THE POWER or TRUTH

The Rev. J. Z. Brushingham.
pastor of the South Park Meth
odist Episcopal Church, says;
The presentation of this pic
ture will do more for the cause
of morality than all the reports
ever filed. 1t is hard to CON
ceive of any man leading girl
into wrong doing after watching
the ineXora BILE working out of
the moral law as shown on the
screen. 1t is impossible that
any girl should open the door
to destruction after having been
shown so Vividly what lies be-
yond The picture has the fas-
Cination of great play and the
sledge hammer power of truth
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1917-01-11

For the first time in the his
tory of business. as far as pic
lures are concerned. the second
week is much better than the
first. and 1t should do a big
business everywhere.
GREAT MORAL SERMON
Arthur Burrage Farwel. head
of the Chicago Law and Order
League, makes the following
statement In his letter.
Two of the worst evils which
destroy character and life are
vice and intoxicating liquor.
When designing men desire to
ruin girl. usually liquor is the
strongest ally. Every boy and
girl should understand the dan
gers and be prepared to meet
them. Study this picture The

N. Y. STOCK MARKET
SHOWS BETTER tone
Improvement Occurs After McAdoo
Denies New Loan Rumor.
BY BRoADAN WALL,

New York, Dec. REINFORCEMENT
continued in the stock market today.
In the morning there was a short set
back, due to detailed announcement
of an $780, 10000 ~ per cent bond
issue by the government but when
Secretary McAdoo denied the report
the market recovered. Gains OF above
points were recorded in active issues.
In the last hour there was profit-tak-
ing which shaded the gains an aver
age of a point. The market remained
strong up to the last hour Of trading.
The chief cause for the advance was
the growing belief that Russia Is not
only not going to help Germany but
probably will come back strong on
the side Of the allies. This belief is
based on the fact that Germany Is deal
ing with irresponsible parties in Rus
STA and that the German terms are
not acceptable even to those people.
In the meantime, bad weather is de-
laying operations on the French line
and thus improving the position Of
the allies.
bringing out such startling facts that
ILO u Dc
aroused and thus thoroughly prepared
for the war before long. It was the
bad winter wheat report that broke
the market early In the week, but 1t
Is early enough for the government
to take measures to make up more
than has been lost
Passing of the dividend by National
Conduit sent that stock to a new low
record at 16.
Rumor was current in the street
Of an announcement to be made soon
regarding deductions on income tax
account.
Marine stock was the. favorite with
traders today because they are ex-
pecting a special dividend to be paid
out of the money received from the
sale Of the Holland-American stock
owned by the company. Foreign
bonds were also much stronger. OIL
stocks showed evidence Of the best
kind of buying.
