Ambitious plans for Bethany Home
were outlined at the regular
monthly meeting of the associa-
ton at the Harper house in this city

| it there last night and the use of the
| Harper house parlors was kindly of
| fered.
Among other things that the associa-
| ton promises to look after more close
| ~ in future is children whose parents
| do not properly care for them. To
facilitate this work campaign is to
be undertaken with the object of es-
| tablishing a Juvenile court here.

committee with the duty of carefully
auditing all bills.

the comparative statement of the finan-
cial condition of the home now and a
year ago. Last February there was
a deficit of $1,100. Now there is
S393.70 on hand. Mrs. Bennett out
lined several plans by which funds
might be provided. among them being
the holding of horse show, rummage
sales, the pledging of the different
members of the board to individually
raise a certain amount annually.
There has been paid on the new
home on Fifth avenue $4,000 in cash
and a mortgage of $1,000 bearing 6
