''The woman was old and bent and
gray,
And bent with the chill Of winters

You remember the rest of it and
how the boy who helped the old lady
did it because it was somebody
mother" In some such spirit as that
you are asked to aid the Benevolent
Union on Block day, in it's effort to
provide a home for Somebody's
mother" The opportunity to give
your aid to the Benevolent Union
home comes once year on Block
day, and those who work in the in
terest of this worthy charity will
give every Keokuk resident ap op-
portunity to give something. If you
can make a generous gift It will be
most welcome and will be wisely ad
ministered. If you can make only a
modest gift it will be equally well
come, but do not miss the opportun-
ity to give something. The home is
open to visitors at all times and a
call upon the old ladies who form
the household would make you a
most sympathetic giver to the insti-
tuition.
