Wild Herd Recently Observed Within

Yellowstone Park, Wye, July r.
Convincing evidence that the wild
buffalo of Yellowstone National Park,
the last surviving remnant of the great

plains, are on the increase, instead of
dying out, as was feared, has been OBJ

IDENTIFY part of the old herd, which it
is thought grew so large that some of
its members were forced to break
away and seek new pasturage.
Definite information has been OBJ
tanned by park authorities that there
are now more than 100 Of the wild
buffalo in the park. Formerly there
were only about half that number
When discovered, the new herd was
within five miles of one Of the largest
hotels in the park and a snapshot was
obtained of one of the animals, a fine
bull, probably the first photograph ever
taken of wild buffalo.
Ordinarily the wild buffalo never
are seen by tourists and only rarely
/ by park authorities, even by the rang
ers who patrol the most remote see

 The revival at the Ensley Methodist church began with the morning serv- ice yesterday, with Rev. J. D. Hanes. the well-known evangelist, using as his text. "so built we the wall; and all the wall was joined unto the half thereof for the people had a mind to work He said in part: The work of rebuild ing the walls of Jerusalem was achieved under the great leadership of great man and all great undertak- iHgs of today are achieved likewise. When the Jews came from Jerusalem and told Nehemiah of the condition of the city of his fathers, he was heavy of heart and prayed for three days, and it was in answer to his prayers that the king let him go to rebuild the walls.
 When the people responded to his leadership to help rebuild the walls, opposition arose. His enemies first be- gan to derde, then began to threaten, and finally to compromise. We should build wall around our churches and our homes for protection and strong defense. We should pray, have faith

 New Orelans, February 29.-In the eof- ton market last week the low prices were made around the opening and the high prices toward the close. The tracing months at their lowest were 10 to Si points under the final prices of the pre- ceding week. and at their highest were 80 to 152 points over. In the net results of the week october lost 8 points, while the old crop months gained 2I to ia, points, March closing at Sc, the highest price of the week on that month spots closed 50 points net higher on middling at 4O25c.
 The comparative weakness of October was due to reports of we'll advanced new crop preparations in Texas and planting in the very earliest counties of that state. but at the end of the week the weather took an unfayorabie turn so that uncertainty existed as to just what was happening in those localities where seed has gone into the ground
 Some buying was done on the close or the week on expectations that the raii- road bill would become law. and this feature is likely to have considerable to do with values on the opening of this week. The spot situation will be more

Bessemer, February as.-tspeciai) )-The announcement that the public utilities committee of the Birmingham Civic As sociaton had declared war upon the Bessemer toll charge and the report charge is particularly gratifying to the people of Bessenier.
 A vigorous protest was made by the citizens of Bessemer against the estan- lishment of the 1o-csnt toll system be- tween Birmingham and Bessemer, ano city officials and the Bessemer Board of Trade conducted 2 fight before the state public utilities board for q decrease in the toll rates last October.
 It is stated that the matter will be taken up at the regular meetings of the Kiwanis Club and the Rotary Club this week, and that these organizations will offer their support to the Birmingham Civic Association in their efforts to bring relief from excessive rate charges of the telephone company. Mayor B. c. Jones states that the city government will as- sist in the fight against both the Besse- mer toll and the report charge system, and will take whatever steps is advised.

 Everything is in readiness for the eIec- ton on the bond issue for S30O,oOo for the erection of new high school, which will be held Monday. Members of the board or education are confident of the bond issue carrying, but are anxious for a large vote to be boiled and, therefore, urge that all voters go to the polls and cast vote for the bond issue, The high school is needed as the present building and equipment are inadequate to care for the children attending the school. according to the superintendent of edu- cation, and the teachers have suffered a severe handicap to their work from ne over-crowded conditions in all schools. The erection of new high school and the new four-room unit being constructed as an annex to the Roberts School will provide sufficient room for years to come, according to the estimation of the board of education

 New York, February se.-Apart from sbadowed the coming restoration of the roads to private ownership. the week in the securities market differed in no es- sentials from the many irregular move- ments of the month.
 Gains of to 10 points in the cheaper and more speculative transportations were the logical result Of heavy accumu- lation. This, it was believed, originated principally from professional interests although it was assumed that some or the buying emanated from more sub stantial sources.
 It was considered noteworthy, however, that standard rails made only indifferent response 10 the coming change. Their comparative lethargy reflected the con servatiye attitude of financial interests toward prospective corporate offerings.
 In either branches os the stock list many wide fluctuations occurred, notably among steels. motors and oils. Of these groups steels were weakest, extensive liquidation preceding and following the poor statements of earnings submitted by the Republic Iron and Lackawanna Steel Companies.
