 DELAYED TODAY
By nIRs. SIDNEY M. ULLMAy


 It will be noted with great deal of pleasure that the belated programmme of the Music Study club. in which Mrs. Nora Hughes Toensfeldt, soprano, was te sing. will be given today. In this programme Mrs. Toensfeldt has brought together rather curious and unique as- sociation of musical matter. The Indian songs will be given in cos tune which lends an added charm to the delightful group. These Indian songs are attracting a great deal of atten- ton on account of the native quality that Carlos Troyer, the composer, has been able to inject into them. The Mary Turner Salter group of Saphic lyrics is charming cycle of songs, inuenced by their Hellenic origin.
 Mrs. Toensfeldt Is q newcomer in Bir- mingham and Is very valuable addi- ton to the musical world of the city. This programme was commented on be- the minds of the public to make 1t of re- newed interest. The programme is as follows

PLANS TOLOCATE
 CANDY FACTORY Chamber of Commerce Now Working On Several
 New Prospects

Birmingham or Atlanta will be selected as the place for the location of a large candy factory by the Bald win Candy company of Newark N J., and Roanoke, Va. G. L. Baldwin, the head of the concern, is in Birmingham and is looking over the field and figur- ing on sites for the proposed plant. A definite decision in the matter has not yet been reached, but officers of the Chamber of Commerce believe that the industry will be located in this city. The Baldwin company manufactures the Martha Washington" line of can dies and confectionaries.
 The Chamber of Commerce is now working with representatives of a num- Der of concerns regarding the location Hof plants here A local company pro- poses to erect manufacturing plant in this city at a cost of about $200. .00O and 1t is stated that definite announce ment concerning the matter will be forthcoming at an early date. Another plant which is believed to be a strong probability is that of the Linde Air Products company, the largest manu- lecturers of oxygen in America The Chamber of Commerce also is .negotia- ting and aiding several other organ izations considering Birmingham as site for industries.
 systematic campaign is being conducted by the chamber in this mat ter of securing industries. An accurate compilation of all the data necessary for the various companies to know re- garding the district is being compiled and a strong effort is now being made to get diversified industries. A survey of the industrial conditions of the dis trict has revealed to the officers of the Chamber of Commerce some of the diff faculties which have been encountered in trying to get industries in the past and it is hoped by the officials of that body that they can be eliminated

UNITARIAN GOSPEL
 BEING EXPOUNDED
Two Visiting Ministers Began Se- ries of Meetings At Chamber of
 Commerce Last Night

The liberal religious leaders, the Rev. Thomas P. Byrnes and the Rev. Ralph Conner, got a good start last night at their initial gathering held in the Cham Der of Commerce building. The meet ings hereafter will be held in the audi torium.
 MT. Conner was the first speaker, and chose for his subject, "A Genuine Liberal Christian" Pauls words furnished a text: He is a real Jew who has the soul of Jew. So he is a genuine, log ical, consistent, thorough-going, all around, full-orbed liberal Christian who has the spirit and genius of the liberal faith in him. What is that spirit?
 Tt is a belief in the unities of religion, unity of beginning and unity of end ing. It is love of truth, worship and service. It is freedom of thought the liberty to stand on one's own feet and do ones thinking for ones self.
 'It stands for an unshackled mind. an unfettered soul and unpadlocked lips. "'On the earth there is nothing great
 but man;
 In man there is nothing great but mind.
 '"To think is the divine right of brains. The true inwardness of the liberal faith is a conviction of Gods universal love. There are no pets of providence and no darlings of deity. God is not a national God. but a God of nations.
 'The liberal Christian believes in ulti- mate victory O The Almighty has not hitched up a team that He cannot drive. Even though I die and awake in hell, said Stevenson, I will still believe in the ultimate decency of things
 Believing in freedom, love and tri- umph, we ought to live our faith and be happy, cheerful, helpful, moral and spir- itual characters. You who may not agree with us will respect our aims. We who hold these ideals will constantly strive to realize them. Let us hold up one another's hands and be indeed a band of brothers.'"

WHEAT PRICES.

When the great war began, about
August l, 1914, the price of wheat ad-
yanced. When it became apparent
that the war was likely to be mat
ter Of months and years, rather than
of days and weeks, prices reached a
still higher level. When the Allies
embarked on their ill-fated enterprise
against the Dardanelles, wheat prices
declines. When the Dardanelles oper-
ations Jagged and finally were aban-
doned, prices advanced again. When,
a few days later, Roumania declared
war against Austria, prices again
slumped. The North Daktoa farmer
was not participant in the war. He
remained Mt home, attending to his
own business as best he could. And
yet the events of the war influences
the price which he received for his
chief commodity. There were other
influences, local and climatic, but the
influence Of the war has been always
and distinctly felt.
The lesson is that the price of wheat
is not local matter. When the war
began it was evident that wheat con-
sumption would be Increased and that
many workers would be withdrawn
from production. The marketing Of
someof the worlds crop would also be
made more difficult. When the attack
was made on the Dardanelles there
was the likelihood that the straits
would be opened and that the great
Russian wheat crop would be thrown
on the worlds markets; hence, the
drop in price. The enterprise failed;
the Russian crop remained where it
was and prices advanced again. Ru-
mania declared war, and passage
was opened fro Russian troops into
the Balkan district, with renewed pro-
liability of the opening of the straits.
Down went prices.
The North Dakota farmer, like any
other producer, is dependent on a mul-
titudc of conditions which he cannot
control. If he is prudent he will
study those conditions so that he may
be ready to take advantage of those
which are favorable.

FUTILE RECEIVES PRAISE.
Provides Horse and Buggy for Open.
Air Camp Near Chicago.

Chicago Tribune: This is story
which should interest William P. Tut
tie, of Dawson, N. D.
Some time ago Mr.. Tuttle read in
The Tribune how much more fun the
boys and girls at the open air camp at
Algonquin could have if they had a
horse and rig to take them on jogs
along the country roads. Now Mr..
Tuttle has no special interest in the
kiddies of Chicago other than that he
is interested in all children and be-
lieves in a square deal. He probably
has visited Chicago's west side and
appreciated the pure, dry air of the
Dakota prairies when he got home.
Mr.. Tuttle sent along some money and
now the camp has u horse and two
seated rig.
But to get back to the story:
They Went Riding.
Yesterday Eugene T. Lies, general
superintendent of the United Chari-
ties, visited the camp and he and Mrs.
L. ]. Collar, superintendent of the
camp, took number of the young
sters for drive.
One was girl of 10, her hair in two
tight braids down the back of her
gingham frock. She was bubblng
over with excitement and exhilaration
of the trip. She asked dozens of
questions about the trees, barns, cows
and flowers. All of sudden she
was quiet. Then she pulled on Mr..
Lies sleeve.
'This is the second carriage ride
ever had in my life," she said.
"How do you like it?"
Gee! It's swell! It's the first car
riage ride ever had since papa died.
I was only a baby then and don't re-
member it. They say I was only 16
months old and couldn't enjoy the fu-
neral like the others"
Other Things Needed.
Maybe there are some more Mr..
Tuttles right here in Chicago. There
are many other things the camp needs
badly. For instance, at least half a
dozen baby cabs are needed. A fiat
bottomed boat that can't tip over
would give the campers outings on the
river. The study of the many inter-
'esting birds in the woods near the
camp would be helped with the aid of
field glass. A camera, any number
of baby stockings, and two drums
with sticks and other things which
Mr.. Collar has asked for.
