appointed to devise plans for the proposed
enterprise. There will be a meeting of this
committee tomorrow afternoon at O'Clock
in the Methodist Protestant Church, when
the matter will be discussed Those at the
head of the movement are in communica-
ton with the state secretary of the Y. M.

soon and address mass meeting in the in
terest of a local organization. The COM
