bership and the many lengthy waiting
lists of those desiring to join clearly
testify. Golf particularly has secured
a decided prominence and the profit

has made 1t incumbent on the officials
of the United States Golf Association
to confine the entries for national

Records for January, 1914, in the Postal Savings department at the To- cal postoffice disclose arge in- crease in deposits with less money withdrawn. Analysis of the reports shows that the east side of the city is beating the west side in saving money, and that the town of Stratford has almost depleted it's savings, though, it is said by outside sources of information, to many recent fights and consequent arrests.
 At the main office, reports for the month ending, January 31. show that #61 new accounts have been opened against 53 closed.

 m ent for the benefit of the Public Ldb- rary and other deserving institutions in town will take place at the Beach Mem oriaI Library auditorium, Feb. IA, in the evening, under the auspices of the Misses May Hoyt and Elsie Ferris. The particular feature to be consider ed by its patrons is size; as the rate of admission will entirely overlook beauty and ensemble or age, but will be based entirely on this schedu1es Four cents admission will be charged for every patron who is four feet and two inches high, and one cent extra for each and every inch in height above this minimum. The King of Hearts will preside at the gates of this Paradise and will welcome all where all the Ewes are already assem- bled. Now this seems like an easy proposition, but There is a reason z as the Battle Creek Man has said, to show that this scheme ought to result in benefit for these meritorious popu- lar benedciarfes of the project Vaau- ables prizes have been provided by the patronesses for the whist tables winners, and refreshments will be served during the evening.
