MEN ARE INVITED TO
Y. w. c. A. ANNUAL MEET

For the first time in the history
of the Young Women's Christian
association, men have beer invited
10 be present at the annual meeting
of the organization, which will take
place Thursday evening, beginning
with a supper at $50 o'clock. The
board of directors feel that the men
who have contributed so literally
to the support of the association,
should be informed as TO what their
money has accomplished during the
past year, and so nave asked them
TO attend the meeting in order that
they may hear the reports for 1918.
The tickets for the supper are on
sale at the Y. w. c. A, and as a
limited number only "a he &C
comodated, an earnest request
comes from the entertainment com
mittee that members should secure
k at once. All reservations
must be in by Wednesday night.
The program, following the re-
ports will be given by the girls in
the aesthetic dancing classes of the
Y. w. c. A. and by the choral club
of the Wilson Brothers factory.
Mrs. Bryant will also sing.

SPEAKS TO
MEN ONLY ON SUNDAY

Evangelist Chester Birch spoke 70
men only on Sunday afternoon at
the United Brethren church. SOS s.
st. Joseph ST. He said in part, Men
take fire into their bosoms when
they treat lightly the church, Saw
Jour or the word Of God; when they
indulge in profanity. gambling and
licentiousness." He clearly showed
how sin as a fire consumes char
acter. noble impulses and ultimate
" ruins what could be a beautiful
and useful life.
The Amphion male quartet of
Westminster Presbyterian church
rendered several selections.
In the evening service the evan
gelist preached a powerful and per-
suasive message 10 a crowded house.
He pointed out from Bible charac-
ters the results Of men harboring
sin in their lives. Sin is here. II
deluged the world in 10 four years
Of b~loodshed. II has and is defeating
many a promising young life. He
then clearly showed the remedy in
Jesus Christ.

SLIGHTLY
UP At OPENING
Most Leading Issues Record
Fractional Gains in
Early Trading.

NEW YORK. Jan. 13.-A
generally lower range of values
prevailed during the early
hours Of today's session owing
TO lack OF any kind OF impor-
tant news and there seemed
little incentive to attract atten-
zion to the market. L. s. Steel,
usually the leader in a market
movement made a new low
price OF 90 3-S on the present
downswing. At midday a slight
rally occurred probably due TO
the covering of shorts but as
soon as this buying power was
exhausted prices resumed their
dragging tendency. One excep-
ton TO the general recession
was seen in Goodrich Rubber
which advanced three points. II
is a traders market pure and
simple and until something de-
velops that will be construed as
favorable prices will probably
continue in a narrow range.
The intrinsic merit underlying
our good railroads and the rich
ness OF the country as a whole
should now be given thoughtful
consideration regardless of the
phantom Of government
ship.

Gossip of the Markets

New York Financial News SAYS
Inquiries in prominent stock ex-
change circles suggest that private
demand for stocks is OF substantial
proportions. 1t is understood that
this is in the metal group and
among rails 70 a greater degree
than appears in other departments
OF the market. II is also stated
that the motor stocks are oversold.
investigations Of the money out
look draw forth information from
reliable circles indicating that while
the supply is not likely to be plenti-
full until after the fOtation Of the
next Liberty loan. there is no
doubt that slackening business and
war activities are causing an &C
emulation Of idle funds at large
monetary centers and that there is
no reason TO think that the stock
market will decline for lack OF
such ammunition even IL il is not
permitted TO rise broadly at the
moment.
Wei informed and active mar
ket channels are very friendly at
