HIGH FINANCE ON
 THE ACUA FRA

There are methods of high finance
 other than organizing robber trusts
 or selling the antiquated gold brick,
 men here yesterday. It appears that
 there is a ford known as the Agua
 Fria ford about two miles below Cold Water and which at present is
 on the route necessarily taken by autos coming from the Yuma country in addition to travel of a local char Iacter. At the ford is a Mexican gentleman who for so much per pull
 hitches his team on to autoes and other conveyances of rather uncertain aquatic abilities and pulls the pas senger and his car across the shal-
 low ford. It further seems accord ling to the narrative that once upon "a time there was rival in this game of high finance and as a dis turbance seemed imminent, the road overseer as mediator arranged for the present incumbent to have exclu- sive jurisdiction with the understand ing that the above mentioned pull should not extract more than "un
 peso from the person pulled. All went well or would have so gone had not the Mexican absorbed some l of the natural characteristics of his Americana brethren and instituted (ac- cording to the gentlemen's tale oi wool form of what is vulgall, known as graft" but which is ir reality a mere evidence of superior financial talent. At any rate wher 1 the author of this story arrived al
 the ford the other day. he having full faith in HIS Ford asked tn,
 Mexican if the river were florida ble. lnasmuch as he had refused to dig up more than one dollar on the oc- casion of former crossings at the
 same place, he is of the opinion that the financier remembered him. fo, | a so-called shallow and smooth place for the crossing was pointed out with the assurance that the crossing was easy. and the Ford began nosing its way through the water. A few feet out cobble stones were encountered and then down went the Ford to the bottom of the sea. At any rate the motor stopped in the deep water and | when the magnate was called on for help he readily responded smiling
 meanwhile at the gullibility of the American. On the opposite shore it was dos pesos y media" Or to 1 speak little plainly two and one l half bones The demand was refused
 whereupon the ford boss Chat is the

INSPIRING SERMON
 BY REV. [. N. HAND

Services in the Congregational church of Tempe were resumed yes- terday after three weeks intermission during which the congregation joined in the union evangelistic campaign. The pastor, Rev. Clifford Mott Hand, preached an extremely interesting ser mon on the theme What the Revival Has Taught Us" There was a large congregation present and all listened intently to the minister's version of what the recent evangelistic services have done for the individual and for the citizens of the town as a whole. Rev. MT. Hand said in part:
 We are met again in our own church home after three weeks wan dering Tn other pastures. It behooves us to take counsel concerning the things which we have received in or der that we may in the words of our | text: Prove all things, hold fast that which is good. We are unquestionab- ! ly in hearty accord with the main purpose of this effort i C. the relating of men to God. We are glad that the meeting was held despite our inability | to endorse its every feature. We re- l joice for the souls who have seen vision even through a cloud of dust and our purpose has grown strong within us to strive more earnestly to i hear and to obey the voice of God. l If our hearts have been open we l have learned much from this campaign some of which may not have been l intended by its leaders. We have learned that the expenditure of time and effort and money can interest a 1 whole community in religious things. We have learned that it is possible to 1 speak without equivocation on themes ] where honest men may differ. We have learned that the church of Christ is charged with many kinds of min istry and that while this evangelist's s was almost wholly hortatory, such a work aS his is futile and barren unless i; preceded and followed by a teaching , ministry which is our peculiar voca- tio1. The Master himself was no ex- horter nor preacher of brilliant ser mons. but spent his brief ministry in teaching eleven child like Galleans the
  Ano in his eyes the religious worker was not hustler but sower of seed. Let us gladly take the long, slow way of the Master
 Some things we have learned by our reaction. We have, hope learned to avoid the mistake to too lit : orally and definitely mapping out the course which every individual must follow into the kingdom. We know that this is a mistake because it was emphatically not Jesus way. If he refused to limit His teach ing to any one application we must insist on making the same refu- sal. He laid down principles as valid then as now-principles which will still guide seeking souls until we shall know fully even as also we are fully Snown.' We need to be recalled again and again from the shifting opinions of men to the solid Judgments of Jes'rs-from human uncertainty to His authority.-To whom shall we go? He i has the words of eternal life.

 The schedule this year will be composed of only TAO games, being reduced at the league meeting by the directors.

