This is the very best financial re-
port the league has ever had and was
received with long and continued ap-
plause. Next followed the reports of
committees. AS the winter season.
closes all outdoor activities, there
were no reports and the time given to
the hearing of those reports was given
to the passing of literature and dis
cusSing methods by which the Thrift
Campaign, beginning Monday, January
18th, might be carried out Miss Fan
ME McGirr was named as thrift chair
man. A letter from Miss Bessie FitZ-
gerald, chairman of music for federat-
ed WOmen'S clubs, was read urging
the league to have at least one after
noon year given to the singing Of
folk songs. This was adopted and Miss
Anna ShriVer was named as chairman
Other letters were read, but were laid
upon the table. January is the month
for the election of officers and as the
president, Mrs. D. F. Shipley, had sub
mitted in writing her resignation from
that office at the December meeting a
report from the nominating commit
tee, Mrs. George Mather as chairman,
was asked for. Mrs. Mather's report:
President, Mrs. ]. S. Myers; Secretary,
Mrs. Martha Shaw; Treasurer, Mrs.
Morris Mitten. -,
AS the names we're read there was
continued applause and every lady
rose to her feet and gave the newly
appointed officers the Chautauqua sa-
Lutte. Then in a few remarks the re-
tiring president thanked the members
of the league for their hearty support
and splendid cooperation during her
term Of office and asked that the same
kindly feeling, good fellowship and
support be given Mrs. Myers, and re-
signed the chair Mrs. Myers, very
modestly said she did not know
which she felt most sorry for the

thought there was sufficient oil and
