Tho executive board of tho Associ ated Charities met Inst evening at tho library building for tho purposo of getting tho work better organized, and several different phnses of tho work wore taken up and widely discussed. Tho matter which was talked of most was getting clothes for tho needy chil dren In tho city. The committee has lltted up somo shelves nt tho library building for tho purpose or keeping the clothes In a way so that they can get them handily. Tho clothes are sorted and classified and a record kept of all of thorn. Tho great need now is children's clothes, especially from the ages of two two fourteen years. Re ports were brought in by different members of children who wero In cry ing need offclothing and they have not enough children's clothes to supply tho need. Tho residents of tho city aro all asked to sftvo what children's clothing they havo and to turn them in to thp committee where they will bo repaired and sorted Into tho different classes. Mrs. McKay has been engaged to look after tho repairing and altering" where it need bo done. Tho committee brought In a good re port of the work that has been done thus far. A number of cases have been found where the families are In actual need. An investigation committee is at work each day looking up the cases and proscribing for them where It Is necessary. In some cases the fami lies are worthy ot aid from tho county, but they aro in such destitute circum stances they need food nt onte and In these cases they aro given aid to tide them over and the case is then report ed to tho county officer. In other cases the fathers havo work but thoy' aro in need until they can get money for their work. In all of these enses there are several children in tho family and many of them very young. A committee lias been out this week canvassing the merchants to get mer chandise donated in quantities in which they see lit to give. A largo number of merchants have already made donations and tliero aro a num ber of others yet to be seen. As well as needing clothing in many cases there Is need of food and fuel. The people are asked to get in their donations of clothing, especially for children, as soon as posible, for In csae of a cold snap there will be much need in the city and many children will suf fer from cold. A committee also reported that the organization is doing quite well with Hie finances. A canvass for porsonal nubscriptions was made this week and it resulted In getting over a hun dred dollars. However, tliero is need of much more. In addition to this sev eral of the lodges and other charitable organizations havo reported their of ii rings of money, but in most cases tho money has not yet beon paid in. A committee was appointed at tho nu cling last evening to decide upon what each lodgo would bo assessed. Some time ago a circular letter was sent out to all the organizations ask ing for an expression as to what they intended to do. Tho commltteo decid ed thnt tho better way to go about get ting In this money was to decide upon an assessment from each lodgo and then ask them to mnko an appropria tion of this amount. Tho largo lodges will bo asked to givo moro than the smaller ones and In this way thoy will givo on an oqunl basis and it will work no hardship on any of them.
