were defeated for the first time this
season. Shelbina's team work was
splendid while our girls seemed
nervous and did not play anything
like as we'll as usual. Perhaps the
excitement just before they left the
city made them a little nervous as
well as the game No 43 now

turn just below the depot they ran
off small bridge, killed the engine

by running caught the train, but
the experience was rather a nervous

Raise Granted.
were preSe,

The State Public Service Com
mission has granite the main lines
of railroads in the state the rights
to increase passenger rates and an
advance of an average of about
five per cent on freight. The new
rates may be put in effect after
january 1, 1916. The rates then
may be as follows:
Passenger fares raised from two
cents to two and one-half cents a
mile.
Round trip tickets to be sold for
two and quarter cents a mile.
Five hundred and 1000 mileage
books are to be sold at two cents a
mile.
Raise on freight rates approx
imates 5 per cent. Increase deni-
ed on some commodities; granted
on others
The railroads wanted to raise
passengers fares to three cents.
Testimony was presented which
showed that this reduction to two
cents was not offset by an increase
of travel. The operative expenses of
the roads has also increased and
the receipts for 1914 show a loss
when compared with 1918. The
country needs the railroads and
they should get a fair return on the
actual cost and property.

This Men and Millions Team at the
Christian Church.

Christian Ghurch.
Last Sunday morning the mem
bers and friends of the Christian
Church enjoyed the presence of DR..
F. W. Burnham Pres. of A. E. M S.
DR.. G. D. Edwards, Dean of the Bible
College of the University of Mis-
souri,, Mrs. Lawrence, of Kansas
City, Mo, and Miss Ireland of Mex
leo. This team is part of the Men
and Millions Team now touring the
United States in tn interest of the
greatest religious movement every
conducted by one single religious
body.
The aim of this movement is
three fold: The raising of So $780,
600 for enlargement purposes on
the Home and Foreign Fields and
the educational institutions Of the
denominations. R. A. Long, of Kan
sas City gave the first millions dol
lars and half the total amount, has
been raised and only three or four
states have been canvassed No
Offering of less than $4,000 is ac-
cepted from anybody The appeal
is directly to the rich men and
women of the Christian Church.
The enlistment of 1000 lives for
work in the Home and Foreign
Fields is the second aim. The call
is for the very best. The brain
lest, the healthiest and strongest
are called; and children from the
picked homes of the disciples are
cheerfully answering the call.
The every member canvass is the
third aim. The object ef~this is to
get the whole church under the
whole burden of the church. This
plan is meeting with approval in
many quarters.
At the meeting Sunday morning
Miss Ireland spoke of the call of all
fields. China, Japan. India, Africa
and Mexico. Being a missionary
from Mexico, she dwelt largely on
that field. Mexico's need today is
the gospel.
Mrs. Lawrence spoke of the home
field and our answer as body to
that call. while we have made
worthy beginnings our answer has
not been commensurate with the
need.
DR.. Edwards spoke on the call of
life He asked the pungent ques-
tion: how many OF the sons and
daughters of this church had an
swered the call and yet it is only
just tnat tney Sn0uld answer II.
DR.. Burnham is a mighty and
forceful appeal summed up and
amplified the messages of each of
the other speakers.
In the afternoon the teams met
the official board of the church
laying before that body in detail
the working of the every member
canvass.
On Wednesday they will meet
the C. w. B. M. and the Circle in the
afternoon and in the evening the
young people of the church.
