this is the status of the United Jew
ish Campaign as officially announced
at its conference which was held at
the Standard Club, Chicago, on Sat
urday and Sunday, October 9 and 10.
Called by David A. Brown, national
chairman of the campaign, and Felix
NJ. Warburg, chairman of the Joint
Distribution Committee, the meeting
was attended by over 500 national,
state and local officers of what has
been described as "the greatest hu-
manitarian effort" in the history of
the American peoAle.
u. s. and Canada Ost in Force
The delegates came from every part
of the United States and Canada.
They represented every walk in life,
and every shade of Judaism. The con-
ference presented a picture of COM
pact mass of Jewishly devoted men
and women assembled, not to discuss
moot points, not to indulge in politics
and launch upon controversies, but
with the one and sole purpose of TAX
ing stock of what had already been
done to raise funds for the allevia-
tion of the tragic despair of millions
of Jews overseas, and to ascertain
what had been done with the money
raised in order to reconstruct the
whole framework of Jewish life in
Europe, framework shattered by
twelve years of war, pogroms, famine,
revolution, counter-revolution epidem-
les and economic disaster.
The conference, which opened i'm
mediately after sun-down, was well
coined by Mr.. julius Rosenwald, on
behalf of the Jewish community of
Chicago, and Gen. Abel Davis, of Chi
cago, was elected permanent chair
man.
SiXty-twO Million Dollars Spent
The conference learned that from
the beginning of it's efforts in 1915,
the Joint Distribution Committee had
spent the sum of S62, 100, O,565.3s. They
learned this from Mr.. Warburg, who
in his report made at the opening
session, informed the conference that
this money had been expended in over
40 countries, including not only all
of Eastern and Central Europe, but
also Palestine, Syria, Turkey and
other Near Eastern lands, but also
Japan and Cuba, for every form of
ameliorative and reconstructive relief
including kitchens, orphan asy-
lums and vocational schools, maintain
ing religious and cultural institutions,
establishing of hundreds of credit loan
associations, consumeds' and produc-
ers' cooperatives, banks, and finally,
the establishing of about 40 agri-
cultural colonies in the Russian
steppes, where $4,000 Jews, former
traders, have successfully become
farmers.

Samuel Spencer Shilling, retired
farmer, aged about "A, died Monday
evening about 8 O'Clock at the home
of his son Lewis Shilling, of Rural
Dale, with whom he had resided for
about five years. Death was due to
|organic heart trouble. from which
he had suffered 10 years. The de-
ceased was a highly regarded and
we'll known citizen. He was son
of the late John and Mary Ann
Miles Shilling, and was born in East
Bloom township, this county. His
wife who was Belle Osborn, died
about five years ago. For many
years they resided on their farm at
Gaysport. Besides the son mention
ed, they were the parents of anoth-
er son, Edward Shilling, who mar
ried Miss Mildred Young of Malta,

Dale. For almost so years the de-
ceased had been a member of the

Road Bids Rejected

Local officials have been unable to
state the reason the state turned
down the recent bids for the resur-
facing of the New Lexington pike
from Joetown to the Deerfield
church. 1t is thought that the con-
tract will not likely be let soon One
of the reasons advanced by local Of
ficials is that no bids were received
for other than macadam, when the
state might prefer concrete. While
no contract was let for the furnish
ing of stone. etc, for the road from
Bristol to Reinersville, No. 800, and
for 3S4, which roads were adver-
tised together, it is thought that the
reason was because of the hearing
of a proposed location which is to
be held on No. 384.

The holding of simultaneous"

merit over other ways of holding

churches, may perhaps be best de-
termined by later spiritual life and
activity pertaining to the various
church bodies.
At the different Protestant
churches and at st. James Catholic
church, services were held on Sun

which were more or less pretentious
