The Rotary club held its regular weekly meeting Wednesday noon. The music consisted of two exeellently rendered solos by William Wheaton, and Rotary songs led by the song director, C. D. Sharpe. Plans were announced for Ladies' night to be held before Christmas in Elkis hal The club will have its annual Christ. mas tree at this time. Also the com mittee in charge of the community Christmas tree gave s report of their progress to date.
 The program of the meeting consist ed of a series of short talks by four Rotary members on the coal and fuel question. The talks were followed by a discussion on that subject.
 Secretary Henry Lyon, the first speaker, said the only way to gel around the coal question was to burr wood, for it was pleasing to burn as we'll as very efficient and easily ob- tained in this section of New England and if one would take the opportunity and order the wood unsplit it would afford a little exercise.
 Fred Prince spoke in behalf Of soft coal. stating that it was cheaper and A higher temperature could be ob- tained by 1t and in less time than with any other fuel.
 President Ralph Jenkins made the statement that about third of hard coal mixed with two-thirds of gra' phite eosl was much bette. than . ss- tal fire of anthracite coal.
 William Wheaton spoke at lengtf on the high degree of efficiency that can be obtained from the use of fur. mace oil. He stated that an unvary' ing temperature can be had wher burning oil with no work whatsoever for the operator and that II is already proving itself to be the coming heater fuel

Both teams were strong on the defensive, with good passwork. making long shots necessary. Consequently the Wood stock players. who were much more skillful in caging goals at distance, had a decided advantage over their opponents, who have not as yet at. tained to the high degree of accura y that they will have later.
