these cannot be taken care of except

people during the cold weather. Many
men are out of work and immediate
relief is necessary. I have at the pres
ent time family, the wife and child Of
which has to stay in bed to keep warm
while the husband is out hunting work.
Ihere are many other cases where
small amounts of fuel have to be pro-
vided.
For all this we need funds. The 81
are being subscribed very
slowly. So far we have only received
ABOUT sixty-five, whereas we expected
to secure 1000. We simply must get
the people to assist us as this is the

IN SPITE OF BOOM CONDITIONS
IN MEMBERSHIP, THE AssocIA-
TON FACES A pEFIcIT-HoPED
THAT IT WILL BE RAISED IN Al
SHORT TIME.

Just at present the Young Mems
Christian association is on the boom.
Yesterday new record in membership
receipts in the history of the associa-
ton was made. All curing last eve
ming the secretaries were kept on the
jump showing men about the building,
answering questions and receiving
members
To The Forum this morning General
Secretary Wolf stated that there was
a decided increase in membership re-
ceipts, both in November and Deem
Der, as over the corresponding months
last year. Secretary Cook is much
elated over the prospects of a big
evening school end stated this morn
ing that 1t looked as though the asso-
citation would have to purchase more
equipment for this department. I'm
der present conditions il would be hard
to care for many more students" said
Mr.. Cook. The physical department
has also made great advances, while
Secretary Goodrich Of the boys de-
partment reported that there were not
able increases in the activities of his
section, due largely, he thought, to the
additional equipment, which has been
installed and to the efforts Of his boys
In securing new members.
Despite these external evidences OF
prosperity, Mr.. Wolf stated that the
association was facing some very SER
ious problems which he thought the
public should know about. zone of the
greatest Of these problems is the $2,5OO
deficit in running expenses" said Mr..
Wolf. This, with the burden OF pay
ments on the building fund, which
many of the young men and citizens
ire carrying, will keep the associa-
ion in the woods and hamper the
work for months to come unless there
s some relief
Mr.. Wolf is of the opinion that a
good many of the citizens feel that with
he new building, the association ought
o be able to take care Of itself when
he facts are there is not department
n the organization but whe. is a los |
ng proposition.
This is not only true in Fargo. but
# every association in the country"
continued the general secretary. "The
sustaining Members club is trying to /
AXE care of the expense deficit and
much has been done along this line. /
