to Draw Good Congregations.
Since the last report. the special meet
inps have continued with reasonableRood-
interest, and several persons have maze
known there desire to enter upon the
right way of living.
Rev. A. H. Beaver of theBaptist church
occupied the pulpit beginning on Friday
night of last week and closing on We'd
nesday night OF this week. Practical
convincing gospel sermons were delivered
to large attentive audiences. and the in
terest which has been manifested sinoe
the opening service is an indication
of a the serious consideration that
is being given to the all important
question Of the righteous life.
Monday night is recognized by church
workers as the one night in the week
when people are inclined to remain
away from evangelistio services. but the
interest did not abate on Monday night OF
this week.
On last night Rev. F. W. Collins OF the
Christian church delivered the address
which continued the appeal that the only
wise way is for all to accept Christ as
the Savior OF mankind and walk in the
way which He has marked out.
The testimony meetings have been
season Of encouragement. and the work
of the choir, under Mr.. Elser's direction is
adding much to the worship. The gospel
in song sometimes touches the heart
when the words of the minister fail. and
faithfulness here will bring its reward
While it is not possible to mention all the
good features in regard to music. no one
will feel sighted IL mention is made OF
the duet" Jesus Lover Of My Soul and
the solo and the chorus Drifting down
which were used as special selections on
Tuesday evening. Miss Shelton and Mr.
Elser used the first selections bsfore the
sermon, while Mr.. Elser and the audience
sang the latter as invitation hymn.
The cottage prayer meeting began on
Tuesday afternoon and held from two
thirty until three thirty in four different
sections of the city. The interest in this
part of the reveal has been encouraging
from the time of the first meeting.
The services will be confined during
the coming week. and all are urged to be
present at the Presbyterian church at
seven thirty each evening except Satur-
day.

"MOTHER"
A Fine, Vital Play that is Being
Well Acted.

Says the MinneapolisJourna Mother"
the current production at the Shubert. is
an interesting. well constructed drama OF
American family life. in which are blend
ed in happy proportions the elements OF
natural comedy and stressful crisis. The
family is no less the basis of our modern
complicated society than it has been OF
all the simpler precedent form Of SOC
iety. 1t is well. then, that the family
should become the theme of dramatic
discussion. Jules Eokert Goodman has
taken typical American family, in which
the father has died. leaving sufficient
estate to maintain the mother and her
six children. Each Of these children. from
the Oldest son who has married worth
less woman, to the boy twins, presents a
differing problem for the mother. Yet for
each problem there is one universal SOL
vent. mother love. This is the magic that
enables the little woman to carry the
family through to ultimate reunion, and 10
save it from disgrace. if she cannot save
it frem comparative proverty.
As dramatic treatment of that finest
yet most elemental of human emotions,
mother love, Mr. Goodman's play is vita
and compelling. At the same time it is
full Of good entertainment of the natural
unaffected sort.

The WESTERN STOCK SHOW.
The Big Agricultural Event Of the
Intermountain Country Will
Draw Stockmen and Farm
ers to Denver.

The Seventh Annual National West
ern Stock Show, which will be held IN
Denver during the week of January
1920, promises to be the greatest OF
all the shows yet held there. Thls
big annual event has grown to be the
principal agricultural event Of the
year in the intermountain country.
EVERY year it has extended Its In
fluence and has developed into
great national exhibition or exposi-
ton. The secret of the success OF
this show is the fact that the prime
object, that of education, has never
for momen. been forgotten. While
the entertainment part is not over
looked, even the entertainment has
more or less of educational value and
the strictly circus features are elimi-
mated.
The show consists Of four great de-
partments. each a show in itself.
There is the stock show, which takes
in the breeding and fat stock both in
single entries, groups and car loads.
Then there is the Horse Show. which
provides the entertainment and at the
same time demonstrates the horse in
all of his phases. The National West
ern Poultry Show is one of the big
features and very popular and the
Feed and Forage exhibit takes in a
wide range of crops that can be grown
in the West and which are suitable
for the production of live stock.
The commercial end of the show is
found in the carload exhibits, where
farmers and stockmen exhibit the
product of the ranch and range In CON-
petition and after the competitive
test and awarding of ribbons the stock
is sold at public sale, giving the
further test OF actual value in dollars
and cents. In addition there are held
sales of pure bred cattle, horses. sheep.
hogs and poultry. which provides the
farmer and stockman an opportunity
to secure choice breeding stock at fair
prices.
AS an entertainment, the big show
is well worth visit. AS an educa-
tional medium and a strictly business
proposition. no stockman or farmer
in the West can afford to miss IT.
Last January more than $4,000 West
ern stockmen and farmers visited the
show. 1t is expected that nearer 49,
900 will attend the coming show and
the railroads have made rates that
will enable all to attend.

THE STANDARD BRED HORSE.
An American Type That at Last VIII
Be Recognized in the Show
Rinu.

At last the standard bred horse, one
of the few types of American liVe
stock in existence, Is to be recognized
with classification in the show ring
at the Denver show in january. For
years the educational institutions have
protested against the standard bred
trotter as not the horse to recommend
o the American farmer. This pre-
udice was largely due to the fact that
The breed was principally regarded as
4 race horse and while they were bred
oy thousands of American farmers al
most every breeder was busy watching
his colts for the development of the
s1OO, 900 trotter that all have hoped
'or and SO few have realized. But
there has been a class of breeders
through the West who have con-
sistently bred this horse for utility.
rhe farmer not only wants a horse
10 plow and draw heavy loads. but he
wants light horse that can take him
o town easily and quickly and as
natter of fact this type of horse has
crown to be one of the most useful
and popular all over the country.
The action of the United States gov
ernment in selecting this breed from
which to develop an American car
-iage horse has had the effect Of turn
ing attention to this breed IN 'ate
years and investigation shows that as
A foundation type for either a carriage
horse or fancy saddler, there is none
better. At the Denver Stock Show,
which opens on January 18th, null
classification has been made for the
Standard breed and it will be well
TILED. With the exhibition of the new
American carriage horse founded on
this type, the harness horses from all
parts of the country in the horse show,
nearly all of them with more or less
Standard blood. the show is likely to
prove of great interest in an cduca-
tional way as to the possibilities in
this great American breed. The only
trouble with the breed is that 1t mas
been bred for speed and without re-
gard to size or conformation. lntelli-
gent breeding will make this one OF
the greatest breeds In the world.
