The Judgment of the Nations.

We have read in history. and daily
we are reading In the newspapers, how
these nations are attempting to blow
one another Off the sea and the land.
"The nations were angry" says the
Revelator There is no nation sc small
but that it desires TO go to war. AS
the Prophet Joel says to the nations,
Come up TO the Valley Of Jehosho-
phat." Outside Of the walls Of Jeru-
salem is the cemetery OF Jehoshaphat,
known as the Valley Of Graves. In
lguratiye language the Prophet is say
ing to the nations. Come up to the
e Valley Of Grayesw And this Is just
where they are going

' Of life amongst these angry nations, 1t

Serum Makers Bothered

Manufacturers of hog cholera serum In
Kansas City are disturbed over the fail
ure Of the government to renew their fed
eral licenses, says the Kansas City Times.
Not a single hog cholera serum plant in
the United States has been licensed this
year.
The law governing the serum factories
went into effect July l, 1913, and licenses
were issued until January / of this year.
Agents of the department of agriculture
Immediately started out on inspection
trips and as a result OF their work all
Of the Laboratories are required t omake
improvements in their plants or methods
before the new licenses are issued.
There are "a serum plants in Kansas
City, this being the centre Of the busi-
ness of the country. Local manufacturers
declare the faults charged by the federal
inspectors are trivial and that many Of
the local plants are superior to the gov
ernment laboratories at Ames, Ia.
M. Dorset, chief Of the bio-chemical a.
vision of the bureau Of animal industry
and the originator of the hog cholera
serum. who Is here to address the con-
vention of the Missouri Valley veteri
nary association, denies there Is any
attempt to hamper the private serum
makers.
I'VE are only trying to improve the
plants to their highest efficiency" he
said Licenses will, be issued whenever
the proprietors bring their plants up to
the standard"

SMALLPOX AT DANCE
FINDS NEW VICTIMS

Not knowing that he had smallpox,
Andrew Barrett of Phoenix went to a
dance given by Emery Price, near the VII
lage, in January, says Baltimore special
to the New York World.
Though Ill, he mixed freely with the
other guests and had a good time. To-
day John Wheeler, one of the guests,
developed the disease.
Back of the spread of the disease at
the dance is the story of how William T.
Barrett. aged IS, of Sparks, went to War
rem to visit Miss Mace. The first case
of smallpox, then believed to be chicken
pox, made its appearance in her home.
Young Barrett later developed the disease.
but still believing it to be chickenpox,
visited his brother. Andrew, at Phoe-
nix. Andrew contracted the disease, but
still not realizing what it was, went to
the dance. Now the authorities fear that
it has been spread widely throughout the
country
Mrs Barrett. a sister-in-law Of William
Barrett. became III today. In addition,
her two children also are sick.
DR.. c. w. G. Rohrer, head of the state
bureau of communicable diseases today
notified the Baltimore county commits
sioners to act promptly. Unless they
take measures to wipe out the disease
within two days, the state board of health
will assume control.

ALI Men Should Dance

Beneficent Nature intended that man
should dance, says the Strand Maga-
zine. And at the beginning of this
life. before reason plays any part in
our manifestations. we dance. Little
children dance in happiness, in sorrow,
in anger. They dance about their moth
crs in love. Youth dances gloriously
IN exhilaration. Age bows and sways
in grief. Every movement or gesture
of man that emphasizes thought has
definite relation to the dance. And
recently Sir Ray Lancaster has point
ed out that even animals and birds
dance from the motives that impel hu-
man kind to this form of expression.
might go on indefinitely. about the
effect of dancing, it's value and its ben
esits, intellectual. spiritual and phys
ical. I believe know, that every time
We try to express a beautiful. thought
we are uplifted. BY so much has our
better and higher self been developed
and strengthened. Life is n struggle
for self-expression, the dance is a med
ium of expression for all. Not every
ono can sing or play. Few can write
verse; and though inspiring and re-
1reshing indeed. listening to music or
reading poetry can be but secondhand
self-expression. This must not be
taken to mean that I do not love
poetry and music. for were ! not what
am I would choose to be a poet or
a composer and a harpist, a sort of
modern Sappho. Yes, though few can
be poets or composers. or musicians,
everyone can dance. And as an on
locker. everyone can appreciate dan
cling more readily and deeply than
other arts. Since the appreciation of
art must be largely subjective, and no
form of art is really felt unless It
strikes sympathetic chord within u.s.
We are all born with the ability to
appreciate the dance.

