CONGREGATION IS SPLIT ON MOVING TO NEWLOCATION Half of St, John's Reformed Church Would Go North —Others South, The adage, a house divided against itself cannot stand will be tested tonight at a congregational meeting of St. John's Reformed Church, E. Merrill and S. Alabama Sts., when definite action is expected to be taken upon whether the church should be moved and where. Consensus of opinion of the majority of the church members is to relocate, but the section of the city in which to move is apparently splitting the congregation. About onehalf of the members want to move north, while the others desire to move farther south. A few, mostly old members, think it best to remain where they are. Church Fifty Years Old For over fifty years the church has been established in the community. Within the past halfcentury sweeping changes have taken place. The founders were chiefly German, and resided near the vicinity. They walked or drove to church dn their buggies. Today the members are scattered over the city and drive to worship in machines. What was then a resident community is now classified as a factory district, according to the city zoning ordinance. The church is situated in a hollow and is flanked on one side by the Eli Lilly and Company plant, which is expanding, and other factory buildings. If the church is to build in order to keep pace with its steady growth it will not be able to do so at its present location, the Rev. Frederick H. Diehm, pastor, Mid. Garfield Park Favored So those desiring to move farther south cry "Let's move toward Garfield Park.” **Ko, no,” cries the other faction, "Let's go north.” Two meetings have been held, during the past few weeks to make a final selection. Each time the new site committee recommended a north side site. But because all were not of one mind the committee was discharged and the church board was delegated to make final choice. # ”lt’s hard to tell just what will result,” said the Rev. Diehm. “It’s definite we will have to sell and move. If we can swing the entire membership to one accord, it’s difficult to tell.”

ENGLISH WORKERS FEEL EFFECTS OF HIGHWHEATPRICE British Alarmed at Cost of Flour —Blame Speculators for Advance, - f ' By PERCY SARL (Copyright, 1924, by United Press) LONDON, July 30. —Sensational rises in the wheat market in the United States hftve been followed by equal increases in the price of wheat and flour in England. Flour in English markets has jumped 10 shillings a sack since July 1 and a total of 17 shillings since May, causing apprehension throughout the country. The standard four-pound British loaf, already increased from the 8penny price, will jump to 10 pence next Monday. Strain on Budget To the English farmer, wheat growing is profitable for the first time since the war, but to the great majority of the population—the wage earners—the high price of bread means only added strain on the family budget. Spectacular advances in flour prices during the present month have caused consumers to start an agitation for resumption of the wartime practice of Government wheat buying, but the president of the Board of Trade, Sydney Wade, (a post similar to the American Secretary of Commerce) flatly denies rurpor the Government is planning to resume such buying. There is no reason to believe a world grain shortage is in sight, Wade says and moreover it is impossible to forecast how long present high prices will be maintained. Harvesting of the 1924 crop in the northern hemisphere is not vet completed and final figures may cause a considerable change in the situation, he believes. Accordance to the latest report to" the Government Board of Trade, the situation is as follows: “The factor most influencing the outlook at present is the un certainty of the Canadian crop, to which may be attributed the recent rise in prices. This situation undoubtedly has been aided, as is usual in such circumstances, by market speculation. No Scarcity "There seems no reason to believe at present that the world supply of wheat during the coming season will be under requirements. Although prices for a time may continue at higher levels than during the corresponding period last year, there is no Justification at the present time for suggesting a pending shortage or even a scarcity of wheat.” The rise, in opinion of Liverpool merchants, is due principally to operation of “bull cliques" in Chicago. Although prices have advanced to a certain extent on all exchanges because of unfavorable crop reports from Canada and parts of the United States, it is believed there is a widespread tendency to follow Chicago’s lead and attempt to frighten buyers into paying high prices. Consumption Increased On the other hand Liverpool admits the bull factions have some justification in the increased consumption of wheat in Japan and China. Japan is using twice the amount it did before the war and the Chinese also are forsaking rice to a considerable extent. It also is admitted the Russian supply cannot reach pre-war propori tions for some years to corqe. Liverpool believes, however, that present rises in the wheat market ! will stop when unexpected supplies become available or when Japan and I China, disgusted by high prices, go back to rice, corn and other cereals.
