Dear Miss Grey: Having
received such courteous treat
ment through your columns,
i venture to add a few words
of courage to Miss j. O.,
whose letter appeared re-
Gently, by reciting a page of
my own past life.
After having lived in a
country town for 20 years,
1 came to this city, and like
most country boys who come
to the city, everything was
so strange and beautiful that
1 soon got into bad COM
pany, and like Miss j. c.. /
visited the dance halls and
skating Kinks and even worse
places until my mind had be-
come poisoned and 1 began
to think there were ne good
girls and that we were all
beasts again.
This sort of thing went
on for two years, until one
night l met young lady of
the underworld at a dance
and 1 asked her how she
came to lead the life she was
leading. She told me her
story-one of the most pite-
Gus I ever heard, and to
that very girl I owe and shall
always owe my new life and
the joy of living as L see IL
today.
Now, instead of frequent
ing dance halls, 1 go to the
Y. M. G.. A. for my recrea-
ton and sometimes go to a
vaudeville; but most of my
spare time 1 am at homo
reading good books, and I
can truthfully say that all
that old desire has left me,
and 1 hope forever.
just one last yord: /
would advise Miss j. G. to
think twice before she accepts
the invitation of her friend
to leave home. Don't do it.
You have had a little taste
of the worldly things of life,
now try the new and better
things. Go to the Y. w. @.
A. and ask them to help you.
After six months 1 venture to
say you will make a truly
womanly woman of yourself.

ish the water board while i, is in the
very midst Of the task Of building the
gravity water system.
There was not the slightest need
Of the action that was taken. As an
alternative it was suggested that the
charter be worded so as TO keep the

ple,ion Of the gravity system after
which time the control OF the water
works would pass into the hands Of
the city commission and the water
board would cease 10 exist.
The meTi, OF that suggestion lay
in the fact it would have allowed ths
men who started the present work to
complete that work and would have
kept the control Of water affairs in
the hands OF men who are known TO
be tried and true for the cause of
gravity water for Pendletop. AT the
<s~ tine that suggestion was strict

ter as it stands is adopted it win di-
vide the responsibility because it will
take the control of the work out OF
the hands Of the present board ana
give it to men who at this time are
unknown.
The commission charter committee
would have adopted the alternate
suggestion had it not been for the
fact the committee was dominated by
men who had never favored gravity
water system for Pendleton and bore
animosity toward the water commits
sion because that commission had
stood consistently and stubbornly for
