The young men referred to are those whO have often, according to their own statements. walked all day looking for work: walking for hours, so long in fact that the soles of their feet ached. That's the kind of young Americans that the Walking" club is seeking. No, it is no joke, there Is not q boy or young man in this section who would remain idle an hour if he could procure the kind of work he liked. How long the Walking" club will last is a question. The MOOnshiners say 1t is doomed for an early death. The original members are said to be William Lallier. Arthur Mcdonald. William Conway. William Dwyer and William Gwilym.
