TO KILL AN OYSTER, EAT HIM
London Professor Says This 10 Most
Humane Way TO End BIvaive's
Life.

New York.-Scruples of tender
hearted epicures, who have maintain
ed that the eating of live oysters In
fiicts pain upon the tender bivalves
and should therefore be prohibited by
law, are set at rest by a statement
from the professor of physiology at
the London Medical school. Com
menting on an announcement that a
prevention of cruelty to oysters
campaign is to be inaugurated by the
president of the Alabama oyster COM
mission, the professor says:
"The oyster has certain nervous
structure, and undoubtedly has GER
tain amount of nervous sensibility.
It is impossible, however, to say
whether It's nervous sensibilities are
of a sufficiently high development to
enable 1t to exercise pain. In any
case. it would be hard to find more
sudden or a more merciful way Of
killing an oyster than by eating him. "

Indiana polis.-With the same menu
that was spread. before them fifty
years ago, and with several Of the
same persons as guests who were
present at their first wedding supper,
Mr.. and Mrs. Levi c. Bowser observed
the fiftieth anniversary of their mar
riage by serving wedding supper
to their children and few friends
When Miss Caroline Dawson be-
came the bride Of Levi c. Bowser on
March 6, 1852, the event was followed
by bounteous supper at the country
home of the brides father, John w.
Dawson, then one Of the prominent
farmers of Marion county. Turkey
was the piece de resistance of the
happy feast. and turkey was served
to the wedding guests again.
The guests who witnessed the we'd
ding fifty years ago were Capt Byron
Dawson, retired army officer; Richie
son Moore and Mrs. Nancy Graham.
There were about fifty persons at the
wedding, but these are the only ones
now living in Marion county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowser have lived for
more than forty Of the fifty years of
their married life in their present
home. In many respects theirs has
been an ideal romance. Mr.. Bnwser's

CHURCHES Use SIGN
Electric Boards in New York At
tract Attention.
EvangeIIstIc Commission Formed to
Ascertain Facts Concerning Re-
Iigous Conditions in America
Many Radical Plans Made.

New York--It would be hard to tell
which was the more surprised by the
appearance of huge sign at 23d
street and Broadway advertising the
churches, the religious leaders whose
offices are grouped in that neighbor-
hood or the nonreligous class who
haunt this particular section of Broad
way after 10 o'clock at night. The
sign, which is 1871 by 81 feet, bears
the legend, in gigantic letters. 'Wel-
come for Everybody in the Churches
of New York" At either end is a
cross, and the subsidiary statements,
Men for Religion" Religion for
Men," Men and Religion Forward
Movement" The attention attracted
is shown by the fact that on the fol-
lowing morning three OF the New
York dailies printed first page articles
about the sign
Other signs were opened later in
the week farther up Broadway, and
more are to follow Two at 9th and
Broadway proclaim, ''The Church
Wants Men In Her Work for Man."
and II AM My Brothers Keeper"
The first one, which is on the top of a
23d street building overlooking Madi-
son square, Broadway, 9Th avenue and
Madison avenue, Is In commanding
position. The downtown business
men who travel to their offices in au-
tomobiles see it at the beginning of
the day. Practically all of the stran-
gers in New York visit Madison
square to see the Garden, the Metro
politan building and the Flatiron build
ing. There are more national relig-
Gus headquarters within shouting dis
lance Of this spot than anywhere else
In the land. Hither come the minis
tiers Of New York and vicinity for
their weekly meetings None of these
various people can escape seeing the
big church sign.
Radical as are the methods and pro-
posals of this publicity commission, it
is only one out of nine commissions
which have set out to ascertain the
facts concerning the religious condi-
tons of America Doubtless many
radical recommendations will be
made. The social service commission
has the sometimes sensational expert

Speculative Gossip,

Chicago-It has been the SUPPOSE
ton OF the wheat trade that stocks in
second hands outside Of the visible
supply and the farm reserves were
larger than last year. This belief has
been based on continued good receipts
which has for several months far
in excess Of last years at a time when
they should be small. The govern
ment report received in detail yester-
day makes these stocks March / ag-
gregate 1910, 900 bushels or 1874 per
cent of the crop Of 1911 compared with
9S,697,000 bushels, or 1916 per cent Of
the crop of 1910. 1t was the general
impression among wheat traders last
night that a trading position was the
safest for the time being as there is
nothing in hand at present to make
decided changes in prices from the
present level. The pit short interest
was cut down by the rally Of l cent
from the low point and at the close the
crowd were in a position to go with
the news today. Corn specialists who
were the largest buyers on yesterdays
early break in a number of instances
took profits on the bulge of Ia cent
from the low point of the morning.
There were a number of bulls out last
night who argued that with the break
ing up of country roads farmers de-
liveries would be light and that coun-
try elevators are rapidly cleaning up.

STUDENTS SHOW INTEREST.
In Proposal to Secure New High School
Building for Moorhsad.

The students Of the Moorhead high
school assembled yesterday and per-
fected an organization the purpose Of
which is to create enthusiasm among
the people Of the city for a new high
school building, along the lines sug-
.gested by L. A. Huntoon in an adj
dress which he made at the school
last Thursday. After the meeting had
been called to order short addresses
were made by Alvin Pilot, Ralph Tor
son and others telling OF the needs of
the pupils in the future. The display
of enthusiasm was quite noticeable and
there seems to be a determination on
the part Of the young people to keep
the subject alive and at least awaken
an interest.
The outcome of the meeting was the
appointment of a committee to lead in
the agitation for q new building and
the following students were named:
Ruth Huntoon, Milo Flaten, Ernest
Nelson. Ralph Torson, Arthur Pauls-
rude, Wilbert Rosel, Margaret Hun
toon, Alexander Nemzek, and Dorothy
Sharp. 1t appears that no notice what
ever is being taken of what ~transpired
at the annual meeting Of the com
mercial club on this question, nor Of
the heart-to-heart talk on the sub
ject by S. G.. Comstock.
