REMINDER TO THOSE
WHO WOULD GIVE AID

New York Nov 15,-Editor Argus.
In answer to inquiries from readers
permit me to state that the dollar
Christmas fund for destitute Belgians
will remain open until the end of De-
+ cember and that all donations entrust-
ed to me as treasurer care of Henry
CIews & Co, Broad street, New York,
will be most gratefully acknowledged.
: There are probably many people who
might like to associate the season OF
Thanksgiving this year with the relief
( of Belgian victims Of war for whom the
dollar Christmas fund for the second
year makes a special appeal.
America has been spared the horrors
Of war; we have been greatly blessed,
and TO quote the words of our president
in his Thanksgiving proclamation last
year, 1T has been vouchsafed to us in
part 10 sucoor the suffering"
/ To those who have not yet given |
make a very earnest appeal TO send a
donation to aid the old men, the frail
women and the orphans of war in
stricken Belgium No mans Thanks
giving or Christmas this year will be
less happy because he has remem-
bered TO help those who are TOO poor
TO help themselves.
Contributions TO date are not SO
numerous as last year and the need is
even greater.
This is the last call from the dollar
Christmas fund before Thanksgiving
10 not pass il by,
Yours very truly,
HENRY CLEWS,
| Treasurer Of the Dollar Christmas
Fund, Broad street, New York.

NEGOTIATIONS are IN progress from
which it may develop within a month
that the idle plant OF the Marshalltown
Sewer Pipe and Tile Company will, be.
operated again. Warren Overpack,
formerly president of the Marshalltown
Sewer Pipe and Tile Company. is here
promoting negotiations which may re-
suit in the factory being operated by a
manufacturer of tile and clay products
In connection with this project a
meeting Of the bondholders was held
in Chicago Tuesday at which about
$4,000 Of the $4,000 of Marshalltown
Sewer Pipe & Tile Company bonds
were represented.
Bend Holders May Take Plant.
A tentative arrangement, dependent
upon Overpack's success in closing A.
nally with men he has in mind who will
come here to operate the plant was
made by which the bondholders are
to take over the plant at the receivers
sale late next month. This sale was
fixed by the federal court Of Des
Moines for about this time. But be-
cause Of the negotiations which are in
progress the date Of the sale was con-
tinued for thirty days in order that
Overpack, the bondholders, and Over
packs manufacturers with whom he is
negotiating might close their nego-
5tiations for acquiring and operating the
plant.
Under this arrangement the bond
holders are to acquire the plant. thru
act as trustee for them. An officer of
he 7 ~ nd of-
Des Moines. Is receiver.
Would Refund the Bonds.
Tho bondholders, it Is pointed out,
could thus acquire the plant without
the outlay Of cash other than the court
costs, The plan. as-developed by Over
pack. 1t is understood, is that the
bondholders were then to issue series
OF per cent promissory notes to re-.
fund the bonds. These notes would
be taken over by the manufactures
whom Overpack has in. mind. who
would pay them out Of manufacturing
profits. 1t Is pointed out that this is,
practically the only hope the bond
holders have OF realizing on their
debt.
A few Of these bonds are held here
by the eroaltors. OF the Marahalltown
Sewer Pipe and Tile Company who.
took them a. security for their claims.
Bonds Held In Chicago.
The Drexel State Bank, Of Chicago,
holds $4,000 Of these bonds, that were
posted with 1t as collateral. A st.
Louis bank or individual has $4,000 or
$4,000 worth of them, and the Gilman
Savings Bank has $4,000 worth.
Overpack, who has been in the city
for = few DAYS has expressed great
confidence that he will be able to close
negotiations with the person or per-
sons he il in touch with to operate the
factory 3Overpack went to Nevada this
forenoon. and was not in the city when
an effort was made to reach him by