MEXICAN SITUATION
I DEPRESSES STOCKS
Specialties Fall Back Sew
eral POintS-LOSSes Linz
tied to Fractions

!, New York, February 21.-The latest
developments in Mexico depressed Am
erican stocks sharply in the London
market before the commercial opening
here. In the home market a sharp at
tack was made by bear traders at the
outset. Some of the specialties fell
back several points. Among the stand
ard shares losses were general, al
though limited to fractions.
Several months ago the Mexican sit
Cation figured prominently as factor
In the stock market, but of late it has
eSerted little influence, and it was
apparent that no genuine concern was
felt In the financial district over the
latest developments.
The market failed to recover open
ing losses. but sufficient buying ap
peared at the lower level to stay the
decline and after the first Is min
utes quotations barely varied.
Bullish operations among the indus
trial specialties were checked abruptly
today. General motors and American
Ice were especially heavy, being af-
fected by denials of dividend rumors.
Paris unexpectedly engaged $4,000, 000
gold, bringing up the total expense to
S14,c00,000. Since early in the year
Paris has been taking $2,000,000 weekly
y cash loss of nearly 100000 in
stead of the expected small expanse
was shown in the bank statement. In
spite of the weeks new financing there
was only a small increase in the loan
Rccount.
The surplus was reduced by 1886,
900.
Bonds showed more easiness. Total
sales, par value, $1,900,O0O. United
States bonds were unchanged on call on
tlie week.

LARGE PURCHASES
MADE IN ROUMAN|A
Report Hungarian Crop
Comparative Failure Has
Bearish Effect

Chicago February 21--Distrust regard
ing. sensational reports that the Hun
garian crop would prove a comparative
failure had bearish effect today on
wheat after an early advance. The close
was tame att a shade to ise under last
night. Corn suffered a net loss OF isdis@
&c. oats finished unchanged to six
teenth down, and provisions varying from
the same as yesterdays windup to a
decline of 71Rc
1t was not until after wheat prices
here, in sympathy with bullish cables,
had given evidence OF rather decided
strength that attention was drawn to a
sudden fall OF 1sic at Budapest. As that
market reflects conditions Hungary lead
ing traders in Chicago was led to discredit
the most striking previous news of the
day from Europe. q statement that the
crop promise in Hungary was very un-
satisfactory, so much SO that large pur-
chases were being made from Roumania.
Gossip that liberal export business
was being done in wheat here and else
where could not be confirmed until after
the close, and therefore did not exercise
much influence. Besides the disposition
of holders was in the main to take profits
and avoid the risks of the holiday Mon
cay.
In the corn crowd the bears finally had
the advantage on account of increasing
stocks here and in the west. Earlier
the market showed firmness owing tc
Philadelphia and other eastern distribut-
ing centers confirming reports OF an i'm
proved cash demand.
Oats verred with corn. Offerings came
principally from commission houses or
resting orders.
Selling, which was laid to the packers
made the provision market sag. On ths
soft spots there was fair demand from
shorts who kept an eye on the advancing
prices for hogs.

COTTON STRONGER
THAN IS EXPECTED
Longs Inclined to Liquidate; ;
Offerings Well Received.
3 to 4 Points Gain

New Orleans. February z1.-Cotton
displayed unlocked for strength and
activity at the week end session. Longs
were inclined TO liquidate because of
the nearness of the first notice day
for March, but their offerings were well
received and the market closed at a
net gain of 8 to 4 points.
While good cables were responsible
for the better opening the market was
held steady by the outlook for smaller
receipts at reports next week and the
certainty that the export movement
will be large.
The weather was favorable, but Of
terings of the new crop months were
held down by the storm area develop
ing on the Pacific coast, which was
feared might bring bad weather to the
cotton region. The market held steady
at an advance of half dozen points
during the larger part OF the session.
