son, but application for the divorce

kins and Frederick P. Russell, the
latter an Alexandria attorney.
When the case comes up it will
be tried in the corporation court be,
fore Judge Louis C. Barley, of that
tribunal, and it is expected that the

whether Mrs. Forney will appear i,
person during the suit.
Mrs. Forney's suit was fled OF
Saturday afternoon about four O'Clock

Elder of Seventh Day Advent FER
suasion Delivers Sermon on
THE Falling Away"

Notwithstanding the sultry conol-
tions Of last night, there was an aV-
erage attendance at the gospel tent
on north Washington street. The ser
mon was delivered by Elder Il. l.
Dowsett, of Takoma Park Station,
Washington. He took his text from
Jer. xvi, 1910, Lord. my strength,
and my fortress, and my refuge IN
the day of affliction. The gentl!es
shall come unto Thee from the ends
of the earth, and shall say, Surely our
fathers have inherited lies, vanity
and things wherein there is no pro
fit"
The speaker referred TO Satan be-
fore his fall from heaven, when he
was aspiring to be equal with God,
| and even wanted to eXalt his throne
beyond the stars OF God. Il will as
cerd above the height Of the clouds;
/ will be ike the most high" The
elder said ne was defeated in his
warfare at this time and was cast
out of heaven together with al the
angels who sympathized with him.
! He (Satan) made war and influenced
the Roman power to think to chang
times and laws. On the other hand
he has influenced the many millions
of Mahomedians to have their Sab
bath Day on Friday instead of OF
Saturday, or the Sabbath. The resi-
the speaker said, who apostaslzcd
observe their day on Sunday, or the
! first day Of the week, or on the 9th
er side Of the Sabbath Fay.
The subjects during the week vii

listers to the seven churches Of Asia

Because of the extreme heat yes
terday average congregations attend
ed services in but very few churches,
and in most cases only small num-
Der of worshippers were present at
the different houses OF prayer.
Very few churches held evening
services and one o. two of these
cut to minimum brcvity their even
ing services. At the First Baptist
Church, It is announced, the heat

low.
At st. Paul's Episcopal Church
and the Second Presbyterian Church
no evening services were held, but

pied the pulpits in these churches.

The Stock Market

The good weight hogs found buy
er's favor today, the early market
being active and strong to SC higher;
top, 81 but had added strength be-
fore the day closed with last sales
fully Toe higher and the extreme top
of the trade at $7O5.
The pig market on the other hand
was draggy and slow. Sales were
hard to make and light pigs in par
ticular sold 15c to 25c lower, and
closed no better with good many
unsold.
The bulk of the good hogs 100 TBS
upwards sold at $3.50 to $6.S5; pigs
100 to $50 lbs 1928 to $3.50; light
pigs $3.50 to $6.25, with rough hogs
at $6.25 to $3.50. Receipts $4,000
with 1000 directs.
We look for a good market the
balance of the week, especially for
the good weight hogs.
Pigs have been selling at cheaper
prices in the East than on this mar
ket, and as a result, orders for this
class of stuff have been virtually cut
out on this market for the time be-
ing.
Sheep receipts 1000. Market a good
one and thehighest in many days.
Values were a fiat 25c higher with
the best lambs reaching $1,000, and
fat sheep at $500.
Cattle receipts 5000. Fat steers
and stock cattle steady today, but
are 15c lower than last weeks close.
Butcher cattle and Gamers are SELL
ing steady with last weeks close,
while cows are fully 15c to 25c high
err than last week.

BUSINESS UNIVERSITY NOTES

Our daily attendance is very much
below the average, owing to the con.
tinued epidemic of La Grippe. Some
of our students have been kept in
their rooms for two weeks or more
Joseph E. Huber of near Weingar-
ten, is spending this week in the col
lege Office brushing up" in steno-
graphic work, preparatory to accept
ing another position.
Prof. L. F. Kinder has been absent
most of this week, owing to rather
severe attack of La Grippe.
Miss Clara Hoehn made us a duly
appreciated visit Monday. Miss
Hoehn has been spending the holiday
season with her relatives near Farm
ington, and Monday returned to her
position in st. Louis with the Murch
Construction Company. Miss Hoehn
is delighted with her position and al
ways has a kind appreciative word
for her Alma Mater.
Rev. Duggins, Pastor of the South
ern Methodist Church, delivered a
much appreciated lecture to our stu
dents last Thursday afternoon.
President Moothart spent last Sat
urday in st. Louis on business, and
incidentally attended the jackson
Day banquet given by the Democrats
of st. Louis, at the Planters Hotel.
He reports very pleasant, brief va
cation.
A series of typewriting contests are
being arranged. Our students seem
to take special interest in this, and
in due time we hope to present some
very commendable records.
Prof. Moothart has complied with
the request of some of the specially
ambitious students who desire the
rudimentary work in Amateur Pen
Art, and is giving this special in
struction at the noon hour, devoting
thirty minutes daily.
Quite number of young people are
writing from various points in the
county and adjacent counties, that
they are interested and contemplate
later on We again urge
that they do not delay this important
matter, but arranged to enroll in the
very near fuurc so as to get ready for
the responsible positions that are vir-
tually assured all competent gradu-
ates, during the great revival of pros
perity, so generally expected in all
lines of industry.

did not disclose the use which the
United States intended to make of
her power this side of the Atlantis.
1t was hand held up in warning,
but there was no promise in it of
what American was going to do with
the implied and partial protectorate
which she apparently was trying W
set up on this side of the water.
Il believe you will sustain me in
the statement that it has been fears
and suspicious on this score which
have hitherto prevented the greater
intimacy and confidence and trust be-
tween the Americas. The States of
America have not been certain what
the United States would do with her
power. That doubt must be removed.
"And latterly there has been a very
frank interchange of views between
the authorities in Washington ard
those who represented other States
of the Hemisphere, an interchange of
views charming and hopeful because
based upon an increasingly sure APP
probation of the spirit in which they
were undertaken.
"These gentlemen have seen that
if America is to come into her own,
into her legitimate own, in world
full of disorder, she must establish
the foundations of amity so that no
one will hereafter doubt them.
81 hope and / believe that this can
be accomplished. These conferences
have enabled me to foresee how it
will be accomplished. 1t will be ac-
complished in the first place by the
States of America, uniting in guar
anteeing to each other absolutely po-
litical independence and territorial in
tegrity. In the second place and as a
necessary corollary to that, guaran-
teeing the agreement to settle all
pending boundary disputes as soon as
possible and by amicable processes;
by agreeing that all disputes among
themselves should they unhappily
arise, will be handled by patient, inn
partial investigation and settled by
arbitration; and the agreement nee
essary to the peace of the Americas,
that no State of either Continent will
permit revolutionary expeditions
against another State to be fitted out
on its territory; and that they will
prohibit the expectation of the NUM-
tions of war for the purpose of supply
ing revolutionists against neighbor-
ing governments"
