8. s. CONVENTION

The convention Of the Stockton
District Sunday School Association
was held in Wesley NJ. f. Church,
Stockton, on Wednesday afternoon
and evening, November Both, 1921.
Both sessions were well attended.
After the calling of the convention
to order by the President Joshua +.
Sharpley, the devotional exercises
were conducted by Rev. w. l.. Hess,
following which reports were made
by the Sunday Schools Of the Dis
trict. These reports evidenced steady
growth and progress on the part of
the Schools.
Mrs. Thomas Bromley, of Stockton,
was the chief speaker of the after
noon session. She addressed the con-
vention on Our Part in the State
wide Cradle Roll Campaign" Mrs.
Bromley laid special emphasis on
efficient leadership on the part of the
head of the Cradle Roll Department
of each local school. General discus
sions Of several themes followed the
address, the participants being Mrs.
James B. Hudson, Mrs. G. L. Barnes,
ST., Mrs W. S. Townsend, Mr. King
3. Johnson. Mr.. J. r. Sharpley, and
Rev. W. l.. Hess.
The evening session opened with
devotional exercises led by Rev. Ray
mond p Day. An inspiring feature
of this session was the report made
by Mr.. Bernard Powell, of Green
backville. who was a delegate to the
Maryland State Sunday School Con-
vention, which was recently held in
Baltimore. This young man in
clear and convincing manner brought
out in his splendid report the most
salient features and thoughts of the
best and most largely attended State
Sunday School Convention ever held
in Maryland Mr.. Powell specially
stressed the importance Of State
Conventions in stimulating interest
in Sunday School work and methods.
County President o. NJ. Shockley
addressed the convention en- "The
Home Responsibility of Parents"
The speaker Land great emphasis or
the duty Of parents in the matter Of
the home training Of the child along
religious lines, and the influences of
that training in the child's future
career.
Rev. ~ r. Hamm of Baltimore,
an officer of the State Association,
who was unavoidably detained from
the afternoon session, delivered two
inspiring addresses on the -opicS,
Organized Bible Glass Work" and
THE New Old Patriotism" In the
first address, Nh Hamm outlined the
,uccessfu methods pursued by such
an expert as Rev. Dr. Bartholow, of
Mt Vernon, \. y. who is the sue
cessful teacher of a Mems Bible
class of 1900 members, and a
Women's Bible Class of $50 mem
hers. Mr.. Hamm touched upon the
campaign that is soon to be launched
in Maryland to stimulate interest in
and increase the membership Of
Adult Bible Glasses throughout the
state. Worcester County's quota is
$50 new members.
In his second address, the speaker
was at his best in developing the
thought that the new patriotism con-
sisted in loyalty to the religious
teachings of the Bible and the en-
thusiastic advancement of the relig-
ion of Jesus Christ throughout the
world.
At the close of the session all of
the District Officers were reelected
for the ensuing year

Sharp Decline in
Wheat at Chicago;
Drouth Broken
Interest in Impending
Government Crop Re-
port; Germany and Bel
GUM Buying in Argentina

CHICAGO, July 5.-Relief from ex-
cessive heat in the Northwest, together
with rains there and in other sections,
brought about material declines to-day
in the price of wheat. The market
closed heavy at 5A@61sc net lower,
with September $1.15h@$1.16 and De-
cember $1.16A@$1.17. Corn lost SO
SIC and oats 1%c to 2@2Mc. In pro-
visions the outcome varied from 15c
decline to Zoe advance.
Throughout the day, selling OF wheat
was fairly general and buying demand was
anything but brisk, especially In tho last
thirty minutes. when the lowest prices
Of the session were reached. The fact
that values at Winnipeg had suffered
sharp decline yesterday was instrumental
in putting the bulls hero at disad
vantage. ana so too were reports that Ger
their needs by purchasing in Argentina
The chief bearish factor, however, was
the improved outlook in the domestic
spring crop belt. Only temporary rallies
were caused by assertions from a leading
expert that because OF the hot wave the
forthcoming government crop report
would show reduction of twenty-five
million bushels In the estimated yield as
compared with the last previous report.
Decrease Of tho visible supply total was
entirely ignored.
Liberal receipts and s,owness of shipping
call weakened corn. Oats declined in
sym pathy with other grain, September
delivery selling at the lowest price yet
this season.
Provisions showed lack Of any aggres-
sive demand.

Cotton Is Higher
On Better News
From Liverpool
English Market Improved
Over Holidays; Bullish
Crop Indications Are Also
Helpful to Sentiment

The cotton market was higher yes
terday The bullish features did not
seem to stimulate any really general
or aggressive buying, but they re-
stricted offerings and were also
said to be stiffening up the price views
Of spot holders in the South. October
contracts sold up to 1884, comparing
with 1903, the low price touched just
before the publication of the govern
ment's crop report last week, and Al
points net higher. That delivery closed
at 1851, with the general market clos
ing steady at net advance of ID to 18
points.
1t is reported that Lancashire spin
ners have decided to continue on organ
lied short time for another fortnight,
owing largely to scarcity OF fuel, but
that increased orders are being re-
ceived from both India and China. The
Liverpool market made firm showing,
particularly in the case of July. which
probably was influenced by the i'm
proved spot demand. Brokers with
Japanese connections were among the
best buyers here on che advance, and
except for realizing there appeared to
be very little selling pressure during
the day. Except for some sections of
the Eastern belt, which still need rain,
weather conditions over the holidays
we're considered generally favorable
and the trade found no change of i'm
portance in reports from the domestic
goods market. Southern spot markets
as officially reported were unchanged
to 20 points higher, with Dallas re-
porting sales of nearly 5000 bales, at
an advance of 20 points to 1885 for
middling.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and Is points higher at 1915 for
middling. No sales were reported.

CHARGE TWO MEN
WRECKING TRAIN
(ey The Associated Press,

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May S.-Two men
are held on the secret docket by police
here and other arrests are promised by
Missouri Pacific agents in connection
with the wrecking last midnight of the
sunshine Special passenger train, west
bound on the Missouri Pacific railroad at
Almont, Ark, twenty miles from Mem
phis, John Slocum, fireman, of Little
Rock, was pinned beneath his engine and
killed. 3. D. Kellogg, engineer, and
Robert Scott and G. B. Walker, railroad
mail clerks, suffered minor injuries.
The two men were arrested at Bridge
Junction near the scene of the wreck
by special agents of the Missouri Pacific
railway. They claim to be farmers living
at Blanton, Ark, and deny all connec-
ton with the wreck. No charges have
been preferred against them.
After an investigation of the wreck,
in which the engine. tender. baggage and
mail cars went into the ditch, Missouri
Pacific officials here declared the switch
at Aln1ont had been opened to throw the
train into a siding, the switch lamps had
been extinguished and newspapers were
wrapped around the lamps to hide them
The train ran into the siding and jumped
the track before the engineer realized he
had passed the switch. The coaches and
sleeping cars remained on the track.
