The committee from the Y. M. G.
A met Monday night and canvassed
situation and assessed every man
what they thought would be his part
In the building for the Association.
NO man had placed upon him more
than he can stand, nor more than is
his just part. When the campaign
is begun every man must do his part
subscribe all that is expected Of
him. If any fall down that means
that much Of the fund will have to
be taken, for there is no one to take
the place Of any who renig. This is a
fight for the community, and every
man must do his part.
