When a campaign for new mem.
bers of the Y. M. G. A. was first
planned several weeks ago, 1900
members in five days" was adopted
as the slogan. The number was
placed high and there was little hope
that the enrolment could be increas-
ed to such an extent. When the final
count was made Saturday evening,
however, it was found that 24S new
members had been secured, with
few people yet to report.
The campaign was very carefully
planned. 1t originated in the minds
of the membership committee, com.
posed of Harry Mitchell, chairman,
N. R. Mason, A. ]. Matthews and
Conner Gilliland AS preliminary
to the active work, residents Of the
city who were looked on as possi
bilities received numerous letters
and postal cards, sent out by Secre-
tary R. H. Kinney, pointing out the
advantages of the institution and
containing an appeal to join. The
slogan, 900 members in five days"
always appeared on these communi-
cations.
Active work on the campaign was
started Tuesday Sept. 21, when a
myriad of workers started out, armed
with subscription cards and tags, the
latter bearing the slogan. All pos
sibilities were called on and strong
arguments presented, tending to in
fiuence them to join the Y. M. c. A.
For five solid days, morning, after
noon and evening, this campaign was
kept up. Saturday arrived and the
new members had totalled up ITO.
Thirty additions were needed to
bring the figures up to the mark
aimed for. The work Saturday was
of the prodigious character, as all
manner and means of hustling was
done. At the end of the evening an
elated group of workers stood in the
secretarys office of the Y. M. G. A.
On Saturday alone IS new members
had signed up the subscription card
"a truly remarkable number.
When all the reports of those en-
gagged in the work are in, the cam
paign will have netted the Y. M. G.
A. over $50 members. For city the
size of Mt. Vernon, this is exception.
al. Larger cities have tried the same
thing and fallen down, but the activ'
ity of those concerned, particularly
the committee of four on member
ship, turned the trick and put Mt
Vernon in class all by itself.

Other Items Of Interest From
The Court House

Paul Shultz, aged 16 years, and
Leonard Workman, aged II years,
both of Danville, are in the juvenile
detention ward at the Knox county
Jail, and will be charged with a SER
ious demonstrating an automobile
and driving it away.
The automobile which the young
boys took belonged to Samuel Shultz
of near Danville. Mr.. Shultz drove
his machine, Ford, to ST. Luke's
Catholic church in Danville Sunday
morning, and left the auto outside
the building while he attended
church. After the services he discov-
cred that the machine was gone.
Shortly after this a Mr.. Whitney,
who resides northeast of Danville,
telephoned in that he had two boys
and the missing machine at his farm.
In the meantime, Mr.. Shultz had
notified Sheriff Woolson and the lat
ter, with Deputy Sheriff Mossholder,
uioNC W w llcll lney dTIlN-
ed the young boys had been brought
into the village by Mr.. Whitney and
turned over to Marshal Cuenot. The
boys were turned over to the sheriff
and his deputy and brought to Mt.
Vernon, placed in the juvenile deten-
tion ward at the Jail to await action
by the juvenile court.
The Shultz boy stated to Sheriff
Woolison that he wanted to take a
ride and that he took the machine
with the intention of taking it back
before church was out. However
something went wrong with the ma
chine near the Whitney farm which
attracted Mr.. Whitney's attention
and which led to the boys arrest.
1t is alleged that the Shultz boy
has been in trouble before in anG
near Danville. The boy is no rela
tive of the man from whom he stole
the automobile.
Mr.. Shultz came to Mt. Vernon
Monday morning and made an affi
davit against the two boys. The!
will be given a hearing before judge
Wilkins of the juvenile court.
