believed to be still frozen in the ice
of the Greenland coast. 1t was Cap
tain Robert Bartlett. companion of
Peary on the trip when he reached
the North Pole. who finally succeeded
where the others had failed. He used
the stanch sealing steamer Neptune.
and by his feat he adds considerably
to the reputation he made on his sew
eral voyages with Peary. Bartlett
says the Ice on this trip was the
heaviest he had ever met. Macmillan
was also one Of Peary's lieutenants on
the polar trip.
Many OF the things Macmillan has
accomplished In the Far North will be
appreciated only by the scientific
world. But even the 1ayman can un-

With his thousands of specimens SO
valuable to the scientific world, Mac
MILAN brings back an insignificant tin
box. which to one person in the world

little box as follows:

Membership Of Fargo Y. M.
G. A. is Constantly Climb
ing-Highest in History
1885 ON JANUARY
Evidence of the Popularity
OF the Association-Boys'
Department Active

Almost 1900 men are now members
| of the city Y. NJ. c. A. General Sec
| rotary ]. w. Adams, has announced
that on Jan. 81 there were 1885 men,
bers and the number keeps Ginning all
the time. This is the high water mark
in point Of membership in the entire
history of the association. Gag any
thing be better evidence of the in
creasing popularity and usefulness Of
association work? Does 1t not offer a
strong appeal for the largest possible
support during the approaching fund
campaign for $4,000. Feb. 1926, which
will relieve the association of debt and
make sure the erection of the 5000
building at the agricultural college?
OF the total membership of 1926,
about 325 are in the boys department.
This department is considered one Of
the most useful as it gets grip on the
boy before he starts in the wrong
way. These boys are paying over So
apiece for these privileges, but the
actual cost is about $18 a year. To
attempt to raise the membership fee
sufficient to cover actual cost would
be prohibitive. There is simply no 9TH
err way of doing it except for some
father or big brother to pay the diff
ference.
The biggest men Of the country are
among those who are most liberal in
their endorsement of the association
work. For example take the following
from Senator Robert LaFollette: The
association comes with its special
message to the young men at the righS
time. 1t teaches them the doctrine of
self-help; 1T stimulates sturdiness of
character, industry and perseverance.
1t makes every. man strong by teach
ing him to stan e alone. 1t holds hon.
esty. industry and manliness of spirit
as high ideals, and develops the best
there is in every individual 1t brings
Christ into the lives of young men. 1t
shortens the way to church !nld opens
wide it's portals. 1t awakens the stud
emit spirit, and lights the lamps Of the
mind. It places in the eager hands of
youth the keys which unlock the trea-
sures of knowledge and the door Of
opportunity. Better than social posi-
ton, better than inherited wealth, is
the practical every day character
which this association teaches. 1t i'm
presses upon each young imam the
worth of in, gritty Of character and the
value OF industrial application. These
once established in his life makes its
success lasting and sure. Christianity
has never been concession, never
peace; IL is a continual aggression;
one-province Of wrong conquered, its
pioneers are already in the heart or
another; the milestones OF its onward
march down the ages have been monu-
ments of material worth: the blacken-
ed stakes of martyrs-trophies of in
dividual fidelity and conviction"
