CAMPAIGN TO RAISE ENDOWMENT FUND
 FOR ATHENS COLLEGE
Local Methodist Laymen and Alumnae Will Commence Canvass Next Week to Raise Birmingham's
 Quota of Fund

At conference yesterday of local trus- tees of Athens college, Mrs. F. J. Rowe, general chairman of the Birmingham en- dowment campaign committed, and other campaign leaders, it was decided to be- gin the canvass in Birmingham next week, the first meeting of the committees to be held Monday night. The canvass will be conducted the following four days and will be Birningham's part of a conference-wire movement now on to raise $125,000 during the month of April.
 This amount Is needed to repay $25,000 to the North Alabama conference for ob- legations assumed and proved and the $l00000 endowment for Athens college made imperative by the educational board of the Methodist Episcopal church, south.
 Ten of the leading laymen of the church will be captains of teams with E. J. Rowe chairman. The local chapter of the alumnae will have an active part in the campaign and full preparations have been made for a systematic and cooperative solicitation of the MethOdists of the city.
 The progress last week at the Decaturs, Hartselle, Cullman and Huntsville, the only places canvassed thus far, and two of them only partially has been beyond expectations in some instances.
 About 10000 Methodists are to be visited throughout the conference by 500 laymen, whose volunteer services have been prof fered and thousands of contributions will be secured to complete the $125,000 fund.

small percentage of gasoline kept the to- tai crude production up to normal. A footnote says the gasoline content of oil from the Cushing field fell from 96,00O,0O0 gallons in April to 36,O0000O gallons in December. The gasoline content of all the oil produced in the United States dur ing the year was 1892, 300, 900 gallons, de- crease over 1914
 Crude oil stocks increased during the year from 69OOo,OO0 barrels in January, 1915, to 100,O00,OOO in January, 1916
 Standard Oil companies, the tables show, produced about 60 per cent of the years gasoline output. Their total was 6S1, 1,750,0O0 gallons and that of the inde- pendents about 4OO,OOO0OO.
 STOCKS DECREASE
 Gasoline stocks held by refineries decreased steadily from last May, when the total is put at 292,O00,O0O gallons 0O0.000. Stocks increased from the first of the year to May.
 Price ranges show that the price charged by the independents averages about one cent higher than Standard Oil prices. The Standard was selling gasoline f. O. b., it's refineries, at TSP cents gallon January 1. 1915, and the independents were charging S.3S cents for the same grade.
 In August the Standard price went to 7.SS cents and the independents price dropped to SOP cents. Four months later the Standard was charg- ing 12.S4 cents and the independents 1907 cents. In January, 1915, the Standard was selling at 69S cents in Oklahoma and Kansas; TIP cents in Texas and Louisiana; 7.96 cents in north central territory; S.S1 cents in eastern territory; 6.64 cents in Rocky mountain territory; s.3S cents in Cali fornia.
 In December eastern territory was paying the most for its gasoline. De- cember territorial prices were:
 Oklahoma Kansas, 12.l0 cents; Tex |as-Louisiana, 11.34 cents; north cen- tral, 1928 cents; east. 14.09 cents; Rocky mountains, 11.55 cents; Califor- mia, 1193 cents.
 Differentials in the cost of crude, the report explains, affects the price in various parts of the country. A later report will show in detail what per- centage of price differences can be traced directly to crude prices.
 Tank wagon prices went from 9.S6 cents in the east and 9.61 cents in the west last July to 1928 cents in the east and 15.S0 cents in the west in December.

 Navy department dispatches reported conditions quiet at Vera Cruz, Tampico laborers at Tampico was reported set tied, with the arrest of two strike leaders The strike was called because Carranza decree required the labor CTS to accept de facto currency as wages.

