Y. NJ. C. A. BOYS
LIKE CAMP LIFE
Local Lads Are Having Fine
Time at Crystal Lake, at
Annual Outing.

An interesting letter was received
by The Argus today from Earl c. John
son, officer of the day at the Y. NJ. c.
a. camp at Crystal Lake, Iowa. Judg-
ing by the contents of the missiVe, the
lads are having the time of their lives.
Crystal Lake is one of the most pOpu.
lar resorts of Iowa and affords an eX-
cellent camping ground. The letter
follows:
I'VE left the Y. NJ c. A. at 7:45
Monday morning and arrived at camp
about $50. Five large touring cars
owned by Messrs. Marion, Copp, Ros-
enfield, Hauberg. McCabe and T. B.
Davis. were loaned to us to make the
trip in. Without the help of the auto
mobiles we expected to take a wagon
and alternate the riding and walking.
Mr. Craig stopped in Dewitt to order
supplies for camp, but the grocers
failed to make their appearance until
1876. This postponed dinner until
nearly l o'clock. When the whistle
blew for dinner il did not take long
for the benches to fill up with lot OF
hungry men and boys like we were.
We occupy one-half of the large pavil-
lion which consists of three large
rooms and the dance hall Tuesday
afternoon we caught a mess of fish
and had fish-fry for supper. Crystal
Lake is an excellent place for fishing
and swimming. BY throwing 4 crumb
into the water a large number of fish
are visible fighting for the food. There
is peculiar moss that grows beneath
the surface of the water resembling
n fern or an evergreen tree We are
hoping that we may continue to have
as good a time in the future as we
have had in the past"

Don't Want to Change

The question Of the employment Of
union or non-union labor on the cree

informal session OF the council held in
the cfice OF Mayor H. VI. Schriver this
morning by officials of the BoiIermak-

The contract as prepared by the
council contained a clause in which
the commissioners stated that union
workmen would be preferred. The
Rock Island Bridge * Iron company
secured the contract al $4,000 and
about month ago work was com

structure
Union structural iron workers were
employed by the company and during
the past week the work on the frame
was completed Yesterday morning
the union structural workers started
work on the installation of the tank
proper and the union boilerwOrkers
registered a grievance.
The company then called in the
union structural workers and in their
place employed non-uniOn bOilermak-
ers. and the union men took their
troubles before the council this morn

Officials OF the company were pres

several hours. The concern claimed
that il would have been more expedi-
ent for the company 10 employ the
same set OF men right through until
l the whole was completed. rather than
i employ two sets OF men. The bridge
company also contended that the
structural workers were competent to
do the work.
Council Pacifies Union.
The commissioners expressed them
selves as preferring union men in the
work. but stated that their aim was
70 secure a good job, and that they
did not care 10 dictate to the company

The war began suddenly. A halt
may be called any day, when sufficient
preliminaries have been played. 1t is,
however. fair to say that from some
standpoints things are better than
they were"
Financial conditions are much i'm
proved. Lines of travel and commerce
are being opened and extended. Let
us be cheerful Give the go-by
the mummies and the mummers and
dummies and combine with the hope
full and helpful.
This store goes right straight on,
with its abundant stocks, its growing
and intelligent preparations. with a
full force of employees, striving each
day to give better service to an ex-
pectant public.
It is but fair, we think, to our pa
irons to inform them, that all kinds of
merchandise just now are probably
much lower in price than they will be
80, 60 or 80 days hence, and the pa
irons of this store are fortunate in
deed to have this immense stock of de-
pendable wares from which to supply
their needs; all bought before the war
scare had started the upward boom of
prices.
No need to rush, as we have plenty
of almost everything and several of
our department buyers are now in the
East filling in any possible gaps which
might occur for some weeks to come.
You can come at your leisure buy as
you like and always know you'll get
the very best service, and all the ad-
vantages which can be secured by the
strength of this magnificent organiza-
ton.
