Ins the work of canvassing the city during like past two days, we
have been greatly hampered by aurorae weather cooiftlons and
coiuequently many people have not been seen. We are going to
try to give everyone an opportunity to Join ua In supporting the
Y. M. C. A. In Ita splendid work by eubscriblng to this fund. We
may, howevar, overlook some who would subscribe If they were

We want to ask our people to see any one of the undersigned
and give his or her subscription to this fund. Subscription* are
payable In four installments and we believe Oat there ere very few
people ttt Athena who do not want to be aligned with the splendid
work at the local ”Y,“ so are urge that you either phone (n or mall
In your subscriptions to any one of us.
Wa are leaving our business and devoting our time to this cam
paign becauae we believe that the Y. M. c. A. I. tilling a need In
Athena .that can bo filled by no other agency. It Is a Mg active
factor In tho development or our young mnahood. We believe that
tho people of Athena owe tbit institution their hearty and cordial

proper support *
We are for the £ M. C. A. end urge your support. Where do you

The treatment of the worief
court and tho Mellon tax plan
wa* almost as brief. In approach-
inir the court problem he noted
that American foreign policy al
ways had been guided by tl.o
principles of avoidance of perma
nent political alliances sacrificing
independence and jof peaceful set
tlement of international controver- |
nies. He called attention that th» 1
United States acting on these
principles had for- nearly twenty-
five years been a member of Tho
League Tribunal and added that
the proposed world court w«« ‘‘u
new and somewhat different
plan.”
"This is not a partisan ques
