CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR RALLY;
CELEBRATE 35th ANNIVERSARY
35th Anniversary ot' Organization
Celebrated—Minutes of First
Cooper Endeavor 21 Years
Ago.
A Christian Endeavor rally was held
at the M. P. church last Sunday in
observance of Christian Endeavor
week, February 6th, being the 35th
anniversary of the founding of the
Endeavor.
An interesting program was ren-
dered. One of the most interesting
things was the reading of the minutes
of the first Christian Endeavor organ-
ized in Cooper at the close of the fam-
ous Spanswiek revival which was held
during the winter of 1895. As there
are many well known names in the
minutes, some of who have passed on
before, they are reproduced below:

WILSON TO ALTER
ARMY FLAN SOME?
Washington, Feb. 9.—Worried over
prospects for the continental army
plan devised by Secretary Garrison
and indorsed by himself, President
Wilson today began a series of con-
ferences with House leaders out of
which he hopes some plan that will
go through Congress may be devis-
ed.
Today he conferred with Chairman
Hay of tha House Military Commit-
tee, and Dent and McKeller, Demo-
cratic members. Tomorrow he will
talk with Kahn, Anthony and McKen-
zie, Republican members of the same
committee.

Tomorrow night and again Satur-
day afternoon the last chapter of the
“Diamond From the Sky.” Every-
body is going to comp and see who
gets the diamond. This chapter clos-
es one of the most interesting serials
ever put on the screen.
Manager Sparks tells us that be-
ginning Friday, the 18th, lie will
*4- start the “Red Circle,” a very thrill-
ing and interesting serial picture and
one that will hold the interest of all
as well as did the Diamond. This
picture is complete in 14 chapters and
features the popular Ruth Roland, the
girl who you learned to like so well in
the ‘ Who Pays” pictures.
The management of the Lyric tells
us that the “Red Circle” will be run
just like the Diamond From the Sky—
< n Friday nights and Saturday after-
noons—this is done for the benefit of
the out of town patrons who cannot
come in at night.
Those who are missing the big fea
ture pictures being put on every day
at the Lyric since moving into its
new home are certainly missing a
treat for no where can you see these
pictures at the low price of 5 and 10
V cents—but the motto of the Lyric is
to fill' the housd at 5 and 10 cents
rather than half full at 10 and 2i!
