FIGHTS HOARDERS AND HEPS POOR EUGENE McCORD UNDERTAKES TO CARE FOR POOR.?GETS CHICKENS , FOR WARDLAW STREET AND POOR MAN'S FRIEND, AND SELLS THEM AT LIVING PRICES?FORSAKEN BY FRIENDS HE GOES TO RE CUPERATE IN OUT-DOOR GAMP < Eugene McCord, colored,-is nothing if not an enemy of the hoarders>v of fowl meat. He does not believe in high priced'chickens. Then again Eu gene is a friend of the poor. He knows that the people around on Wardlaw street are nol able to buy hens at $1.50 each, so .early this year he made up his mind to supply them with the white meat of the finest chickens which grow at forty and forty-five Cents each, whichever a mount was''most convenient for them to pay. If niey couldn't make change he made three for' one-twenty-five. Not everybody will understand holv Eugene could "turn this trick, but it was easy enough for Eugene, who is a bible student. He had been reading about the young man being command ed to sell all that he had and give it to the poor. He also read that you should^give full measure, heaped up and running over. He took an in ventory of North Main street and he found that some of the miserly in clined on that street instead of selling * i-- it-- I ana giving 10 me poor, were eating all the fat hens and "fries," them selves. He was unwilling that these people should continue to be disobe dient any longer, so he appointed himself to do the selling for them, and he gave full measure by selling the hens ctt?ap. Accounting himself one of the poor he gave the change to himself. 1 ^nowing that there were several handsome and worthy widows as well as other good people on Wardlaw street, he ' "kinder appinted hisself gardeen" for all these in the matter of supplying chickens. Lately he found, however, that Col E. R l^om son, Dr. J. R. Nickles and Dr. James Austin, were raising fine chickens faster than, he could dispose of them on Wardlaw Street. He began then to look around for other poor people in the city, and the only other person whom he could discover and whom Eugene says, he felt he ought tc help was Corp. Kerr, of Greenville street. Not that he thought the Corp. was poor, he said, because Eugenf knew he was not, but he said that the Corp. was "The Poor Man's Friend' as he could easily prove by Furniture Dealer Link, who is now selling a dollar's worth of furniture for sev enty-five cents, being a friend of the poor himself somewhat. So Eugene let. the Corp. have two fine fat hens at forty-five each. This plan of fighting the hoarders and being a friend of thq needy work ed fine until Col. Thomson and Dr. Nickles and the rest began to take stock of their chickens after cottor. went(down, and -foundxthat some of the chickens must have flown away. Hearing of fine chickens^eing sold on Wardlaw street, these hoarders of fine fowls on North Main began an investigation, and it was not hard for them to identify some of the cheap fowls which they discovered in Ward law Street barnyard. Of course, Wardlaw street people returned all the chickens they had on hands, and were glad ti> do so. Corp- Kerr, however, had his mind on that ninety cents he had reluctant ly parted witty* and as soon as he heard the ]North Main crowd were go ing around identifying chickens, he gave orders to have his two hens bak ed for dinner. He then went down and had t)r. pickles to fix up his teeth on a credit and hurried home and ate both hens at one meal. That is the reason he could not eat anypnow at Jim McMillan's party, and the rea son why he coulfiK not drink anything at all, not even a little water. The two hens which the Corp. ate had been sold for Dr. Niclcles by Eugene. Eugene has been so overworked that he has decided to take a little rest so he has gone out to Supervi sor Stevenson's camp and will spend awhile with the boy3 out there. As soon as he feels able he will return to town and commence operations again. He hopes nobody will suffer I while he is away. Legal Blanks for Sale -Sere.? The Press and# Banner Company. WILSON PROFFERS HIS MEDIATION (Continued from Page 1) league to arrive at an understanding with the governments with a view to ; intrusting a power with the task of ' itaking th'e necessary measures to t stop the hostilities in Armenia, i "You offered to the United States .the opportunity of undertaking the humanitarian task of using its good offices to end the present tragedy ibeing enacted in Armenia, and you assure me thait your proposal in volves a repitition of the invitation to accept a mandate for Armenia. "While the invitaiton to accept the mandate for Armenia has been rejected by the senate of the United States, this country lias repeatedly declared its solicitude for the rate and welfare of the Armenian people in a manner and to an extent that J justifies you in saying the fate of ; Armenia has always been of special interest ot the American people. "I am without ..authorization .to offer or employ the military forces of the United States in any project for the relief of Armenia, and any j material contribution, would require the authorization of the congress ! v>ich is not now in session and ' whose action I could not forecast. I am willing, however, upon assur ances of the moral and diplomatic support of the principal powers, and in a spirit of sympathetic response to the request of the council the leaCTie of nations, to use my good j [offices and to proffer my personal j' mediation through a representative ' [ whom I may designate, -to end this hostilities that are now being waged 1 against the Armenian people and to 1 bring peace and accord to the con- * tending parties, relying upon the council of .he league of nations to suggest to be the Avenues through 1 which my proffers should be con veyed and the parties to whom it ^ should be addressed. 1 (Signed) "Woodrow Wilson." ^ ' -(Morfenthau Pos?ibljr~* Among officials in close touch with 5 the president it was suggested that 1 on account of the familiarity of j Henry Morgenthau former ambassa- ' dor to Turkey, with the Near Eaat 1 \ ?I 1 2a. :vi_ 4-T--4- l.~ ?^111 proiuam, n w?b pussiute t>i?v ire mi? be the "representative" through < whom Mr. Wilson might act. The president already has before him data bearing on Armenia in connec* tion with the task entrusted to him of fixing Armenian boundaries. \ Question as to the fate of the Ar menian nation was raised in the loague assembly at Geneva by Rene Vjvlani of France, who declared that the attitude of the league to ward Armenia would constitute ei ther vindication or condemnation of the league by the world. The Ar menian resolution was adopted as it i was determined to seek among the j powers a mediator in the struggle between Armenia and the Turkish Nationalists, who since the erection of Armenia as an independent state, after the armistice, have threatened to overwhelm the country. | New York, Nov. 30.?Officials of the Near East Relief commenting to < night on President Wilson's decision , to proffer his "personal mediation" through a representative he may designate "to end hostilities against the Armenian people," said that the president's leadership "in clarifying i the whole Near rfast question would | be an immense force for the peace ! of the world." More than 500 Americans.men and women workers of the oaganzations scattered throughout Turkey and Armenia, it was added, will furnish : the president with the necessary I moral machinery qnd the informa tion necessary to carry out his mediation plans. Geneva, Nov. 30.?The Armeni an committee of the league of na tions up to a late hour tonight had not received President Wilson's re ply to the request for mediation in Armenia nor the reply of any of the other governments addressed, and had not yet decided on any plan-of action. The committee has been' consult ing different military advisers on various plans proposed for a settle ment of the hostilities in Armenia. One of the plans discussed was the appointment of a high commissioner for Armenia who would be empow ered to receive . contributions to finance whatever action might ap pear proper, for instance, the arm ing of the Armenians themselves and providing officers to conduct a campaign against Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish nationalist lea der. 1 DAUGHTERS OPEN ANNUAL MEETING J t State U.
