Everything seems propitious for
Keokuk to repeat her many re-
sponses to real calls for real aid to
the suffering in the big old clothes
drive which begins tomorrow morn
ing and ends Friday evening.
AS soon as The Gate City was de-
livered In the homes last evening,
women all over town began to cata-
logue the clothes they have dis
carded and determine just what they
can give the suffering Belgians
through the Keokuk chapter of the
Red Cross.
In many cases, the question was
not what had been discarded, but
what can be spared. II the boy OF
the family had accumulated two old
suits for house chores, it was seen
that one of them could be sent the
Belgians. That warm gown, about
which there had been much mental
debate as to wearing it some this
winter, was promptly condemned
and listed for the Belgian relief
drive in Keokuk-
