The compilation made in the Mill
tia Bureau at the end of January
furnishes information which is not
satisfactory to the Militia Bureau
The aggregate strength of the Guard
as shown at the end of December
was 13S,S62. This is a gain CT 1907
for the month, during which 90 units
were extended federal recognition. If
the new organizations averaged a
strength of so per unit, the increase
would have been 1900. 1t is OBJ
served the increase has been 1907,
therefore there must have beer a loss
in the strength of the old units of at
least 993.
whenever organizations of the
National Guard fail to comply with
the law and the regulations of the
the law, there is but one course left
open for the Militia Bureau to follow
For this reason, the Militia Bureau is
compelled to invite the attention OF
the adjutant general to the fact that
the enlisted personnel of old organi-
cations should be on the increase and
not on the decrease and that within
six months after federal recognition
has been extended to units with a
strength of so, each unit should have
an enlisted strength of not less than
65, provided the strength for similar
units for the regular army is equal
to or greater than 65.
1T is expected that no further ac-
ton than this of calling the attention
Of the adjutant general to this fall
ing off in strength will be required Of
the Militia Bureau.

The Woman's Hospital Aid, which
has just closed a very successful
year starts out on the new year with
every hope for IT'LL buster one and
with many plans for the future good
of the Waldo County General hospi-
tai for which it works. With the re-
election of Mrs. Cecil Clay as presi-
dent, her third consecutive year, and

that much can be accomplished by
systematic team work. A series of
card parties beginning this week
Thursday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. H. H. Carter, chairman of the
card committee. is one of the ways
decided upon to earn funds. These
parties will be held every other

the winter. 1t is also planned to give
a ball in the Armory on st. Patrick
Day, and a large card party in Memo
rial hall in April. During the third
week in July a fair and ball will be
given in the Armory. Last summer
$500 was netted from the fair.

Julia McKeen Ferguson, who has
served in this capacity for some 20
years, is as follows: Cash on hand
