YIN. c. A. CANVASS
GETS Under WAY
COMMITTEES WHO ARE CANVAS
SING CITY JUST REALLY GET
TING TO WORK AND RESULTS
ARE BEGINNING TO sHoW-RE-
SPoNsE MUST BE GENERAL.

The committee of business men who
have assumed the task of putting the
Y. M. c. A. in a position financially to
carry out it's ever increasing burden Of
service to the men of the community
is just beginning to get the work UNI
der way, and from this time forward
hustling that is necessary to get the
business people of the city lined up.
Too many people look upon this
movement as charity" said promi-
nent business man today. 1T is not
charity, but a big business problem.
To properly care for the boys and
young men of the city is not chart
table object, but matter which con-
Germs every father and mother brother
and sister, wife and sweetheart. Men
must congregate somewhere. 1t is the
habit of men to meet and associate;
| if a good place is not to be had, they
will go elsewhere. Modern. social
movements are directed toward the
| assembling of men in good surround
ings, beginning with the boys and fol,
| lowing along up with the years. The
Y. M. G. A. has been proven the best
of all social centers and thus has called
| forth greater gifts of money and service
on the part of men interested in their
| fellows.
| THE wonderful growth of the local
Y. M. c. A. must be cared for by
| equipment and money that will make
the continuance of the work one in
which Fargoans will take pride. No
one questions this; the thing to do is
to get busy and do it at a time when
/ it will count most. Among the leading
associations of the country, Fargo's
Y. M. c. A. ranks high, and with the
movement now on foot to provide a
greater working capital there will be
still more fiattering growth and use
fulness.
''The great good that is being done
by the Y. M. c. A. is we'll known and
! recognized. Every man who feels an
interest in it's work will respond with
alacrity to the request OF the commit
tee for subscription with a will and
the necessary capital for the further
development of this great institution
will be quickly in hand.''
Those who have not already been
called on will receive visit early nexl
week, and If the response is anything
like that which has met those already
made there will be rousing big sum
rolled up this coming week.

aggregating more than $9,000,00O All
death claims were paid except two

engaged in the sale of Intoxicating
! liquors, contrary to the laws Of the
order its payment being resisted in
court, and one for $1,000 whose bene-
| ficiary the order has been unable to

ments made in advance by members.

are bringing a neat interest return.
The building owned by the grand lodge

money of the order to tide them over
the year. These loans bear interest
at the rate of per cent per annum.
