NATION SAVED

CLEVELAND H. DODGE
New York Business Man De-
scribes Vast Armenian Work

si
Cleveland H. Dodge, New York bank-
er and business .man, director of the
National City Bank, and treasurer of
The Itussell Sage Foundation and of
the Near East Relief, declares that
nation has been saved by American
philanthropy, and the generosity of the
American people through the .Near
East Relief, in Its work for the Ar-
menians. r I '
"The lowest official estimate Indi-
cates that one million persons are liv-
ing today who would not be aBve had
it not been for this relief." Mr. Dodge
continued; "I have an autograph letter
from Dr. H. Ohandjanian, president of
the Armenian Republic, in which he
writes: 'America literally saved us
from starvation.'
"Wholly aside from adults who l^ave
been saved from starvation, we today

der our care 110,000 homeless, father-
less or motherless children who are
absolutely dependent upon as. This Is
exclusive of 63 hospitals with. 6,552
beds, 12S clinics, rescue homes for
girls and unnumbered thousands of
refugees who are being helped through
our industrial relief and in other ways.
"The N^ar Ipast Relief has during
the ;>ast four or five years commission-.
ed and sent to the Near East more
than 1,000 American relief workers, of
whom 500 are still in the field, all of
them working at great financial sacri-
fice—the standard of salary being $50
per month and maintenance—and
many of them facing great personal
danger and hardship Jn the perform-
ance of their life-saving servifc^. A
score of them have diea from typhus
or other diseases moft or less related
to their faithfulness In the perform-
ance of relief service.
"Nor is that all. We have raised
and disbursed during war times and
In a war-torn area, in large measure
under enemy control, more than $41,-
000,000 in cash, and, including flour,
Red Cross and other supplies admin-
istered by our agents, a total of cash
and supplies in excess of $50,000,000.
The official reports show that on June
30, 1920, we had In orphanages 54,000
children, and that we are partially
supporting outside of the orphanages
56,039 children, making a total of 110,-
000 boys fend girls now under the care
of the Near East Relief."
Mr. Dodge considers the work of the
Near East Relief one of the most
stupendous undertakings of disinter-
ested philanthropy the world has ever
seen.
"In countries whose population to-
tals more than 30,000,000 souls, Ameri-
can Idealism exemplified by the work
of the Near East Relief constitutes
today a torch of enlightenment and r.n
influence for peace throughout the
whole Near East," he maintains. "Our
American ideal of liberty, industry and
helpfulness has brought us as a people
happiness, prosperity and fulfillment.
Out of the fullness of, this heritage
we are furnishing a faithful and un-
daunted Christian people the brotherly
aid which will enable them to reach
the same fulfillment that God has
given us.
"It is ari achievement of which every
American may well be proud."

Were I a cartoonist I would
draw a pen picture of a man (or
a lot of men) sitting on that part
of their anatomy located on the
side bended outward, about half
way between the head and the
feet, and show him thus seated
in the middleof a big mud pud-
dle. And if you'd ask me what
I'd name that little picture, I
believe I would merely captain it
"Where Schulenburg will be
next year."
IA o.ther words we're goii\g to
be sitting right in the middle of
a mud hole, surrounded on all
sides by towns having good
roads and highways leading
thereto.
Weimar and Columbus now
have gravel running through.
La Grange roads, much better
than ours are receiving atten-
tion, and a new bridge soon to
be built across the Colorado
River, coupled with an improved
road is going to link the county
seat up with the Ammannsville
territory, now largely supplied
from Schulenburg, and the loss
of this trade is going to be felt.
A good road starting about
three miles west will lead
directly to Flatonia. And Hal-
lettsville is getting ready to
build through right up to our
very door (figuratively) with a
good road.
The only consoling feature
about the whole thing is that
while few people will soon be
able to get into town, on the
other hand, he will indeed, be a
rare bird who will attempt our
roads getting out.

Senator I. E. Clark was home
from Austin over Saturday and

is now in session. The daily
press as well as the official Legis-

Clark is fully and capably rep-

state, in accord with views of
the voters of this section.
500 Party
Mrs. R. Nortlhausen enter-
tained a few friends Tuesday
afternoon with a 500 party, two
tables of players participating in
the game.
A color scheme of pink and
blue was featured in the access-
ories for the game and in the
home decoration.
Narcissis in crystal baskets
placed in vantage points in the
room added to the charm.
For high score M rs. A. Kehrer
received a silken novelty, Miss
Edna Schaefer a dainty piece of
lingerie in pink for consolation
and Miss Minnie Schwenke a
vanity bow for booby.
A salad course with cakes and
sandwiches was served.

She was nearing her 57th

In addition to several daughters

sufferers realize this?
Most of them continually dose them-
selves with so-called laxative pills,
calomel, oil, purges and cathar-
tics and force bowel action. To
do that Is a mistake. It weak-
ens the bowels and liver and
makes constant dosing neces-
sary. %
Why don't you begin" right to-
day to ^overcome your constipation
and get your system in such shap*
that constant drugging will be un-
necessary? You can do so if you get
a 25c box of Nature's Remedy (NB

a week or so.
