Five Minute Chats on Our Presidents

By JAMES MORGAN

(CopyrWfct, im. by Jum Mor*an.) PEN OF THE REVOLUTION

-1743—April 13, born at Shadwell, Va. ’ ! ; > 1787—Admitted to the bar. 1789-74—Member ass House of Burgee—s. 1774-78—Member es congress. 1778-7*—Member Virginia assembly. * 1779-81 —Governor. 1783- Member of congress. 1784- —Minister to France. 179*93—Secretary of state.

THOMAS JEFFERSON as much as Abraham Lincoln, Was nursed at the breast * Of tbe unexhausted West At the time of his birth beneath one ot its' foothills the Bine Ridge es Virginia was the American frontier. The farm on which be was born had been cleared In the wild forest by his pioneer father when the smoke of a neighbor’s chimney hardly could be seen fro** his cabin door. When he rode east, with his darling fiddle nnder his am, to be a student at William and Mary college, the tall, slender, sandy-haired, snnb-nosed, freckled-faced seventeen-year-old boy of the frontiersman never had seen a mansion, a church or a village of twenty houses, and he looked with a stranger’*', eyes upon the baronial

In seven years at .the bar he doubled his estate and increased his slaves to 400. Buying the little mountain at whose feet he wad born, he built upon its summit from plads of his own drawing, with bricks of hip own making- and with wood of his own cutting, the noblest house In all Virginia. There at Monticello he made his home ever after.' Jefferson’s law practice continued rapidly to grow until it amounted to $2,500 a year, when he abandoned it forever to prosecute George'm in the great and general court of mankind. He had heard the first call of the’ Revolution while a law student In Williamsburg. «Jts clarion hqd been ringing In Bis ears ever since he stood, an eager looker-on, In the door of tfie house of burgesses. He saw Washington In his seat and he saw his own friend, Patrick Henry, a fiddling Virginian like himself, holding the floor amid cries of treason as he invited the king to profit by the example of sar, who had his Brutus, and Chariest, L who bad his Cromwell. The sword, the tongue and the pen of American freedom were well met that memorable day. After the pen had waited twelve years for Its turn to speak Jefferson sat In the congress at Philadelphia. The squire of Monticello was a silent member, as silent as the squire of Mount Vernon. Opportunity aqd duty went straight to those two speechless congressmen as the needle leaps to a loadstone. After serving as governor of Virginia and member of congress Jefferson was Sent as minister to the court of France. “Yon replace Doctor Franklin” the Count Vergennes said to him on his arrival In Pails. . *T him," the new envoy happily replied; “no one can replace Doctor Franklin." 81x weeks and a day after he had seen that old France of the Bourbons crash beneath the walls of the Bastille to face across me cabinet table with - By nature and training the two were as opposite In their political opinions as in their chalra and teey found

SHALL IT BE LIFE OR DEATH

WILL YOU FEAST WHILE THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN STARVE? ’ An appalling emergency exists in Eastern and Central Europe. The hope that widely planted crops would yield an adequate harvest has not been realized. Hunger, privation, suffering and death still .march unchecked. Economically and politically, the ruined world must wait, but there is one cry that cannot be hushed, and there is one challenge that cannot be disregarded. A minimum of three and onehalf million children are face to face with disease and starvation, Unless aid is rendered at once, avast, unspeakable tragedy will folThings That Must Be Dons. It is merely proposed that as many as poteible be saved from actual starvafipn by receiving one meal a day,; and this to those only whose needris most imperative. . In many * parts of that desolated world one meal a day is all that stgnd* between these children and death. Just as soon as these children have reached a grade of improvement, they must step aside to make way for those mote miserable than themselves. Undernourishment produces diseases particularly its own. Starved and puny bodies make quick fuel for diseas#. Tuberculosis and typhus merely touch them and they are gone. ! Hundreds of thousands of children in Europe, have never tasted milk in tlßir lives. Mothers unnourished find ill-provided bring into the Wlrld babies doomed before they see the tight of day. Medical iid must be furnished, together with clothjng and food, if there is to be a tomorrow to _ follow the horror and the desolation of today. Hew It la .To Be Don*. * It will require *33,000,000 to carry this project of child-saing through until the next European harvest. Of this, $23,000,000 must’ be provided for faedingy children, and *10,000,000 for. medical service and aid. These amounts will only relieve the critical .cases. The distribotion of these funds will be under the direction es the European Relief Counril—made up of the co-operating organizations set forth on Page One, which have banded themselves together to meet the responsibility on behalf of the American people. This mass childfeeding work will be carried on in the future as in the past, largely through the agency of the people of the country where aid is rendered.

