SILVERSTREET TOWN IS GOOD TRADE CENTER The name Siiverstreet indicates what to expect and although little is heard from here, it is a busy place. It has a city council but is so quiet and peaceful that no police force is needed, quite a city of brotherly iove. 1 ~ aIiuvcK Vmildi tics. YV0 nave u>u met \.uuiv>i ^ ? 0_7 Lutheran and Pentecostal Holiness, a beautiful Lutheran parsonage, a commodious school house and a large bank building. \ J. A. Tallant has an extensive lumber business, has several large trucks which daily deliver lumber. Vance Pearsall has a large wheelwright and blacksmith shop, also a grist mill. We have a neat postoffice, installed in the store, building of J. C. Berry, the postmaster. There are several stores where one ^ can find nearly everything needed. ' Mrsw John Long has recently opened 1 her store and keeps groceries ana dry goods and expects soon to have an up-to-date store. j Messrs. Berry .and Sheppard,!

Dukes, acting chairman of the j Central Committee for the Relief of j Jews Suffering Through the War,! mailed a circular -letter from New, York to Mr. T. Vigodsky, in which: he said : "Millions of our people are j "Am nf hnncrer and starva-1 ?V"T IU 0? tion. Immediate help must be sent! from America, if we want to save their lives." Mr. Dukes encloses "Extract from cable sent by Henry j P. Davidson, head of Red Cross," > which we asked Mr. Vigodsky to let us copy for our readers. In its awful portrayal it speaks for itself as follows: . % Paris, March, 24.?No matter how many treatkjs are signed or not signed, world peace will not be established until Central Europe and the Near East are thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. / America is just as unsafe as Europe from typhus and the white plc^'je now spreading over the world with lightning rapidity. . Two million three hundred thousand infected Russian refugees are now pressing against Western Europe's border in their mad rush westward, in the hope of escaping death und^r the most horible conditions. * Conditions as bad as in Russia prevail in Hungary, Serbia, Austria, Montenegro, Turkey and Syria and throughout tjie Near East. - Poland is especially severely stricken. Mnrp neonle are dvinsr daily now than during the war. Whole populations are being wiped out. The fatal germs pass from one 'country to another, owing to the lack of sanitary devices. Unless quick relief is provided the world will see a tragedy greater than that of the last five years, v Montenegro, for instance, with its population of 430,000, has only four doctors, no hospital supplies and no medicines. The same applies to the whole of Eastern Europe. PROGRAM WESTERN DIVISION W. M. U. INSTITUTE ??? x The following is the suggested prov#i fr?r Western Division W. M. U. Institute.
