ON
THE Y. NJ. C. A.

A visit to the "Y" after an in
terval of week or ten days helps
one to realize that the rooms are
being prepared for business. The
equipment is being secured as fast
as possible to make home for the
fellows. Many who are anxiously
waiting and who are somewhat dis
appointed at the delay may be as
sured that this setback will bring
forth'an arrangement which will
meet the members needs.
The fireplace in the reading
room would make bare walls look
coZy, but with a score of maga-
zines, select library of more than
six hundred volumes and comfort
able chairs, it is needless to say
that the reading room will become
very popular
The pool tables, game tables,
ping pong and easy chairs in the
social room should prove their pop
ularity to those who have leisure
hours to spend with fellow men,
bers.
The gymnasium, locker room,
and baths, with their additional
equipment will surely be just what
the athlete and those seeking rec
reation in more strenuous way
desire
Mr.. Fiss is showing much inter-
est in the Boys Department and
is securing equipment which will
be most suitable to meet the needs
of the boys.
With these facts in view and the
assurance of the hearty support Of
the citizens of this town and county,
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion will become a place where the
young men and boys can go with
the feeling that they are being pro-
vided with things to do that they
could not secure otherwise.

Yesterday M 7 Barnard arrived
in Elko, with a carload of horses,
which we're to be offered for sale.
He visited Mr. John Troup's ex-

this veteran horseman and sales
man, to occupy the territory. He
took his car Of horses, and pulled

The BOY AND THE FISH POLE

There is an ancient ditty running
like this
Now digs the boy the garden plot,
With energy intense,
Until he bags tribe of worms,
And then he skips the fence.
And now he runs with might and
main,
Unto the brooklet side.
Also when he returns at night
His mother tans his hide"
Hypercritical persons may object
that the final line of the above lay
is not expressed with the elegence
of sentiment and diction charact-
eristic Of the preceding portions.
Nevertheless, it is expressive of the
sentiments and experience of boy
life in the spring.
The normal boy invariably fishes,
if his surroundings are sufficiently
rural and provided with satisfact-
ory streams or ponds.
The boy fisherman asks no Ella
boration Of equipment. The slender
home grown sapling is as satisfact-
ory as the jointed rod, and even if
heavy he will trudge with it over
hot and dusty miles. With the fruit

because they are not "gamy," or
because some epicure pronounces
their flesh tasteless. To the boy,
the lowly sun-fsh or bull-bead is as

salmon.

with good string, regards himself
not merely as successful sports.
