of the inability to heat the building.
Linemcn working on poles found it
absolutely impossible to climb a pole
and keep on any but the side opposite
that from which the wind was coming.

lions committee for consideration of its
financial features, including provisions
for the salaries and expenses of state
olllcers charged with its enforcement.

closing speech in behalf of his bill and

To the People of Mo. Valley:
deeply regret my inability to
be with you tonight on account of
III tlfe particular occasion. for which
the meeting is called.
To fully realize the need which
the Y. NJ. C. A. feels you must
have some understanding of the
life condition of. the men in the
field.
There is sudden freedom
from home restraint given to an
enormous body Of young men.
Temptation assails them on all
sides and the aids to resist are
almost completely withdrawn.
There is a homesick feeling and
lonesomeness that is combated
by seeking pleasures, good, bad
or otherwise. Eight men living
in tent without many of the ma
terial comforts and amid careless
language does not make an ideal
condition for letter writing, fine
reading or better impulses. These
needs are admirably supplied by
the Y. M. C. A. Large, cheapl.,
constructed buildings, we'll light
ed, screened, with writing facil-
tiles and a stage for entertain
ments make up in a measure for
the lack Of home SURROUNDINGS
Three or four nights week.
clean wholesome entertainment
is furnished, athletic, literary,
musical or of a frolicsome ma
ture. In this way two or three
thosand young men are kept i'm
camp in clean atmosphere. They
become more closely united and
many ends are served both moral
and military.
The meetings as. arranged are
open to all creeds, and the COM
forts and conveniences are like
wise at their disposal. The spe.-
cial meetings of religious nature
are available for those not other
wise cared for, and much. is done
+, to keep men of all beliefs faithful

who are trying to finance the af-

Your son, your brother, or your

MARSHALL RAMSAUR
FORMER PALATKA BOY
Sails on American Mer-
chantman to Guard Uncle
Sans Gun.

Marshall Ramsaur, formerly of
this city but whose home for some
time back has been in St. Petersburg,
joined the navy about one year ago.
He was on the Delaware, one of Un-
Gle Sans vessels.
Recently, however, he was one of
seventeen men selected from each
warship to serve with the guns
mounted on merchant ships. While
on the Delaware he was in Cuban wa
ters, but on his transfer he went to
Key West and Jacksonville on a tor
pedo boat, thence to New York by
rail.
Young Ramsaur is a gunner in the
navy and it is only natural that he
should be selected for special service
aboard merchantmen which are now
being supplied with guns in order to
destroy German U-boats. He was
not allowed to divulge the name of
the ship on which he sailed.
Marshall left some time last week
and is probably now on his way to
the war zone. Before leaving New
York he wrote his mother a letter
in which he told of his assignment,
and in which he bade her not to wor-
ry. That he realized the seriousness
of his undertaking will be seen from
the language of one sentence in this
letter: "If you never hear from me
again you will know that our ship
was sunk and that l died for my
country and the people | love-"

ORGANIZE HOUSE ON
STRAIGHT PARTY PLAN
Mann's Suggestion on Non
partisan Ran Has Little
Support.

A telegram from Washington
states that preliminary conferences

can Leader Mann's propisal that he
withdraw from the speakership race
in favor of Speaker Clark, and that
the House committee be organized on
bipartisan or nonpartisan lines at

day.
Representative Lenloo of Wiscon-
sin, Progressive Republican leader,
declared after a conference with Rep
resentatives Longworth of Ohio and
Towner of Iowa that he could not
consent to such a program because
it would constitute an admission
that if the Republicans organize the
House the country will suffer"
Speaker Clark, after discussing the
Mann proposal with many Democrats
said he had found only one who favor
ed it. The speaker is advising the
Democrats to make the organization
contest as a party unless it is fully
demonstrated that one or the other
cannot win and in this the rank and
file are supporting the Speakers
stand enthusiastically.
They declared generally today that
Mr., Mann's proposal simply was an
admission of doubt of the Republl-
can strength.
Representative Randall of Califor-
MIA, prohibitionist, who has been &C
tive among q little group of independ-
ents who will have balance of pow
err in the House organization, declln.
ed today to add to his declaration of
last night, that four if the five inde-
pendents will vote for Speaker Clark
and the Democratic organization.

advanced by Representative Towner
to continue the House organization
