Wheat Again Sells
Lower After Gains:
Exporters Factor
Slump in Foreign Demand
on Break IN Exchange Is
One Reason for Decline:
Many Traders Are BulEisln

Underlying sentiment in the wheat
market was bearish, but in some
quarters it was thought that prices
have been declining too rapidly and
Shat the preponderance Of bearish senti-
ment might easily bring about strong
technical position. There was more
or less buying around the opening
yesterday on this theory and early in
the session prices experienced gains
OF 2 Y to 314c.
Selling orders increased on the ad-
vances, however, and subsequently the
market reacted and closed with net
losses of to lac.
Exporters said that bids from most
of the leading countries in Europe had
been reduced and the weakness in
foreign exchange was against a large
export business. Orders came from
some of the Continental buyers, how
ever, and sales were reported of about
100000 bushels, principally through
Gulf ports, at $3.50 for No . wheat.
f. o. b. August shipment
Country offers were Of far volume
and receipts at primary points continue
to increase steadily. Some authorities
were again expressing bullish views on
lne extent OF rust damage in the spring
wheat states, although some of the
best authorities believe that the crop
will be an average one
The statement by Governor Harding
OF the Federal Reserve Board regarding
the financial situation relative to the
movement of the new crop was looked
upon as favorable, although it was the
prevailing opinion that banks Will not
be disposed to advance money to hold
grain for higher prices, and the new
crop must be marketed through COM
mercial sources and will not have the
advantage experienced last year of the
government buying. which absorbed al
offers. In the local cash market No 2
red and No. hard wheat were quoted
at S2.7o c. j. +. track for first half

EARNINGS Where the largest return may be

Answer The Armour e. Co. notes
appear to offer very fair investment on
poftunitles. They are not secured, but
the earnings of the company are large
ana we believe you would make no mis-
'aNe IN purchasing them. The Goodyear
offering consists of two shares pre-
ferrcd stock and one share common
stock for $500. The earnings of this
company are good, and while the pre-
ferred issues is entitled to d very fair
rating We believe the common stock is
large speculative because it is SO sen
sltiVe TO earning power. Howe Sound
Is holding company, owning the en-
tire caoltal stock of the Britannia Mir
mo and Smelling Company Of British
tsl'mbfa. L pays per cent on the stoci-
OF $ per value. Wa do not advise the
purchase Of such s. ocl for investment
purposes. trohman Amusement stock
IS IN the same class. The moving pic
ture Industry is an uncertain one at
best, thus rendering stock of this
character highly speculative. If You
viii keep to the good bonds and pre-
ferrcd stocks you viii find ample op-
portunlty to obtain good investments.

SHALL METHODISM BE A
CHURCH OR A SOCIETY

The Methodist Episcopal church holds it's
quadrennial general conference at Des MONIES
this May.
The Methodists comprise evry large part
of the citizenry of the United States. They
have always been deeply in earnest, comb1n-
ing a sound common sense with great enthu-
siasm, and their influence upon the commu-
nal life has been wholesome
This general conference is its supreme law
making body. 1t may be compared to our
national congress. It's book of discipline
may be said to resemble the constitution.
1t is about as hard to alter the disciple as
it is to amend the constitution. The sentl-
ment must be immense and the process SLOW
in both cases; and the reactionaries have the
decided advantage.
One nuestion will come up at this general
conference which affects the very character
itself of the church.
There is a provision in the discipline which
prohibits certain acts as dancing, card-play-
ing and theater-going, and directs that those
Inducing in these amuSementS be eXDelled
A considerable element in the church has
always opposed this rule as being unwise, bat
it has been retained owing to the powerful
conviction among the church people that no
action should be taken that might be con-
strued as compromising with worldl1ness
or Towering the standard" of righteousness.
1t is to be hoped that this conference Will
remove the obnoxious paragraph, and Tor THIS
reason: The organization if it calls itself
church ought to be church, not society.
A church must be universal in its scope;
society may be limited.
This prohibition might have been useIul
so long as the organization was merely an
order or a brotherhood, a group INSIDE OF
the church. which is exactly what Methodlsm
originally was, a society of certain members
of the Established Church of England
Now, however, it has taken its place BESIDE
other organizations-the Episcopalians, Ro-
man Catholics Presbyterians and the like
in friendly competition for the service OF
Christianity. The language of Mr.. wesley,
it's founder was ''the world is my parish"
This being true, the petty regulations
about dancing and card-playing, applicable
to the English working class and to the pio-
neer Westerners of America, where Method
ism made it's start become absurd when ap-
| piled to Japanese, Chinese, Norwegians,
South Africans and Russians.
What might have served good purpose
in restricted, disciplinary order is entirely
| out of place in church.
People are born into a church. 1t is I'M
fair to tell them to get out if they don't like
it, unfair to them and to the institution.
A church, coterminous with the world, has
no right to make a test of membership of
anything but principles. Rules are fer groups
which mature persons join and resign from
at will

then the Convention would have no hOnora-
BILE alternative but to correct the mistake
and give him his due. Having been admit
ted to the primary and having received up
wards of fifty-tWo thousand votes, he should
be given a scrupulOusly fair deal in the con-
Vention. This is incumbent upon all dele
gates, regardless of whom they personally
are for. 1t is incumbent upon them primar-
lily as a matter OF political integrity. There is
the further and cogent consideration of poIit-
ical eXpediency. AS we'll wishers of the party
in this Commonwealth and throughout the
country, no participants in the Convention
can afford to leave Thomas e. Watson any
ground whatsoever for charges of injustice
Much less should they give the more than fiji
ty-two thousand voters who supported him at
the polls any cause for grievance. We have
nothing to fear for Georgia Democracy as
long as it walks uprightly let us see to it
that it's ways ever above suspicion or
reproach.
These are the convictions, we doubt not, Of
the great rank and file Of delegates who
are to foregather in Atlanta next Tuesday,
whether they come as supporters of Mr.. Pal
mer, or of Senator Smith or Of Mr.. Watson.
Some players of politics there may be who
in the heat of the game and the pursuit of
coveted spells will forget that honesty is the
best policy; but for the most part, we believe,
there will be a disposition to deal fairly to
all concerned and to work out solution that
will make for the good of the party and the
honor of the State. Certainly, this is the
spirit and purpose which thoughtful Demo-
Gratis all hope will prevail.

This ruling Of the court calls at
