless and destitute by the war in Europe. Scattered throughout France are these dazed and helpless thousands from the fighting zone in the North, the ast and Belgium. The French Government is accord- ing-some measure of relief to the families of its own soldiers. Lire’s appeal is for those others who have no claim except their dire need, their suffering and their utter help- lessness, All America wants to help, and there is no limit to the aid that is needed in this greatest of the world’s catastrophes. Already almost three thousand francs have been forwarded from Lirr’s readers. Next week we hope to record another transfer of even a larger amount. No one need fear that the assistance will come too late. The distress is not of to-day or to-morrow only, but for a long time to come. Warm clothing for children, women, and even for men, is sadly needed. This may be sent to the Committee of the American Chamber of Commerce in Paris, Dock of the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique, New York City The company will forward these donations free of charge. H There appears to be no limit to feminine de- ception. Su What now? He: It has just been discovered that the president of the National Mothers’ Club is married and has children, AY! YOU WANT TO BEAT IT. WHAT ARE YE DOIN’ ANYWAY?" IN HERE, FOR MY CHANGE Short Measure Theodore Roosevelt's scrupulous care never to criti- cize unjustly, always to give praise where praise is due, never to vilify a political opponent who has done honorable and courageous public service, is by this time well known and is one of the reasons why he himself is enshrined in the hearts of those who have studied him closely, as a knightly figure, above re- proach.—Springfield Republican. HIS is great praise, but is it sufficient? Is not our esteemed contemporary itself guilty of an injustice in that it has fallen short in its estimate in important particulars? Can any estimate of the Colonel be complete that does not take into account this “ scrupulous care” not only never to criticize unjustly, but to get the facts exactly straight, never to repeat himself and never to make any statement which afterwards needs correction? The Principles of Finance IMPLETON: ‘What, Bobby! you paid twenty-five cents for that top? a great deal more than it’s worth. Bonnie: But you don’t understand these things, father. T’macquiring a monopoly of all the tops in the neighbor- hood, and, of course, I'm paying several times more than Do you mean to say Why, it's they are worth.
