The Illi- nois quota or orphans to be saved is 11.290, of which 7,000 are alloted to Chicago. It cists only $180 to save a life. Mrs. Parker, who is chairman of the speakers' bureau, eleventh dist- rict of the federation, aims to have everyone of the six hundred clubs of the state adopt at least one orphan, and through her organization she hopes to reach thousands of women who will heed the hunger cry of the homeless children in the Near East. Mrs. Parker is arranging for a con- ference dinner to be held in Chicago within the next two weeks, to which at least six hundred leaders of the Illinois club women will be invited. BUREAU PLACES WORKERS The Buffalo County, Nebraska, farm bureau, under the direction of the county agent, placed 320 farm workers last season. In the harvest- ing and haying season 80 men were placed in one week. This work took considerable time but was much ap- preciated. The labor work alone more than paid for the expense of operating a farm bureau office, ac- cording to one farmer. Try an Electric cabinet or Rain-Bo Bath for Men and Women.
