like your nerve. Wenatchee is the
largest town of it's size in the world,
as far as I know" After comment
ing further on the wonderful growth
he had noted in the city and its sur
roundings, he said, while am not
doctor, / fear you are in danger
of getting applecitis-that you will
get to know more about apples than
you do about your own boys. You
people will be operated on in the
most sensitive part of your anatomy
during the next week-your pocket
books. | know of no mistake more
commonly made than to undervalue
the human element in society. 1t
takes big men to handle big re-
sources. 1t is the size of your men,
not the size of your apples or your
buildings, that will determine the
real size of your town" Mr.. Allen
spoke at length Of the needs of the
Young Mems Christian Association
as clearly pointed out by the condi-
lions as they are found in modern
city life. The forces that operate to
pull young men down most strongly
are the destructive forces, while the
uplifting forces in the community
like the home, the day and Sunday
schools and the church, are weakest
where they touch the lives of young
men.
The plan of the campaign was then
announced by State Secretary Will
cox, who will manage its details for
the local executive committee, and
the banqueters adjourned.
Later in the evening, the workers
held a meeting and selected the
names of the people whom they will
see to ask for subscriptions to the
building fund. Everybody in the val
ley may be expected to be called on.
The work will be done very system
atically, and it is expected that by
the night of the 2Sth the full amount
of $4,000 will have been secured.
The headquarters Of the cam
paign will be at the Commercial
Club. Lunch will be served to the
workers every day at noon, when re-
ports will be made. While these
lunches are primarily for those who
are doing the soliciting, any who are
interested will be welcomed. The
ladies of the different churches will
serve, the price being 35 cents, as in
the case of the commercial club
lunch every Tuesday. The club will
hold its meeting next Tuesday, COM
bining with the Y. NJ. G. A. workers
on that day. A telephone has been
installed for use of the workers in
the canvass, its number being 1872.

COMING WEST IN
PRIVATE CAR
e. NJ. ELLIOTT WRITES THAT HE
AND PARTY OF CHICAGO BUSI-
NESS MEN WILL BE HERE ON
JUNE 4.

The Daily World is in receipt of a
letter from E. NJ Elliott, of Chicago,
in which he states that he has char
tered a car for the first day of June
and will arrive in Wenatchee with a
party on No l Saturday, June 4.
The party is composed of we'll known
Chicago business men and it is the
intention to look over the Wenatchee
valley and the entire up river coun-
try. Mr.. Elliott writes that he has
disposed of nearly 800 acres of Met
how valley property and so far this
month he has made 81 sales, and
has sent 81 people to Wenatchee and
up-river points. In his letter Mr..
Elliott states that the success of his
organization in Chicago is depend
ent a good deal on the courtesy of
the Great Northern railroad.
Exhibits in the ticket window at
22O Clark street have done wonders
for us and I think it is up to We
natchee to keep this exhibit supplied
with fruit.
"Of course the Great Northern
railroad would not ask you for con-
tribution, but at the same time the
writer knows their apple supply is
largely depleted, and were you to
send to them, as a commercial club,
your choicest fruit for exhibit pur-
poses, I am lead to believe it would
be gratefully received.
"The courtesy your city has ex-
tended to various Great Northern
immigration men has done a great
deal for you Several of Mr.. Leedy's
assistants who have recently been
through your city, have come back
and are very much enthused with
the possibilities of Wenatchee and
north central Washington, and after
seeing this district as they have, you
have added materially to your boost
er organization.
"Please do not infer that I know
absolutely as to whereof / speak
when l refer to apples and the
Great Northern railroad, but I am
sure that were you to write either
Mr.. Leedy or Mr.. Ellison, and advise
the mthat your commercial organ
ization has apples which they would
be willing to supply the Great North
ern railroad for the Chicago exhibit
room, the same would be received
with thanks, and as much can be
said of potatoes, melons, berries and
other things. OF course berries and
melons last but few days, but am
frank to say that a few luscious ber-
ries displayed in their windows and
on their show counters, even though
they lasted but "a hours, their work
has been more than done, inasmuch
as each little exhibit attracts the eye
of a certain individual who is anxious
to grow just such products"

