YY: \ se yn Get Palnies vo sees Bone Pa SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1927 | GRAIN LIVESTOCK MARKETS By Associated Press Leased Wire FINANCIAL NEWS WHEAT MARKET Good Buying Develops To- ward Last, Prices Rallying From Early Downturn Chicago, March 5.—()—Good buy- ing which developed toward the last today rallied wheat from an_ early downturn,’ Strength of the Winni- peg market was a bullish influence, together with word that active buy- ing of May wheat there was in prog- ress against sales of July. Protit taking on bulges in Chicago, though tended to check advances here. Wheat closed firm, at the same as yesterday's finish to % cent higher, corn % to % cent off, oats varying from a shade decline to q cent ad- vance, and provisions unchanged to 40 cents down, Advices today from a Chicago crop expert who is making a tour of Texas, observing field conditions for winter wheat, said that from Sher- man to Wichita Falls, the soil is thoroughly soaked, that wheat shows a good stand and color, and is well stooled. The extreme moisture is not injuring wheat, he says, but the crop needs warmer weather to pro- mote growth. Heavy arrivals of wheat at Liver- pool and likelihood of good sized de- liveries there were reported as re- sponsible for unexpected weakness today of the market there. Relative strength. of prices for wheat in North America were represented .as being ignored. British millers, how- said to be purcha: ies of Argentine wheat, both afloat and for immediate ship- ment to Europe. UNDERTONE FIRM ON MILL CITY MARKET Minneapolis, March 5.—()—Wheat futures were irregular and nervous today, with considerable week-end profit taking, but the undertone was firm. Futures were 1% to % cent lower for July and % to % cent higher for. May. Oats were firm early, gaining % cent, but late tone was easy with corn. May rye sold up % cent and fell back part way. May barley was quiet and easy. May flaxseed gained 4 — and lost the advance toward jose. h wheat offerings were larger, but demand was better, both from mills and elevators. Winter wheat was casy. Z Durum’ was in moderate supply and demand was better for milling. quality. a Corn offerings wefe larger and with only a moderate Saturday de- mand lower grades ruled easy. Top grades were scarce and firm. Oats were steady. Barley was firm within an un- changed range. Rye was unchanged. seed was easy to one cent & low SO. ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK South St, Paul, March 5.—(A).

Steel shares held fairly steady on reports of further trade improvement and rumors of stock dividends on some of the independent issues. The short position in the motors appears to have increased as a result of the Packard price cut, the reduction in the Stromberg Carburetor dividend} and the smaller earnings reported for 1926 by the Pierce Arrow and Chrys- ler companies.. Hudson showed sur- prising strength on reports of large current earnings. Further downward revision of gas- oline prices, coupled with record breaking weekly output of crude and heavily increased gasoline and crude stocks in January, had a tendency to keep oils in check, Railroad equip- ments gave one of the best exhibi- tions of group strength in reflection of large railroad orders. hepato tobaceos and chemicals, presente several points of strength, Acute weakness developed, however, in some of the food shares and specialties. STOCK MARKET | CLOSES HEAVY Further Downward Readjust- ment of Prices Take Place in Brief Session New York, March (A)—A fur ther downward readjustment of prices took place in today’s brief session of the stock market. Selling originated largely with bear traders, avho succeeded in uncovering a num- ber pf weak spots in the automotiv issues and specialties but long trad- ers and investors also showed a dis- position to sell and convert their paper profits into cash. Except for further crude oil price cuts, there was little in the day's news which could be construed as bearish. Curiously, oils were prom- inent among the few outstanding strong spots, Houston soaring nearly 10 points to 119 and Atlantic Refin- ing moving up three. Continental Baking “A” yesterday’s weak feature, also received better support. Persistent selling of Dupont, Tim- ken Roller Bearing, General Railwa; Signal, Commercial Solvents “ and United Drug carriedgthose issues down two to nearly four points be- low yesterday’s final quotations. The closing was heavy. Total sales approximated 1,000,000 shares. BISMARCK GRAIN (Furnished hy Russell-Miller Co.) Bismarck, March 5 No. 1 dark northern.

Psychology or the study of thought and its relation and effect cn life is a broad subject. Publishers along this line, while giving part of the truth, are inclined for the sake of gitaaked and financial reasons to hold back part which misleads pub- lic, Those of little faith want Divinity left out of consideration or placed aside, with the assertion that God is within material things, humanity included. ‘True, humanity has a soul, but psychology to develop it like chaff compared to Sacraments of the church. In making psychology attractive to the public, and remunerative to advo- cators some very glaring headlines are used. Creative Power of Thought Much truth here. Knowledge is power as exemplified everywhere, whether load- ing big logs on the Missouri river sand bar, or in steam harnessed in our giants of commerce, pulling trains cr propelling ocean liners. Gas, kerosene and other in- ternal combustion engined have their place in stationary plants, tractors, autos, trucks, boats and aeroplanes. Electric power and all that it has brought is another advancement. At present science is disco’ ring enough latent power in the elec- trons of small amounts common material to destroy the whole earth. Let us hope the discovery of harn zx this latent power be delayed until we are mentally and spiritually competent to use it advantageously, Power Everywhere Power is at Gur command in many ways. We can have as the result of power light, whether the result of candle, electri light, education or spiritual inquiry. Let there be light. ,Sustainance agriculture has nearly defeated itself by efficiency, and still the world is dissatisfied, which proves that bread is not the only necessity of mankind, Comfort, any variety you want.

