Money for Belgians.

A request has been issued by Mrs.
William Cumming Story. president
general of the Daughters OF tho
American Revolution. that small
cards representing flags be sold by
the members of the organization here
for the purpose of relieving the war
afflicted people OF Belgium. The
Daughters of the Revolution OF our
country represent an organization Of
more than 100000 members, and to
each one has been sent 100 OF these
cards to sold at a minimum price Of
seven cents as that Is the cost of the
ration of one Belgium for one day.
The sympathy OF this country has
gone forth toward these Belgians as
to no other nation. They were the
first victims Of Germany's iron heel,
and they we're unprepared for that
unexpected devastation OF their
homes and farms. The Daughters Of
the American Revolution feels TINT
this Is a great opportunity to perform
q valuable service to humanity. IN
the words Of Mrs. Story: I'VE are
called upon by these stricken people
for help. Shall we deny them, or
as a great, rich. neutral nation shall
we come to their aid and rescue?
Can we give this service, and with a
will and in Gods name? Three mil
lion of the population of Belgium
are entirely or partly dependent upon
charity. The need of help will con-
tinue until the war is over. and I'M
less help Is given them they mus.

900 people In America have done
nothing for the war sufferers. We are
prosperous and happy; It Is our coun-
try's great opportunity to demon

high ideas. and it is your opportunity
to take some small part in alternating
the suffering that the war has
brought to these innocent. helpless
and defenseless people. who are pris-
oners on their own soil. IS

BENEFITS TO

the Latter Declare.

CLEVELAND, April Elm a state.
ment issued here Thursday by the
four railroad brotherhoods which are
demanding an eight-hour day from
400 railroads in the United States, il
is commended that the shippers and
merchants in the country will be
benefited II the brotherhoods win
their fight because the eight-hour de-
mand Is based on freight trains max.
ing twelve and one-half miles per
hour in order to escape paying crews
overtime.
The statement says:
IAN merchants and most manufac-
turers try to buy in as small quantl-
ties as possible and make quick turn
overs in their stock but with slow
freight shipments 1t is impossible to
do this. Railroads, in order to In
crease their train earnings per train
mile. are loading their locomotives
with every car that they can possibly
pull. II the deband OF the men for
an eight-hour day with payment OF
time and one-half for overtime Is
granted. the railroads will see to II
that there is very little overtime and
will move their trains faster and II
necessary make shorter trains to get
them over the road quicker and cut
out unnecessary delays"

Two men robbed the First National
Bank Of Houston at Houston, near

$4,000 and escaped in an automo-
bile.
Joseph X. McNutt. cashier of the

about the size Of check and laid 1t
on the counter in front Of the CASH

facing an automatic pistol.
Meantime the other occupant OF
the automobile had left the machine
and made his way to the door leading
to the cashiers cage which happened
to be open. McNutt was made to lie
on the floor and one of the robbers
guarded him while the other went
through the vault. He collected $15,-

FINE SCHOOL
BUILDING To
Be ERECTED
At Price of $4,000 with a Lo-
cal Firm as Architect
for the Same. IA.

, S. w. Ford, of the firm OF s. w. Ford
and Company, has Just returned from
Redwood, Nicholas county, where his
firm was awarded the contract by the
board Of education Of that city to pre-
pare plans and specifications and su-
perintend the construction Of a school
building to be built there, the cost Of
which will be in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
Redwood is a thriving mountain
town Of about 5000 inhabitants and
has hum" Of industry not equaled
by many Of the larger cities OF the
state. The town has developed SO
rapidly that the board of education
has not been able to keep pace with
requirements for buildings and equip
ment. Consequently. bond issue for
100000 was proposed and the energy
with which the citizens went about to
carry" the bond issue, was amazing.
The students, both boys and girls,
turned out in force. Many of the boys
operated automobiles and no voter es-
capped.
The voting place was arranged in a
back corner Of the upper floor of the
old school building and was thus made
an "electioneering" feature OF the cam
paign for the bond issue, as all voters
were compelled to traverse almost the
entire building in order to get to the
polls.
The present buildings are impro-
yised affairs, and placards were placed
throughout the halls calling voters
attention to the present conditions.
AS result. 1t was stated that many
who had opposed the proposition vot-
ed an open ballot for It when they ar
rived at the voting place.
The vote was almost unanimous for
the bond issue.
s. W. Ford and Company, the archi-
tects chosen by the board, have built
a great many schools. and the selection
of these architects for this work as
sures the fact that Redwood will have
a modern school building when the
one contemplated Is completed.
Work will be started at once and an
effort will be made to have the new
building ready to occupy during the
coming school year.
