The financial commit- tee has rendered wonderful assistance in tho Liberty Loan campaigns. The women's committeo aids the women of foreign birth in ways of s food and to prevent waste. Tho tation committee provides the hospital supplies and look of the men in the camps. The fuel com- mittee i{s the best known committeo of the council.
