METHODIST CHURCH
 CONTINUES REVIVAL

Evangelist Will Hawkins of Fort Worth, Texas. spoke last night at the Central Methodist church on 'The Warnings and Promises of God.'' He showed that the warnings of God in re- gard to life of sin were just as cer- tainly true as the promises in regard to a life of righteousness. He declared that if God spoke the truth in regard to the life that now is, it was wise to assume that he spoke the truth about the life beyond; that it was the same God who warned us about stunning hell who invited us to enter heaven.
 Already several have signified de- sire to lead Christian life, and there are several each night who manifest 8 deep interest in the gospel appeal as made by the evangelist. In addition te the two services today at 2: 30 and 7:3( in the church, the evangelist, witf workers, will preach on the street al the corner of Central and Washington at o'clock

CUT IN OPERATING
COST HAS EFFECT
Increased Railroad Earnings
for First Half of Year
Are AnaIyzed.

Increased earnings of the railroads
during the first six months of the
year were attributed, in a statement
issued by the Association of Railway
Executives. to reductions in operat-
ing expenses and to "postponement
of expenditures that must be made If
the roads are to be adequately main
tained.' The increase in earnings,
the statement said, was due largely
to decrease in expenses such as
would have to be resumed If business
were to revive toward normal"
Fewer trains were run, less coal
was used and fewer men were en-
ployed without, however, any re-
duction of wages" according to the
that there was reduction in the
amount of material used, such as ties.
rails and other track material. and
that fewer bad order cars and en-
gines were put into condition.
1T should be borne in mind" the
statement said. that the first six
months of 1921 showed no relief to
the railroads from any reduction in
basic wages, nor from any change in
rules and working conditions. Be-
ginning July l, wage reduction of ap-
proximately IL per cent went into
erect, ana more progress Is being
made toward working conditions con-
ducive to greater efficiency and econ
omy. The second six months of 1921
should. therefore. show an improve
ment over the first six months"
The number of railway employees.
the statement said. was smaller in
March than for any period since the
fiscal year of 1915. During the first
quarter of 1921 the average number
was 1.691,471, compared with 1.993.-
524 for the corresponding quarter in
1920.
For the six months period the ex-
penses for maintenance of ways were
reduced 17.3 per cent, the statement
said. while maintenance expenses of
equipment were cut 90 per cent.
Traffic has fallen off at greater
rate than transportation expenses,
the statement said. because a large
part of the train schedules must be
maintained whatever traffic may be
offered"

VERY LARGE OFFER
MADE FOR HORNSBf
Crack Ball Player of st. Louis Card
mails Wanted By Some Club Will
ing to Give 100000 and
Four Players to Boot.

ST. Louis. Jan. 7.-Another new rec
ord has been created in the history OF
baseball finance by the report from
Houston, Tex, quoting Branch Hickey,
manager of the st. Louis Nationals, as
stating the club had received bona
fide offer of $500 600 and four play
ers for Roger Hornsby, Cardinals Sec
ondbaseman and champion hitter OF the
National league.
This figure more than doubles the re-
ported purchase price given by the New
York Yankees for "Babe" Ruth in n
deal which was conceded to put rec
ord valuation on a players services,
and Is just twice the size of the offer
made by the New York Nationals for
Hornsby early last season.
At that time, according to Presi-
dent Samuel Breadon Of the Cardinals,
the Giants offered $4,000 and two
PLAYERS in exchange for Hornsby When
that was rejected the offer was raised
to 100000 according to Breadon's
statement Breadon asserted the club
wouldn't sell the second baseman for
n million,
Later il was said. the Giants man
agement raised the bid 5000 bringing
the total offer TO a quarter of mil
lion. but again without success.
Rumors that a deal was TO be made
for Hornsby continued to crop up in
baseball circles. after the close Of the
season and several days ago, Judge
Francis y. McQuade treasurer of the
Giants, announced that an offer of
100000 and four players had been met
by President Breadon with the reply
that the club would consider it if one
Of the four players was Frank Frisch.
The New York club would not enter
tain such a proposition, Judge Me
Quadc said.
Hornsby, who is in the insurance
business here, stated recently that he
had no desire to change clubs, and
would prefer to say in st. Louis.
