Y. M. 6. 4. NEEDS sI,OOO TODAY
Contributions Now Amount to $5025 55 for the Weeks Efforts-sum of $653 30 Raised Thursday-What the Association Does

At the close of the fourth day of the $6.000 campaign of the Y. M. C. A. twenty-eight members sat down on Thursday evening to a delightful SUD- per served by the ladies of the Sec ond Congrega ational church. the com mittee in charge being Mrs. H. F. Palmer. Mrs. R. A. DeProsse, who were ably assisted by Mrs. Ernest Smith, Miss lone Haviland and Miss Ruth Kinney as waitresses. A. B. Davies was delegated to convey to this com mittee the unanimous thanks of the members present.
 The various teams reported for the days work as follows: Team D, through H. w. Gallup, $211.30; Team c, through s. B. Palmer. S207: Team B, through President Browning, $215; Team A, through J. l.. Case, $20, total of $653.30. The total amount raised to date is $5,025.55, leaving balance of $1,000 which has to be secured today, the last of the contest Inasmuch as S1,200 pledged is conditional upon the raising of the entire amount, every member of the various teams will have to see every prospect on his list, and a large proportion of those seen will have to respond.
 As the contest draws to a close the interest increases, yet it is harder to raise money, owing to the fact that so

Good for Macponal1.

The automobilists who made the en- durance run over the state last week concede that as general thing me roads were in very good condition and they have much to say of q com- plimentary character about Highway Commissioner Macdonald. consid- ering the criticism to which he has been subjected in many quarters this praise of the roads from those who are of necessity keen judges, must be acceI table as doubtless it Is de- served. Speaking of this outcome the Ansonia Sentinel very truly says:
 This information should be pleasing to a great many besides the state highway commissioner, and displeas- ing only to those who criticise him and his methods for other purposes than for the good of the state. It should be pleasing to thousands who use the highways for business and for pleasure and it should prove sat isfaction to taxpayers. It scores one for Macdonald. It is far better for Connecticut to have these motorists return a verdict of this kind than that they feel compelled to utter q general denuncfation They have had a good opportunity to judge of the road conditions which exist over sc much of the state as their two days rnu has taken them.-Bridgepor' Standard.

many have already responded. It is therefore hoped that a hearty response will today be given to the hard work ing members of the various teams.
 MT. Bates, state secretary, had to leave for his home in New Haven. and faint appreciation of the good work which he has done throughout the en- tire week a rising vote of thanks was rendered to him, as was also done for Secretary Wilson of the New Britain association.
 In a short speech MT. Wilson told the members present how his aSsocia- tion recently held a membership con test with the idea of bringing in 200 in one day. So thoroughly were the various committeeman imbued with this idea that 299 names were secured the first day and fifty more the follow ing morning. On Thursday MT Wilson very ably assisted Team B in it's work with very gratifying results.
 During the present week. while the various teams representing the local Y. NJ. c. A. are interesting citizens in subscribing to this worthy object, it is quite interesting to learn of what is being done by associations in various parts of the country.
 Many Sides to Work.
 There are a great many different sides to Y. NJ. c. A. work; religious social, athletic, and not least import ant of all, educational. Right here in the local Association a large number of classes nave been neId tnrOuSnOut the winter months, under competent in structors, which have been very well attended by young men eager to ac- quire knowledge in the various sub jects- A very interesting item in this connection is the large proportion of foreign born young men, the future voters, who take this means of gaining an education outside of their regular working hours. While this is to 3 great extent true in Norwich, it is much more so in localities where there is d larger proportion of foreign boon-

Newton of the Connecticut Agricultural college; mixed quartette from Mansfield grange.
 The main address at this meeting is upon one of the most important sub jects of interest to the farmers and it is especially timely in view of the milk strike and the interest which some of the state granges are taking in it. Sound opinions upon methods of and fields for cooperation must be based upon facts. and every farmer for his own financial welfare ought to in form himself upon this important sub ject. Dr. Canoe is well qualified to instruct.
 Acidity in soils is a somewhat sci entific subject, but will be treated in an elementary way which any can comprehend. The aim will be to in crease the listeners understanding of principles involved rather than to give specific advice

Sport Leads.

It may be true that trade follows the flag. but evidently sport leads de- evlopment in some lines. This seems especially so in ballooning and aero blaming. The Wrights no sooner prove that man can fly than adventurous sportsmen take to the air and aviation meets become the popular thing. Now several magazines are devoted to that department of human endeavor and their pages are filled with instructions for building gliders and balloons and even aeroplanes with power. It is really surprising how much attention air sailing craft are attracting in anna teur circles. It is quite within the probabilities that within a few months some person with abnormal sporting procHvities will make a try for a fly across the great lakes as preliminary to crossing the Atlantic--Bristoi Press
