The treasurer, l.. M. Douglas, 184

make his report a grand feature in the
jubilee. More money has been raised
this year than ever before to carry on
the work. Two workers have been in
the field and debit that has been en-
tailed from year to year he hopes to en-
tireIy remove. He says Cumberland
county has done nobly, and Portland
people have been especially generous.
The work of the Maine State 5. S.
Association is being felt with increas-
ing beneficial results, and no organiza-
A5o,, fs mora worthy of guDDOrt.
