LARGE PATRIOTIC
MEET At PLAIN
(From Saturdays daily

One of the most successful meet
ings of the liberty loan campaign was
held last night in Plain, where the spa
cious hall was packed to overhowing,
and 100 people were turned away for
lack Of room.
Father Pesch made q stirring ap-
peal to his people to stand behind the
government and subscribe their full
quota to the Liberty Loan.
Father O'ReiIIy by his we'll chosen
remarks struck the responsive chord
in the hearts of the audience and pre-
pared them for the operations of F.
r. Bentley's rapid machine gum"
with the result that when Mr. Bent
ley got through there were no Ger
mans left in the haII-they were all
Americans.
Much of the success of the meeting
is due to the loyal Baraboo boosters
who accompanied the speakers and,
from the very beginning, aroused the
audience to a high degree Of enthusi-
asm, which eliminated in the most
emphatic expressions Of loyalty and
devotion to America.
Don't forget, Plain is going to go
lover the top and prove to the peo-
pie Of Sank county that their loyalty
to America is beyond question.
The following from Baraboo attend
ed the liberty loan meeting: Judge
andre, F. Effinger, N. Straus, Mr. Nc

The following letter brought sad
news of the death of Mrs. Orrin Hol-
lis, which happened in tragic man
ner. Mr.. and Mrs. Hollis have been
famous riders in the circus business
for many years and the writer trav-
eled with them in the old Adam
Forepaugh show in the sos. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hollis and their son Pinky were
the principal riders with the Coup &
Lent show, which exhibited in James
vile two years ago. Many in the cir
Gus business, as well as friends in
their home town, will mourn the loss
of Mrs. Hollis, for no one knew her
but who loved her. Mr. Hollis has
! lost faithful wife and the boys a Low,
! ing mother.
! MRS. Orrin Hollis, of the Orrin
/ Hollis troupe Of riders, Of Sylvan1a
O., was fatally burned at her home

Ed Ballard proprietor Of the Hagen
beck & Wallace show, has engaged
two of the Gollmar brothers, who sold
their show some years ago to the Pat
terson Carnival company. Charles
Gollmar will be the acting manager
with the show this season, taking up
his work some three weeks ago, and
is fast getting the show ready to take
the road and have it better than ever
before. Fred Gollmar his brother,
will be the general advance man and
railroad contracting agent ahead Of
the show. AS these two men have
been in the business some twenty
years they should be valuable men
with the Hagenbeck & Wallace show
the coming season, and GAINESVILLE
would indeed be lucky if it were count
ed among other stands the coming
season.
