do you desire comparisons made with other
campaigns and candidates? For the Mes

been other campaigns in which large sums
OF money have been used. A good many
people I'm Franklin county are conVersant
with the methods Of other candidates, who
have been elected to high positions in this

ofhcial printers for the national w. r. c.,
was in Bradford the first of the week TO
consult with Mrs. Conant concerning the
printing OF her report and other matters
relating to this branch Of the work. The
national W. r. c. has done this year n
business of A?, 40 Mt the office of the
treasurer-that is, it has taken about that
amount Of money to do the work of the or
ganizaton. A good part of this sum goes
through the hands of Mrs. Conant as ma
tonal secretary, as she coll ,cts all OF the
per capita tax. Mrs. Conant has thorough
ly systematized the duties Of her Office.
When the books, papers, etc, pertaining
to the office. came into her possession
there was business method lacking in their
arrangement 1t took too much time to as
certain from the books how the orEaniza-
ton stood in regard to a number of i'm
portant matters. Mrs. Conant determines
to remedy this and have things arranged
In as concise and systematic n manner as
possible, In order that the work might be
more easily and conveniently done. A
new national secretary's tabulated report
hook was made, an Improvement In several
WAYS on the old one There was no we'll
regulated system for keeping account OF
the per capita tax and the new secretary
planned and had made n book that IL a
very ingenious invention for the purpose.
This system has materially aided Mrs
Conant in collecting more delinquent PEI
capita taxes than were collected by for
mer secretaries. 1t tells at glance the
condition OF the organization as concerns
this pnrt OF tho work The next national
secretary will have turned over to her
well kept books that are especially adapt
ed for their purpose and told their story
without waste OF time,-United Opinion.
