McConnell of Den- ? ver, Cal., said tonight in speaking at ( the convention of the student volun- ? teer movement for foreign mission. 1 The bishop said that competition had been replaced by cooperation * among nations both economical and 1 socially.

Approximately 76 per cent of the men missionaries of Ntfrth America . and the same per cent of the anmar- 1 ried women missionaries in the last 33 years have been furnished; by the student volunteer movement for foreign missions, the executive committee reported at the convention today. The report was read by John R. Mott, chairman of the executive board, at the morning session. It w nt into detail . of the movement since it was organized 33 years ago. Approximately, 1,000 institutions wfcich have an enrollment of about 300,000 students are represented in th? organization today. Its records show, that 8,140 of the students enrolled as volunteers have gone to mission fields and of that number 2,202 were sent since the convention six years ago in Kansas City. ' Last year in itforth America 47,666 students were studying missionary subjects in 3,000 classes. i "FLO FLO" FRIDAY . 1 With its song novelties and ifs j dance surprises, John Cort's mirthfill and melodious oroluetion en- , titled Flo-Flo, will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House starting ^ nej& Friday night Jan. 9th. for a . limited engagement of one night on- ] ly. " , Flo-Flo has five comedians, Geo. i S. Kinnear as "Robert Simpson" and , Sam Howard as "Iaidor , Moser," partners, who own and operate the ( fashionable Bride Shop, create most , of the merriment. Fairbanks plays the part of the American who wants j. to spend everything to advertise the! business, while Fein wants to save all he can and still~~get results, The complications brought about by this curious contrast brings forth gales of , laughter. Then there are Andy Francis anti John Ross as "Pink" and "Mud", who are "handy in picking up things, and who burlesque everything that happens during the performance in such a way as to make one hold one's sides. Then last but j not least comes Gus Vaughn in a' rather odd part?tha? of a police-! ' man? who also -interjects comedy j'into his dialogue that causes many a , laugh. / Carl Fletcher, as the boy rube, dances and sings "There's Only Que Little Girl," "When A Small Town Boy Meets A Small Town Girl" and "I Dont Know What You See In Me," that have a rhymth to them which keeps the audience swaying'.

It appears from the evidence at the' inquest over the dead negro that thre3 of the prrty of boys shot at the rabbit and the dispute arose between the party who shot first and the one ">o rhot last.

BRYAN REPEATING OLD-TiME TACTICS j " ' m Washington, Jan. 2.?Political , gossip in Washington during the holiday season has had a new sub- a |ect, taking precedence even over the President's illness and that the lea?U pf nations tie-up in the S^* This new "paramount" subject is the apparition of former Secretary >f State William J. Bryan, who had " by the generality of political ob-1 servers been regarded as in class of! baseball batter who has accumulated three called strikes. Therefore, the Mew Year cannot be described as an jxtravagantly happy one in the j Democratic fold. By suddenly coming to Washington in an avowed effort to relievePresident Wilson of embarrassment 1 jy promoting a compromise on the league of nations in the Senate, and incidentally being the guest of tionor at a dinner to which most of ;he Democratic members of the Senate were invited, the "peerless leader" has practically served notice :hat he intends to make another effort of the same sort that he ma^e in 1912, when he Ws the Warwick 3f the Democratic national convention and came near being its nominee. I No Roosevelt Offset Now. What will the Democratic party 'V with Mr. Bryan? Or what will M*Bryan do with the Democratic party? These are the paramount questiobeing asked among the poli'H? ? here today. The came question would have been pertinent to the Republican party and Col. Roosevelt # the latter had lived.
