NEW YEAR’S DAY
Another year passed over—gone,
Hope beaming with the new;
Thus move we on—forever on,
The many and the few.
The many of our childhood’s days,
Growing fewer one by one,
Till death, in duel with each life,
Proclaims the last is gone.
| !_*• —Thomas O’Hagan.
* * * *
Another year! another year!
The unceasing rush of time sweeps
on;
Whelm’d in its surges, disappears,
Mans hopes and fears, forever gone

BUDGET AND INSURANCE
(Article Three)
‘ >*• 8 *
The greatest impediment that wo- i
men have to face in their club work
is lack of funds. Ways and means
have been a problem since the first
meeting of the first club and still the
need persists. So it behooves us to
study the question of financies from
the other side, that of handling the
funds possessed. The budget is the j
best solution of this enigma. By its ,
aid we are able to use what we have
to the very best advantage, paying
our obligations and expending the (
balance where it will do the greatest
possible good. |
A club budget is started in exactly
the same manner as a family budget,
and uses the same plan with the ex
i ception of the name of the savings
column. A club is not a money-mak
j ing venture, so it does not work to
merely save but for some particular
thing as to increase the “Club House
i Fund” or “Swimming Pool Fund.” i
This system will show a club exactly ‘
how far she can go on her sure in- 1
i come and will stimulate an interest t
{in raising money for proposed work. 1
j Take an inventory of club property
and list income which may be derived
therefrom and expenses in the way
1 of taxes, interest, improvements, etc. (
j Figure the amount of dues that is ,
* expected to be paid in and estimate
! revenue from other sources judging '
from past years taking into consider
-1 ation an increased membership list, j
Add to this amount the balance on 1
hand. I
Now for disbursements. The first <
j thing a club wishes to do is to pay ;
! her dues so that she will have the
j proper representation at conventions
; and be a self-respecting club in which
j its njembers can take pride. General
1 and state dues for per capita clubs
l are thirty cents per and $3.50 for
, affiliated clubs. In most districts the
j fee is one dollar a year. |
! All clubs, excepting of coarse those j
. that have paid in full, are liable for
seventy-five cents per capita to be j
1 paid to the Ella F. W’hite Endowment, j
This amount may be paid at one time .
or in three payments if the club so 1
desires. ~ ' *j -
Tallulah Maintenance is- appor
tioned By districts. The chairman will >
notify each club of the amount of its I
i part. |
The “local causes” will vary in ,
each case but let us make an example |
of a very simple plan. We will not i
make columns for the expense items |
will not be so many as in the family.
Suppose a club house to be the “big 1
thing” that the club is striving for.
Then catalogue the cost of year
books, material for musical and liter
ary papers, scholarships, books for
library, shrubs for grounds, etc.
** -
Our “mpdel” club is in a small town
and has fifty members. The tenta
tive outline'follows:
Balance on hand SB.OO
Dues ($3 per year) 150.00
Revenue from carnival, bazaar,
etc 350.00
Total $528.00
Dues $16.00
Ella F. White En 37.50
Tallulah Maintenance 30.00
Donations
Students Aid & Economics .... 10.00
Headquarters 2.00
Total $95.50
Available for local work $432.50
Year books and materials 35.00
Scholarship 50.00
Boooks for library 35.00
Community service 40.00
Rent, taxes, cleaning 30.00
Shower for Rambo Library
at Alto (donated); Linens for
Hospital (donated); Christmas
boxes to Sanitarium and Sol
diers (donated) 180.00
For Club House 252.00
Subscriptions 500.00
Total $752.00
Can you not see at once the value !
of having such a plan? Isn’t it in
spiring to feel that the general obli
gations can be met with a great deal
left to finance worthwhile local
causes? And if there is a goal to
reach does not the mark become more
interesting and important? Present
such a plan to any club and see how
quickly the members respond to its
demands.

RELAYED TELEPHONE
CALLS TO ROOSEVELT
The first telephone subscriber !n
Oyster Bay, Long Island, Andrew
Snouder, died this pa3t summer.
He was the proprietor of uhe Cor
ner Drugstore, and it was in his
Btore that Oyster Bay’s first tele
phone was installed during tho
year 1884.
When the late Theodore Roose
velt v„s running for governor of
New York state in 1393, the tele
phone had not yet come into such
general use as it has today, and
even the Roosevelt home at Saga
more Hill was without a telephone.
However, during the campaign,
there were many messages that
were sent to the Republican can
didate by telephone. These usual
ly were received by Mr. Snouder
at the drugstore and were relayed
by him to Colonel Roosevelt at
Sagamore Hill, the messages being
carried by Arthur Snouder, son of
the drugstore proprietor. <.
Telephone Indispensable
r„.
The telephone * * * ha.< t
proved to be, of all the inven
tions made in the nineteenth :
century, the one that most
changed and affected the con- j
duct of human life.
In a country like the United
States, where the telephone has >
been widely utilized, it is hard
to realize that not so many
years ago this means of cheap,
instant and convenient commu
nication at any distance was un- f
known. Its abolition now would
come near to wrecking us all
and we should feel as if we had
been set back in the Dark Ages.
