the pledges of the thirty-two team

response of all those solicited and the
splendid way in which farmers Of the
county contributed. The latter sub

Economy to Be the Rule.
General Secretary John B. North
colt. who has worked with the debt
hanging over him for more than two
years, was above all others interested
and pleased at the result. With the
building now In excellent condition be-
cause Of repairs that have been made
in the last year. he guaranteed that
operating expenses were to be kept to
the minimum. The paying Of the notes
securing the debts Of $4,000. which
includes the $4,000 the building COM
mittee assumes, will reduce the MAIN
tenance charge more than 1.40o of in
terest year by the last of this year
He said economy was to be the rule for
the period of the war. and that the as
ISOLATION would not attempt to keep
up its usual program of activities ex-
cept in the boys department. The
association is without boys secretary
and will soon be without physical
director. Neither will probably be en-
ployed until fall, il even they can be
secured. as such men are very hard
to get now In the meantime high
school boys who have had training in
boys work at the association will be
in charge Of that department, under
the personal direction Of Mr.. North
colt and the physical department work.
