WHEAT PRICES
SLUMP AGAIN
Late Rally Wipes Out Some
Losses, But Grain
Falls Down Anew

CHICAGO, Aug. 3-R-Although
a late rally wiped out losses of
almost cent and substituted small
net gains, wheat prices today
slumped anew to seasonal low fig

enough support for recovery.

short covering and some buying

WHEAT EXPANSION
FAILS TO SHOW UP
Weather Condition Reports
Favorable But No In
fluence Noted

CHICAGO, Aug. 3-(R+Although
grain trade reports indicated spring
wheat harvesting is expanding with
more favorable weather, this fail
ed to show up in receipts today.
Traders said the scarcity of stor.
age space at terminals may be
a reason for the tagging move
ment.
Minneapolis and Duluth received
631 cars, or about 300 less than a
week ago mad 140 less than a
year ago.
Receipts at the 12 principal in
terror terminals totaled 2,231 1000
bushels compared with 1852 2,0C0
a week ago and 2,740,0O0 a year
ago.
Grain men pointed out that Sep
tember wheat in Chicago closed
at discount Of almost 16 Gems
under the government loan rate
for No. grades. A year ago
the discount under the loan rate,
then $1.15, was only about cents.
No. 2 red sold at $1.26 in the spot
market but No. 2 hard was only
$1.15. The II cents premium for
red wheat reflected it's scarcity.
Wet weather was reported hold
ing up threshing and combining of
oats in Iowa but test weight was
reported satisfactory. The move.
ment is expected to be delayed
for several days. James E. Ben
NIT and Co., had word from Ft.
Doge that widespread damage to
oats is beginning to show up ue
to continued heavy rains. What
few oats have been threshed show
good quality but high moisture con-
tent. Central Illinois reports in
dicated oats yields are far below
expectations with farmers holding
back most of their crop.
Domestic visible wheat supply in
creased 3,349, 900 bushels last week
to 215, It's, 900 compared with 202,-
258, 900 year ago. Corn supply

Gated on the east side of Port Tobacco

now exists.

central thing. He set up and affirmed in

States, not just as a haphazard, tenn

States to be dissolved at their conven-

living thing that deserved and must
have the deepest devotion of every
American.
He looked beyond his time to do that;
he looked beyond his section and the
place where he was born. We take that
idea for granted now-we could not take
it for granted if men like Webster had
not lived for it and fought for it. But

troubles could not break him. His last
great speech, the 7th of March speech
supporting Henry Clay's compromise,
was bitterly attacked by his own people
of New England-they thought he was
trying to compromise with slavery when
what he was trying to do was to seek for
a peaceful solution of the differences
between North and South. But that did
not break him either-he had always put
the Union first, even above New Eng

right.
When he died in 1852 New England
felt differently. They knew great oak
was down. "a mournful voice went up
from every house, The pride of our
Nation has fallen-our great neighbor
and townsman is no more" And that
would have satisfied Daniel-to be
talked of as neighbor and townsman, not

Maryland, like the other original 13
States of the Union, is certainly colorful
and fascinating in its Colonial history.
But this is especially true Of its early
religious life, as there are number of
churches in the "Old Line State" whose
records 60 back more than two and
half centuries, and some OF Its first
houses Of worship are still standing and
in good or fairly good condition, particu-
larly those in the lower counties OF the
State.
Religious life in Maryland began on
March S, 1884, when the colonists who
came to this country in the Ark and the
Dove made their landing at st. Glenn
ent's, now called Blakistones Island
and here they set up the cross and
kneeled in prayer to the God whom they
all alike worshiped, and received spiritual
blessings from Fathers White and
Altman.
Indeed, the province Of Maryland pre-
sented an early and successful example
of tolerance toward the religious beliefs
of it's inhabitants Lord Baltimore, as is
well known, was Roman Catholic, and
yet he desired Protestant colonistS also,
and, no doubt, so far as he could, en-
forced religious liberation in its full
sense.
From the beginning, while st. Marys
city (where the colonists decided to set
tle) was the rallying ground of the
Roman Catholics, the Protestants
gathered in st. Georges hundred and the
Poplar Hill section, about IL miles north
of St. Marys City and in the vicinity of
what is now Piney Point, and there they
built, in 1912, old st. Georges Church,
the first church erected on the site Of
the present structure and the second
church erected in the province. The
first church in the province was the
temporary structure at st. Marys City,
which was used jointly with other re-
ligious bodies, for the colonists having
invited into the province the oppressed
of all creeds there was soon an influx Of
Puritans, and when George Fox, founder
of the Quaker sect, came from England
