THE GOSPEL IN A
CONFUCAN STRONGHOLD

or more than average significance
is the fact that Christian work has
lately opened in the ancient city OF
| Chufu. North China. AS many know,
this was the birthplace of Confuc ius
and the center of his teaching at the
start of his career He was buried a
short distance outside the city walls.
Here, also, is an imposing Confucian
temple.
A desirable property has been secur-
ed in Chufu by the Methodist Episco-
pal Board. with room enough for
schools, church and residences That a
Christian body should find 1t possible
to center an important work in this
Confucian city Is another proof that
the Cross OF Christ is conquering
China.
A number of Japanese teachers in
government schools recently paid a
visit of inspection to the Margaret K.
Long Girls School. in Tokyo, an In

Their purpose was to study especial

SHORTAGE HITS
 FERTILIZERS
INABILITY OF ARKANSAS PLANT TO GET PHOSPHATE ROCK SEE RlOUSLY AFFECTS OUTPUT
 OF LOCAL PLANT.

The shortage of freight cars is se- riously affecting the output of the Ar kansas Fertilizer Company, which finds it almost impossible to get phos- phate rock for the manufacture of acid phosphate. The plant has been closed for three weeks and is 5000 tons be- hind the product of normal year.
 '"The outlook for the~demand for fer tilizer this year is exceptionally bright says E. E. Newhouse, mana ger of the Arkansas Fertilizer Com pany plant, but the prospects for fill ing the orders is correspondingly gloomy. My advice is to those who need fertilizers to order early, for un- less something very unexpected hap pens, our annual output will be ma terially curtailed.
 We have phosphate rock purchas- ed, and contract for it that has years to run, so we would get all we need of it if the railroads could haul it. I am told that the big packers are sending their refrigerator cars to the Tennessee phosphate beds, hauling the raw material in them to their plants. Other fertilizer manufacturers are in the same condition as we are, so the entire output this year is going to be exceedingly light"

DETROIT FAYORS
 PROHIBITION
DOES NOT FEAR LOSS OF FAC TORY LABOR AFTER LAW BE COMES EFFECTlVE-BREW-
 FRIES CHANGE PLANS.

Detroit, Dec. 19.-Without exception every downtown merchant in the tex tile and other lines of retail com merce, when asked to express himself on the probable effect of prohibition on his business, stated that it could only bring good results, because it would give men themselves and their wives more money to spend and, as consequence, they would spead at least a portion of it with the mer- chants for the necessities of life, which many people now go without,
 The theory that it would drive many men out of positions is ridicul- ed by the fact that Detroit has SO many diversified interests there will be plenty of room to take care or those in the saloons and breweries who may be thrown out of employ ment
 Several of the large breweries have already announced their intentions to engage in other lines, such as storage, ice making, dye making, soft drinks, etc, so, while on the face of it prohi- bition may look as if it would be T, detfiment, because of the people it would throw out of employment, mer- chants say that an analysis of the situation shows that it ought to be a good thing in every way.

IN telling the story. For the first
time in years it is possible to print
tho score with Tonopah at the long
and Winning from Tonopah had
gotten to be habit with Goldfield--
a habit that was difficult to break.
The victory was direct result of the
pbysical training to which the Tono-
pah boys have subjected themselves
since the opening of the term. A
snectator could easily see the steady
change from the odds in favor of
Coldfeld, at the beginning of the
game, to the point where the teams
appeared evenly matched, and, from
then until the end Of the game, the
continually increasing odds in favor
Of Tonopah
The game was called at O'Clock.
Goldfeld received the ball and by a
quick succession of plays which Tono-
pah seemed unable to solve. carried
the ball across the field for a touch

Of play. They failed to kick goal.
For the remainder of the quarter the
Tonopah boys were on the defensive
practically all the time, but by hard
work prevented GoldfeId from scor-
ing again. In the second quarter
Tonopah gradually assumed the often
siye as Goldheld weakened, and near
the end OF the quarter Burdette Pol
lard carried the ball over for the first
Tonopah touchdown-and the prize

candy store. Tonopah kicked goal
and left the score at the end of the
half to In favor of Tonopah. After
a Is minute rest the Goldfield boys
came back with renewed vigor and
the two teams were so evenly
matched that neither was able to
score in the third quarter. In the
fourth quarter the Tonopah boys were
apparently holding up under the
grueling physical strain to SO much
better advantage than the Goldfeld
boys that the spectators easily fore
saw the gains that Tonopah would
make during this quarter. In the
last few minutes OF play Tonopah
scored three touchdowns. one by
Jimmie oConnell and two by "Spud'
Harrington. No goals we're kicked

tive Of the American government be-
fore the Carranza government, the for

be given foreigners Of protection on
their trip to the coast. 4
A general exodus among the Ameri-

are able to do so are leaving for Vera

Rodgers called at the foreign Office to-
night for the purpose of arranging for
a special train to leave here Wednes-
day to carry Americans to coast ports.
The result Of his mission has not been
made public.
During the demonstrations today the
American consulate was stoned. The
stoning occurred while Vice Consul
Rowe was in the building and only 10
minutes after Special Representative
Rodgers had left the place. Mr.. Rod
gers tonight protested against the
stoning.
Late this afternoon q commission of
engineers called on Gen. Carranza and
offered a plan for national defense in

came a reality.
The First Chief promised to give
their plan careful consideration.
No American has been in any way

With this information came also the
statement that the orders calling out
the state troops were so framed as to
make it possible to compel the pres
ence at the border at least Of every
man enrolled. They were summoned as
National Guardsmen, in which status
they bear a distinct relation to the fed
eral government and by law are the
first source for securing volunteers
who have no connection with the
states; they were also summoned as
members Of the organized militia and
as such cannot be used beyond the
border. though available for any duty
within the United States.
The draft provision of the new law is
applicable to every member of the Ma
tional Guard and the National Guard
reserve. It cannot be made retroactive,
however, and all National Guardsmen
must voluntarily take the dual oath of
enlistment under the federal and state
governments before they can become
subject to it's operation.
