Realize the Need.
1t seems that the people Of North

good fortune, prosperity, peace and
happiness, while their neighbors
across the sea are suffering all the
horrors of war and the grief and des-
olation which arise from it, and this
appeal coming as it does at this time

very heavy donation.
Belgium. is. "a small country, about
the Size Of two or three counties IN
North Dakota, and as the Whole of
the United States is donating, it is
reasonable to expect that the people
in that little country will be deluged
with provisions and other necessities
this winter. .
Governor Hanna Pleased.
Governor Hanna's mail is naturally
very heavy at this time of year, and
this feature makes it much heavier.
