A SUCCESS TALK FOR

An APPEAL to Boys, by DR.. David

ON our Young Peoples Page this week.
is one of the finest things ] have come
across lately and the first thing I'd
like for you 10 do Is to read it. Then
I'd like for us to have a little tolk-a
little friendly, brotherly talk-about
whether it pays to start taking
drink
1t ought not to be necessary for any
body anywhere in America to talk ON
this subject to either boys or men. but
unfortunately it is. We have our prohi-
bition law. but we also have vicious
men and some men who are only
thoughtless at heart but vicious in
practice who violate that law. Con
sequen.ly, know that sometimes or
other you are going to find yourself
face to face with the big question |
NOW wish to discuss with you-the
question as TO whether you will or will
not keep absolutely free from liquor.
Now, | ain not going to lecture you.
and | am not going to say word about
drinking being an awful sin or any
hing of the sort. We are just going to
talk about it as business matter and
find out whether it pays. That's all.

TO SELECT BOYS
FOR CONFERENCE

Names Of boys who will repre-
sent East Moline at the older boys
conference at Springfield. Nov. rs,
q and %, will not be announced
until late next week, Roy T. Crosby,
boys secretary Of the East Moline
Y. M. C. A.. who will make the
selections, said today.
Mr.. Crosby Is asking as many Or
CARNATIONS as possible to pay ex-
penses of at least one boy to the
state meeting Of Sunday school
and Y. M. C. A. workers. The Ro-
tary club has already pledged itself
to back one boy and 1t is probable
other organizations will follow suit.
Mr.. Crosby favors the plan of
paying only half the expenses Of
each boy and letting the boy earn
the remainder. Thus more will be
able to go and the boys will appre-
ciate the trip more, he believes, II
they help earn 1t. Only boys who
are worth while and will take an
interest in the business of the con-
ference will be sent and these will
be expected to make a satisfactory
report Of the business transacted
At the meeting to whatever organi.
cation helped permit them to at
tend.
