GO TO CHURCH TOMORROW

You had hard week; things have
not broken just right. Business has
pressed you heavily. The burdens
have proved almost too much for you
If you are going to stand up against
the strain you need more spiritual
power. The engine will not work and
pull without power. You would bet
ter fill the tank and be assured of
fresh supply of power. That is why
you are invited to attend some church
tomorrow. Jesus said: Come unto
Me and I will give you rest" eye shall
receive Power after that the Holy
Spirit is come upon you" The
Churches of Cambridge invite you.

had been built up on the general un- favorable surrounding news and thus the technical condition had again shifted to a healthier position. While the spot situation is quiet an da mod crate business continues holders are firm and when concessions are made they are only temporary, and with the advance in prices sales are increased Traders are placing their own con- struction on this feature.
 The principal feature and keynote of general trade revival is, that while manufacturers and wholesalers trade are very active, reports from retail trade show a slowing up. The arr engagement made by the allied govern ments for reciprocal trade relations with Russia will undoubtedly be advan- tageous to those governments and in- terests on the ground. as it were, and il sto be presumed that our government and our trade interests were represent ed in the arrangements. Of the many cross-currents of influence affecting prices, political news is the most inn portant at present. and the prospects for the coming week depend mostly upon developments. The discount of futures under spots, and the firm hold ing of the actual lead to the belief that higher prices are still to come.-S. R Stewart & Go.

FLUCTUATIONS OF THE WEEKEND SORT
 APPEARED IN PIT
Both Oats and Corn Closed at Fractional Gains, While Provision List Varied
 35c Off to 2c Up
By AssosIatsd Orsss

Chicago, January 17.-Notwithstand- ing that announcement of resumption of trade with Russia aroused much more interest on change today than any other subject the event had little if any effect on prices. Fluctuations were of an ordinary weekend sort with the close in the corn market firm at A c to % c net higher.
 Oats finished unchanged to 22c up and provisions varied from 35c decline to rise of ? cents.
 At first small orders to sell kept com ing into the corn crowd with some persistence and there was disposition in various quarters to ascribe them to the Russian news. This theory, how ever. had no good evidence to back it up and was not borne out by the later course of the market. The early weakness was more generally associ- ated with a continuation of recent bear ish sentiment and with fresh breaks in the value of hogs. As usual on Satur- day a rally which took place in the last hour appeared to be due chiefly to routine adjustment of open trades
 Oats were ruled by the changes in corn.
 Provisions sympathized with hog market depression.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York. January 1.-The feature of the market today was the heavy buy ing of the March position which brought some short covering by recent sellers. Little, if any, attention was paid to the renewed warnings by the federal reserve bank of the necessity for fiqui- dating commodity and land loans, the same arguments being advances as pre- viotsly, that this market was the low est market of all, and, therefore, must advance to meet the south. The trade is divided in it's opinions principally of two classes-those who believe that the federal reserve banks warnings will bring liquidation in commodities, and those who feel that the comparative shortness of this years crop will bring higher prices in spite of the financial situation.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

Over Private Wires
". E. Campbell & Co.'s Cotton Letter

Our market opened about unchanged this morning, but immediately firmed up and was called steady during the short session. We communicated with several of our spot firms and from what we can learn there is no demand for spot. It seems the professionals are making a trading affair oue of this market. selling on bulges and buying on breaks. There was no news of any consequence, other than few shorts ran to cover over the weekend, which naturally weakens the technical tone of this market We remain of our opinion that the market should be sold on bulges such as we witnessed today w.

MERIDIAN, MISS.

i Meridian, Miss, January 17.-(Spe- | ciaL)-Thrift week, beginning today and ending next Saturday, will be ob-- 1 served in numerous ways calculated to aid citizens to a more economical | method of living. A systematic home budget system of receipts and expendi- 1 lures will be encouraged and appeals made for the scurtailment of unneces- | sary extravaganza and inculcate the 1 habit of laying aside periodically some of their earnings. An important fea- 1 ture of the week also will be the dis | tribution to all who will adopt a home budget system, a conveniently ruled budget book. Another of the more in teresting features of the campaign for thrift will be essay writing in all the public schools of the city on a topic to be announced about Tuesday. A num- Der of prizes will be offered that will materially stimulate an interest in this work. the number and nature of these pribes to also be announced later. Talks from various speakers will be made during the week in industrial plants in various group meetings throughout the city.
 Mayor John M. Dabney has about come to the conclusion that "jay walk ing" in the business district of Meridian
  now being arranged can be worked out, zig-zag crossing of streets between corners or crossing streets in any way in the middle of the block by pedes trians will be a thing of the past. Mayor Dabney's plan, in the absence of a suf- fricient number of traffic policemen will be painted white line from cor ner to corner which will mark the way for pedestrians who will have the right h | tn line crosses the tracks street cars must stop and a white line will also desig- nate where passengers shall get on and off cars.
 Sheriff John M. Martin, who assumed the duties of the office January 1, is saving the taxpayers of Meridian and Lauderdale county considerable money by not adding damages on such taxes as were not paid before the first of the present month. Sheriff Martin has an- nounced that he will not add damages until after the first day of February number of other sheriffs of the state have announced they would require damages on all taxes paid after Jan nary l.

ROAD BOND ISSUE IS SURE ID CARRY
Feagin Reports He Finds
 Little Opposition to It In Any Part of the State

Montgomery, January 17.-(Special.) )- eight important centers of Alabama, William F. Feagin, campaign manager for the bond issue of S25,0o0O00 with which to match the federal fund for the construction of a dependable sSs- tenn of roads in all counties, today de- clared that practically no opposition could be found and that if conditions do not change the bond issue will be ratified by good majority in the spe- cial election February Is.
 MT. Feagin yiisted Montgomery, Do- than, Gadsden, Decatur, Birmingham, Selma, Opeiika and Mobile and held con- ferences with county superintendents of education, campaign managers of the bond issue and other persons. and re- ceived reports of general support of the movement.
 'The people realize that Alabama must have this money if it is to obtain federal funds," said MT. Feagin. They know the state must match the federal ap- propration dollar for dollar For this reason, we have found little opposition in the state. The important thing Is to see that the voters go to the polls. If
 
 There will be no ietup until the elec- tion. This is Alabama's opportunity and the opportunity of every county to ob- tain system of trunk highways which will be beyond comparison with any thing yet attempted in the south.
 This bond issue will cost the people nothing except the tax they pay for the privilege of using their automobiles. Those who own no automobiles will pay nothing Automobile licenses will be more than sufficient to pay the inter est on the bonds and to create a sink ing fund with which to retire them as they become due. The states debt will not become s25,o0o,0oo the moment the bond issue is ratified The law provides that the bonds shall be issued and sold as the money is needed. The money which will be used in paying interest and retiring the bonds is being taken oy the state each year anyway. Automo- bile owners have paid licenses for many years the only change is that In the future the money will go upon the pub lie roads, Construction work will be supervised by the state and federal gov ernments.
 "Another thing shourd not be forgot ten-each county will receive it's share of the fund. The money will not be spent in a few counties. The law ex- pressly provides that dependable roads connecting each county seat with the other county seats shall be constructed. The state will bear all expense There will be no need for county bond ~sues for roads in the future. The counties will have their own road funds for use in building roads which connect with the main highways"
