Y. M. C. A. Building.

A complete city cannot be built in Jones Valley that does not include building for young men. Very hand some subscriptions have already been made toward the erection of an ample Y. M c. A. building, but a considera- ble additional sum Is needed, and the Age-Herald is glad that strong efforts will be made towards aiding this de- serving and needful enterprise.
 As a part of the upbuilding of the town, the patriotic citizen cannot af- ford to ignore this movement. No city can afford to do without a Y. M. c. A. building, simply because no city can afford to turn its average young man over to vile places, The present movement is a movement to give young men a rallying point-a place dn which to spend leisure time at rates within their means. There are club houses, but these are not only high-priced, but they are free and easy in their rules. A Y. M. c. A. building is a popular club house in which no possible harm to morals can occur.
 This town needs such a building, and as a business proposition it can not afford to lose the start that MT. Munger and others have made. The matter is to be decided this season, and it should be decided affirmatively. The building is needed; and now is the time to secure it.
