SHOULD ORGANIZE
WORK Of RELIEF.
FOR THE BE[G|ANS
1HOs H. WILLIAMS, OF COMMIT
TEE OF METHoDlsTs, MAKES
SUGGESTION.
Hold MEET AT AN EARLY DATE
If Concerted Action Is Taken 1t Is
Believed That More Than the Car
Load of Flour Will Be Obtained
Roht Away.

There should be central organiza-
ton in the county for the purpose OF
getting flour and funds for the relief
Of the stricken Belgians. This is the
conclusion of Thomas H. Williams, of
the committee appointed Sunday by
the First Methodist church for the
purpose of receiving funds and flour
for the relief of distress in Belgium.
Discussing the matter this morning,
Mr.. williams said:
Many persons have signifled their
willingness to contribute flour to be
sent to the Belgians. These people
need help Immediately and concert
of action is necessary to accomplish
results, and l would suggest that the
proprietors of our mills and other
parties interested meet and organize
by electing a chairman, secretary and
treasurer; that all donations Of
money or -four be turned over to the
treasurer, publication to be made
daily in The Herald to show progress
made. In this way an interest in
the movement will be awakened and
| feel sure that the liberality of our
people will soon contribute a car load
or even more of -four.
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
the least of these, my brethren, ye
have done it unto me-"
others to whom the matter has
been mentioned have approved the
suggestion of Mr.. Williams and 1t i:
probable that meeting will be helt
within the next few days to perfec
the organization mentioned.

HISTORY PLANTED FOR 1915
HARVESTER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The
greatest area in the worlds history
will be planted for the 1915 harvest
as a result of the European war in the
opinion of Charles M. Daugherty, sta
tistical expert of the department OF
agriculture. In report made public
today, Mr.. Daugherty says:
AS a result of the war in Europe a
worldwide tendency exists to III
crease the acreage of wheat. Doubt
less the most extensive area in the
history of the world will be seeded
during the present autumn and COM
ing spring. A prospective heavy de-
mand for this important food grain
by the importing countries OF western
Europe is likely, if seeding conditions
favor ITO give extraordinary stimu-
lUs to sowings of both winter and
