Ieet Corn on Their Way to City

BELGIAN RELIEF FUND.

"A carload Of corn from Keokuk for
the Belgians' movement has been
started here. Citizens and farmers
are asked to contribute.
Mayor Moorhcad, on receipt OF sew
eral letters from the Belgian relief
committee Of the state, urging him to
take the initiative in the movement,
has decided that he will take up the
movement at Keokuk, and assisted by
Rev. e. B. Newcomb and others, viii
assist the Iowa commission in this
section. O. A. Talbot & Co. have sig
nihed their intention of taking care
of the grain shipments, and will re-
ceiye corn at their elevator. The
Gate City has been asked by w. B.
southwell of the publicity committee
for this. district to take up that part
Of the work and will do SO.
Mayor Moorhead has been asked by
the commission to confer with Rev.
Newcomb and Rev, Sage. and to get
list Of farmers within five miles OF
town and ask them to get high. board
wagon and come to the city, collecting
corn from every farm house.
Il know we are persistent, but 1t is
for worthy cause" writes the first
district chairman from Burlington.
our heartfelt sympathy goes out to
those poor children who absolutely
need food, and we sit at home In
warmth and comfort"
A car Of corn from Keokuk for the
Pelgian sufferers movement Is now
formally launched.
Newcomb Makes Statement.
DR.. E. B. Newcomb has given the
following to The Gate City:
Communications have come to me
from Mr.. Kuhlmeier of Burlington,
with reference to the participation of
Keokuk In the movement for the Sc
curing of contribution of corn for
the Belgian sufferers. He asks me to
take the initiative i'm bringing the
matter to the attention Of the COM

purpose. l am In heaHtiest sympathy
with the idea. But r seems to me
that such movement should be or
ganized and managed, ~ some agency
other than an individEal clergyman,
or clergymen operating together, for
the same request has probably gone
to others.
The agent In such movement
should be one generally recognized as
representing the entire community,
and different elements Of the citizen
ship Of the community and the sur.
rounding territory.
Would 1t not be possible for, say,
the Industrial association to take
charge of the matter? 1t is in touch
with all classes, and has its machin,
cry ready for operation effectively. It
is likely that the cooperation OF the
Good Fellows could be secured With
these two organizations interested 1t
should be easily possible to secure
even more than car Of corn. The
Talbot elevator offers to handle the
grain without charge.

new local option districts were added
to the dry areas of Manitoba in the
municipal contests yesterday; one ap
peal by the liquor men was decided
against them; and two places. Grand
view municipality and Shell River,
have yet to be heard from. This was
the gratifying result Of the campaign
conducted in twenty-five municipal
elections. Brandon. which the tenn
perance forces had conceded to the
"wets'' remained moist by majority
OF SO. Portage la Prairie voted dry
by 81 and the rural municipality OF
Portage la Prairie went that way also
by a wide margin.
At Bifrost the liquor appeal was de-
feated by 332. This Is regarded as a
regarded as having totally foreign
population, one-fifth being Iceland
ers and the other four-hfths Ruthen-
ians. It Is the only locality In the
province where the liquor interests
were successful in obtaining signers
to their petition. but the foreigners
evidently did not vote the way they
signed the petitions.

These II places are therefore added
to the one town and the many NUM-
cipalfties in the. province in which
local option Is already In force They

that congress did not intend to au-

taxable except those which are given
strictly In exercise Of. functions of

This ruling not only does away with
