BOYS PLAN
To RELIEVE
BELG|ANS
CHARLIE M'DONALD'S EAR
OF CORN SCHEME STARTS
CLUBS TO WORK
Special to Daily Leader.

Ponca City, Okla, Nov. rs
Charles Mcdonald, the nine year old
son of Alva Mcdonald, heard his
| father read to his grandmother a few
nights ago about the starving condi-
| tions among the Belgian women and
children and next morning the little
fellow confided to his grandma his
plan of sending ali ear of corn to feed
some starving little boy over in that
vortex of tragedies. and asked her
to help him get other little boys in
Oklahoma to send an ear of corn to
augment his mite.
And little Charley Mcdonald has
started something.
Already the suggestion OF this little
boy has been taken up and the word
is being sent to the boys corn clubs,
to the girls clubs, to the women's
Clubs to help gather together the con-
tributions from the little folks over
Oklahoma to be ground by the mills
into meal to send to Belgium.
Charles McDonald's grandma, Mrs.
w. r. Mcdonald, is one of the best
charity workers in the state, having
devoted more time and effort to the
relief of the sufferings of others than
almost any woman in Oklahoma.
Charley had heard his grandparents
tell about their early experience with
the relief cf the starving in Ireland
luring the great famine there. and
he had heard them sing parts Of that
song which was heard in every
theater in America three quarters OF
century ago. A starving Irish lad
sang:
."Give me three grains of corn, mother,
Only three grains Of corn,
Twill keep the little life l have
Till the coming of the morn"
AS the hungry mother had been try
ing to induce her starving boy to go
to sleep and when he wose in the
morning she would have some corn
for him, she knowing that if he
would but sleep then his earthly
troubles would forever be at an end.
Mrs. Mcdonald hopes that the al
ready well organized Belgian relief
forces over Oklahoma viii assist the
little folks over the state in gather
ing their store of corn and shipping
it with other contributions for the
starving women and children in that
war straight little kingdom. she
also declares that such an incident
Just at this time viii leave a most
impressive and permanent lesson on
/ the minds Of the boys and girls who

women Of action in the affairs OF this

William j. Crimmin, granite cutter, OF

day OF last week, by shooting. Despond-
ency over family troubles is the cause as
signed. According to the Barre (Vt.) }
Times, after the close of the public schools
last June, Mrs. Crimmin left, taking
their two children, to Trenton, Me. 1t
had been her custom to go away in the
summer and to return in the fall. This
year, however, she notified Mr.. Crimmin
that she did not intend to return. The
letter from her was received two weeks
ago. This seemed to affect Mr.. Crimmin
very mneh, and he had brooded over it
constantly.
Mr.. Crimmin was forty-two years of
age, and had lived in Northfield about
nine years. He is survived by his wife
and two children, Richard, aged twelve,
and Doris, aged eight years; also his
mother and one brother, George, in
