Propose Branch Y. NJ. C. A. on
North Side.
To Cooperate With Central
Headquarters Association.
ONCE ESTABLISHED.
Feel Need for Branch in First
Ward.
Plan to Rent Rooms Later
Erect Building.

David Bowie, of the Page Milling
company, president of the Topeka Y.
NJ. C. A. association. favors re-estab-
fishing a branch Y. NJ. c. A. on the
North size.
L believe that there is a need for
branch Y. NJ. c. A. on the North side"
said Mr.. Bowie this afternoon. In this
way we could provide the benefits of
the institution for many of the boys
and young men here who do not belong
to the railroad branch and do not wish
to go so far as the association head
quarters on the South side. In no sense
would such a branch be in opposition
to the work of the central headquarters,
but rather in cooperation with 1t. The
tendency of late years is to establish
such branches as we find that most eff
fective work can be done 1t Will be
only question of time that the mem
bership in the central branch will be as
large as can be cared for there and
rooms or a building over here devoted
TO the interests of the association
would be good for the movement in gen
eral.
Likely the beginning would be small
the equiping of a few rooms with read
ing tables, gymnasium material, etc,
but it is not improbable that in time
q building could be erected in the First
ward for this special purpose"

In oil burning locomotives this morn
ing a number of railroad men agreed OH
