OVER S1O00F FOR
BELGIAN FUND
Remarkable Success of Ben
eft Entertainment Ar
ranged by The Herald.


Over 1000 tickets were sold for the
/ Belgian Benefit" entertainment given
under The Herald's auspices. and gross
revenue from the sale to date is $1,007.75.
with considerable number of tickets
yet to hear from and the prospect of
adding somewhat to this total before
the books are closed. Nor does this
include the $57 raised by the Sunday
schools Of Fort Davis, Texas, and re-
ported to The Herald during the local
campaign.
The Ell Paso theater was well filled
for the second performance, and the
entertainment went off smoothly, to the
evident satisfaction of the audience.
The lecture was entirely different from
the previous evening, most of the pic
lures shown were new ones not shown
before, and all the participants in the
general program Outdid themselves
with the artistic excellence of their
work.
To Whom Credit Is Due.
In the name of the Belgian women
and children who will receive the net
proceeds of the two entertainments,
The Herald again thanks all those who
took part and thus made the success
of the entertainments: To DR.. G. c.
Young for his very interesting lectures
and pictures; to Mrs II. H. Stark, Mrs. /
w. r. Brown, Miss Virginia Bean, Mrs.
V. l. Bean, and T. A. Christian for their

H. Clements for his earnest efforts in !
arranging details; 10 L. A. Powers of |

all other employees Of The Herald who /
worked hard for the success of the fund, |
especially the carriers who worked ]
with the mail campaign and also served f!
a assistant ushers: to all the patron

the use Of their names but themselves ]
subscribed literally and induced others /
TO subscribe: to the Home Furniture
company, for stage accessories. to the (
Piano company. Potter's, the high |
school, and all others who do /
mated service or material to the /
entertainment; to the people of FL PasO |
for refraining from setting other large |
entertainments for those two nights; |
and to all who bought tickets or other |
wise subscribed to the fund; and to !
all who gave encouragement by letter /
or kind words and thus helped the good 1
work along.
Public Support Strong.
The remarkable financial success Of
the undertaking more than justifies the
unusual method adopted, because Of the !
short time available and the Christmas
rush. to place the tickets in the hands
of those likely to buy them and use
them Tickets were sent to about 1000
addresses in the city, and the fact that
over 1000 tickets were paid for, and
the further fact that the total attend
ance on the two nights was consider
ably less than that number, show that
no mistake was made in relying abso-
lutely on the good faith Of the public
to make due returns for the tickets
thus distributed broadcast practically
without other check than the money J
actually received
