A RELIEF DRIVE IN IOWA COUNTY

BECAUSE of the dire need and starry
ing condition of nearly four million
people in the near east, Armenians,
Syrians and other war sufferers; and
BECAUSE Woodrow Wilson, u. S. Presi-
dent has recently issued his third proc
lamation stating that the American
Committee for relief in the NEAR EAST
is appealing for minimum of $50, ,000,
900 the people of Iowa County will be
called upon as soon as possible to re-
spond to this urgent call.
The minimum of Iowa County is
$4,000 which can be very easily raised
if we rs a county can actually feel and
sympathize with these unfortunate peo-
pie in their starving shelterless eondi-
ton.
You will be called upon soon to help.
Please do so as God has blessed you.

Mineral Point gave Platteville 80

crowd which packed the gym. Platte
vile made the first basket, but from
that moment Mineral Points defense
was so effective that. no more scoring
was done The home team did some
fine basket shooting as we'll as playing
a good defensive game. Because there
was no electric current, spot lights and
storage battery furnished light enough
to hold the crowd till the transmission
line could be repaired. After waiting
in vain till ten o'clock for the lights,
additional Prest O. Lights were added
and the game was played. The large
crowd remained good natured during
the long wait.