Power Distributed By Man, But Created By a Supreme Being ing Eo Nor is derived und distributed in countless ways by man, bug in attempt: ing to really create power or materials from which it is derived, we hit the wall separating finite from inf nite and realize our limitations.

In the creator of that power should we not recognize the Fatherhood of God? This has been my opinion for some time, but let it, net be accepted without careful thought. Others may have more reliable brains than my- self, and if not, I prefer to show each one the courtesy of allowing them freedom ef thought.

Unscrupulous writers are somewhat responsible for present conditions. Liberty to invent? Yes, but the world will need to speed up in adopting itself, and there is a question if more speed is desirable. Liberty of professional politicians to praise as angels and mislead the voters in every way to carry elections? Yes, it often seems to be the truth. Liberty when in ‘office to disregard the public welfare and, by indulging in graft, violate their sacred trust? Yes, I would rather not believe it, but true patrictism must face the facts, . ,This class is always ready to denounce as radicals, traitors, etc., anyone who might interfere with their plans, but these wolves in sheeps’ clothing are our very Worst traitors, and most of the other traitors are of their own manufacture. This is not intended as a personal attack, but upon a principle which if allowed to con- tinue will bring serious.consequences. It will take some grit to face this issue, but trace history back a short time or as far as goes and we find plenty of examples where results have been obtained that required more courage. The foundation of our republic was laid and later the union was perpetuated under much more trying circumstances, With the World War sacrifices fresh in our mind, surely we have too much faith in America and in ourselves to hesitate for selfish reasons or lack of courage. The great question is: How can politics be justified? Would it be wise to join church and state at our state capitals and at Was! ington? I think not, but where church and state should unite if separated is in that branch of our re- public where the state has its origin and foundation, the American home. You ask, “Is it the Catholic church you are referrin, to, Bill?” Well, I was raised wo Protestant, but since 1919 have been a Catholic. Hewever, on important subjects, such as education, government and religion it is assuming much responsibility to be influen: ing others. Advice would be useless, unless individuals seek for spiritual values ii the right spirit, and that proper spirit is clearly defined in any Catholie Catechism. You may ask, Why did you leave the Protestant church when it is found- ¢d upon the scriptures? Perhaps here ‘is a point on which we may differ. It may be said to be founded upon the scriptures, but it is not founded upon a private interpretation of the scriptures? Much scripture shows the authority given the Catholic church, but no scripture supports private interpretation to the point of es- tablishing a church. Without presuming to judge individuals, either living or dead, it may be said that this principal if followed out leads to as many beliefs as in- dividuals, Christian education becomes impossible, our faith vanishes. Private in- terpretation in the right spirit is very commendable, but without the proper spirit becomes the broad rcad that leadeth to destruction. ‘Here is a note to Catholics in particular; others outside the church with the proper spirit may read it, but it is not my intention to sow pearls among swine, Something Is Knocking at the Door a“ Under present conditions throughout the world, it is not necessary to state that opportunities to accomplish good are presenting themselves. We have religious lib- erty in America, and are not persecuted as was the church in earlier times. History, which has been written by enemies, does not always give us a square deal, on the occasions when we were forced to defend ourselves. Here at Present, under our stars and stripes, we are permitted to wear the sign of the cross and build our churches, where the most humble under the sheltering folds of our national emblem can be free to manifest, unmolested, his faith in the Blessed Trinity and the church. World affairs indicate a mighty contest coming, but let us hope to confine it to one of the principals instead of individuals, and thereby avoid bloodshed. The first battle ground is within ourselves, where it must be won and held before we can be qualified to help others. The opposing forces are lined up as follows, but may vary in some cases. Faith must triumph over disbelievers, but cur faith must have a good foundation, Love must conquer hate, brotherhood replace selfishness, justice overcome injustice. To err is human; to forgive Divine, as stated before. Tem- perance should replace intemperance. While the Volstead act is radical, because it did not provide a drink to replace alcoholic beverages, it is well to taper down, and see if we can’t invent a better drink. Personally, I like water and milk. Respect for authority should again replace lawlessness. Economy should counteract waste- fulness. We can be sure that our money is well spent without being stingy. Public service should be given priority over political corruption, if that ‘puts it etrohi ly enough. Our state mill may yet yield dividends, and if not the money lost is" well spent if it has strikingly illustrated to the world some moral lessons. The Haugen Farm Relief Bill pighs have been’a gocd experiment along this line, if we ane mere experience. There are two plans in my mind to purify politics. One is for the church to do some home missionary work to convert the heathen Politicians,’ and if that fails, let the government build—what is it best to build, a big seaffeld or a place of eqnfinement to convert sacred trust violators? I trust that the American people gid the uderntanding ane ability to tae up these important problems, in- vestigate them where investigation is a virtue, find a proper soluti t! down triumphantly., : es si 63) TESLA tae Copyright applied for x.
