What The B. Y. P. IT. Means To M<
The B. Y. P. U. has been a great
help to me in living a better life. It
has ehanged my ideas coneerning
things about me. These changes cost
nxe many a pang. It has changed' my
thought* to better spiritual things.
I gather new ideas ?very Sunday
night in the Union, to live upon for
years to come.
There is nothing more wonderful,
to me than the B. Y. P. U. A message
to me from human souls whom I
never saw; they amuse me, teach me,
: open my heart for a better life.
The B. Y. P. U. keeps ma in touch
with my Bible and church. I leani
to speak better before the public.
The Union has been more to me
than words will express, and I ho|>c
the union will grow

"We are having a Union that we
are all very happy to have in our
community. Practically all the young

terest in the work, by giving their
attendance every Sunday night, and
their very best when they are placed
on the program, both of which goes
to make a good Union. Our average
attendance is around 35 now, and
as the fall and ^winter months are
now close at hand, we hope to in
crease our attendance."

WILL ROGERS SAYS:?
I was kinder disappointed in Al's
siHjeeh of acceptance. I thought he
was a smarter man than he is, I
thought he would refuse.
Just think how much bigger man
A1 would have been if he had Refused.
If he ge(s eleeted he will be only one
out of thirty that's held presidency.
Bu if he had refused he 'd be the first
in history to do that ? and probably
the last.
A Democrat is naturally windier
than a Republican, lie is out of of
fice more and be has more time to
! think up things to say. All a Repub
lican has to say is "well I am in,
try and get me out." While with a
Democrat, he has to say something
that will get the Republican out and
also that will get him in.
A1 said he would take the nomina
tion because ' ' this is the country
that had raised him from obscurity
to the standard bearer of his party."'
Now A1 didient have any monopoly
on obscuiity at birth. There is awful
few babies very well known at wean
l
ing tune.
The part of his speech that kinder
hit me was where he said that if he
was elected he would have our gov
ernment quit messing around down
in Latin America. In other words if
a Marine went sight-seeing he would
have to pay hls^own way.
Al is honest about farm relief. He
says he don't know a corn stalk from
a jimpsou weed and that a tractor
might be a mouth wash so far as lie
is. concerned. All in all, Al did a
mighty fine job of promising. Now J
think my platform is more construc
tive. 1 will make mine up after I get
in. Nobody knows what they might
want by next) March anyhow.
