tan faith. In brief, Mr.. Burners main
Truth is the first element in charac-
ter building. No liar can possibly be a
man" when a young mans standard
Of purity is the same as the standard
lie sets for his sister, we will have real
men" "One of the great weaknesses
in young men is that they lack self
mastery. 1t is essential to success"
''Indecision is the paralysis of useful
ness. A man can not gain success If
he is not a man of decision" I'VE live
in an age of extravaganza. There is
no waste in the business life, and the
same principles should apply in pri-
vate life. Do not waste time, or prin-
ciple; economy is a necessity" "A
man must get a vision of the possiblli-
ties of life to count for anything. He
needs high ideal The rising pow
er for man is true christian faith"
Is Below Standard.
In responding to the toast. Esprit
de Corps H. B. Hayden told of the
necessity of this spirit to make body
or organization of men successful. In
this connection he introduced the sub
ject of the condition of the associa-
tion's membership. comparing it with
other cities of like size. The percent
age of some of the Y. NJ. C. AS to the
population in nearby cities is: Elgin,
1-3. per cent; Galesburg. % per
cent; Rockford. per cent; Sterling. 3
per cent; Mansfield, 8 per cent The
average is 8 per cent, and this in Rock
Island would mean a membership Of
$50. The membership is not quite 300.
The members were urged to bring the
association up to the standard. and
the immediate result has been stated.

To Procure Temporary Grounds.
II is probable that the new park
will not be finished in time to permit
of the team practicing there, but Mr..
Sexton stated this morning that no
difficulty would be experienced in Sc
curing suitable grounds He spoke of
the race track and the old circus
grounds and the Augustana campus,
any one of which would be satisfac-
tory. He understood that either could
be had for the purposes of the team.
The sound of the hammer can be
heard daily at the new park out on
Eighteenth avenue and Ninth street.

vantage of the springlike weather
and has a force of men at work en-
deavoring TO push the job through to

No Grass Diamond This Year.
The intention is to have a grass
diamond. but another season at least
will necessarily intervene before it will
be possible to bring about this cOndi-
ton. The ground is in a raw state as
yet, having been ploughed and graded
only last fall. There remains some
grading to be done this spring. When
this is finished the outfeld will be
sown with grass seed, but the diamond
will be left bare until fall. when it
will be sodded The following spring
in all likelihood the sod will have
become solidified and there will be a
healthy growth of grass.

to pay for the improvements at the
