The number of men and boys who
are enlisted directly in forwarding
purposes of the organization is now
equal to the enlisted force of the
United States army. One out of
every four college students is on the
rolls and the railroad department Is
within a few thousand members of
the largest railroad brotherhood
in the world. Its educational classes
have eight times as many students
as the largest university in North
America, and its gymnasiums have
three times as many members as the
next largest gymnastic organization.
Its SOS physical departments. If as
sembled, would cover more than 80
acres. Its 1916 swimming pools plac-
ed end to end. would extend more
than a mile, and its bowling alleys
thus placed would stretch out for
more than three miles. The aggre-
gate attendance at all the associa-
tions for the year is equal to one-half
the population OF North America.
Sixty-four new buildings have been
occupied by the associations in the
last year. the cost of which exceeded
100000. The associations have
l$16,70O,000 in hand and pledged for
new buildings-the largest sum they
have ever reported for such a pur-
pose. These structures will be erect
ed and opened in the coming two
years in more than 100 cities, college
and railroad points, army posts and
naval stations. Nearly $1,000.O00
has been PLEDGED by American as
sociations ana members for head
quarters for associations in the great
capitals and commercial centers in
the far East. The net property of
the association now aggregates more
placed side by side, would fill 100
city blocks. and the dormitories of
the associations, II brought together,
would make four hotels with as
many rooms as the Waldorf-Astoria.
The associations summer recreation
camp would, II assembled, make n
great camp equal to 10 national
guard state encampments of 1000
men each.
The associations spent for their
work in the last year 5000. 900, and
for their international, state and pro-
vincial committees work of super
vision and extension $4,000 more
Among the notable features of the
year have been the extension to the
movement in Panama, where four

States government are directed by
12 association secretaries. and the
movement for the betterment of the
foreign-speaking men who are met
by representatives of the associations
at the ports of entry. Among for
eigners organizations have been -es-
tablished in the mining regions, lum-
ber camps and quarry and mill towns.
There have been Is new railroad
association buildings and large addi-
tions added during the year, costing
$G0S.000. making IT'S buildings oc-
cupied by this branch alone. costing
$3,500,000. Most of these buildings
are erected on railroad property, the
companies giving about one-third of
the cost and maintenance, and the
railroad men the balance. These
three items show how much the rail-
road men appreciate their rooms at
division points. In the last year their
beds were used 100000 times. the
baths 100000, and more than A.
100000 lunches and meals served

Utah. practically the entire male
population of the town are members.
The aggregate attendance for the
year at the branches devoted to the
army and navy men is IL times the
enlisted force of the army and mar
inc corps. More than 100000 is be-
ing expended for new buildings for
these branches.
Figures show that as great an in
crease and adaptation of the assoc
iation has been made to meet the
needs of the men In the distinctive
religious field. The aggregate attend
ance for the year at its religious
meetings in North America exceeds
the entire population of the Pacific
slope, including British Columbia
and Alaska. and nearly equals the
New England population. 1t has 92,-
900 students enrolled in its Bible
classes which are conducted almost
everywhere, not only in the associa-
tion buildings, but in such places as
armories, boarding houses. camps,
college halls, club rooms, docks, en-
gine houses, fraternity houses, farm
houses, fire stations, freight sheds,
hotels. jails. lawns, mines, offices.
parlors, railway depots, street-car
barns, ships, shops, schools, work
mems homes, woods.
The employment department have
been rapidly developing in their eff
ficiency In the past year. Positions
paying salaries of $14 500, 900 yearly
We're found for men and boys.
The association may Justly be call
ed n cosmopolitan, International. In
terdenominational as well as nat
ional corporation and industrial
brotherhood. 1t Is cosmopolitan. No
one class makes up its membership
or defines its field, which is from the
street boy to the bank president. II
is International. single city organiza-
tions include 80 nationalities, and 1t
is worldwide. 1t is workably unde-
nominational. for men of every
church who would help their fellows
find here that they can work to-
gether, and 1t gives the fundamental
message of Christianity. The gov
ernment. as well as the railroads and
great corporations, finds that its
work and its gospel is good for the
health, happiness and honesty of its
men. as has been shown in the army,
on the canal zone, in mill towns,
mines. quarries and lumber camps.
While individuals have taken re-
sponsibility, backing a department or
the movement IN a lOrelsH CITY VI en-
tire country. at the personal expenil-
ture of days of care and thousands
of dollars, boys with equal devotion
have carried their load of RESPONSE
billty in their schools or among their
fellow apprentices. In that spirit the
work moves forward. This unor-
dained ministry, consecrated to tasks
equal to the powers of the man ana
boy, is assumed throughout It's ranks.
and from these servants" the church
and the world Is receiving a perma-
nent ministry.
The time has certainly come to
cease regarding the Young Mems
Christian association as weak instl-
tuition located in part of the city to
deal with a fraction of the man prob
lem of the entire city. In some cases,
more than 40 per cent of the male
population between the ages of 20
and sc are enlisted in the member
hip. The Influence of such an as
sociaticn Is therefore eXerted through
tha membership of practically all the
men of the community.

Shows Him Your Paper.

A farmer living in Miami county.
Indiana. found a gang of men put
ting up telephone poles through his
best field. He ordered the men out,
but they would not go, showing him
a legal document which they claimed
gave them authority to build the line
wherever they pleased. The old man
looked at the paper. thought It was
lawful. and walked silently away.
He went to the barn and turned a
savage bull into the field. The bull
made for the men and they fled at
top speed. while the farmer shouted
after them: "Show him your paper,
show him your paper," This story
would seem to prove that sometimes
1t is an advantage not to know how
to read. Though the bulls educa-
ton had been neglected, he did his
work effectively and it is hardly like
ly that the telephone people will pro-
ceed against him for assault and bat
terry with intent.-Found Floating

THIEVES MAKE
9Th CALL
ON FRANK ROSENQUEST- DIDN'T
GET MUCH FOR TdElR TROU-
BILE NO CLUE

Last night for the sixth time since
Frank RosenQuest has been in busi-
ness in Chickasha his meat market
was broken into by thieves. This
morning the screen and back door
were both found unlocked, with a
hole cut in each, throug which hand
could reach and unfasten them.
The robbers carried away very little,
only a flw dollars in change which was
in the cash register and three boxes
OF cigars being missing, as far as
was discovered this morning. The
safe was untouched.
Mr.. Rosenquest thinks that the work
was done by small boys although there
is no clue. He says these petty rob
berries have occurred annually for the
past five or Six years, and although
the thieves are always considerate
and not at all greedy, it is becoming
annoying.
