Parcels of clothing should be delivered at Lauder's feed store on Main street, where they will be taken in charge by Mr. Staples. Care should be taken to select serviceable clothing—that is, clothing made of flimsy material—as it is warm, serviceable articles that are needed. Clothing that needs mending may be sent, as there are many women in France and Belgium who can make a small wage by mending the clothing, which, when repaired, will stand much service. There are, too, in almost every family, articles which are as good as new, because of being outgrown, or having become out of style. It is said that there is no limit to the demands now being made for clothing for European sufferers.
Approximately a half ton of clothing was delivered at the place designated yesterday, the first day of the drive.
Read and Consider.
The following pertinent thoughts have been contributed by the local committee:
The Bible says it is more blessed to give than to receive. Change places with one of the refugees and prove it.
It is hard enough to have to wear someone's old clothes, but harder still have no clothes at all to wear, especially if there is snow on the ground, a cold wind blowing, or rainfall falling. Send your bundle to Lauder's store for the refugees.
God loveth a cheerful giver. Who would not give cheerfully and say a little prayer of thanks that the Huns' long range gun did not include Latah county. Contribute your bundle of refugee garments.
Be thankful you are in this good Palouse country and not a refugee "over there." All that is being asked you is to give.  What you do not need—your old clothes.
