North Dakota Contribute War Stricken Belgium All of the leading newspapers in North Dakota have been asked to open their columns to the receiving of tunds for the Rocky Mountain club Hoover fund for the relief of Belgium. This movement, general throughout the country, headed by Theodore Roosevelt as honorary chairman and Edward H. Clark in an active execu- tive capacity, has enlisted the inter- est of many of America’s most prom- inent men. Among the many may be named Daniel Guggenheim, the mining mag- nate; John Hays Hammond, Ameri- ca’s foremost mining engineer; Albert J. Earling, of the Chicago, Milwau- kee & St. Paul system; Daniel C, Jackling, Adolph Lewisohn and N. Bruce MacKelvie, who have developed the great western copper fields; James MacNaughton, general man- ager of the Calumet & Hecla proper- ties; Thomas L, Chadbourne, whose | social body in the world, was plan- family for almost half a century has been associated with famous Lake Superior copper properties; John D. Ryan, president of the Amalgamated | sion with his message from stricken Copper Co.; Coleman Du Pont, John C, Mitchell, Benjamin B, Thayer and others whose names loom large in the financial and industrial world. Col. Clarence B, Little of Bismarck has accepted the chairmanship for North Dakota, and he has assured the general committee that North Dakota, : as always, may be relied upon to do her generous share for the Niobe of the nations. Particularly Interested, The Rocky Mountain club igs parti- cularly interested in the relief of the | Urged to to Relief of ours, in such a cause,” says the gen- eral committee. “The aim is to ‘raise about $1,250,000 a month for these needy and hungry children, Maurice Maeterlinck says that for more than two years they have not eaten accord- ing to their hunger.” Ten children can be saved for one year by a contri- bution of $120. One hundred children can be saved for one year by a con- tribution of $1200," Planned Club House, The circumstances which brought about this work of international char- ity on the part of these builders of the new west—these railroad pio- neers, miners, tunnelers of mountains and spanners of the desert—are these. The Rocky Mountain club, “the oasis where the west meets the east,” and whose 1,200 members embodied more active and prosperous men, scattered over a wider territory than any other ning to build a million-dollar club house at Denver, Then came Herbert Hoover of the Belgium Relief commis- Belgium, and for the present, at least, the club house project is dropped. It surprised everyone to know that of the $250,000,000 which had been ex- pended in the relief of that suffering nation, less than $9,000,000 had been contributed by the people of the United States. The ‘impression had been widespread that this country had been leading the work of relief the seas, whereas by virtue of e ns having been selected by neutrals and belligerents alike to dis: tribute the succor, it was actually most innocent and most helpless vic- tims of the great European struggle. —the little children of Belgium, moth- | erléss, driven from their homes, ‘sterv>| ing,-shelterless and naked, these piti-j ful little ones have been made the special charge of this organization so | typical of the great west, its big men, | and its large generos: The club will transmit contribu- tions from North Dakota through the j state chairman direct to the Belsi Relief commission, one of the mo: ficient associations wh: an urge: world-wide need ever has called to- gether, and every penny will go to the babies for whom it as all expenses of administr ready have been provided for.

I told them what they ought to give, and I received in two months $750,000 for Belgium from a country already combed to the bottom for relief and distress work. We appealed to the miners of Johannesburg, and the laborers in the mines gave ten per cent of their wages and the owners duplicated the amount. I féel that in this stress the American miner might also give some help for the suffering children of Belgium, and it was with a feeling of peculiar satisfaction that the first gentleman who rang me up on the telephone was a miner and.said, ‘My assessment is about $100,000.’ ” : —Herbert Hoover, before the Rocky Mountain Club, les for wheat) .and | other small ‘ains is unfair-to the grower.” North Dakota's ca: is being presented by Attorney General Langer, Commis- sioner of Agriculture and Lab gan, rman ‘Malcolm, “TIL” FIXES ACHING, SHOLLEN, SORE FEE How “Tiz” Does Comfort Tired, Burn- ing, Calloused Feet and Corns.

FIRE INSURANCE PAID IN SPITE OF LOSSES In spite of the fact that the fire insurance losses were unusually heavy in 1916, a tabulation .of last year’s business which has been. pre- pared by W. D. Austin, deputy com- missioner of insurance, proves that ‘companies writing fire risks in North Dakota made a nice profit. Foreign companies handling fire insurance in North Dakota collected 3 in pre- miums and paid out $3 42 in losses in 1916, while domestic insurance com- panies collected $2,479,791 and’ paid Retail RUNGE & EVERTS, Props. Two Deliveries Daily fire losses totaling $1,490,818.
