HARD TINES AND RELIGION

Rev. Matthew w. Duffey will de-
liver a series of Sunday evening ad-
dresses beginning next Sunday at Z
p. m. in the Methodist church on the
general theme "Hard Times and Re-
ligion." He will strive to answer
such questions as "Why these hard
times ?" "What is the remedy p
"Who is to blame ?" as there any
relation between Religion and Hard
Times ?" These are vital questions
and doubtless very many Alma people
will gather to hear the discussions of
these questions. Those who are in
terested, and who is not?, will find
that Mr.. Duffey will handle these
questions fearlessly as well as
thoughtfully. All classes of people
will likely find something to think
about in these sermons.

300 years old, was among several
hundred objects excavated in the
tombs at Lahun and Gurah in Up
per Egypt the last two seasons ard
recently received by the Univers-

DR.. Flinders-Petric.
The model, made about 1900 B. G.
shows a dozen employees making
beer from barley. A handful OF
barley also was preserved, but lit
tie except the outside bulls, was
left.
Among the other interesting OBJ
jects in the collection were two
models of small boats filled with
rowers and fitted with masts and
sails, supposed to have carried the
souls Of the dead across the Nile.
There were also some excellent
statues carved of wood represented
servants carrying grain, Wallets
and workmen, and a life-like por-
trait statue in wood, painted red,
of a dead man. The man carried
a rod and a staff, indicating, it was

TRIBUTE PAID
TO AMERICAN
ARCHITECTURE

Liverpool. - Professor c. H.
Reilly, of the School of Architect
ure, Liverpool university, has just
paid a tribute to American archi-
lecture which he said was purer
and more stable than that of Eng
land. America does not seem to
be swept as our country has been
by fashions set by individual con-
temporary architects" he said.
American architecture has been
in the last 80 years less self-suffi-
cient and less insular than British y
The American architect deliber-
ately sought his inspiration in the
work of the Italian, French and
Spanish Renaissance Professor
Reilly said. One had no fear that
man detail, yet who could say the
same Of Oxford street or the Strand,
Fifth avenue would at any mo-
ment be spoiled by a grazed terra
Gotta building, with grotesque Ger
or any leading London thorough
fare?

MEXICANS PAY
BIG PRICE FOR

Mexico City.-More than 600 ma

aggregate value of 1926, 900 will be
used in the various bullfights to be
held throughout the republic of
Mexico during the coming season,
says Don Jacobo G. Prantl, agent
of one of the largest breeding es-
adjustments in Mexico.
Senior Prantl declares that the
national sport is increasing rather
than decreasing in popular favor.
Although an enthusiast for the
SPORT which he terms "the grand
est of all in the world" Senior
Prantl joins in the objections rails
ed almost unanimously by foreign
ers here against the use Of horses
which now are pushed blindfolded
and shivering into the path OF the
Infatuated bulls. Horses are
needed, however, he says in order
to allow the picadores TO punish the
bulls with their long poles.

trial of Arthur c. Burch,. charged
with the murder of j. Bolton Ken

day when it was resumed after a
Christmas recess.
1t was considered possible the de-
tense would call witnesses whose
testimony would tend to establish
an alibi for Burch, but no definite
statement Of sucn plan was forth
coming.
Burch's counsel had previously
announced, however, they held such
witnesses in reserve, and that eX-
cept for their testimony and that OF
alienists who would give their Opin-
ions as to the defendants mental
condition, they had practically
completed. their case.

defendant with Burch, has been
subpoenaed as a witness by his
counsel, but has not announced
whether she will testify. 1t has
been pointed out she can not be
forced to do so, as having been in
dicted with him she could refuse
on the ground that she. might in
criminate herself.

BULLS FAVORED
IN EARLY DEALS
ON STOCK MART

chicago, Dec. 27.-Bullish senti-
nent predominated in the wheat
market today during the early
H.aIlnxs. Opinion that favored the
b.vtnr side was based largely on
s,neetance Of the usual New Year
srnnrovement in demand for cash
-heat and -four. Furthermore, a
,.IIine off in the United States Wis
trla snppIy total this afternoon was
iooked Tor. Opening quotations,
wbich varied from Hc-to &c high
ar with May 1.17as and July LOSS
were followed by a continued mod
e,ate display Of strength
subsequently, the market weak
.ned owing more or less to bearish
forecasts of the government report
and TO announcement of an in
crease Of the visible supply total,
wberea sa decrease was expected.
the close was heavy, Is to 1850 net
lower. with May $1.16A, and July
s1.041k to $1.04as.
Corn hardened with wheat after
a hesitant start. The opening was
unchanged to &c lower, May 551sc
to 55Ac, but then slight gains were
scored.
Later, there was selling on the
mart of cash houses, and the mar
ket turned downgrade. Prices
closed weak, &c to 1c net lower,
with Hay 541ec to 543sc.
Oats took the same path as
wheat, opening &c to sc higher,
May 1880 to 391sc and making an
additional advance later.
Higher values in the hog market
gave little firmness to provisions.
