The Woman's Auxiliary of the Jam bes Post held Its regular January meeting in the club rooms on the af ternoon of the seventeenth at three thirty. The meeting was called to order by the Commander. Mrs. G. A. Ricks. Eight members were present. The minutes of the previous meet ing were read and "approved. The Commander read a letter to the Auxiliary from Miss Ida May Yow thanking them for conferring upon her the honor of electing her Adjutant and Finance Officer, yet declining the ofllce on account of prssure of other work. Nominations to All the vacan cy thus created Were called for and Miss Mattie Allen was unanimously elected Adjutant and Finance Officer. The question of yearly dues was brought up for discussion and it was c'early shown that after tho general and state dues had been paid the sum of one dofTar per "member did not le i sn amount sufficient for current ex penses; consequently a motion was made and carried that the yearly due? be increased to one dollar and a half (11.50) per member. It was also an nounced that this year the member cl ip cards will ke sent out from head quarters when the annual report and dues have been received. No mem bership cards will be issue dy Individ ual units as heretofore. The financial report for the year was read as follows: Total amount received from all sources $458.30; to tal paid out for all purposes )240.63; cash "on hand towar I memorial fund $207.67. Some splendid suggestions were made by the Commander for plans to lenew or arouse fresh Interest In the c'.nb. In accordance with these sug gestions the Auxiliary will probably at some future date put on a series of roclal evenings planned to arouse the community spirit. | Mrs. Kicks read a very apprecla jfive letttr of thanks for the Christmas 'box from Mr. Ralph Young, the sol ? iMer from Ward N-2 at Oteen whom H e legion chose as secretary for the *ard. Mrs. Beck suggested that all who are Interested be requosted to (torate books to send to the boys at oteen. There are twenty-two patients In Ward N-2 and the Auxiliary desires that every woman's club, missionary society. or similar organization adopt one of these soldiers until all twenty two names have been taken.
