 1 The April meeting of the Ladies' auxiliary of the Y, M. c. A. was held at oldelms. the home of Mrs. Leonard Smith, on Tuesday afternoon.
 Before, offering prayer. Edwin Hill, tthe local secretary, made a brief speech in which he likened our national situa- tion to that of the children of Israel, fgreat>afmy of the Midianites, and won because God was on their side. The measure Of our victory is determined 1 by the extent of our loyalty. One with God makes a majority. s l The secretaTy's and treaSyrer's re- ports were read by Mrs. H. L. Stanton and Mrs. Edwin ". Higgins.
 l Mrs. Allyn L. Brown, the president, then spoke of the proposed rummage sale to be held this month. At the sale 1t is hoped to raise 8 geodly sum towards the amount of s5,0ee pledged Eby the auxiliary for the new Y. M. c. yided up Snte sections and automobiles will call at any house for articles to be given this sale.
 Mrs. Edwin w. Higgins then spoke of the fact that as the auxiliary had not yet paid anything towards their promised pledge of $S,o00 1t had been decided to make start by using the plan of human calendar that is, as there are nearly as many women members as there. are days in the year, each one might contribute some thing towards the fund. The plan is to get donations of Sl0 from F ladies tsix of which have already been given voluntarily to represent thea12 months of the year; se from 52 more members representing the week. and 8 from 36o members, representing the days oi the year. This would bring the sum up considerably. It is further planned that those giving the g donations wifi have the privilege of a free ride to Hartford at any time during the sum Imer when they may wish to go. Auto mobiles for the purpose of these rides are to be loaned by various towns people and the chairman of this com mittee, Mrs. Albert Riese, will on ap-
 plication arrange congenial and pleas ant parties to go together.
 Mrs. Brown next introduced a four
 minute speaker, Mrs. Frank A. Mitch
 ell, who spoke in most instructive
 and entertaining way on the exigency
 Of the third Liberty loan The Lib, erty loan is distinctly not a gift ol
 contribution, but 8 well placed invest ment paying If per cent. Its origif arose from the great need of providin. |. for our soldiers and sailors, buYins 5 the necessities of life for them ant their families, building transports, ant } purchasing foodsSuffs, also being loan
 ed for the same purposes to our al lies. It has most economic, prac tical side, for all this money is spen in our own country and will come bacl ito us industrially through the ordinar,
 channels of commerce.
 .l These bonds are purchased as ou
 emergency force to be used in enler lgency demands, not for self aggraI1 dfzement but for protection, and i t behooves us to do our limit to hell 7 towards the winning of the war. W, must give till it hurts and then
 give.
 Womens organizations did valuabi work in floating the second Libert,
 loan; in our state alone the wonel 3 were responsible for $41,ooo, ,00a.. Suci ' work has it's educational side and i | or great value to women, developin; their efficiency and emphasizing thei ] patriotism. You can't do work lik this without experiencing it's refle 2 action on yourself. It is a great cl1anc ! for women to take their places in til financial affairs of the country, to het T the government. But besides buyin and selling Liberty bonds we mus leonserve in our own personal expendi ? lures, purchasing only the things tha
 are absolutely. necessary. refusing oGs = lseives the luxury of materials and tim y needed by the government and tur1lin e all non- essentials over as a ciyifia y contrtDutlon towards ending the wa 8 While bank men have not yet ha al final instructions about the condition t for the third loan, it is known tha d there is to be a sinking fund to fur tt ther the. protection of this new fssu

 e Mrs. Brown stated that the Woman tt auxiliary have, planned to purchase d Sl,000 Liberty bond to give the Y. X g z. A. as part of their indebtedness
 towards the new building fund. Sh

 MT. Hill spoke briefly of the spIen -' did characteristics both as a man aT,

 Lieut. Olsen of the submarine bas
 who was the guest Of the auxfIiarv $ l. their March meeting. and whose sud j. den death from pneumenia came as e great shock ten days later. Lie,, II Olsen had worked up from the ranl e and became a man of authority abot
