nant by Mr.. Nash was, that In live an
upright life, all man liz required TO
do is to copy after the life lived by
Jesus Christ, during His short min
lstry on this earth Mr.. Nash made IL
plain that, nowadays, people think that
to be a Christian. one must believe In
and know the doctrines preached and
upheld by the different sects, but that
this rs not the great thing in living a
Christian life. AS expressed by the
speaker, one must know God to be a
Christian and by knowing God that
person will try to live the life Of Jesus
A fact that very few are familiar
with about the life of Jesus Christ is
that during His SO years Of life on this
earth, lie preached only about three
years, more or less. 1t was was His
preaching that made Him what He was
in the eyes of His disciples. but the
life He lived during His childhood and
when He was carpenter
One of the great things in the life OF
Jesus that made Him so great in the
eyes of God and His disciples was that
His first thought in anything was not
of Himself, but of others. Mr.. Nasn
says that this one point stands out to
him more than anything else in the life
OF Jesus as 1t is known today.
Mr.. Nash said that when men come
to him In Cleveland for advice on re-
hgious subjects and want to know how
to live Christian life. he always tells
them to copy as closely as possible the
life Of Jesus and be such a person as
Jesus was. Very often, he said, young
men ask him what Jesus was and he
tells them that He was a man who nev-
er preached anything but what He ac-
tually practiced Himself and that what
He advised man to do. He expected
him to do Immediately and not wait un-
til 20 years of his life had been wasted

LIFE OF CHRIST Is
A PERFECT MODEL
Young People Can Do No
Better Than Be Copy
ing His Principles

A goodly number Of Mt. Vernon men
heard Augustus Nash, of the religious
department of the Cleveland Y. M. C.
A., at the local "Y" Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Nash's address on What Is Liv-
ing a Christian Life" was very inter
esting and all who were present at the
meeting enjoyed the talk very much.
The invocation was pronounced by
the Rev. j. A. Long of the Church of
Christ, this city. Several selections
from the Y. M. G. A. hymn book were
sung by the audience after which two
very pleasing numbers were rendered
by the Mt. Vernon college quartet.
Mr. Nash, the speaker for the after
noon was introduced by the secretary
of the local Y. M. G. A, d. M. Spence,
after which he began his interesting
discussion of religion and the living
of a Christian life by the common
place man.

FIRST time in
SEVERAL YEARS
Kenyon Is To Meet Denison
In Football
BATTLE is EXPECTED
Newark Chamber of Commerce And
Rotary Club to Work With Joint
Committee of Alumni, In
Making The Affair Big

Granville, March 19-One of the big
football treats of the 1917 season will
be offered in Newark, o., on Thanks
giving Day, when Denison and Ken
yOn hook up in the first of series of
Turkeyday contests.
The plan for Thanksgiving game
between these two strong teams has
been hanging fire for several seasons
and only recently the Kenyon manage
ment decided to take on Denison's s
gridiron warriors for season-ending
contest. Particular interest attaches
to the game because it is the first
time Denison and Kenyon have met
in football since the Ohio conference
was recognized. Denison has played
brand of football in recent years
that makes Livingston's gridiron ath-
letes a favorite over the wearers of
Kenyon's mauve, but the Gambierites
have splendid prospects for 1917 and
those who know predict hard-fought
battle.
The plans for the Denison-Kenyon
game in Newark are in the hands of a
joint committee of alumni of the two
schools, consisting of Carl Weiant and
M. H. Baker for Kenyon and Charles
Fl. Spencer and J. Howard Jones, rep
resenting Denison. The Newark cham
ber of commerce and the Rotary club
are boosting the plans for the game,
and it promises to be one of the big
events of next falls Ohio conference
race.

Comes Through Delaware
Tourney With Untar-
nished Record
ALL DOPE rs UPSET
stivers, Picked To Win Again, Goes
Down In Defeat Before Upstate
Five Which Has Developed
Wonderfully In Space
OF Three Years

Three years ago, Huron high school
sent to Delaware one of the weakest
teams in the northern division. To-
day, almost this same team holds the
basketball championship title of the
state.
Contrary to the dope Of many, HUI
ron came through in the finals at Del
aware Saturday afternoon after her
players had defeated the strong East
Liverpool FIVE In the morning, snatch
ing honors away from Stiyers high Of
Dayton, last years champions, by the
score Of 81 to Is.
The Huron-East Liverpool score
was 2O-12. Stivers won from Cumber-
land, 26 to 3. These were semi-final
matches.
1t was the strong work of Huron's
guards that enabled it's team to battle
through to championship honors.
Mumma and Lightner of Stivers, two
of the good forwards of the state scho-
lastically, were held to brace of bas-
kets each by the Huron guards.
Mt Vernon rooters who saw both
Huron and East Liverpool in action
several weeks ago, predicted that
these teams would clash in the semi
finals. Most of these same men
thought the odds favored the latter
team. Again, they had it doped that
Stivers would win out in the finals
so there you are.

