Ukraine only thosq countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficient food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, and even in the Ukraine, with stores accumulated on the farms, there Is famine in the large centers of population. Belgium and northern Prance, as well as Serbia, appear on the hunger map distinct from- the rest of Europe because they stand in a different relation from die other nations to the people of the United States. America has for four yenrs maintained the small war rations of Belgium and northern France and is already making special efforts to care for their increased r needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be included In this plan, are urgent in the extreme and must have immediate relief. The gratitude of the Belgian nation for the help America has extended to her during the war constitutes the strongest appeal for us to continue our work there.

HUNGER DRAWS THE MAP orking on Brigham Auto IITV CITY. But Just to All. ' Construction NO work continues to go steadily forward at the big potash plant located at Kosmo, near Monument point on the other side of the Prom ontory. The Salt Lake Potash Company has seven or eight houses already constructed and work is now being rushed on a well which has been driven one hundred feet into the ground. A large force of men and teams are on the job leveling the country for the laying of a floor that will cover approximately 3000 acres and there is more lumber on the ground than is contained in both the lumber yards of Brigham City. A deed was filed with the County Recorder on Saturday, which conveys to the Salt Lake Potash Plant several sections. The grantors are Joseph F. Nibley and Ada D. Nibley. The sideration was only $10 but the conins- trument required over ninety dollars worth of revenue stamps. This project promises to become one of the biggest manufacturing industries in Box Elder County. The potash will be taken from the salt water of the lake. "Brigham, Utah. S.S. ( CARD OF THANKS.
