Washington, May % Up - The
Baptist Bible Union tonight called
upon the Northern Baptist conven-
ton in session here to purge its
mission field and its educational in

by political manipula tons to which
even men of the world have seldom
descended"
The action was taken in the adop-
ton of resolution which charged
that modernist teachers were being
maintained in the church with the
money of fundamentaIists.

GRAIN MARKET.
nv nisnatch A. P. Wirel

CHICAGO, Sept. 3. - After touching
lowest prices yet this season, the wheat
market took a new upward swing to-
day, helped by big export sales, chiefly
Canadian. Closing quotations on wheat
We're firm, with corn l to 2B cents up,
oats unchanged to 3s cent advance
and provisions unchanged to 25 cents
down. 1t was the second day in sue
cession that European buying of wheat
from North America was estimated at
as high as 100000 lbushels.( Wet
weather in the northwest, as well as
the large purchasing of Europe had a
good deal to do with the fresh strength
which the market displayed. Besides,
leading traders wo have been on the
selling side failed to press the market
at the new low prices and on the con-
trary, evinced decided disposition to
collect profits.
Inasmuch as at least 25 per cent of
the Canadian wheat crop is apparently
still uncut, continued rains are an ad-
verse factor, although the crop esti-
mates current have been raised to a
material extent. Meanwhile, unfavor-
able crop conditions in Europe are also
attracting notice One report today
said practically the whole ,of central
Europe has suffered from disadvan-
tageous weather and that the yield in
France is now estimated at only 253,
10000 bushels, compared with S29,OOO,-
900 bushels last year.
Corn was independently strong as a
result of too much moisture throughout
the corn belt. Moreover, additional
rains were predicted for tonight and to-
morrow Oats were relatively unaf-
fected reports at hand indicating that
oats are for the most part under cover.
Provisions advanced with hogs, but
then selling enlarged and the market
underwent a setback.

William M. Adamson Sees
The Beauties of Ireland


The scenic beauties of Ireland and
the devastation formerly wrought by
the revolutionists are vividly describ-
ed in a letter written by William M
Adamson Of this city to local friends
Adamson writes that in the course OF
his trip he has visited all sections of
Ireland and that was most impressed
by the beauty of the lakes of Killar-
ney. The striking shades of green to
be seen in the country sections; he says,
can be equalled nowhere else in the
world.
Many substantial public buildings
and luxurious residences were marred
or completely demolished by the strik-
ers and the revolutionists, according to
the letter. Adamson further states that
wealthy and poor alike are discomfort
ed as the result of high taxes and other
economic conditions which have caused
the real captains of finance to with
draw their interests and leave the
country.
Rain, Adamson says, falls almost
continually, but is not cold enough to
be disagreeable. Upon completion of
his trip through Ireland, Adamson
plans to go to Paris.

The closer approach of a turn in sea-

ance to commercial movements. Moth
ing in this weeks reports has altered

in some respects the indications are
more definitely constructive. Such IS

ing a remarkable record and which
holds the promise now of further ex-
pansion Of activity. Demands in that
quarter, coming from the railroads, the
automobile and building trades and
from other sources keep mill schedules
at an unusually high level for this pc
riod of the year, and even larger op-
erations are confidently looked for.
The same degree of vitality does not
exist in every branch Of business, yet
conditions in the main are unmiStak-
ably strong, and recovery is under way

prevailed.
