other stricken cities and villages in
that section are crying out to the

pittance from the abundance with
which a kind providence has favored
you"
The relief committee of Dayton in
its appeal for help says Money is
urgently needed for putting our city
in condition to prevent the outbreak
of serious disease and to rehabilitate
the thousands, many of whom have
lost their homes entirely and all o.
whom have lost their household eff

out an urgent appeal to the citizens of
the United States for the necessary
funds"
The Fairmans of this city-a city
blest with peace, contentment and
prosperity, where there is neither
raging floods nor contrary winds
have heard the far-off cry, and with
their usual generosity are going to
make an effort to assist in the relief
of the stricken region as far as they
can. To this end they will give a
