S. campaign for the week ending November 30th. We had a per capita for that week of T4c. or a total of $19.19 for the year. We need 8lc. per capita, or approximately $36,500.00 in order that we may reach our quota of $876,200.00. In a report sent out by the national W. S. S. committee for the week end- ing November 23rd, the following ap- pears: «War savers in Centre county last week bought an average of $1.28 in W. S. S. for each inhabitant. This fine performance brought up to $18.45 the per capita since the campaign be- gan last December. It is felt at head- quarters in this city that Centre will go “over the top” before the end of the year and place herself in the class of patriotic communities that have heeded the appeal of the President that a per capita of $20.00 be achiev- ed for each inhabitant of the United States, or two billions in all.” In a similar report from the same source for the week ending November 30th, we find: «Fulton and Centre counties are running a close race for the honor of being the next county in the district to go “over the top.” Last week Cen- tre’s per capita sales were 74 cents, bringing her average for each inhab- itant up to $19.19. Fulton’s grand total is $19.31 for each inhabitant, the per capita sales last week being 30 cents.” Let Centre county be the third to go “over the top.” It can be done. Let every man, woman and child in the county during the present week purchase the largest possible num- ber of W. S. S. and make it certain that the county will go “over the top” during the week. Make an investment worth while. Buy W. S. S. WwW.

In the reconstruction time much money will be needed for Armenian and Syrian relief, a brave little na- tion, absolutely homeless and without resources for self reconstruction, if it is to be restored to its place. The following is a clipping from the lat- est reports of their condition: Mrs. Stead, of Kermanshah, writes: «Mr. Stead is still in Kerind. There has been_absolute starvation there and children have come who look like the famine victims in India in the Mis- sionary papers. The villages in that region have been utterly destroyed by the various armies passing through; so that the people are not only hungry but without shelter also. 1 suppose the need is as great in oth- er parts, as the British officers and men that are here now say that they have never seen anything like the ter- rible condition along this road.” Mrs. Stead, speaking of another lot of orphans, says: “There is another squad coming along soon and for them I have to buy clothes. They haven’t a scrap of clothes that can be ut back on them, when they get their rst bath. A bunch of rags around thin hips, and a piece of gunny sack over thin shoulders or heads is all they have.” Mrs, Stead writes again: “The distress is terrible. People are eating dirt. Dead of starvation are carried into the street and left until some one gives money to bury them.” I shall send money to New York December 15th, and anyone wishing to contribute this month will kindly send it to me by that time.
