M C A. secretary, upon the subject "The Challenge to Prepare." It was a serious minded group ot boys who listened to this strong address as they were brought to realize that "upon the youth of today rests the destiny of all which America holii sacred." Nothing could be more in snlrlnir than to stand before such a irronn of earnest boys, looking Into their faces and seeing kindled there the lire of determination which is to perpetuate the high principles of Christianity and "make the world safe for democracy." Time and space will not permit a detailed account of the many strong addresses and speeches, some of which were made by the boys them selves. It Is Impossible to etsimate the good which comes from these conferences. The next one will be hold at Roseburg. Gordon Isbister, Everett Lane, Wade Uutherford, Oury Htsoy, Max U'llann Nnmlnn Wilklns. J. H. Mc- Cov. Will Brlggs and Wlll Perry were those from St. Helens who attended. EDISON I.

In 1912 Mr. Ballagh was married to Miss Grace Leo Wilkins, if this city. They have two children, Graco and Lerine. Mr. Ballagh has always taken a keen interest in sports, and for some vears was manager of the St. Helens laseball club. He is a member of he K. of P. and Redmen fraternal orders and has occupied all the chairs in each lodge. At the time of his elevation to the mayoralty, Mr. Bal lagh was serving his second term as councilman. No successor has beeu mnointed to fill the vacancy on the council, but it is probable the coun cil will select some citizen as a city dad at their next regular meeting. The selection of Mr. Ballagh meets with the approval of a majority of the citizens of St. Helens, who wish him the utmost success in his new- position of responsibility. SUPT. CHURCHILL VISITS ST.
