South Dakota is the first western
stale to organize for Belgian child

issue of the Literary Digest, which
is sponsoring the movement.
A picture of Mrs. Gina Smith

of the Digest and the following
account of South Dakota's ready |
response to the appeal of suffering
Belgium: The first western state
to organize for Belgian children
relief is South Dakota. Her FIRST
remittance of $4,000, through
Treasurer w. Z. Sharp, headed
our list of acknowledgements last
week. Her second remittance of
like amount heads the list below.
Her organization is extending in
to every county from large and
influential state committee of which
George r. Douthit is chairman,
and the campaign for contributions
is being nobly aided by the entire
state press.
Mrs. Gina Smith Campbell was
named as chairman for relief work
i'll her home town of Dell Rapids,
village of 1900. We asked her
for cents per capita, writes MIR.
Douthit, and she secured more
that $500 or IS cents per capita.
They made Mrs Dampbell field
secretary of their state committee,
and Mrs. Campbell's cooperation
makes the success of our under
taking an assured fact, says Chair
man Douthit. !"