BANKING COMPANY
 BUYS NEW HOME
 FROM MUDD ESTATE
Trustee Loan and Guaranty Company Purchases Property on First
 Avenue

The Trustee Loan and Guaranty com pany has announced the purchase from the estate of William $. Mudd the two- story brick building, 2024 First avenue, north. The building is now occupied by the Zac Smith Stationery company. The price paid for the building was $26,Ooo. The building has 25-foot front, which make the property cost $1040 per front foot.
 The Trustee Loan and Guaranty com pany has been organized less than two years, and during that time the of- fcials have worked the business up un- til now it is considered one of the live Hest banking houses of it's kind in the United States.
 As soon as the present lease, which extends to October l, expires the work of remodeling the building and fitting it up with modern banking fixtures will begin. A considerable sum will be expended on the building and. accord ing to statement by J. c. Corcoran, president of the concern, it will only be a question of time until the old building will be torn down to give give place to modern structure.
 T am glad" said MT. Corcoran, that we are able to own our own home. To be exact the Trustee Loan and Guaran- ty company was organized July l, 1914, and since that time We have made our business one of the largest in the city and have accumulated assets in excess of quarter of million dollars We have our own trustee system of in dustrial banking. It has proven very satisfactory to us and we expect to further extend it.
 'The Industrial Loan and Guaranty company will have offices in the build ing with us and will occupy the third floor This is million dollar firm, and they, too, use the trustee system. They will establish branch offices in many of the smaller towns of the state, but the financial center will be in Birming- ham. while they will not do banking business here.
 s'The best feature of the Trustee Loan and Guaranty company is that practi- cally all the stock has been placed and the books have already been closed to the public. Our financial condition has never been so good as at present. Our stockholders include approximately

 Senator Underwood, author of the present tariff law, explained that the 30 per cent duty now imposed on dye stuffs had existed since the enactment of the Dingley law by acquiescence of the demorcats. Textile manufacturers chief purchasers of dyes. he said. had urged that the duty be lowered instead of increased.
 Senator Shoot and Senator Brande- gee urged the passage of the amend ment, the former asserting that the labor cost of German manufactured dyes was not more than one-fourth the cost in the United States.
 The Germans, he said, also had many advantages, by which they could make dyes at less expense.
 Senator Broussard spoke in opposi- tion to the Senate committee substi- tute for the House bill and urged 8 straight repeal of the free sugar pro- vision.

 HOBDY CITES EXAMPLES
 Secretary c. B. Hobdy of the illit- eracy commission talked yesterday Of some of the excellent results of the work that has been done in Dale county school He told of the follow ing interesting facts gathered from the report of the state rural school agent to the superintendent of educa- ton:
 "When Superintendent R. l.. March man called for volunteers" said Sec letary Iobdy, "to undertake the work of removing illiteracy in Dale county, Prof. E. T. Riley responded. request- ing that he be permitted to work at Echo, his home district, with his own kjth and kin and the friends or ms bcyhood. The request was granted. The report continues:
 ''The school has been in session nine days The children. 91 in number. are taught from "a. m. to 3 p. m. The adults assemble little before o'clock and begin their work at that hour
 s'At present there are IS attending the adult school. Their ages range from 24 to 63 years. Three of them told me that they had never been to school be- fore; two said that they had attend ed school a few days when they were children, but could neither read nor write. The education of four others is so lneagre that they are properly classified illiterates. The remaining five could read and write.
 Tour of them are grandmothers, each of whom has two or more grand children in the regular school. The roll also shows the names of two couples who attend the adult school and who have enrolled all of their children in the public school. One of these cou- ples has two children, the other has five The father of the five children is q trustee of the school he is at tending. He has just learned to write his name A few days ago he walked into Superintendent Marchman's office and said, Did you see our school re- port? Yes replied the superintendent. We'll he replied. T signed it and mo- body didn't help me neither and con- cluded his remarks with I sho' am proud of it.
 "The teacher of this school Is cer- tainly making good use of the oppor- tunity before him. He has already suc- cceded in teaching his class to sign their rames and is now teaching them to read and write simple words.
 Some of the 'grown-ups' are using the primers of their children; others are learning to read the school chart. One lady has brought a newspaper to tho school. She and another woman about the same age were trying to read the simple words in large type advertisements'
