BELGIUM's NEEDS ARE GREAT.

Splendid as has been Philadelphia
response to the appeals in behalf of
the destitute Belgians, the relief so
offered will be but as a drop in the
bucket compared with the wants of
that stricken land. 1t has been esti-
mated by those engaged in dstrb-
uting food supplies to the millions
threatencded with starvation that
$4,OOO,OO0 a month will be required
for this work throughout this winter.
This means over 100000 a day. If
generous Philadelphia contributes
100000, or even $$30O,0OO, it will
thus be seen that the relief granted
covers but two or three days. For
tunately for Belgium, all America is
giving bountifully, and so doubtless
are England, Canada, Australia and
other Britishp ossessions, but evil
IDENTIFY the demands are going to be
very great for several months.
Let realization of these stern
facts animate those who have so far
failed to take part in thes plendid out
pouring of cash and supplies made
by this city had it's surrounding com
munlties. The cargo carried away by
the Theima today will be a godsend
to the Belgians, but there will be no
less need of second and of many
others from all parts of the world.
The opportunity to give is still open,
and the gratitude of thankful mil
lions will be no less greatf or a sec
ond cargo than for the first. Let
everybody who, for whatever reason
has so far failed to join in this great
work of benevolence decide that the
second cargo shall be larger than
Thelma's and make personal contri-
button to the splendid cause.-Phila.

LOVE MAKES MEMORY ETERN
AL"

In the death of Major A. ]. Tynes,
one of our most prominent Confed-
crate Veterans, the Tazewell Chapter
United Daughters of the Confederacy,
has sustained loss they can not for
get. He was always ready to give
advice and to render able assistance to
the work Of this Chapter, which was
SO near to his heart. There is inspira
ton in his memory and a call from
his silent lips to take up the work in
which ne was so deeply interested,
with new energy and loyalty.
10 his memory we write these reso-
lutions:
Resolved, That no words of ours are
adequate to express our appreciation
OF his worth and many gracious quail
ties of heart and life. May his be-
reaved family be comforted with that
comfort from on high, and be filled as
we are with the hope of glorious
reunion in the blessed land.
Resolved, That the members of
Tazewell Chapter desire to express
to our President, the daughter of
Major Tynes. and to the entire fam
lily our sympathy in their bereave-
ment. Your sorrow is also ours and
we trust that it may bind us more
closely together as Daughters of the
ConfederacY

lutions be sent to the family, and also

Can Tie Letter to Parcel.

Friends here have been apprised
of the parcel post, Postmaster Gener-
al Burleson has signed an order
which will permit the attaching of a
letter to a package when both bear
their respective rates of postage and
are addressed to the same individual.
The sending of a communication with
a parcel post package heretofore has
not been permissible.
Postal officials pointed out that it
is often of the utmost Importance
that the sender of an article of mer-
chandise write letter concerning it
and that in order to avoid delay and
to facilitate the transaction of bust
ness, it is highly desirable that the
parcel and communication be deliv-
cred at the same time. 1t was with
this in mind that this order was
issued. The letter or communica-
ton, however, is not to be included
in the package, but to be tied or 9th
erwise securely fastened to the out
side in such a manner as to prevent
the separation from the package. The
new order is expected to enlarge con-
siderably the parcel post service.

Might Have Been Worse.

One morning the latter part of last
week, as little Elsie Young, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. H. Young was
driving in from the country with her
aunts, Mrs. Geo. and Mrs. Max Gehl-
haar, just as they were crossing the
track at the cut in the south part of
town, something went wrong and the
horse turned square around tipping
the buggy over and throwing the oc-
cupants out There was freight
train coming down the grade toward
them and the engineer succeeded in
stopping the train before it reached
them. However, they had gotten out
of the way, but the buggy remained
on the track and this they removed.
No one was at all hurt, which was
very fortunate, as it might have cas-
lily have resulted much more serious
ly.-Garden Grove Express.

sIGHTLESS PRISONER IN BETTER
SHAPE,
Delicate Operation Performed Sue
cessfully Upon Otis Green.

