ence decided to join with the move- ment. Dr. George Stuart of Birming- ham, Rev. F. w. Brandon and others discussed the matter and it was broadly intimated that the Methodists in Birmingha were planning hos pital which would necessitate quite little help from the north Alabama brethren. It was intimated that sev- eral local Methodists planned to give substantial donations for Methodist hospital In this city. The contest was finally concluded when Dr. stuart withdrew his motion, 1t having been explained that the report over which the contest waged, left the northern Methodist free to build and operate their own hospital at any time they felt like starting such a project. In the mean time the conference was obligated to assist Montgomery until such time as the northern church builds its hospital.
 The ladies of the Methodist church, under the leadership of Mrs. c. T. Smith, served the conference again Thursday with two meals, lunch and dinner. The work is very arduous but they are standing firm and so far have been complimented very heartily on the service rendered and the ex- cellent meals served. Thursday wit messed many new additions to the luncheon tables.

MINISTER'S PLEASE ENSLEY KIWANIANS.
Visiting Pastors Attend Club Meeting In A Merry
 Mood
ENSLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD T...I AU

Ensley Kiwanis club members have rarely laughed so much as Thursday when 1t was engaged in entertaining at luncheon various Methodist preachers who are attending the con- ference here. Seldom has any au- dience in this section been regaled with such amusing stories as during the short talks of several ministers. One of the speakers said the happiest lot of men anywhere are Methodist preachers and Kiwanians present were willing to back him up in that statement after the meeting.
 Rev. George Stoves Of Nashville. Tenn, formerly of Vivian, opened the batteries of wit by telling of the days gone by when if a preacher ap- preached a gathering of business men there was a damper cast upon that gathering. He said 1t was in- teresting to know that business men now permitted ministers to come to their meeting without apparently in- terfering with the gathering. He suggested that he did not know whether that change was because business men were getting better CT whether the preachers were getting neaner.
 
 Robert E. Chadwick, president of the Bank of Ensley, was reared in Wylam. He said he felt at home here and was pleased to see business men intereseed in religion and this was a sisn things were getting better. Doctor Stoves said he was an op timist, that he was not discouraged over the flappers or because a boy and girl sat three deep in an auto mobile. He indicated that the things grownup folks worry about now are no worse than similar things our fathers worried about years ago and that Christian education was pro Eressing. Moreover the armies of Christ Jesus were marching on un- afraid and undismayed.
 Then followed John Hollis Bank head, who spoke briefly, and Rev. George R. Stuart was introduced. To Methodist preachers and to a Bir- mingham audience, it would be pre- sumptuous to say he entertained the luncheon guests or how big a hit he made with the crowd. Like Jules Brazil he simply picked 'em in his hand and held them there until he was through talking.
 pr. Stuart said personal touch be- tween business men and ministers was easy to secure, was invaluable and that everyone felt better as result. He told of meeting a real estate man and telling him that he

 He carried through several stories much to the entertainment and en- joyment of those present.
 There followed in rapid succession Dr. w. R. Hendrix, Rev. B. B. Glas- gow, president of Athens college; pr. Guy Snavely, Dr. Agnew of Mont gomery and others.
 Aside from the extemporaneou talks. there was no program under taken at the meeting.

TO START HIS LINR

A motor bus line has been estab- lished from Beasemer to Dolomite. and will be in operation in a few days. The company was formed the past week with the assistance of the retail division of the Chamber of Commerce, Merchants have been particularly active in having this service established. Following a con- ference of members of this division with the owners of the line, it was announced that plans are being worked out to have the line in oper- ation within few days.
 The company will operate several ousses between the city and Dolo- mite, and. it is understood. will begin soon witE enc large bus. This bus will seat about 20 passengers, and will maintain regular schedule be- tween the two points. The firm is composed Of George Lenner, F. L. Weston and II. J. Sims.
 Securing of motor busses for this line will attract considerable atten- ton with the residents tkere and their friends in this city. The mer- chants believe the line will add ma terially to the business received from that section. They feel that Besse- mer Is the logical trading center for the Dolomite community and that with regular schedules on the motor line nlany more people from that ter ritory will do their shopping here.
 This is but one of many trade~ pullers the retail division of the Chamber of Commerce is planning Under the direction of the chairman, Sam Erlick. many features are being looked into which will add to the at- tractiveness of Bessemer as mar ketiQg center.

if the trick is not pulled off, it will

money to send a crack team to the
games in 1924. 1t has been generally

last decade, and to regain this lead

team and send it to the Paris games
next year. j
The campaign has been on only
three weeks, but the flood of small
checks has been continuous, and many
of the large English firms have sent
in donations. Efforts already are be-
ing made to form the Olympic team,
the training of which is to begin at
once under the supervision of the
best English coaches.
The first recruit to the team is

Threshing returns are coming in
slowly. The earlier predictions of

present wheat crop is of very fair
milling quality and although lighter
in weight than last year, is stronger
in gluten.
Bad roads have delayed hauling of
grain and receipt, in the country
have been moderately light.
Many farmers contemplate storing
their grain and obtaining advances
of money, feeling that the wheat
prices may advance later. Every eff
fort is being made by the country
elevator companies to cooperate with
the farmers and help them in every
possible way.
At a number of points in Southern

ia, some very good yields of barley
and oats have been reported. In the
Northern districts the damage to
these crops has been very severe, al
though they did not suffer from the
heat as much as wheat.

and no early frosts, the crop will be

Hartford Natureopathy School Being Subjected To Closest Inves-

Hartford, Dec. 6.-Before the grand Jury resumed its medical probe today, Deputy SheriKs Eugene House, John J. Kelleher and c. M. Risley the last named being also a detective in the states attorneys office, went to the Blumer College of Natureopathy in Ann street, took all the text books which were found and carried them to Mir. Alcorn's office. No explanation was given but 1t was understood that the grand jury would have the oppor- tunity to look the books over as an outcome of their examination of Dr. Blumer, president of the college.
 H. l.. Battelen, optometrist and who practices mechanotherapy here, today desired opportunity to appear before the grand jury and it was expected he would be called as a witness. Before his appearance, as a witness he an- nounced that he was to claim that he had been unable to obtain license to practice natureopathy because of the opposition of the examining board of that school of medicine. Battelen claimed that he had been opposed by Blumer because he was not a grad uate of the Blumer college of nature- opathy. The examining board which Battelen claims has refused him a li- cense is made up of three graduates of Blumer's college. Battelen claim ed that he had conformed in every particular to the law passed creating the examining board in natureopathy.
