FARMERS REFUSING TO SELL THEIR CORN
 AND PRICES GO UP
Oats Made Small Fractional Gains, While the Provisions List Was
 12c off to 5c Up
By Associated pfsm


 Chicago, February 13.-Corn deveN- oped fresh strength today largely as result of farmers persistent refusal to sell. The market closed nervous, E. to 2%c net higher. with May s1.327s to s1.S3. and July, s129A to $1.30. Oats gained F @ $ c to 1Mc In provisions the outcome ranged from Pc decline to 5c advance.
 Prices in the corn market showed an upward slant as soon as trading began, but the bulls were temporarily routed by speculative selling based on depression in New York stocks. The fact however, that receipts of corn here were much smaller than had been looked for remained a sourcesof anxiety on the part of shorts, especially as gos- sip became current that unless ade- quate supplies arrived soon at primary centers no heavy rural movement of the crop might take place before Au- gust Subsequent reports that there had been big purchasing of rye for the seaboard tended further to lift the corn market and so. likewise. did New York stock market rallies and belief which became prevalent that there would be no rail strike.
 Inadequate strength was shown by the oats market. Leading commission houses were conspicuous on the bull side.
 Provisions averaged lower with hogs. although it was said cashzuse mand for meats had improved.

 Friday afternoon the evangelist talked on False Religions" and preached q sermon of unusual force and power.
 He declared that many of his friends ran after False Religions" but that he loved them just the same, and had nothing against them for so doing, but at the same time he could not help re- gretting the misleading things that at tracted them and were liable to damn them eternally.
 His loyalty and his devotion to Christ. he said, and his religion compelled him to speak forth on the subject and point 'out the religious errors his friends were making.
 There are three forms of false reli- gion that I am going to speak of this afternoon, said the Rev Mir. Jones. There are many more, but I have only time to dwell upon three of them. First, Russelism: second, Spiritism, and, third, Christian Science"
 He spoke first of "Russelism." which he declared had very little hold in this country, and which was a denial of sfale fundamental truths of the church: he tlsen touched upon "Spiritism, declaring that the widespread interest in it now by scientists and scholars alike had be- csme almost an obsession: that it was the very thing that the children of Israel were warned against on their journey to the Land of Canaan.
 His third and last subject referred to Christian Science, which he declared was a denial of the Atonement, of the sin of the personality of God, of the eff cacy of prayer and every fundamental of the Christian religion
 After the sermon, Rev. Mir. Jones asked all those who meant to follow the tenets and faith and fundamentals of the old time religion to stand, and practically the entire congregation stood

MOBILE YOUNGSTERS

Three Boys and Three Girls Land in Hands of Law As Result of
 Actions

Becoming suddenly rich in some manner, and with desire to see some of the world, three young boys and Hike number of young damsels left Mo. bile in two touring cars.
 It may have been utter exhaustion over the trials of the Alabama mud, or just desire to see the city of Bir- mingham that caused them to stop here. and they will spend a little longer time than they planned, for the three boys are viewing Birmingham from the iron windows of the county jail and the three girls are safely de- tained at the juvenile court.
 In the touring party were Hubert Chenoweth, J. B. Wimpee. Eddie Erd- man, Cornelia Phillips, Ruth Wimpee and Ethel Roberts. They said they lived in Mobile and that the trip was being made with their respective par ents' consent.

TO MAKE BIDS ON
 GARBAGE OF CITY
City Commissioners to Consider Proposition of Keeping City
 Dumps in Sanitary Condition

Sealed bids will be received in the city hall Monday from men who want the contract of keeping the city dumps in sanitary condition and retaining any junk they may find therein
 It is estimated that in waste paper alone several thousand dollars year profit can be secured from the dumps. besides many sorts of metals, rags and other discarded household parapher- nalia having a marketable value.
 Tn securing the contract for the supervision of the garbage dumps, the successful bidder assumes responsibil- ity for the condition of the heap, keep ing it's fires under control and incin- erating any decomposing matter that may become an odorous nuisance
 Several men have been interested in the proposition for the last few days, calling on the commissioners and go- ing with them to visit/ the several waste heaps in the suburbs.

an, for it was the
depressing season which follows the
inflated Christmas trading. On the
first moderate day within weeks
Angy was walking down a bust
ness street looking for work when
she saw long line of pale, starved
looking people waiting their turn to
enter large building in tempo
rary use as distributing point for
food and clothing contributed by the
city's well-to-do citizens in response
to an appeal from relief committee.
In the doorway stood big policeman.
Angy passed shudderingly by, think
ing that not even for her sick moth
er's sake could she become one of that
Slime" Then she remembered that for
her mothers sake she must not 60
home until she had secured either
work or food, and she knew that her
mother actually needed warm gar
ments. Illness had frightened upon her
mother just when the business depres-
sion had taken Angy's position from
her, and it had been a hard fight to
get enough money for the necessary
food and medicine and rent. She
thought Of how they had once lived
so happily in the suburban cottage
where her father had mended musical
instruments and tended their pretty
garden, and had sent her with gifts
of flowers or fruit or her mothers
good chicken broth to many humble
home and to some quite pretentious.
Blessings and sorrows were made to
be shared" had been a favorite saying
of her fathers, and as she remembered
the quaint philosophy of his gentle
life, Angy determined to let her veal
thier fellows share their blessings with
her and her mother. She deliberately
turned back and took her place at the
end of the waiting line of women.
AS she stood waiting her turn to
enter the building, she recalled the
handsome, laughing boy they had
known only as Harry, who used to
come with his violin to be mended or
strung, and who always went away
wearing some flower from their gar
den. Sometimes he had brought them
rare flowers from his mothers large
garden, where real gardener kept
everything in formal order.
"Some warm clothes for my mother
and little food" was Angy's timid
response to the inquiry of the moth
erly woman at the head of the big
distributing counter inside the build
ing.
"This box seems to have been Just
meant for you," smiled the lady, as
she held out large pasteboard box

containing a downy gray kimono, a
knitted shawl and slippers and some
stockings and underwear. At another
counter Angy received packages of
coffee, bread and bacon. Then she
hurried to her mother, wondering how
she could introduce the various things
gradually enough to prevent the real
source of such plenty being suspected.
"Hear the good news, mother |" she
exclaimed cheerily. "The snow is be-
ginning to melt at last. And see the
good things to eat!" AS she spoke she
spread the packages before the rheu.

"How good that coffee smellsl |" ex-
GAINED her mother.
"And soon you shall taste! Oh,
we're going to have a regular game of
the five senses, for you're going to feel
something good, too pretty soon."
With many gay hint, but no direct
statement, about where it came from,
she held the soft kimono before her
mother, and as she stepped behind the
chair to spread the warm garment over
her mothers shoulders, she felt in its
inner pocket small package. Fear
Ing it might tell story, she removed
it to her own apron pocket. After
