On the speakers platform the Of

the little conferences that really
amounted to something.

There was a vociferous outburst, a
sort of tidal wave of noise that

that eight or ten thousand murmurs
of expectation from the audience
Bonded together, made fairly credit

Finally, BANG! went the gavel

could be executed to penetrate the

THE CAMPAIGN FOR
JEWISH RELIEF

Six million Jews are starving in the
war zone. Men, women and children
are suffering from the terrible catas-
trophe that has fallen over that battle
swept country.
Six million people suffering and
starving! It is beyond the conception
of any one Individual. The figures
are staggering and the fact that they
are suffering in a thousand and one
ways is appalling.
The Jews of this Nation have start
ed a movement to raise money to
assist them. Already they have con
tributed millions from their own re-
sources to feed and clothe the starv-
ing brethren.
Now they are asking the assistance
Of the American people. They are
asking the people of this charitable,
sympathetic Nation to assist in their
efforts. Already the United States
has contributed literally to the Bel
gians and others that are suffering
from the effects Of the war. Now they
will open their hearts and their purses
to the suffering Jews. OF this there
is no doubt.
And in retrospect, we may look back
over the years that have passed since
the settlement of this county We
can go over in memory the part that

commercial and the social life OF the
Nation. We can remember vividly
that the Jewish race has always met
the people of other races with open
hearts. They have given and given
freely of their gold and their silver.
They have assisted without stint each
and every time that they were ap
proached in the name Of charity. And
In all this time. they have never
asked, but have always given.
Now they ask In the name OF their
starving brethren. The people OF tho
Nation will recognize the worthinesf
Of the GAUGE. They will look towards
those devastated battle fields OF Eu
rope. They win conjure as near al
possible the scenes OF death and desc
lation that are everywhere evident
Moved by that great compassion
that holds sway in the hearts OF oil
men, they win do what they can tt
alleviate the suffering Of their need,

FOR FOUR DAYS

A special to the Reno Gazette says
that Unionville is once more in traffic
communication with the outside world.
The storm of last week completely iso-
lated the little but well-known mining
camp.
For about four days it was impos-
sible to reach the town either by team,
auto or horseback because of the great
depth of snow on the road. While the
storm was raging, and for two days
afterwards, the only means of ingress
and egress was on snow shoes.
AS the camp was well provisioned,
1t is said the inhabitants had no fear
OF famine even though they might
have been snowbound for couple Of
weeks.
