The rooms for the work will be lo cated in the new county head 011 art ers in the old Security Bank Building. snorts in the afternoon and a dance at night. A report comes from state head quarters to the effect that Haa kon county has established an other record for itself in con nection with the second war fund drive. Our apportionment was $1.r00. We exceeded the allotment nearly 200 per cent by raising nearly $4500. This^ was the b( st percentage showing of nny county in the state. We no tice that the amount -was larger than the amount subscribed by Huerhes county to the east of or Pennington county on the west. Our county commissioners have not been asked to contri bute from county funds to Red Cross work though this arrange ment has been made in other counties. They have agreed,how ever, to help the chapter in rent ing and arranging county headquarters at Philip. We now luave eighteen branches in the county, most of Which re ceive and make their shipments through the county headquar ters. The old headquarters have grown too small. More than this it was desired to start work in surgical dressing and there was no room for this in the build ing occupied at the present time. Consequently the two first floor rooms in the Security Bank buil ding at Philip will be rented for the new headquarters.

A letter of criticism comes from the inspection department of the northern division head quarters concerning1 our May shipment and inasmuch as it is entirely justified we have decid ed to pass it along. Philip work ers spent more than the usual a mount of time in shaping up this shipment. In one instance a lady took home with her a dozen bed shirts and resewed nearly all the seams. Two other workers spent two afternoons ironing a'at ns and pressing garments. This simply means that some of the individu al workers are not careful with their work. They are probably aiming ait a large quantity rath er than the quality of what they do. They may not realize either, that the garments should leave their hands in condition to be delivered to the hospital in France without further work. A little more care in this eon work the Philip headquarters and criticism from Minneapolis. Thai are several points I wish to call your attention to. Tn one case you listed 10 hospital bed shirts and on these the sewing was not done as well as we would like to have it. and the shirts were not pressed and some of them were a little bit soiled. We want everything that comes in here to be in con dition to be sent immediately to the other side and when gar ments are soiled, it necessitates our having them launderPd here We are sure that you do not wish to put the inspection de partment to this unnecessary work and that in future the garments will come in clean, neatly pressed and folded as nearly ll%xlli/ possihle.The knitting of the double heel has been discontinued now and am sending you our instructions for socks with knitting chart, which know will be of service to you in inspecting knitting in the future. In folding the pajama suits, do not fold the coat and trousers separately but fold them together in one pack age. Thanking you for this shipment. Yours very truly. Elsie H.

A COMMUNICATION TRENCH Most people have heard of Gipsy Smith and how he has been in the trenches with the allied soldiers in France, and is now in this country working in the interests of the Y. M. C. A. Following are some quotations from recent speeches. "A score of London journalists have asked me on my return from France, 'What is to be the attiude of he Y. M. C. A. to he churches?" And 1 replied, "A communication trench.", And that is what it will be if you have sense to make it that. Don't be jealous of It. You never knew the sun to be jealous of the clover field in bloom. Why, the sunshine is to rake all these things possible, and the church of God ex ists to send forth such movements as the Y. M. C. A. in ever increasing streams of beneficent ministry." "Two hundred Y. M. C. A. huts were under sbellfire when I left the bat tle lines in France. Some of them were in the dugouts and in the trench es, right in the trenches. We have centers in Mesapotamia, in Egypt, in Palestine. Wherever the allied forces go we have these hut*. Jerusalem had not been captured five hours before we hd a hut there." "What do we do in these huts? Why a Y. M. C. A hut is a church, a cathe dral, a club, a home away from home, a canteen, a refreshment room, a li brary, a recreation room, a game room, and a reading room." Gipsy Smith says that 300,000 Brit ish officers and men have been won to Christ by the Y. M. C. A. workers since the war began. He says that the soldier boys are fifing arms, legs, eyM, everything even life for liberty and righteousness, and that it is the duty of the rest of us to give every thlng possible that wUl help win the war.
