up rapidly.
A. B. Dale, state secretary, made the
announcement that George McDill. Of
Chicago, one Of the big men in Y. M.
c. A. work, had written promising to
be present during the entire campaign.
His presence and personality Is sure
to be a great factor during the can
vass.

habitants, has just completed a six
days campaign for a 100000 associa-
ton building, and secured 100000,