AS told by Mr. Nash, Jesus was a man
without ideals because ideals are what
represent the impossible attainment
and Jesus never preached what He did
not practice Himself.
During his talk Mr.. Nash advised the
boys to marry by the time they we're
q years old and jokingly told row
OF young men to get busy. lie said
that man who waits until late in life
to marry often breaks away from the
church and ''is no good" On the other
hand, a young married man Is more
likely to become interested in the
church and work hard for his religious
institution.
Closing his address Mr.. Nash said
that all men OF today should try to
live the life of Jesus by preaching moth
ing but that which they actually prac-
tice themselves, to remember the 9TH
or fellow first, TO help others, to with
isand all temptation and finally to
live clean, upright, honest life that
they may be sure of place in heaven.
Mr. Nash offered a short prayer and
the benediction was pronounced by the
Rev. Foster c. Anderson of the NJ. E.
church Of this city.
Following the benediction, the men
who attended the meeting sang hymn
from the Y. NJ. c. A. hymnal after
which the Mt Vernon college quartet
rendered several selections.
The local Y. n. c. A. was fortunate
in securing Mr.. Nash who ia widely
known as Y. NJ. c. A. man and for the
mass meeting OF men next Sunday the
speaker win probably be DR.. Bates of
Hiram college.
So far the Y. NJ. G. A. mass meetings
have been very successful and have
been self-supporting as they should be.

Pool Room Causes
Arrest
Proprietor Hailed Into Court, Where
He Pleads Not Guilty; Hearing
Tuesday

P. Mavromates, the proprietor of
the Mecca pool room which is located
on the corner of Mulberry and High
street, was arrested by Chief of Po-
lice Parker Saturday afternoon at 3
o'clock on a charge of allowing the
playing of pool for money.
Chief Parker heard of young man
in this city losing about $50 in sew
eral games Of pool at the Mecca pool
room and started to investigate. He
found the person who won the money
and then called Mavromates to the
mayors office where he questioned
him as to a pool game that was play
ed on or about the 18th of February
at the Mecca pool room. When May
or C. A. Mitchell read the affidavit to
Mavromates for the charge of allow
ing gambling in his place of business,
the Greek disclaimed all knowledge
of the fact that the young men were
playing for money. The affidavit was
signed by Chief Parker.
After the affidavit had been read to
the man, he was asked if he were
guilty or not guilty.
After some hesitation, the prisoner
pleaded not guilty to the charge
against him and his hearing was set
for Tuesday, March 20, at o'clock in
the afternoon. Bond was placed at
5000 and was furnished. Mavromates
was released.

MONTANA WHEAT
PRICE ABOUT $|.97

With the fixing of the price of
wheat by the government Montana
wheat farmers, knowing the grade of
their grain, can figure it's value very
closely by deducting from the Mime
apolis market price the freight rate
from their shipping point, plus COM
mission of two cents per bushcl The
bulk of Montana wheat grades No. /
red winter, S2.l7 at Minneauols.
G. A. Bailey, Montana manager of
the McCaull-Dinsmorc Grain company
has been advised the Minncauolis
quotations are as follows.
No. l north dark spring wheat,
S2.21; No. l northern spring, S2.17:
No. northern spring, $2.14; No. 3
northern spring, S2.11; No. northern
spring, $2O7; No. dark hard winter
wheat, S2.2l No. l red winter wheat,
S2.17.
Government regulations provide
commission houses can charge either
one per cent of the gross proceeds or
not over two cents a bushel for COM
mission. Elevators can buy wheat
at whatever price they see fit, so
long as it isnot higher than the gov
ernment fixed prices. This regula-
tion will either result in growers
consigning their wheat directly to
commission houses at terminal points,
to avoid selling at the lower price
the elevators would pay, or else it
will force the elevators to handle
grain on the same commission basis
as is charged by the terminal
houses.

REMOVE TRAINS
TO HELP WAR

Since the war began more than
our months ago, railroads operating
j = the central, southern and western
11litary departmental divisions have
reduced passenger train service s.
100000 miles. This fact was brought
2lt at the last weekly meeting of the
committee on car service held in St.
Paul.
The states of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
North and South Dakota and Montana

ritory. The action was taken by the

s,an-power. fuel and locomotives in
order that the carriers might better
sd the government in conducting the
war. according to G. w. Nurnane,
secretary of the Twin City body.
Cooperation is being manifested
by the various railway commissions
in helping the roads to carry out
their policy. So far it has not been
deemed expedient to take off long
ti!stance trains. The railway exec
0tives are making every possible ef-
fort to reduce this service in such a
way as will not inconvenience the

WHEAT PRICES DO
NOT PLEASE EQUITY

Claiming that the government fixed
price Of $3.50 for wheat in Chicago
will mean that the Montana farmer
will receive an average of only SITS
per bushel for his product. the state
society of Equity protests and de-
clares that they cannot profitably
raise wheat and sell at this price. es-
pecially in view Of the excessive high
cost of everything they have to buy.
Washington wheat growers are ex-
pressing dissatisfaction also. and at
a meeting attended by more than 100
wheat growers protest was made
against the price of $2.2O at Chicago
and will probably result in a protest
being sent to Washington. They con-
tend that the highest price possible
to obtain for their wheat will be
S19O per bushel.

TON OF COAL At
NINE COSTS $l.82

At the coal rate hearing held be-
fore the Montana Railroad commits
sion on Tuesday, William Freaks,
chief clerk of the Northwestern I'm
provement company, testified that the
costper ton of coal at the mines at
the present time is S1S2, whereas
S1.5S
Mr.. Freaks testified that eighteen
months ago the cost of ton of coal
fob. the cars at the mine was S1.5S
Since that time there have been two
increases in the cost of labor totaing
II cents, and other increases that
total seven cents.
The testimony is considered inter
esting in view of the fact that some
of the producers are now in Washing
ton contending they will shut down
their mines before they will sell coal
at the price fixed by the government,
ranging from S27O to 1896 per ton
at the mine.
The Northwestern Improvement
company is a subsidiary of the Nor
thern Pacific railway company and
exclusively controls the Rocky Fork
at Red Lodge. None of it's coal is on
the commercial market at the present
time.