ENSLEY DEFEATED
 IN CLOSE CAME BY PRATT CITY ELEVEN
Neither Team Showed Weak SpOt-Game Hard Fought
 Throughout

Tn the best soccer football game played this season by teams of the Alabama Soccer Football association, Pratt City defeated Ensley yesterday afternoon at Redwood Field by the score of three goals to two, the re- suit of the game being in doubt up to the last few minutes. The game was fast and exciting throughout and the showing made by both teams surprised their many followers.
 Ensley drew first blood when Per- kins scored with hard shot from the right wing. Perkins played a great game and besides scoring both of his teams goals, was a chief factor in of the game, held the Pratt City eleven in check. Not a weak spot developed in either team and as the game pro- sressed the play of both teams inn proved.
 After Perkins had scored for Ensley, the game continued to be hard fought with the ball moving about the field. After 10 more minutes of play Muir scored for Pratt City when Levy made a beautiful pass to him on the right wing. In scrimmage few minutes later Perkins again scored for Ensley, ending the scoring for his team.
 On the kickoff Pratt City got the ball and rushed it toward Ensley' s goal and in a few minutes had evened up the count again, Thornton scoring The play in the first half was about even with both teams fighting hard, but neither having any advantage.
 The second half started with a rush which resulted. in another goal for the Pratt City eleven that proved to be the winning tally. Muir passed to Alex ander, who drove the ball between the posts for the final goal of the game. For the remainder of the half the ball was carried from one end to the other, but neither side threatened to score again.
 The playing of Perkins and Gills fea . tured the game. Specific and Dunlap played the best game for the victorious team.
 The lineup follows:
 Pratt City-Pastor, goal keeper; Dun- lap and Porter, fullbacks; Shomlin, center, and Thornton, halfback; Levy and Alexander, left wing; Speedie, center forward; Muir and Sanders, right wing.
 Ensley-Hoagg. goal keeper; Gill and Keillor, fullbacks; Nelson, Cook and Muller, halfbacks; Drury and Ross, left wing; Park, center forward; Per- kins and Bishopp right wing. Referee, Woods; time of halves, 20 minutes.

FEATURE SERIES TO
 START NEXT SUNDAY
Breeds By John C. Moses Will Appear Then.
 Author Sparing No Expense In Preparing Page

One week from today, Sunday, February 13, the first full-page write-up on the dog in all its breeds and branches of industry will appear. Dog fanciers all over the country are sending in for extra copies of the 10 different articles as they ap- pear each week. They are going to be interesting. Next Sundays article will introduces the noble animal from prehis- toric ages down to the present day of br eeds-and they are numerous.
 Beside this ancient history, all the diff ferent branches of the dog business will be played up. The different headings will cover breeding and selecting, the kennel, the value of the pedigree, history of the Dog Lovers association that is boosting for the uplift of the dog, the foreign war and it's effect on the dog world, exercise, etc. It will be interesting especially to the amateur, who can get an idea of what to expect when he makes new pur- chase in the way of dog.
 John c. Moses, who is preparing these articles, has had considerable trouble in getting pictures of champions in every breed, but has about finished. Some kennels have gone to the expense of hav- ing enlarged photos sent so as to repro duce for newspaper work in the best of shape. All reproductions will be two col umns, thus giving plenty of detail and show up the essential points. In discuss ing the Introductory page, MT. Moses said:

Final practice was held yesterday by Coach Hoffer of the \. M. c. A. in prep aration for the most important game on the locals schedule this season with the Columbus Y. NJ c. A. on tomorrow night on the locals floor. The game is eX- pected to be one of the toughest played in Birmingham this season, provided that the Columbus boys follow out their usual style of play.
 T. c. Young has been selected as ref cree of the game following the refusal of Columbus to play if Coach E. A. Pritch- ard of the Central High School was named as the referee. Rather than suffer a split in athletic relations, the local as- scciaton yielded to the demand of the Georgia five and Young was agreed upon. Young has worked in other games in Birmingham this season and has given entire satisfaction. He has officia 'n several games for the Central High five, as well as in the City league games every Thursday night at the Y. M. C. A.
 The game will be a corker. The locals have been in training for over two weeks and are now in the best condition possible for the scrap. Although the To- calls will be somewhat handicapped by be- ing outweighed by the Columbus outfit, if the nlan that Coach Hoffer has worked with proves successful weight will not count as much.
 The Columbus five has the reputation of being the toughest team in the south in their methods of play. Probably the chief reason for this is that several mem bers of the team are old gridiron stars In the game at Columbus two weeks ago the locals lightweight guards and for wards received rough handling from the players as well as the referee. Few fouls were called for rough tactics and at sev eral stages of the game it developed into the free-for-all scramble for the ball. Practically no rules were observed, &C., cording to Coach Hoffer, and what the team couldn't do the spectators, who
