Hiqh School Bible Class.


AS the history of the organization
and developmentnof our High School
Bible Glass is known to a compare
tive few, think that the few facts
concerning the same will be of inter-
est to all.
1t has been the custom during the
past few years for the Oskaloosa As
sociation, to send delegation of its
strongest boy members, between the
ages of 1G and 49, to the Boys Con-
ference at Lake Geneva. Wisconsin,
and to pay half their expenses.
Among the fiv who attended this
convention last August were two
High Schol fellows, and at the con-
ference these young men met large
number of other vigorous Christian
boys, who entered heartily into a dis,
cussion of methods. that would inter.
est other young men in Christian mat
ters and in these discussions they
caught vision of what might be done
among their associates in the High
School at home.
On October 1st they called a con
ference of High School students and
suggested that High School Bible
Glass be organized and meet each
week for regular study. The entire
group peresent were made commit
tee on arrangements and a week later
the first rally and banquet was held.

Membership Report.

We are glad to report that there
has been a gradual growth in our
membership during the last six
months, but we shall not feel at all
satisfied until we reach the 500 mark,
and we look to you men who are at
present this evening, to help us put
it there.
There have been three special men,
be:ship campaigns held this year and
the last two are worthy OF special
mention. On December It'll a com
nittee of thirty business and profess
sional men representing the OskaloOsa
Commercial Club, co-Operated with
US in a 1.-TWO Hundred in a Day
campaign, and although we did not
reach the goal set we feel sure that
ii was one of the best things the as
ISOLATION has been able to do this
year in interesting and educating the
public as to what the Association
stands for and is doing for young men.
We wish to say in this, the annual re,
port, that We greatly appreciate the
services rendered us by the CONNER
cial Club in this campaign, for without
their cooperation it would not have
been possible.

Market Notes.

Chicago. Jan. 19.-The demand for
cattle was not good and trade had a
dull edge all along the line. The re-
ceipts were light but enough, consid-
ering the limited outlet.
Chicago, Jan. 19.-The quality was
very poor again, and there were real
ly no good steers offered. Eastern
shippers were out of the game on that
account and the local men were in
different.
Chicago, Jan. 19.-Stockers and
feeders met with fairly good de-
mand and country prices were gener-
ally steady. Good to choice feeders
we're relatively scarce and were want
ed while the light and medium stock
ers were numerous. There is not
much OF a demand for that class OF
steers.
Chicago, Jan. 19.-IStrong prices
were paid for the majority of the hogs
sold, though packers showed balky
disposition at the start.
Chicago, Jan. 19.-In the sheep mar
ket there was material change in
prices. The receipts were not large.
but buyers have the impression that
the scale of prices current is as high
as they can AFFORD to give.
Chicago, Jan. ~. Thomas, OF
Rose Hill. and w. C. Reed, of Oska-
loosa. were on the market this week.
Chicago, June 19.-There was a fair
outlet for horses at steady prices.
Trade was fairly active and barns
were we'll cleared. Fairly good to
choice drafters went in Eastern or
ders at $170@25O, bulk $190@225. Ice
concerns went in for good weight
chunks at s165@2OO, paying up to $225
occasionally. Most horses purchased
for coal and ice companies landed at
$175@210. Country orders for farm
mares and chunks were filed at SIPS
OTIS, bulk $l35@160. Southern
classes went at s75915O, few above
$125.

Social Department.

The work of your committee this
year has not been very laborious, owing
to the fact that we have had very few
formal social affairs. We have en-
deavored, however, to cooperate with
the other committees in making the
Association "the most popular place
in town." for young men.
When you think of the large num-
Der of young men in the city who are
apparently not interested and who
never come to the Association, you
will say that We have fallen down
most woefully in this regard, but II
YOU will spend a few evenings with
ne in the rooms below you will no
tice several groups of young men
discussing base ball, foot ball or
basket ball, whichever happens to De
in season; another group in the read
ing room pouring over the papers and
magazines; another group In the gal
lery of the Gymnasium watching the
antics of the class on the floor, and
still another group in the game room
playing cue-roque, | am sure that you
will agree with me that | say that
the Association is popular as a social
center, and We. intend, with the help
of every one here this evening, to
make it still more so.
On September list, a slate-bed, cue
rouue table, one of the best to be had,
was placed in the game room for the
use of the Senior members and we
are glad to note that it was a good
investment, proving to be a social
center in itself, and always busy.
A piano was placed in the recep'
ton room and our musical friends
have made good use of the same.
In order that the social rooms may
be still more attractive, the Board
has recently contracted to have ali
of the rooms on the first floor retinted
and decorated and work on the same
will begin in a few days.
The following is detailed report
of some of the more forznel phases Of
our social work during the year 1909:
