Are Cigarettes Good For q Boy.

A live interest was created in tn,
subject as to whether cigarettes wer,
Igood for boy, growing out of dis
cussion n the County Boys ant
Leaders Conference held under tn,
auspices of the County Young Mems
Chrlstian Associations. The boys
were discussing the putting on a cam
Ipaign in the county for Clean Speech,
Clean Sports, Clean Habits, among
the boys OF the county when the ques-
ton of cigarettes was raised. A live
lily discussion followed as the boys
related their own experiences and that
of their friends with cigarettes, and
the conviction was soon reached that
a startling number OF the boys of the
county were marring their efficiency,
and weakening the body by ciga-
rettes. A large majority pledged
themselves to give up the use of, and
wage war against the using Of
cigarettes by the other boys of the
county.
The Boys Conference opened Fri
day night as the closing part OF the
Pull Together Program After songs,
and the devotions conducted by Rev.
J. A. McMurraY, the boys elected as
their officers for the conference Hally

Jackson, Vice Presidents; Gordon
CARRIER, Edinburg, Denny Kronk, Mt.
Jackson, Secretaries. An informal
Introduction in which every fellow
told where he came, from and what he
represented soon had every one ac-
quainted. and showed that boys were
there from all sections of the county,
representing 81 Sunday Schools, High
Schools, Y. M. G. A. Groupe. The
addresses were opened by Mr.. H. T.
Baker, of Richmond, who suggested
some of the things which the boy 8
might hope to find from attending the
conference. Mr.. J. G. Shackelford,
U. S. Dept, Agri'l, preeented some
opportunities boy might find in
Rural Life, and urged that in con-
sidering their life work the boys COM
pare the profession of agriculturalist
to the many other professions al
ready overcrowded. DR.. Brow n
closed the night session showing the
Importance of boy developing a
strong body in order that he might
be physically ft" TO perform his
life's work.
In the morning DR.. Brown illustrat-
ed with black board and chalk
how boy figures either for or against
himself and society. MIR. Baker fol.
lowed with a message as to how a
boy might lift the handicaps which
he met Then followed the discussions
by the Boys themselves IS to how
they might raise the standards of the
boy life OF the county by such meas
ures as a Campaign for Clean Speech,
Clean Sports, Clean Habits. Every
boy being greater producer by re-
lating himself to the soil and grow
ing something. The promoting and
crryin on of live Y. NJ. G. A.

county. A campaign to enroll a
thousand boys in the Sunday Schools

in the afternoon by gripping address
by Or. Brown on the Game OF Life

bv the boys for right living.

Wait Paint

Which is better ?
How much am I worth with my pro-
perty waiting F? Eow much if paint !?
Will my house be worth more or less

Say it costs 50 a gallon Devoe-I
wouldn't paint any other-and 50 or
"a more for putting it on. That's $50
or $50 l0-gallon job.
The money IS gone. Is it in the

Suppose were selling what should
I get for that house fresh-painted and

Its fearful when you stop to

will see men whose salaries you are
paying on duty there, and if men on
strike speak to scabs who are COM
ing to take their jobs they get the
clubs.
'If the gentlemen on the other side
persist in these tactics, if they gen
crate the bitterness and go farther
in their methods to keep the workers
down, one of these days the same
thing that's happened in Colorado
will happen here, and the 100000

change their tactics.
John H. Walker, president of the
Illinois State Federation of Labor and
president of the Illinois United Mine
Workers, gave this as his opinion ina
speech yesterday before the delegates
of the Chicago Federation of Labor.
He said labor is trying to get away
from violence, but it is forced on by
greedy employers. He declared:
eve want peacefuImethods. But
if they want the other way, and insist
on it, then, by God, Wen give 'em that
way"
He named the Chicago Tribune as
coming in the guise of a purveyOr
of news to poison the mind of the
public" on the Colorado situation.
After Walkers speech, John Fitz-
patrick, president of the c., F. of L.
read resolutions naming the two
RockefeIers, father and son, as con-
nected with the murder and burning
of men, women and children in the
Ludlow tent colony April 21. The
resolutions also call on President
Wilson to seize the Colorado mines
and run them till Congress enacts a
law for the federal ownership of nat
Ural resources.
This is the most radical govern
mental action the Chicago central |
body has ever called for. The reso-
luton was unanimously adopted and |
there was not a murmur of dissent |
from any delegate on the question Of |
the federal government confscating |
the coal mines of Colorado.
The Tribune and Examiner were
named by Walker as hostile sheets
which are playing the mine owners
end According to Walker, there is
no limit to what Chicago newspapers
viii do to get what they want for the
interests they serve.

III Book as a Xmas Glft
Continued from Page 10.

No more satisfactory gift can be found
than A BOOK, provided the donor knows
the taste of its intended recipient, and con-
suits it.
Christmas shopping in a book store
like all shopping it should be done EARLY
is one of the most interesting sports in the
world. 1t is, morever, an excellent habit to
acquire for all the year round.
Furthermore the book trade is far better
organized than is generally known, in our
large Cities at least.
Good bookmen are still to be found in all
our great book stores, and once they get to
know you, and to know your interest,
weekly chat with them will prove one of the
most pleasurable habits of life.
A BOOK AS A HOLIDAY GIFT sug-
gests more of the personality of the giver and
the recipient, it forms more eloquent link
between the two, than almost any other
present one can find But the giver must
give thought to his gift; he must not only
consult his own taste. This is not hard for
no intercourse between friends or even ac-
quaintances can be carried on nowadays
without a hint at least of preferences or hob
bies in the matter Of reading
The range is inexhaustible, from poetry
to electrical engineering, from philosophy to
tales told in the racy slang of the hour, from
history to sociology.
And the cost Of these precious wares
varies as greatly as their contents.
All pocketbooks can be suited
One can find Walter Pater bound in in
laid morocco hand-tooled; one can get
Shakespeare in neat little edition for few
cents. And, be it repeated, shopping in a
bookstore is as profitable to the shopper as
to the person he seeks to please-often
more so.
