OIL CLO'ES To
BE MADE USEFUL
Hunting for Discarded Gar
ments Has. Already
/ Started

There. Is n kind Of hunting which
Is now. in season and which requires
no Hcense-the hunting for old, gar
ments stocked away in atticss and
s~tore-roorrls. The women and chill
dren of Belgium are pleading for,
clothes from the United States, and
the Belgian men join the chorus.
All Belgian industries have either
stopped or been taken over by the
Germans ever since 1914: there "
no raw products in Belgium, no spin
ming wheels and looms, nj factories
that make clothes for the children Of
Belgium. and ever If it were posi-
BILE to gather cotton and wool for the
making Of necessary clothing, the
Belgians themselves would not enjoy
the benefit of such efforts. The Ger
man governor general sees to that.
A way has, however, been found
out of the difficulty, for the American
Red Cross which goes everywhere,
case of distress, has succeeded in
making arrangements by which it is
possible to guarantee the distribution
of American clothes to the Belgians.
In consequence of the call which
has been sent out by a Grand Forks
committee. numerous citizens were
today digging their "old" garments
out from the hooks and corners Of
their homes to have them in readi-
ness for the drive which opens on
Monday when all discarded clothing
articles a be left at a special Bel
gian clothes office in the quarters for
merly occupied by the Vanderhoef
book store, BIG DeMets avenue. All
kinds of good and warm clothing are
wanted. OF course, such garments
must not be so worn that they IAN
not be used, but it doesn't matter
that they need repairs for which pro-
vision will be made.

TEXT OF

every day the great principles
for which we are fighting take
fresh hold on our thought and pur-
pose and make 1t clearer what the
end must he and what we must do
to achieve 1t. We nov know mOre
certainly than we ever knew before
Why free men brought the great
nation and government we love into
existence, because it grows clearer
and clearer what supreme service
1t is to be Americas privilege to
render to the world. The ami
versnry of the discovery of Amer
lea must therefore have for us in
this fateful year a peculiar and
thrilling significance. We should
make 1t q day of ardent re-dedica-
ton to the idelas upon which our
government is founded and by
which M present heroic tasks are
inspired.
commemorative addresses, pa
geants, harvest home festivals or
other demonstrations should be ar-
ranged for In every neighbOrh0od
under tho general direction of the
secretary of the treasury and the
immediate direction of the Liberty
Loon committee in cooperation
with the United States bureau of
education and the public school au-
thorities. Let the peoples response
to the fourth Liberty Loan express
the measure of their devotion to
the ideals which have guided the
country from its discovery until
now, and of their determined pur-
pose to defend them and guarantee
their triumph"

out Of fire. More is in the memories
Of Red Cross ambulance men who for
ten days and nights drove their

Sentiment in City.

An attempt was made to ascertain
to what extent sentiment in this city
favors the plan outlined in the presi-
dents proclamation, and. as is often
the case, opinion vas divided. Some
business men thought the plan was an
excellent one and should be enthusi-
astically supported by every citizen,
while others thought the plan was
impractical because of the fact that
a monster parade is to be arranged
on September %, just two week be-
fore Liberty day. The parade Of Sep
TENDER % will be arranged for the
purpose which has been indicated as
the moving factor in the Liberty day
plan. namely, the support Of the Lib
erty Loan campaign. One business
man advanced the plea that the cam
paign will be practically over in
Grand Forks on October IL, and that
a parade such Is suggested, therefore,
would be s~uperluous.
Bring People Together.
Attorney Geo. A. Bangs, in discuss
ing the proclamation. of the president,
and the suggested celebration in
Grand Forks, said:
ION every appropriate occasion I
think it advisable to renew the ex-
pressions of loyalty and patriotism of
the people. There are times when
loyalty slackens down, when enthu-
siasm cools' off, and we must guard
against that. Celebrations such as
those suggested in the presidents
proclamation today, are Of such great
