THE STATE ASSOCIATION CON
vENTioN AT SIOUX FALLS
HOLDS MARCH 3-5
VETERANS SEND PROTEST
Department Commander Writes Lett
err to the Governor Relating
to the Management Of
Soldiers Home

Sioux Falls-The state convention
Of the Young Mems Christian assoc n
ton, is to be held in Sioux Falls this
year, dates for the convention being
March 3 to 5, inclusive.
The decision to hold the convention
here this year was reached by the
state committee Of the association, In
response to invitations extended by
the Poung Mems Christian assoc.a-
ton of Sioux Falls college and a
number Of the business men of Sioux
Falls.
The previous conventions have been
primarily for the student associations,
but at the last convention held at
Mitchell, men from the cities OF the
state were invited to consider the de-
velopment of the association work in
their cities.
This year, the convention will well
come all men of the state. Special
and separate sessions will be held for
the consideration of the need and the
development Of the students. City
and small town and rural community
fields.
In seven Of South Dakota colleges
and two of her normal schools, Young
Mems Christian associations have been
organized and much work has been
done among her students. OF nine
or ten cities OF over 1000 population,
two are Elaintaininf Young Mems
Christian associations with paid secre-
tarfies. South Dakota is the only
state in the Union that does not have
a building owned by and devoted to
the use Of a Young Mems Christian
association.
The state committee and many OF
the men OF the state feel that the time
has come for definite steps to be taken
toward the development Of this move
ment in South Dakota. IL is expected
that this convention in Sioux Falls
will mark the Inauguration OF a for
ward association movement in all the
three of South Dakota's important
fields.
The speakers and leaders of the con-
vention are men of national reputation
in their special fields and every ses-
sion of the convention should be full
of interest.
A feature Of the convention, IL is ex-
pected, will be a special luncheon for
Sioux Falls men, at which time the
convention leaders will speak and also
Mr.. T. J. Foster, of Ottumwa, Iowa. of
the Morrell Packing company has also
promised to be present IL he can ar
range it.
The sessions of the convention will
be held in the City Temple.
Reduced rates of one fare and a
third on the certificate plan have been
granted on all the roads in the state
and 1t is expected that about 200 dele
gates will attend from all yer the
state.
The state secretary, J. u. Nebbergall,
Sioux Falls, will be glad to give any
further information.

w Washington
the Man

ing evidence of his commo human
ity in the fact that while quite young
he fell easily in love and wrote verses
and sentimental verses at that.
When he was twelve years old, short
ly after the death Of his father, he
al sent to school at Fredericksburg
after promising his elder brother to
be STEADY" 1t val a mixed school
OF boys and girls and one OF his
schoolmates, a cousin, said in later
life that while George was remark
ably studious he was also fond OF
"romping with one of the largest
girls; this vas SO unusual hat it ex-
cited no little comment among the
other lads" 1t was while at this
school that George wrote the follow
ing acrostic:
From your bright sparkling eyes I was
undone'
Rays you have more transparent thar the
sun,
Amidst its glory in the rising day,
None can you equal In your bright array;
Constant In your calm and unspotted
mind,
Equal to all, but will to none prove kind:
So knowing, seldom one so young you'll
find.
All. woes MT that I should love and con-
ceal
Long have / wished but never dare re-
veal,
Even though severely Loves pain / feel;
Aerxes the Great wasn't free from Gu
pid's dart,
And all the greatest heroes felt the
smart.
The first letters spell Frances
Alexa. Alexa was the abhrcviation
Of Alexander, and the acrostic was
addressed either to a schoolmate Of
that name or to some fair Frances liv-
ing in Alexandria, where the boy was
well acquainted. There is reason to
believe that young Washington was
as susceptible as the average young
man of the present day. When about
seventeen years old he fell in love
with a young lady, whom he refers
to In a letter to a friends as your
Lowland beauty" and says going into
company simply revives his former
passion for her. He adds:
Were | to live more retired from
young women, / might alleviate in
some measure nay sorrows by bury
ing that chaste and troublesome pas
sion in the grave of oblivion or eter-
nal forgetsulness. for as / am very
well assured that is the only antidote
or remedy that l ever shall be re-
lieved by or only recess that can ad-
minister any cure or help to me. as
| am well convinced, were I ever to
attempt anything, / should only get a
denial. which would be only adding
grief to u~neasiness."
