| | i = By WILL Belgium Helpless Anyway Till Spring, ays Commission Need of Relief Still Very Urgent, According to Latest Reports From Stricken Land---How & Americans Can Send Their Mite ot IRWIN =— BELGIAN REFUGEES IN THE RUINS OF TERMONDE. CCORDING to the Commission For Relief In Belgium, the American peo- ple will probably have to feed the Belgian people all this winter. “We have taken pains to investigate,” said one of the commissioners last week, “and the best informed Europeans tell us that there will be no change in the military situation this winter It means that we must keep up the work until spring breaks or longer.” It has been a race with hunger, this business of feeding 6,500,000 people with supplies gathered a half a world away. All Belgium depends on Ameri- ) can food. Half of Belgium is never more than a week ahead of starvation. Often it has come closer than that. Once the province of Limbourg, remote and hilly, was starving. In some communities the people had not eaten for two days, when one of our United States consuls managed to borrow from the Germans énough bread to keep the people alive until an American shipment arrived to repay the loan. Once Captain Lucey. the shipping agent in Holland. had to borrow 10,000 tons of wheat from the Dutch government. Liege and Hamme and historic Ghent were crying for bread, and it was still several days before the next American ship was due at Rotterdam. This was a noble thing for Holland to do since the Dutch themselves are short on food. Yes; it is a race with hunger, and America, now that she has faced the starter, must win! This is Am great and glorious part in the world war of 1914-15. That every American may have a personal chance to help some Belgian the Commission For Relief In Belgium has arranged its “parcel post plan.” Any one who wants to send a package containing between twenty and fifty pounds of nonperishable food need only put a tag on the package, address the tag to the nearest collection depot of the commission, stamp it in the regular way and drop it in the mail chute. If the giver puts on the package tag his name and address. TOGETHER WITH THE LETTER “R.” the,money he has spent for stamps will be refunded Packages mailed from MIN. FER AND STORAGE COMPANY for this district. OTA should be addressed to POYD TRANS . MINNEAPOLIS; who are collecting agent: (By Hal Sheridan) A bunch of fistic fans gathered around a- table in one of the chief fanning places a few nights ago and began to talk of famous punches. “Well, I've seen a lot of ’em,” drawled a Californian, who'is visit- ing in New York City, “but I think the best one over pulled was by Young Corbett in the last round of his battle with Terry McGovern. Ter- ry was coming in like he always did, head down and blazing away with both hands. Corbett pulled back and shot his left out just as Terry rushed in. The blow caught Terry flush on the neck behind the ear and he whirled head over heels: in the air and landed flat. He got.up on one knee and grinned and ‘we all thought he was resting, taking ad- vantage of the count, but when he made no move to get up as the re- feree tolled off ten we knew he was gone. He was clear out. -I've seen him bowled over, but this bird did a complete loop.” Another lad spoke up and had -a new one on Spider Kelly. “I remember one night promotor in San Francisco asked Spider to get a lad to substitute for a lightweight in a bout. “ ‘What do you want for the boy? the promotor asked Kelly. “‘A yard and a half,’ says Spider, which he meant for $150. The pro- motor agreed and Spider’s boy got the fight. But he got an awful beating long with it. About the fourth round Spider grabbed his boy and started out of the arena with him. ‘“.‘Hey, Spider, what’s the big idea —why take him out,’ yelled a ring- side spectators. “‘Oh, just a little early piety,” said Spider.” ‘“‘Say, they wanted to mob me when I put the kayo on One Round Davis at Buffalo,” said Fireman Jim Flynn the other night. ‘“He was a big card there and I ruined him for them. They made’ me wait hours for my money.” KKK KKK KKK KKK KK KK * BASKETBALL SCHEDULE = * Pencil Sellers! Attention Please! Will You Have it When They Ask For Ii? It is safe to predict that the “NEW BE~ FIDJI” will be the popular “writing stick” in this section of the state within a very short period. You’ve often wanted that smooth writing lead. the kind that makes you want to write forever. Well, that’s just the kind you’ll find in the “NEW BEMIDJL.” Everybody sells ’em, or ought to. Just ask your merchant, if he does not carry them in stock he’ll be glad to call 31 by telephone, and your desires will be filled while you wait. Just Say To The Man: “Here’s five cents, a new Bemidji, please” Nearly 100,000 “NEW BETIDJIS” are in Bemidji right this minute. These merchants already have them and others are getting them as fast as deliveries can be made. Their names will be added to this list then. Remember, too, that when you sell a ““NEW BEMIDJI” you sell the best nickle pencil in the world, and when you buy a “NEW BE- MIDJI”’ you buy the best nickle pencil in the world.

Be- midji was wide awake on the Normal School fight; are we now going to sit down and let the railroads tell their customers that they must go to Cass Lake, Walker or Detroit Lake, as Be- midji has no accommodations? “About three or four years ago one of our summer vsitors from Grand Forks wrote to the Pioneer. It was a long article; in it he stated that Bemidji should have 20,000 visitors each year instead of 500. This arti- cle was copied in mnearly all of the Twin City papers and the Winnipeg papers. The Logical Place. “Let us start this thing going at once and a few figures may help. We now have, around Lake Bemidji, 54 cottages; Riverside 6; Turtle Lake 14; Lake Plantaganet 8, a total of 82 cottages, occupied by people com- ing here for an average of three months and they will average four people to a cottage, or a total of about 328 people. Figuring cost of living and the money spent other- wise at a low estimate of $1 per day for each person, it would make a to- tal of $328 per day, and for 90 days, it would mean $90,000 to be left in Bemidji. Suppose we could make this 5,000 people for 90 days, it would mean $450,000. Now what would we do for a firm that had a factory that was paying out $30,000 annually in wages and could show that by a little help they would soon be able to pay $90,000 in wages and possibly $450,000?
