Comrades, the following is worthy of your great
est consideration. Post No 229, of Du Bots, Is be-
seged all sides with trouble and now needs your
aid. Let your resolutions etc. go by IN default ana
instead send them some of Uncle Sans green
backs" Prayers are always good, but oitmes
little ready money is OF more use, and TINS is one
of those cases. At the last Department Encamp-
ment resolution was adopted to the effect that
Z" Communications received by the various Posts of
this Department asking relief and donations are
becoming entirely too frequent; therefore, be II
resolved, that such application shall be recog-
nized unless approved by the Department. Com
mander.m The calamity that has befallen Post No
229 and the community In which the Post IS located
renders their case an exceptional one Inc town OF
Du Bots was almost completely destroyed by ire IN
June last Not only the property of the Post
destroyed but also that of the comrades individu-
ally The community has also suffered severely
The loss has fallen heavily upon all that the De
partment Commander feels warranted in calling
the attention OF the cOmfAucS anu IOslS VI INC
Department to the needs of the comrades OF Post
No 29 and trusts that the generous spirit that has
always characterized the Department OF Pennsyl-
vania may be evidenced by the prompt and liberal
response to this appeal. All contributions should
be forwarded 10 James q. Harris, AdJutant, Post
