Spedon, "and the applause of the pub lie was the most remarkable thing of my experience in motion pictures I attended several conventions of exhi- bitors and found the members almost entirely a unit for the reelection of MT. Wilson.
 But it is not only the motion pic ture public and the exhibitors who are with the President Everywhere

I'M C, A. BOYS WIND UP
 WHIRLWIND CAMPAIGN
 TO RENEW MEMBERSHIPS

Of many of the interesting cam paigns that have been conducted dur ing the past week or ten days, the most exciting one of all was the mem bership campaign in connection with the Y. M. C. A. Boys Division. who have been making an effort to secure 80 per cent. of the renewals of the aspirations this month. Three teams have been at work the High school, explained by William Miller, and sup ported by IS men; the employed boys. explained by Joseph O'Neil; the graglmar school explained by Earl Lakeman. During the days of the campaign, a great deal of excitement and competition has existed.
 Last evening, the final supper was given to the workers and the reports were as follows:
 Seventy-four High school boys.
 Sixty-one employed boys.
 Seventy-three grammar school boys.
 It was decided after supper that the campaigners would continue until 10 o'clock last evening. Every boy on the teams was out cha siHG after mem bers and the phone in 'the boys build ing was kept busy for about three hours. On the stroke of 10, the cam paign was brought to a close and the results was as follows:
 High school leading with the high est number, 94 points.
 Employed boys, S4 points.
 Grammar school boys, S3 points.
 The prize for each member of the winning team Is a silver hgnet ring with the Y. M. c. A. emblem on it. There is also to be a special prize which will be awarded to the man who got the most individual members. This will be awarded to Edward Shaw, who obtained 31 points,
 This campaign has proved to be the best one that has been conducted by the department.
