WOMEN GIVE WHEAT,

American women, everywhere, and
Western women second to none. have
borne their part I'm the fight. They
have saved their meat and their wheat,
they have given their husbands and
sons. Their money is going now. In
the first, second and third Liberty
loans they have invested their dollars.
Opportunity to serve has come again.
The Government is seeking funds. II
is asking for the third OF its three-fold
need--men, munitions and money.
The hand that rocked the cradle Is
holding the purse strings in these mo-
mentous days. For their boys Western
mothers will not withhold the needed
gold. America has started on the road
to Berlin. The way Is long one.
and travelling is difficult. But the jour

must be equipped.

more clothing to suffering Belgians
than all the rest of the nation COM
bined and E. G. McNeal is hopeful
that the work win continue, on an
even larger scale, through the coming
months.
This is what Mr.. McNeal who is in
charge Of Belgian relief work, asks
of the people of Des Moines:
"The first winter Of the war, the
commissions had to take care Of $780,
900 people. BY the following winter
the number had increased to 1000, 900.
This coming winter, unless as signs
fail. we shall have 100000 people on
our hands,
Mr.. McNeal has been devoting much
time since last December to the work
of gathering old clothing, sorting,
packing and shipping it to the New
York headquarters Of the Belgian re-
lief commission.
Since he took charge of the work
here six months ago, the commission.
under his direction, has shipped thin
ty-four carloads Of shoes and clothing
to New York, where it was loaded on
ships and sent over to Belgium and
Flanders.
In one fortnight, Mr.. McNeal handl.
ed 23s.OO0 pounds of old clothing.
In one week he paid out $500 for
freight on goods received and sent
east.