Grand total $11, $50
Many of the leading business men
of Wenatchee sat down to the BAN
quet tables at o'clock. After grace
had been said by Rev. John W. John
son, of the Baptist church, splen-
did menu was served by the ladies
of the Methodist church.
Dr.. D. w. King, chairman of the
citizens committee that will raise the
fund, raped for order after the meal
had been served and called upon
Mayor Gellatly for the first speech.
The mayor endorsed the action be-
. ing taken as to getting the building
for the young men and boys of We
natchee, and called attention to the
fact that nothing that the people of
this city had undertaken up to this
time had failed; hence he predicted
complete success for the present
movement.
w. NJ. Burns, a prominent business
man of Spokane, was next called
upon. Mr.. Burns said that not long
ago when in New York he was intro
duced to lady as coming from Spo-
kane and was Immediately asked,
How far is that from Wenatchee?
Wenatchee, you know, is where our
apples come from" Mr.. Burns
spoke at some length concerning the
history of the Spokane association in
itsf,efforts to get building, result
ing in the recent complete victory,
when in nine days the people of that
city subscribed $4,000 to pay a debt
on the building, this being $1,000
more than was asked for. He spoke
of the leading business men of Spo-
kane who had put their time into
the canvass ana had been glad to do
it in view of the great Importance
of the work and the value placed
upon it by all the people of Spokane.
Mr.. Burns also spoke of the breadth
of the association, taking into its
membership as it does men of all
classes and creeds and men of no
creed. Its breadth of outlook and
sympathy, he said, is what commends
it so well to the people of all the
world.
w. T. Clark was next introduced
Mr.. Clark said that the proposed
Wenatchee Y. NJ. C. A. should be
eminently a social organization.
where young men could go and have
fun-and lots of it-clean, recreat-
ing fun. He spoke of the tenden-
cies of young men and their need OF
guidance, referring specially to the
fact that they will go away from
home to seek the companionship OF
those of their own age. The Y. NJ
C. A. will afford safe place for
them to meet each other. Mr.. Clark
referred to his experience in help
ing to get the magnificent building
for the association at Billings, where
it was really his influence, though
he did not say so, among the moneyed
men of that city that resulted in Sc
curing the building fund.
Frank B. Utter referred to the
early efforts to get an association in
this city. He said that the w. c.
T. U. reading room had been estab-
lished with the understanding that
it would be a nucleus for Y. NJ. c.
A. He had been holding his re-
sources in reserve all these years so
that when the time might come he
could put his money into Y. NJ. c.
A, which he regarded as the most
important institution that the peo-
pie of the city could now strive for.
A. S. Allen, general secretary OF
the Seattle Y. M. c. A., was next an
nounced. He began by saying, Il

WHY WE GIVE VALENTINES.

Long ago there lived priest named Valen'
tine This good man was noted in all the coun'
try round for his kindness. He nursed the sick
comforted the Borrowing and was always ready
10 give help TO anyone who was In need. Valen-
tine dearly loved the children and those who
went to him for food clothes were never turned
away After this kind priest became too old to
20 among his people he was very sad because he
thought he could longer be Of any help TO
them Then he remembered that he could write
loving messages to the sick and Borrowing. Soon
his friends began to watch for the kind words
that we're sure to come whenever sorrow or Joy
entered their homes Even little children would
say, when they we're sick. Il think Father valen-
tine will send me a letter today
But after time more letters we're re-
eeved and soon the news went abroad that good
old Valentine dead. Then every one said
that such n man was good enough to be called
a saint and since then he has been known as St
Valentine. II not long until people cele-
brated his birthday by sending loving messages
to their friends. The notes and letters contain.
ing these messages were called valentines. This
all happened years ago. but good St Valentine
s still remembered on the fourteenth Of each
February.
