Salvation Army to Aid European War
Sufferers.

Commander Eva Booth of the Sal
walton Army makes a strong appeal
for old sheets, pillow cases, table
cloths etc. for bandages for the
wounded soldiers. Being in direct
communication with the terrible state
of affairs in Europe, she sees the great
need of assistance for the sufferers,
both on the field of battle and also the
helpless mothers. wives and children.
AS Capt. MeKelvey. who is in
charge of the Salvation Army work in
Augusta. is doing this branch of the
work alone she asks through the col
umns of the Journal for all the as
sistance possible, and anyone having
such articles or anything that will do
for bandages is asked to communicate
with her at 6219 Chapel street or st
Water street between and o'clock
every evening, where such articles can
be left, or if inconvenient to bring
them the captain will. call for them. as
already several ladies have volunteered
to make them.

VIENNA

The Sevey school. under the tut
ton of Mrs. A. +. Fellows, closed a
very successful TERMS work Nov. II.
This is Mrs. Fellows fifth term in this
school and it is much to the loss and
regret of both parents and pupils that
she feels obliged, on account of the
ill health of her husband. to give up
the work now When Mrs. Fellows
came to this school last year she or
ganized a S. /. League in which the
pupils at once became interested. They
have given three entertainments and
by the proceeds have obtained fine
school clock, wall lamps, window
shades and screens. A fine desk for
teachers use has been ordered and
paid for and they now have about IS
in cash on hand. The total earning of
the League is s43. In the little farces
given some Of the pupils displayed
quite little histrionic ability.
The term just closed had an en-
rollment Of "a pupils, with an average
attendance of 22.S, which is almost
remarkable. considering that many Of
the pupils are small and live one and
one-half miles from the school. Near
ly all cases of absence have been
caused by the illness of pupils. Mrs.
Fellows has wall display of draw
ings, paintings and written work
which would do credit to many an ad-
vanced school.
Mrs. Fellows is veteran teacher,
having taught over 100 terms, many
of which were in the city of Portland
and Massachusetts cities. Although
she began work as teacher many years
ago. she has kept pace with the times
and her methods are quite up to date
with modern teachers. She interested
the men in the district to grade AMI
gravel the school yard and now in
stead of mud after every little rain
the pupils have dry yard in which
to play. They have put out trees and
vines to improve the looks Of the
grounds.

Y. M. C.. A. NOTES

The association has made arrange
ments with the Y. w. C. A. of Colby
College whereby on Tuesday, Nov. II,
the latter organization will be present
at the building for the purpose of
grouping the lady members of the as
ISOLATION along Y. w. c. A. lines and
assist them in organizing branches of
work other than that of the gym.
classes. The matter was submitted to
the Colby Y. w. C. A. through it's
president, Helen NJ Hanson, the
daughter of Associate Justice George
M. Hanson of Calais, and was favora-
bly, acted upon by the advisory COM
mittee of its association. The plan
involves a means by which the lady
members of the local organization may
be permitted to extend their endeav-
ors in similar way to that which is
allowed the gentlemen members
through the secretaryships, upon whose
initiative such extension is largely de-
pendent. The idea contemplated is of
holding regular meetings each Tuesday
at which those lady members who
choose will be welcome to attend. At
each Of these regular meetings there
will be in attendance two ladies who
will conduct talk, Bible class, a
discussion or a lecture. 1t is expected
that two meetings will be necessary,
each Tuesday evening, to accommodate
the members of either of the ladies'
gym. classes held that evening, the
first to be held at 730 for the benefit
of the members of the $50 gym class
and the second to be held at $50 at
which time the members of the I
o'clock gym. class will be free to at
tend. The central motive of the whole
idea is that organization of this de-
partment along Y. w. C. A. lines, to
form a union among the lady members
similar to that among the gentlemen
members with similar privileges, in
brief, a Y. w. C. A. in Y. M. c. A.
building.

career thus far has been by no means
in accord with the regular course of

in business before he entered college,
which is the reverse of the usual order.
His college course was marked by ir-
regularities, having been student
at Colby and at Bowdoin and gradu
ating from st. Lawrence University.
His student days We're marked by
participation in track sports and an
active interest in musical clubs. Since
then the ministry has been Mr.. Hay
nes' field of labor. He has come from
New York state to Maine. What he
has to say should prove of value and
a big crowd of boys is expected.

HONESTY AND EFFICIENCY

OF scientific public service for The
things which their oEeials do. Ar.
Henry Bruere. city chamberlain Of
SeK YORK. states the case plainly
and fcrcibEy IN these words.
The new sentiment Is demanding
honesty. but It Is demanding more
than that il Is demanding It's full
moneys worth. Not cniy must there

waste
And not only must there be ns
stealing and no waste. bat there must
be intelligent expenditure that Is
the people do not shy az giving VI
their money. They give it cheerfuily
but they demand results.
In these days the government
which stole nothing and sased much
but which did not deliver TO the REQ

an improving city, would be open &
Just criticism and would get it.
Honesty and efficiency these are
the keynotes OF satisfactory city GOV
