FAR EAST IN NEED OF GOSPEL
X. G. Hall Tells Volunteer Band of
Chances In China and Japap,

The great problems facing the world
today are industry and internationaIism
from the standpoint Of humanity" saic
X. O. Hall in a talk on The Opportuni
ties for Church Work in the Far East al
meeting Of the Students Voluniee,
Band at Lowry Hall Thursday n;xht
The things which strike a stranger in
the Orient are the tremendous change.
which are taking place there. In nv
opinion, the worlds affairs center around
three races of people: the Anglo -Saxons
the siaVs. and the Mongolians. The
greatest OF these. to our humanitarian in
terests. are the Mongolians the Chinese
in particular" Mr.. Hall said.
" ] have spent many years in foreign
work, especially in Siam, where | have
personally ties that bind me. In those
years Of brotherly service I have learned
the fine mental fibre. physical fitness. and
initiative Of the Chinese, who nigh,
well be called the Yankees Of the East.
Progress in that section is dependen,
upon them.
Into that changing section has come
western civilization. Since 1913. the
number Of factories in Tokio has doubled
and today Japan is one Of the greatest
industrial countries Of the world. Her
commerce has increased proportionaiely.
But commerce is not the backbone Of
civilization and there is a great need for
the Gospel there. ! am not sure but that
American tobacco and Standard Oil have
been carried farther into the interior than
the Gospel The traditions and primi.
tive religious customs Of the Oriental
people cannot hold out any longer. The
church faces great opportunities in the
plastic condition Of China. Jesus, Paul
and Luther came into the world in
plastic iime-ihey came because the
world was ready for them. Ii is our
duty it is prime necessity. that we carry
the Gospel Of Jesus Christ to the inner
most interior Of China.
THE finer aspects Of our western
civilization have not been carried TO the
Orient and it is absolutely necessary that
the Christian missionary carry it. The
only type Of our civilization which the
mass Of people there know has been
brought to them by business men, tenn
porarily stationed in China, and not men
Of the highest type.

Here's One of Things
Wrong With Our
Citu Market

An insight into one of the things
that is wrong with our city market
was obtained Saturday by n visit to
the curb market, where wagons and
trucks bearing the following names
were found in sections presumed to
be reserved for producers:
Frank Liggera, wholesale fruits"
'L. j. Richenback, florist"
&c. Il. ShideIer, wholesale produce"
"Sam Toledo, groceries"
Erred Minger, Inc, wholesale
fruits"
George Mills, wholesale commits
sion.'
"Joe Ray, wholesale fruit"
George NJ. Risk, department store"
"rhe Bour Co."
"Huclster license No. 1O4," year
1919.
It is n weIl-known fact that COM
mission men dump their surplus food
stuffs on the city market when its
condition becomes such that they
must dispose of 1t at once or loose 1t.
Producers who have bean questioned
as TO why they do not sell on the
market have complained that the only
way they can obtain desirable stands
is to buy the produce placed on q
stand by a commission house ped
Ter and thereby acquire the right to
the stand for the day.

LOOSE ENDS OF
CITY BUSINESS
BOB UPTONIGHT
City Market and Municipal
Yards Are Issues Awaited
by Councilmen.
JEWETT ALIBI DENIED

Several loose ends of city business,
which have been loose so long they are
getting frayed from being battered about
by political winds. may or may not be
gathered up by the city council at It's
regular meeting tonight, depending upon
whether or not the Jewett administrator
decides to put them within the councils
grasp.
OF equal age and bad condition from
political wear are the proposals to re-
habiIitate the city market and to build a
municipal yards.
The board of public safety last Tues
day announced it would seek to have in
troduced an ordinance appropriating
$125, 900 to put the market in sanitary
condition.
Mayor JeMett a week ago announced
, he intended very shortly to start the ball
rolling for the construction OF city
buildings on the municipal yard site,
owned by the city at Kentucky avenue
and Droyer streets.
The board of public safety, if the
measure is presented tonight, puts the
$125, 900 market house appropriation
ordinance up to the council with its
fingers crossed, it is understood
Members of the council have emphati-
calIv stated upon several occasions that
they stand for cleaning up the market,
and that without further delay. but that
they do not propose to become party TO
any procedure which would put within
the hands of the Jewett administration

New floors and a complete new sewer
age system are what are most needed at
the market members state.

councilmen believe.
The board Of safety. however, presents
its demand for S12j,000 in the spirit OF
a man who asks for a whole lot in or
der that he may get at least little, it
is said
IL ever the Jewett administration was
faced By a popular and insistent ciamor
for a public benefit, that demand IS now
coming from the women of the south
side.
The council, through Jacob p. Brown,
chairman of the special committee ap-
pointed to investigate the women's de-
mands, has promised to keep right after
the matter"
The board Of public works. at con-
ference held at the barns Aug. >.

the equipment, including the 100 obnoxi-
GUS mules, to which the women object
more than anything else, might be
