YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN AssO-
CITATION AND THE COUNTRY BOY.

The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation is addressing itself to the help
ing of young men and boys in COM
munities too small for the city type
of organization in very aggressive
and systematical way. The Inter
state Committee of Maryland, Della
ware and theD istrict Of Columbia is
promoting this kind Of activity,
which is known as the County Young
Mems Christian Association. The
communities of a county, exclusive
Of the cities Of sufficient size and
financial strength to maintain city
association with expensive building,
equipment and employed officers,
constitutes the unit of the County
Association, employing high grade
experienced County Secretary to di.
rect, supervise and promote associa-
ton work along lines commensurate
with community's available equip
ment and leadership among its young
men. The modern good roads, tclc-
phones and methods of travel make
possible for the County Secretary to
efficiently handle the work of the en-
tire country, as has been demonstrate
ed in the fifty or more mites now
organized with a total membership of
upwards of twenty thousand men and
boys, all of which has developed with
in the last ten years. The methods
are intensely practical-instcad Of
trying to force the country young
men and boys into city mold. it
conducts program of menta phys
ical, social and spiritual aetivities
which are appropriate to country
conditions.
But the County Association does
other activities than those within the
con fines of its couhty-it follows the
individual leaving his home in the
country to the city and elsewhere,
whether for school, business or what
sOever, through it's corresponding
membership system which secures in
each country community. as far as
practicable, a Christian business or
professional man as q CORES ponding
member of the Interstate Committee,
in turn, places this information with
the Association in the city to which
he goes; and if there is no association,
in the hands of some Christian man
who will find pleasure in being what
ever help possible to the young man.
1t requires no active imagination to
realize in part, at least, what it means
to such a young man to have some
cheerful fellow call on him, eager and
willing to make friendships, and lend
a helping hand, assisting him in To-
eating in respectable boarding house
within his means, and placing him
in touch with other full of life" fell
lows of the right kind, and bringing
him to a we'll lighted association
building with cheerful reading and
social rooms, gymnasium, study clubs
and dozen other things, and intro
ducing him to the employed secretary
who will help him in his needs-per-
chance it may be the securing of the
job for which he, has so longed. This
is the kind of work which instead of
helping boys to Break Home Ties"
helps them to preserve them.

Horse Industry.

Horse breeders, owners, dealers
and trainers of the States are feel
ing quite comfortable over the
adoption of the reciprocity treaty
with Canada by the Senate and now
if the Canadian Parliament will up
and do likewise horse interests be-
tween the two countries will surely
reach a stage beyond the eXpecta-
tons of those who we're in favor of
the treaty and calm the fears of
those who regarded it with disfavor.
With the expense and annoyance of
the duty removed on horses, trade
is bound to increase rapidly not
only to the immediate profit of
those engaged in the business, but
to a vast improvement and enlarge
ment of the breeding industry of
both countries.
A great trade is opening up in
the Canadian Northwest which has
been increasing gradually for the
past five years, even with the
burdensOme restrictions in force.
! With these removed, trade will only
be limited by the supply. Hundreds
of good brood-mares have been
shipped into the Saskatchewan
country and other sections of the
rapidly growing northwest have
bought largely, to say nothing OF
the older portions of the Dominion
No matter what else the treaty
will benefit, the reciprocal trade ii
horses looks mighty promising

didn't you let the other cheap
skate work That sounds all right
in crowd on the street when the
mercury is dancing around the
hundred mark, but in the long run
through this vale of tears it won't
get you anywhere. You will have
to pass up to many lunch counters
as you wander down the highway.
You will be forced to sit on the
trucks at the depot and watch the
other fellow start on his vacation
journey to the land of cooling
breezes and sunshine. You will
have to look over your stock of old
clothes and pick out the best suit
and have it pressed up and repair
ed instead of springing a new suit
in the gay Easter days. You have
set your price too high for l notice
that you loaf around most of the
time. The fellow who works for
two dollars when he can't get four
is the fellow who is now eating
regularly, taking trips and wearing
glad rags. He was so willing to
work for two dollars day that the
bosses began to notice him and
were glad to give him four because
he delivered the goods. If you will
take a tumble to yourself and get
busy possibly you will some day
get your price.-Ex.
