He took for his subject Prayer"
and chose his text in Matt sc. He
said II you wish to know Gods thought
about YOU, then read this chapter over
and over and study it thoroughly.
"when thou prayest enter into thy
closet and when thou hast shut the
door, pray to thy Father in secret.
and thy Father who heareth in secret
shall reward thee openly"
There are many men and women IN
the church whose lives would be far
more truthful for Christ If they
would give themselves more earnestly
to prayer,
The lives of Abraham, Of Jacob and
all men Of God in Old Testament
times, were strong because of prayer.
In the New Testament there are
marked times and seasons of prayer.
Paul said "pray without easing"
The life of Jesus from the beginning
to its end was one Of prayer. When he
was baptized. when he opened the
eyes Of The blind. raised the dead yes
even upon the cross, Jesus prayed.
The success and triumph of the
church Of God have all come through

high priest that we receive the prom

as a father with his child face to face.
God follows us while we chase the
childish fancies of life, and 1t ready
to hear lis when we cry for help in our
lost condition.
We must continually abide in God
If we receive the blessing from him.
Earnestness is another condition Of
prayer. We must have an undivided
heart and go to him believing that
whatsoever we ask in his name We
shall receive.
There Is a time for prayer, men
ought always to pray.
You might as well expect to demolish

as to try to win the world for Christ
without prayer. Your prayers are
worth no more than what you are will
ing to redeem them at in words.
1t is not matter of reading prayers
out of a book or saying them on your
knees; It is a matter of the condition
of your heart.
People play for an ingathering: you
want to pray for sitting.
Faith Is another condition Of pray
err. and It depends upon the will Of
God; every prayer that goes to the
throne ofgrace, is given tothe name OF
Jesus Christ.

A man can not be right with God
and wrong with his fellow man. More
men and women lose heaven because

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., Nov. 10
1t was in moment Of playful tender
ness, a little lads joke on his sleepy
sister, that Tom DlllgniscOli, of Pal
myra, N. j.. took the girls life, literal
ly blowing her head off.
Mary was 13 and growing fast. That
may have been the reason for her tar
dy rising every morning. When Tom
three years younger, was made the
monitor for his brothers and sisters
and told to see that all reported on
time for breakfast, he found Mary the
hardest to rouse.
When little Tom mounted the stairs
to Mary's room he bethought himself
of the old gun he had seen his father
place in 4 closet the night before. The
weapon had long been kept in the
house unoaded, and the boy, with
gleeful delight in the thought Of how
Mary would scamper out of bed at the
sight, dragged the heavy muSzle load
er along With him.
Mary's sleeping face on The pillow
wore look of absolute content, and
Tom, poIsng his gun on the foot.

shoot"
The trigger shot back, and terrific
explosion followed. When The smoke
cleared away the body of the boys
sister lay mdisturbed beneath the
coverlet, but her head had been, com.
pletely blown off. The Coroner pro.
nounced the shooting accidental.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS

Indianapolis, January 25s-Re-
eeipts-S,500 hogs, 1,1100 cattle and
500 sheep, against 6,24S hogs, 1,S74
cattle and SIS sheep a week ago, and
1O,O66 hogs, 1870 cattle and 246
sheep a year ago.
Receipts of hogs were the largest
for about two weeks, and with I'M
favorable reports from other places
and the fact that prices here for
some time have been comparatively
high were factors hat were an adj
vantage to buyers. The average de-
cline was Zoe, compared with yester-
day. There was a fair demand both
from local and outside sources. The
closing market was quiet, with a
further weaker tendency. Sales rang
ed from $685. to $50, and the bulk
of the supply sold at $5.45@5.60.
There was a continued slow and
limited demand from nearly all Sour
ces and for practically all kinds of
cattle. The market was slow with a
weaker tendency. Cattle that were
wanted sold at about steady prices.
Trading was slow and the close quiet,
with cattle in all departments left
unsold. There was a steady demand
for bulls at about former prices and
little change in prices of calves.
Receipts of sheep and lambs were
larger than they have been for a
week and enough to invite all buy
ers into the market. The demand,
however, was confined principally to
local butchers and the supplies being
a little larger than necessary for
them, prices generally were lower.
Most Of the offerings were lambs
and sales represented a general de-
cline of 25c from yesterday. Only a
few small punches brought $3.50,
while the larger punches sold at ST.
00d7.25, and ordinary grades sold as
low as $500. Sheep sold for $4.75
down.

CANNING FACTORIES WITHOUT
CONTRACTS SELLING FOR
HIGH PRICES.
THE FACTORIES LOST MONEY
BY Taking Orders Ahead and Then
Being Unable to Fill Them
With Profit.

