IOWA PREPARING
TO CARE FOR BELGIANS
Over Seventy-five Thousand Contrib
uted to Help the Belgian
War Sufferers.

w. B. Southwell, chairman Of the
publicity committee of the Belgian
Relief association Of Iowa, in letter
to the editor of The Gate City, takes
occasion to heartily thank this paper
for active cooperation in this humane
movement. Indications point to
total fund of over $4,000 in corn and
cash. All the cash contributed is be-
ing spent. in Iowa for corn or other
food, and as nearly as possible in the
respective counties from which cash
contributions originate. This is very
important feature Of the relief work
and in this respect differs from the
policy of other relief organizations.
The food is going rapidly to non-com-
batants in the war zone, but the cash
remains in Iowa. The magnitude of
the work has developed to an extent
which makes necessary an extension
of the period during which contribu-
tions of corn or cash will be received
to December Is. No exact statement
of the statewide tag day receipts can
be given out at this time but it is es.
timated from incomplete reports re-
ceived that it will total over $4,000.
Keokuk Is taking part in this splen-
did work. Contributions of corn can
be left with the o. A. Talbot Co., and
those who choose can leave cash
! contributions at The Gate City office

talking about good cooking and the
Importance of it. This morning she
was getting everything in readiness

course she is making doughnIts and
cinnamon cake, and orange daisies

process of the work involved in the
producing of these daintiesj before
her class this afternoon, but It was
necessary for her to prepare some OF
each of these dishes this morning in
order that there might be enough to
go around.
She was making homemade dough
nuts when the representative Of The
Gate City called on her this morning,
and the whole place smened like

done and they were what Zona Gale

Miss Peet, and there was no need for
a second invitation. The doughnuts
were perfectly delicious. and so en-
tirely deserving of the extravagant
praise that they got it. to such an ex-
tent that Miss Peet promised to make
a whole pan full and send them over
to The Gate City office. It is certainly
hoped she will not forget this prom

THE SILVER LINING.
There is no cloud can hide for long
The beauty of the breath OF song;
In dark and heavy folds, we cry,
They hang above us in the sky,
But sweetness through the silver
day
Soon blows the dreariest pail away,
And upwards to the sun we shine
Mid old revealings grown divine.
All life the silver Innings run
Behind the shadows gray and dun.
And there amid the heaviest gloom
A sudden beauty bursts in bloom,
Transmitting all our grief and woe
Into the old, angelic glow.
OF JOY and cheer and living grace
Beneath the glory Of his face.
The storms, however fierce they roar
Shall soon pass DER. shall. soon pass
DER,
And there the sunny hills lift up
Their peaks and every vale a cup
To hold Gods beauty, brim to brim,
Shines with the utmost sweet of him,
Till song and sunshine born together.
Bring back the cream of pleasant
weather
