JOHN w. GATES GIVES
ADVICE TO THE YOUNG

GALVESTON, Tex, Dec. 15.-That the
seventh annual conferences of the gulf
division of the Methodist church selected
Port Arthur for a four days meeting
is due largely to the efforts of John
w. Gates, formerly of Chicago. who
practically owns that community. He
was scheduled as one of the principal
speakers.
In selecting subject for discussion
Mr.. Gates chose Speculation and Gam
bling" AND preached against all such
get-rich-quick schemes.
The address was impressive in warn
ing the young churchmen to follow the
straight and narrow path and shun gam
bling in every form from dice to throw
ing to speculating with the markets and
dealing I'm futures.
Mr.. Gates told his audience that 500
earned by honest manual labor was
worth more than $4,000 won at gambling
whether 1t be at stud poker or trying TO
corner the food supply Of the country
by dealing in wheat that had not been
planted