Otis Green, the blind prisoner who
went to Iowa City several weeks ago
to be operated upon for his eyes, was
returned to the penitentiary on Sat-
urday by Chaplain Tenant, who
went after him. The specialists at
the Iowa City hospital have done a
good job. When Green went to them
the lids of his eyes were growing to
the inside of the socket and creating
nervous disturbances which were
considered dangerous. The oculist
surgeons cut the lids apart, took
away parts of flesh from the inside of
the socket and grated upon over the
Green's legs. The operation was a
delicate one, but successfully done.
After several weeks the sockets heal
ed and two brown glass eyes were
put into them as a protection for the
future and for facial improvement.
Green looks like another man and
from a casual glance one would new
er take him to be sightless. He re-
lates that waiter in hotel, as he
was on his return to the prison, prof
fered him bill of fare in the
thought that he could see to read.
The glass eyes he is now using are
temporary ones, slightly smaller than
those later to be placed in the eye,
and are for the purpose Of enabling
the. eyesockets to get used to the
foreign substance before others are
given that will be a fit.
He says the surgeons and nurses
at the Iowa City hospital treated
him fine and when it comes to DR..
Dean there isn't anything too good
for that gentleman in Green's esti-
nation. And as by-thought it is
remarked that when it comes to do
ing something for prisoner who
really needs to have something done
for him, the state of Iowa and the
authorities of the FIT. Madison prison
are "Johnnies on the spot" with a
great big human heart.-Ft. Madi-
son Democrat.

Iowa Leads in Ham and Eggs.

The production Of eggs in Iowa in
1913 was greater than the annual
output of the gold mines of Alaska
of California or any other state IN
the union, according to statement
issued by the Iowa department of ag-
riCulture. Aroused over the claims
made by Minnesota as an important
egg producing state, the Iowa depart
ment prepared statistics showing that
Iowa has twice as many fowls and
that they produce twice as many
eggs annually as the fowls of Min
nesota do. Iowa also lays claim to
be the leading producer of ham and
bacon, the statement says:
Iowa hens lay 1,17O,569, 112
eggs in year and take three months
vacation" declares the department.
1T would require the annual poul-
try products of two states like Min
nesota to equal Iowa's annual egg
and poultry output, not withstanding
the fact that Minnesota is out with
statement that if all the eggs laid in
Minnesota in year were placed end
to end, they would reach all the way
around the earth and leave 5000
miles over.
of agriculture has received from
township assessors show that in 1913
there were 36,O92,390 fowls on Iowa
farms and that the egg production
! for twelve months amounted to 81
549,731 dozen. The department esti-
mated than the value of the poultry
and eggs would be $38,O00,000. The
value of the egg output alone would
Il 10
the annual output of all the gold
mines, in Alaska, or in California, or
/ in Colorado, or any state of the un-
ion. Iowa's poultry and her annual
egg crop would buy $4,000 automo-
biles at 5000 each. This would be
one automobile for every thirty-five
persons in Iowa. :.
''NO other state in the union equal
ed Iowa in the number and value of
her poultry the last time they all
were counted. In 1910 Iowa ranked
first, Illinois second and Missouri
third in the number and value of
poultry on farms. Minnesota rank
ed ninth.
''The report of the census of 1910
shows the annual production of eggs
all over the United States would
give an average of 1913 dozen of
eggs per capita per annum for the
United States. The number of doz-
en- eggs per capita in Iowa amounts
to 44.2 dozen, or the number of eggs
per person in Iowa per annum based
on the 1910 output was $50, which
would give about l Y eggs per day
for every man, woman and child in
the state.
Supremacy of Iowa farms in the
production of swine as compared to
other states, together with the SUI
premacy in egg production, make
Iowa the headquarters for the ham
and egg output of the entire United
States. On January /, 1914, Iowa
had 100000 hogs. Packers esti-
mate that IS. per cent of the live
weight will dress out into ham, and
estimating the average weight of the
marketable hog at $50 pounds, show
that hogs on Iowa farms January
would dress out 27,5OO,OO0 pounds
of ham. They would dress out into
an equal amount of bacon. This
would be 1922 pounds of ham and
the same amount of bacon for every
person in Iowa. ''-Des Moines Regis

now in the field for the governorship:
