What Shall
IDO TOBe
Saved?

Robert G. Ingersoll aske,
this question at one time
and then proceeded to mus
up perfectly good white pa
per explaining that maybe
there was nothing to bt
saved from, and, that il
there were, there was sc
much confusion regarding
the program Of salvation
that no one might be sure
that he had the correct for
mula.
To be saved from the
high cost Of living" is
a problem Of the present
rather than of the here
after; but it has this merit,
that it is more simple of So
luton and that one may
know when he is getting re-
suits. How to be saved from
the high cost of living is a
problem in process of dem
onstration at Whsle, just
west of the City of El Cen
tro, where five and ten-acre
tracts of the best garden
land, and capable of being
brought to a highest state Of
productivity will absolutely
support a family. Here is al
opportunity to surround the
high cost of living problem,
and, at the same time, sur
round yourself with condi-
tions of existence immeasur-
ably more pleasant, more
healthful, for every member
Of the family, and, best of
all, one may bring about a
situation wherein he be-
comes his own boss, able to
walk uprightly, looking
everyone in the face and CIV
ing account to no one save
himself.
This is no idle dream. All
over California are thou
sands living comfortably off
of the proceeds of small
acreage. We have a plan
whereby it becomes possible
to acquire one of these
tracts, bring it into full pro-
ductivity and scarcely know
how it has all been done, so
easy are the terms and con-
ditions of purchase. A cash
payment of $3.50 is all that
is necessary to buy five acres
and $100 and S. a month
buys a beautiful One-acre
tract for your country home.
This is what you may do
to be saved. Call at our Of
fee and we will give you de-
tails of twenty different
ways in which you can make
one of these Wilsie tracts not
only solve the problem of the
high cost of living" but ac-
tually support yourself and

that At best they only temporarily
cover up defects There are certain
true aids to Nature, which may be
applied with directly opposite effect.

To prevent or remove wrinkles, a

Meeting.
ADDRESS BY HoLsEY
Member Of state Committee Of illinois
Y. M. c. A. Gives interesting
Address Following
Banquet.

The annual meeting and banquet OF
the Y. NJ C. A. was held In the asso
citation rooms last evening. there being
a large number present Following the
banquet, Mr.. H. G. Brown. president
Of the board of directors made short
talk in which he explained the tabu.
lated report OF the present condition
OF the organization.
Mr.. Brown said that the amount Of
money that had been spent during the
last year on improvements and re-
pairs had been largely instrumental in
making the amount of cash on hand
at the present time smaller than 1t
had been at this time last year. Al
ter explaining briefly the different &C.
counts contained In the report, Mr..
Brown said that the real work OF the
association could not be shown on
any tabulated report. II this associa-
ton did nothing more than receive
and honestly expend certain amount
OF money each year, 1t would have
failed utterly in accomplishing the
purpose for which it was founded. The
real work OF the organization is in de-
yeloping the physical. mental and
moral characters OF young men an':
boys. That il something that cannot
be shown in any tabulated report.
Address ny Holsey.
Mr.. Brown then introduced Mr.. e.
A. Holsey, a member Of the stats
committee Of the Illinois Y. NJ. G. A.
who gave an address Of half an hour
on some of the present day problems
of the Y. M. C. A. Mr.. Holsey brought
out several points of interest in his
talk. He said that the association
might be called church in bust
ness suit. To be successful It had to
be successful in a business way. This
meant that 1t must have men and that
1t must have money. To get either one.
1t was first necessary to have the 9th.
er.
Mr.. Holsey said there were two
ways in which the organization de-
yeloped the christian character OF
boys and men. That was directly
ana luuiTcCtis. u6 UiS uuuuin6O
which provided clean and healthful
amusement worked Indirectly to de-
velop christian characters among the
members and made It easier for them
to become christians, The direct in
fluence came from the Bible classes
and from the men who were connect
ed with the organization. He doubted
If salaried employee of the organiza-
ton who was fully competent in 9th
er ways but who did not Directly in
fluence the boys and men to become
christians. were the kind that should
be retained.
He said it was up to the members
of the association to develop good fell
lowship among themselves. and es-
pecially to make new men at home
and to help them get acquainted.
A fine chicken pie supper was
served at the banquet and number
of young ladies served the tables. The
Y. NJ. G.. A. orchestra furnished the
music during the banquet. The re-
port follows:
