MARKET QUOTES
TEN DOLLAR HOG
After an absence of Three Weeks the
Pork Quotations Again Climbed
to That Limit.

Chicago, April 14.-After an alb
sence of three weeks the SO hog reap
peard today. The reason for the ad-
vance in values was a lively demand
from spectators and shippers. The
limited receipts of cattle were all that
the trade had need of. On account of
high prices, buyers kept away as much
as possible from sheep and lambs.

the seriousness of Mexican and Ger

say they are going to be united. In
stead of maintaining church OF each
denomination in each community
they will have one central church and
be in a position to pay the preacher
respectable salary. In matters of
doctrine these three churches are not
far apart at the present time. In
fact the lines of demarcation be-
tween all the churces are largely fic-
titious nowadays. They are all doing
about the same things in the name
Of the same Lord and Master whose
gospel they proclaim. There has
never been a sufficient reason why
there should be separate church
around each separate idea, or inter-
probation of some passage OF scrip
ture. The burden OF supporting SO
many churches is too great, so great
that people are getting weary of bear
ing it and they are dropping out in
large numbers.
But there is the other considera-
ton and that is that some men and
women cannot rally around a wide or
general proposition. They want some
thing very definite in which they be-
lieve not only implicitly. but intent
ly. That has been one of the strong
holds Of many churches, the intense
devotion of the few who believe SO
strongly on certain points. When
christianity is more generalized, a
sort of universalized, these same
people may lose some OF their inter-
est, to them it may no longer be my
church"

The decision is probably wise one.

the need for the residence erected by
the state a number of years ago for
the president of the university. IL

The Grinnell people do we'll to spend
enough money to make the properly

Yet it is interesting to remember
that while small college like Grin

ious criticism, the building Of the
presidents house at Iowa City was
the reason, or possibly excuse, for an
assault on the board OF regents SO
vigorous that it resulted in reVoiu.
