CAMPAIGN FOR ARMENIAN SYR-
IAN RBIJEF BEGINS FEB. 3
C. E. Program.
Canadian County Divided Into Twelve
Districts. Yukon's Quota, $360.00.
The people of Canadian County are
BOO,, to be called upon to contribute to
a very worthy cause, the Armenian-
Syrian Relief, and there is no doubt
but that the call will find a ready res
ponse throughout the country. The,
history of these distressed peoples, and
their terrible sufferings through the
war at the hands of the Turks, is too
well known to require any mention.
This county is called upon to raise
$8,000.00 as its quota of the American
campaign for *30,000,000, of which the
Yukon District will be asked for $360.
A generous oversubscription is hoped
far and expected, and all who give may
do so with the assurance that every
dollar goes to actual relief, as all com-
mittees and members are personally
bearing the necessary expense attached
to the work. Below we publish a let-
ter from H. H. Donahue, Chairman of
tiie Canadian County Committee:
