They decided to start organiza­

Crosby Speaks
Saturday evening the meeting

sporise to the num*rous requests
by boys In the conference for such

Mr. Crosby. Saturday afternoon

of the ."conference on Sunday

W. P. Walter of the local Y. M.
C. A. text being, "The Confer­
ence Thought, John 14:6” The
conference was a success through­
out, surpassing the expectations
of those in charge. In comment­
ing on the local conference, Mr.
Crosby who has promoted ten
conferences since last fall, stated
"This Is without doubt one of the
most successful conferences of the
year. While It was one of the
smallest, from the standpoint of
results and the general run of
things. It is one of the outstand­
ing ones. Too much cannot be said
for those who worked to make the
conference what it was.” Mr.
Crosby was especially loud in his
praise of the conference banquet,
which was cooked and served by
Miss French and her girls of the
Domestic Science department of
Ashland high school. “This Is
something new to us who have
been promoting these confer­
ences,” Mr. Crosby said, "but
without a doubt this banquet was
handled the beet of any we have
ever had and it has put a new
Idea into my head. The fine way
In which this banquet was handled
had much to do with the general
spirit of the conference."
D. M. Spencer, who had charge
of local arrangements (or the con­
ference commented on the hospi-
tallty and response of the people
of Ashland In throwing open their
home to the delegatee. “I wish I
could thank every one of them
personally, and tell them Just how
much this meant to the confer­
ence. I have only one regret and
that Is, * e did not have enough
