 Fifteen big fat turkeys were de- lVered to the cooks of the M E. church. south, who are to prepare them for the Y M C. A. banquet Monday night. This fact is ment- toned just to let the people know that there is substance as well as theory behind the banquet story that nas Teen talked about in these col umns. This is only one item in the list and there will be a lot more just as appealing.
 speaking of the banquet makes timely another announcement that %hile roo invitations have been is sued it is not what is popularly known as an invitation affair. Those invited are just nucleus of the big crowd the management would like to see in att"E-Jnce and eVery body will be made welcome. whether he has a card .u;j,ation or not All that is necessa 'y !" to telephone the Y. RI C. A. th,, you will tc there Monday night ant bring along 75 cents to pay tor the supper

M. C. A. to the workers. Speaking of workers it is also re ported that while d good live body of them has been secured General Coggins and Brigadier Burcham would like to have few more, as many in fact as they can secure for some may become leg weary before the week is out and sub stitutes will be in demand. Every able bodied man who can devote a few hours to great public work is therefore urged to send his name in for assignment.
 All this preparation is for the securing bN contribution of at least $10.000 in cash for the purpose of the Y In this connection the reader will recall that he sees something in the papers all the time about the and many will jump to the con clusion that it is all the time begging The truth is that all public enter prises have to be kept up more or less Hy public support that is often termed begging for want of better name. but in justice to this one att tention Is called to the fact that this is the first time straight money contributions have been asked for
 1IN two years ago All the newspaper talk about the Y has been about the good work it has been doing and it has been good work as anybody knows who is familiar with the facts. The only other calls for money have been indirectly in connection

 This is Sunday morning. Will it not be a good thing for every man in town who has $3 or more, and there are lots of them, to think over this Y. M. C. A. matter today and decide just what he will do. It will be easier for him and easier for the solicitors when they come around and they can see so many more pc0 pIe if they can finish with each one at the first call. Whether you are going to give some boy a member ship or make a cash contribution, it makes no difference Do both if YOU can and make the donation just
