Y, NJ. c. A. CONDUCTS MEETINGS

During the Christmas holidays repre-
sentatives from the Y. M. G.. A. at
State College conducted a series of
meetings at Webster. The Farmer-Re-
porter of that city says of them:
Closing their visit in Webster with
a final meeting in the NJ. E. church
Sunday evening, the State College
delegation of the Y. NJ. G.. A, which
had been conducting religious meet
ings mere every evening for the better
part of a week, departed for Brook
lngs Monday morning. While here
they held five religious meetings, a
stag social, hikes for the boys, and
held personal conferences with sew
cral of the young men and boys of the
city. Their work is bound to be of
lasting effect.
The members Of the team began ar
irving on December 9th, and kept
drifting in until Thursday morning.
Cunningham and Hoon took up the
work Monday while George Philips,
who had been here for a week pre-
vious, made arrangements for the
visit. The members of the team were
entertained in the various homes of
the city, making their headquarters
in the commercial club rooms.
Wednesday evening, at the Happe
rest rooms, the boys became acquaint-
ed with the young men and boys of
Webster at a "stag-social." Hikes
With the young men and boys Thurs
day made the acquaintance stronger
and paved the way for the most effec-
tive work possible in the later meet
ings.
The first religious meeting of the
series was held in the Lutheran church
Thursday evening, several of the col
lege boys taking part, explaining their
mission and giving their conception OF
the modern ideas of Christianity. The
meeting Friday evening in the Luth-
eran church and Saturday evening in
the NJ. E. church had some more good
things in store for the audience.
During the entire series Of meetings
the State College Y. NJ. c. A. quartet
rendered selections, and the compli-
mentary remarks by the people of
Webster speaks well for the musical
ability Of the quartet, which is COM
posed of Ben Waltner, Sam Sloan, Ira
Lanphier and Ray Cunningham. Fri
day afternoon was devoted to athletics
at the opera house, Philips and Lam
phier walking the tight wire and the
high school team defeating the Y. NJ.

From this authority 1t was learned
that to Oil street, the roadbed OF

$50 to the block, being 300 feet long.
AS thirty is one-half of sixty, 1t
would seem fair conclusion that the
approximate cost of oiling block of
narrow streets would be SIS per ten
foot strips per block. This Is the
net cost of oil, the cost of applying

ported to be that OF being willing to
furnish the implements and men for
applying the oil if the property hold

course, paying for the oil needed on
the intersections of the streets. The
commissioners have given consider
able thought to the matter OF oiling
the streets and find that in compari-
son with other communities Hamilton
is at quite a disadvantage as our
town stretches over much territory
and the cost of oiling all streets
would be too great burden for the
tax levy to bear.

With election short week in the

some of it's political illusions, illusions
deliberately foisted upon the vote to be
cast for or against the administration.
The first of these illusions is that the
passage Of the Adamson law was q

great transportation arteries of the
country. The law was denounced in

means Of postponing the crisis until the
election was over. 1t has taken but q
brief week to demonstrate the truth of
this assertion and the hollowness of
the claim that the President and a
Democratic majority in congress have
successfully met a great crisis and pre-
vented the possibility of a nation wide
disaster. The railroad managers and
the brotherhood leaders have met in
conference since election, and have
separated in disagreement, with the
brotherhood leaders declaring that
their Interpretation of the law must be
adopted. or the strike order-which
has never been rescinded-will be put
into effect. The point of disagreement
in interpretation was even forecasted
in this as in other Republican news
papers.

The second illusion which is dissi-

carefully constructed Pigment of the
administration imagination that the
Mexican peace conference, which was
kept in session for more than a month,
would reach some solution of the Mex

even administration officials express
doubts as to the usefulness or purpose
