"Will Rogers and his wife gavo
S5,000 to Arkansas drouth relief.
Will gets $5,000 for a few minutes
talk over the radio. This writer
could not get five cents for a radio
talk, so a five cent donation from us
would equal Will's gift. Now that's
one way to look at it," says an ex-
change.
"But that's not all Will
did for the drouth relief nr Texqs

of Texas he raised over $80,000, and
will probably raise as much more in
each succeeding state. He "Raff al^o

All this at his own expense, when he
