Society Contributes for Lithuanian War Relief

Lietuva, Nov. 23, 1917

The Farmers of Lithuania Society, well-known Chicago Lithuanian benefit society, has contributed fifteen dollars for the relief of the war-stricken people of Lithuania. The Society also donated forty-one dollars for the relief of a sick member who is in dire need. This money represents the proceeds from a benefit social which was recently held by the Society.

At its last meeting, the Society decided to contribute five hundred copies of a book entitled "Septyni Pakartieji" (Seven Hanged Men) to Lithuanian war prisoners in Europe. There are rumors to the effect that at the next meeting of the Society a decision will be made to donate a sum of money to the Christmas Fund for Lithuanian Independence.....
