The first Sunday or the oskaIoosa
Holiness camp meeting, was conduct
ed under circumstances that we're not
the best nor the most favorable, anc
yet the people exhibited wonderful
interest in the meetings and the pro

success. Little inconvenience was ex

the heavy rain that fell Saturday night.
The tents for the most part are stu.

water was easily turned away from
them.
Sundays Program.
The prayer and praise service at

The evening meeting was largely at
tended Rev. Williams gave an excel

brought results.
This is missionary day and the pro-

in that direction.
The business meeting occurs at 1870
o'clock Friday afternoon, at which
time the election of officers will take
place. ..
With better weather and better
roads the camp will be largely attend
ed by people from the city and the
surrounding country. Many OF the
tenters have come from quite dis

prevailed since the opening of the
meetings, the campers from the city
would be very numerous and would
more than double the rent population
of the camp. "

Big Wheat crop Promised.

tional prosperity far in advance Of the
highest known records is emphatically
indicated in the crop estimate Of II.
v. Jones, crop estimator, who gave out
his annual bulletin yesterday. The
winter wheat production Of the United
States he gives as 420,OO0.00O bushels.
100000 bushels over last year, and
the record crop of winter wheat ever
produced. Cotton and corn are in ex-
ceedingly good condition, and with a
hot July and August may also break
the record; but nothing but wet har-
vest can lower the wheat crop. says
the Jones estimate.
In company with John Inglis, Mr..
Jones has just completed a careful
tour OF the winter wheat producing re-
gions OF the country.
