 the Methodist discipline. MT. Smythe denied emphatically that he is here as a representative of the New York Dancing Masters association.

They were referred to the committee on education. Efforts to restore daily bible reading in the schools in Illinois, California and Loui- siana were recommended.
 Alleged conditions in certain towns on the Mexican border were deplored in other resolutions. Places mentioned were Tia Juana and MeXicaH. The res olutions ask that the president and de- partment of state take such steps and national laws permit to make the alleged objectionable con ditions impossible The committee on state of church will consider the re- quest.

CANADIAN BOOST IN WHEAT PRICE GIVES
 STRENGTH TO COR|V
Republican A. P. Leased wirel

CHICAGO, May 10.-Action of the Canadian wheat board of hoisting the price of Canadian wheat B to 40 cents a bushel had a decided bullish effect today on the corn market here. Corn closed firm, 1 ls to Az net higher, with July $1.745s to $1.751s and September s1-627s to S1-63. Oats gained 11s to 21z cents, and provisions 10 to 57 cents.
 Although, as a result of fine weather, the corn market showed at the outset a little weakness, the rapidity with which strong commission houses absorbed all the offerings led quickly to a pro- nounced upward turn in values On the bulge, July and September deliv- cries climbed to new high price level for the season. In addition to the big advance of Canadian wheat prices, there was further talk of an Argen- tine embargo on wheat. and of a pos sibility that Australia might have none available for immediate use tended also to strengthen corn prices, and so like wise did the fact that rye was com manding the top-most figures yet on the present crop.
 Oats were governed by the same fac tors as corn.
 Provisions averaged higher with grain and hogs. Commission house buying of lard was feature.

"A Queer Superstition

In some small New York villages
the townfolk think that whenever
there is thunderstorm, old Henry
Hudson and his men are playing Nine
pins in the mountains. Many of you
have played nine-pins and know what
a noise the ball makes as it rolls along
and what crash is caused when the
pins go tumbling down Now, picture
to yourself a ball and set of nine
pins twenty times as large as the set
you play with and you will have a
small conception of the set used by
Hudson and his men, according to the
old superstition, when they go out to
play the game that makes the entire
mountain side shake with thunder.
Many Of you are no doubt wonder
ng who the man is who would want
to play nine-pins on the New York
Mountains during a thunder storm
and why the superstition has arisen
in New York. Henry Hudson was the
man who first settled in New York
City. With little company of men
he had set sail from Holland to find
as did SO many of the early explorers,
short route to the South Sea Islands.
But his little craft, 1.-THE Half Moon,"
never reached the South Seas In
September, 1909, the boat entered the
river which now bears Hudson's name,
and although Hudson thought that he
was on the way to reaching the Pa
cific Ocean, he never went beyond
New York. He planted the Dutch
Flag in the new land and called the
city, which he settled, New Amster-
dam, but later the name was changed
the one which you all know-New
York.
| Stories of Hudson and his adven-
lures along the Hudson River and III
the mountains spread about the coun-
try, and many many years after the
good man had died the superstition
spread that he had never died at all,
but that he and his crew from the
Half Moon were hidden among the
caves and rocks of the mountains, and
that on warm summer nights they
] went to chosen nook and there en-
Ijoyed their favorite sport '-pins.
The next time you hear an, Sy.
this you will know why, and you w.
remember that Henry Hudson is more
than a name; he was the man who
discovered the Hudson River and set
tied in New York in that far away
September, 1909.

The Hollyhock Bush

Hollyhock rust greatly disfigures the
plants and sometimes even prevents
their producing good flowers. Very
good control of this disease can be
obtained by picking up and burning
all diseased leaves. Allow none to re-
main on the ground over winter to in
feet the foliage next year. AS it is
possible for the disease to carry over
winter on the leaves of young plants
near the ground, these should be ex-
amined and if infected removed and
burned.
AS the disease infested "cheeses"
that round leaves mallow that is a
weed in many gardens these also must
be destroyed, so as not to spoil next
seasons crop of flowers.

Agnes emptied the little basket and
covered the lunch with napkin before
they started QUA on their search for
the berries. They did not have to go
far before they came to delightful
patch of brambly vines that glistened
all over with them.

insisted on carrying it as they hurried

short with an exclamation. Polly
peeped over her cousins shoulder and
dropped the basket of blackberries.

Mr.. Bruin put them right on this,
however, for after he had finished the
berries he went over to the tree and
looked up in the same inquisitive man

basket. Polly and Agnes scrambled
to higher branch in a great hurry.
When they looked down again Mr.

and was slowly pulling himself up!
