Want 5000 Tons
of Clothing For
Destitute Belgium

Beginning March Is and ending
March rs, day nation wide cam.
paign will be carried on by the Red
Cross and the Commission for Relief
in Belgium to secure a minimum
quantity of 5000 tons of clothes for
the destitute people of Belgium and
the occupied portions of northern
France. At the request of Herbert
Hoover Chairman of the Commission
for Relief in Belgium, Henry p.
Davidson, chairman of the Red Cross
War Council, has granted the use of
the National Red Cross organization
for collecting the needed clothing.
AS the commission has allowed
most of it's local committees to dis
band on account of the financial ar
rangements made last June with the
government, it has turned to the Red
Cross for help. Where the local com
mittees Of the Relief Commission are
still intact, they will work side by side
with the Red Cross Chapters.
: The practically entire exhaustion of
clothing, shoes and leather in occu-
pied Belgium and northern France
and the shortage of these necessities
in the worlds markets are making 1t
increasingly difficult for the commits
sion to keep clothed and shod the
unfortunate people of these territor-
les. In addition to new material,
gifts of used and surplus clothing,
shoes, blankets, flannel cloth, etc., are
needed in large quantities from the
people Of the United States.
The donations will be shipped at
once to the Atlantic seaboard and
sent overseas for distribution.

Gerry court of Maury county in Jan

supreme court for two years. When
tried in the local court before a jury
it attracted widespread interest and
the hearings were attended by large
crowds.

to the Federal Chemical Co. but
claimed that he had retained the min

valuable.

him as much as he can wrap around