From all over the country comes
reports of the scarcity of canned
tomatoes, and the canning factories
that did not contract ahead for their
output are on hand with the sack, In
which to carry away the money which
they can not receive for their pro-
duets.
In some Of the large cities, : the
groceries are entirely sold out and
the result is the raising Of the price
everywhere as the wholesale dealers
are out and very few factoris have
any stock on hand. In Richmond, the
grocers are supplied with a limited
quantity Of canned tomatoes and the
price if from two to three cents high
err on the can than last winter.
The cause Of the general shortage
in tomatoes was brought about by
the short crop of last year. Factor
les i'm some localities could not oper-
ate their machines because Of the
shortness of the crop. Around Rich
mond there was a fair crop, but the
canning factories had contracted to
sell their product at a low price and
when it was found that tomatoes
were scarce, and cost more to pack
than the selling price, the company
went to the wall. In other places the
result was not so serious although
the plants lost money by contracting
ahead for tomatoes which they could
not and did not can and had to pro-
cure elsewhere at a large price. In
other words, tomatoes were cornered
and the "shorts'' were the losers.
In Dayton, the Van Camp Com
pany having contracted ahead for to-
matoes which they did not get to
pack, had to buy fro mother factor
les in order to fulfill their contracts.
Thousands of cans had to be bought
at a price which ranged from ten to
fifteen cents higher on the dozen cans
than the price at which they had
agreed to sell.
Other canned goods, such as peas,
corn and preserved fruits, are about
the same as last year, there being a
great abundance of them.

CHICAGO MARKETS

Chicago, January 25.-Lower
prices for wheat at Liverpool and
comparatively mild weather through
out the Southwest caused a weak
market in wheat here. At the opening
the feeling was firm, because of con-
siderable covering by shorts. Opening
quotations on May were up a shade
to A@3Bc. The slight advance met
with liberal offerings from commits
s~ion-houses and created lively selling
by local traders. On the reaction May
dropped to S53sc. Minneapolis, Du-
luth and Chicago reported receipts
Of 347 ears /, against 243 cars n
year ago.
Proft-taking by local longs, in
duced by lower cables and the weak
ness of wheat, caused a depression
in the corn market. May opened a
shade lower to a shade higher and
sold off to 445sc. Local receipts were
253 cars, with nine of contract grade.
Oats were easier in sympathy with
wheat and corn. Local receipts were
"a cars. ,
Oats were easier in sympathy with

New York, January 25.-The tone
of the opening stock market was fe-
verish and irregular. There were
wide ~recoveries in some of the stocks
which were under pressure at the
closing last night, but free selling
was in evidence IN other quarters of
the list. Anaconda rebounded 4, St.

1917, compared with 157 last night.
Resistance was shown to pressure
and recoveries were made from de-
clines. Stocks which opened higher
extended their gains. Free offerings
came out at advance and there were
abrupt reactions. st. Paul rose an
extreme 2 points, Brooklyn Transit

Prices hardened slowly, and the
trading became very dull. A few
dormant stocks made wide changes.
Buying showed more animation at
noon. The recovery in the market
did not extend much beyond yester-

ing orders were encountered and
prices fell backward very materially.
Union Pacific was driven below yes
terday's closing again and Reading
and some of the specialties sold at
the lowest.

A REPUDIATED ORGAN.

The unreasonable uproar which goes
up from the defeated partisans on real-
izlng the consequences of their defeat.
Is thoroughly contemplate. To sense
how thoroughly contemplate, It is, one
has only to ask himself what show
would an American have had for ap-
pontment TO city Office II the American
ticket had been defeated? And yet.
there Is a stupendous affectation of
horror at the appointment Of Ameri-
cans to office now that their officials
have come into power. and at the dis
missal of some OF their oppoents. What
was the matter two years ago. VIXEN
Morris came in as Mayor? Did he he
spect incumbents? Did ne not insist
upon rewardlng his friends at the pub
lie crib? 1t comes with an exceedingly
Ill grace. then, from his apppolntees and
his and their friends to raise an outcry
now against the same procedure which
they insisted was the only right thing
to do two years ago. when they got the
benefits.
The attitude Of the organ of the gam
blers is specially obnoxious. even to
those 1t pretends TO represent. They
scornfully reject its surreptitious plea
in their behalf. Said one of them In
discussing II, Every man had his open
choice, he staked his bet as his judg-
ment dictated. II he won, he expected
his bet to be paid. If he lost, II was
the fortune OF the game. But TO raise
a howl about IL now. and claim the
stakes, is to say that man must rake
in the money whether he wins or loses
The only way to do this Is to steal the
successful mans chips if you don't win
yourself. 1t is the plea of the thief end
the sneak, none OF II for me-"
BY that little talk, the gamblers or
gan can see that II is scornfully repu-
dated even by those whom 1t would
crawl on It's belly TO serve