The American personnel of -the American Relief Administration in Erope consists of not more than fifty representatives, but associated with them are more than 100,000 field workers who dp the work, gather the children, establish the feeding-stations, and through their own efforts and organizations furnish two units of help to everyone provided by American aid. For every dollar raised in America, two dollars will be furnished in transportation, local food supplies and labor by the Government and local communities of the country receiving, aid. Thus it is that the American dollar, plus the two native dollars, will give a child one nourishing meal s day for a month. Mediqal aid, medical supplies and material must, of course, be an unqualified gift, for these are the things absolutely lacking. $33,000,000 is necessary at once or America must desert these helpless children in the very heart of winter. .. He Give* Twice Who Give* Quickly. Make checks to Judson J. Hunt, Treasurer, Rensselaer, Ind. ' SIO.OO will save the life of a child until the next harvest.

BRIEF BANQUET BITS FOR BUSY BUGS

.Great flocks of fans are prancing up to the gypping post these days while the two * dollar extraction process is rehearsed. / o—o Promoter Thompson has a bevy of ticket salesmen out today* thus permitting the gulible public to play Santa Claus to itself. o—o Moses Leopold, who has a place on the wind special, has his masterpiece in readiness. The announcement that he was to speak brought a deluge of criticism from those who are to sit at the festive board, and the suggestion that he use his watch on himself with the seine alacrity as he did when he announced the close of the Morocco game has been made. Mr. Leopold is the first, .on the Mate and those who wish to miss his part of. the performance may do so by passing up the first act of eats, which will not be as great a hardship as listening to his chatter. O' '0 C. Arthur Tuteur has already arrived for the fracas and will be among the nonentities present. l%e Indianapolis panhandler hasn't been placed on the Mil but has volunteered his services to the principal barker. Q Q Fish and soup outfits will be worn by those who have them; others will wear their frayed frocks, o—o Feed bags will also be worn o—o The Morocco team and fans have declined A. M. Robertson’s invitation to banquet with the local team next month. They aren’t able to eat as yet, except through a straw; the fans haven’t the price of tranaportation; and besides who wants to be a pallbearer at his ownfuneav alt o—o A firee banquet, however, would provide them with the opportunity of recouping a part of their lost fortune. ■- o—o Rensselaer fandom brought home everything but the sign on the Morocco depot, passing that up that the identification of the village might not be completely lost. o—o ■ Between the third and ftrarth innings the audience will arise and stand in mute tribute to the departed Morocco brethren while WilUain Traub softly mumbles the Yiddisha wail. o—o The banquet comes at an opportune moment for the boys who consigned' themselves to the one-arm sudden lunch rooms for the rest of the year through having donated a three-months salary gift to their twentieth century model flapper. And the installment man ain’t hiding behind a set of shredded biscuit whiskers either. ‘ o—o We’ll see you there.

FOOTBALL FANS LOOKING FORWARD TO BANQUET

Practically all arrangements for the football banquet to be given, in laer’s winning eleven at the Utarnos restaurant at eight-thirty o’clock Thursday evening have been com-, pletedTand it is probable that every single ticket will be disposed of, which means that about one bun* dred and twenty will be sitting the festive board when the toastmaster, the Hon. E. P. Honan, introduces the first speaker of the evening. - « Finnan Thompson, who is in charge of the affair, states that there are still several tickets to be disposed of, but is confident tha t all will he sold, attributing the atom sale -not to the lack of entbutoam on the part of tha sane, but to their negligence of not buying early. No charge will be made to the fathers of the team members, the players and others who wwe doidy associated with the team thruiMhout the season. The latter two groups include the following: Cant.
