SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
WAS A ROuslNc SUCCESS
Many Attend Interesting Sessions Of
3.Day Meeting Of Musselshell Co.
Sunday School Convention.

The meetings of the Musselshell
County Sunday School association
held here from Friday last to Sunday
inclusively, were full of inspiration
and encouragement to the workers
and schools represented. The closing
service on Sunday evening when the
Methodist church was crowded as new
er before gave assurance that the ef-
forts of the association were appre.
ciated and would receive hearty sup
port.
The success of the program must be
credited to Rev. J. A. Afford. general
secretary Of the Montana Sunday
very happily assisted by the Rev. F.
w. Wallace, of Forsyth, Sunday
School missionary of the Presbyterian
church. The feature of the convention
was probably the parade of Sunday
school children and teachers on Sun
day afternoon. With drum to beat
time the procession proceeded from
the Methodist church to Main street
where several songs were sung and a
brief address was given by the Rev.
Afford.
The opening exercises on Friday
evening gave the gathering strong
impetus as all the addresses were
full of good cheer and encouragement.
The greetings of the city and the
Sunday schools respectively were ex-
tended by County Attorney G. j..
Jeffries and Mrs. f. H. Blair and
Rev. J. K. Arnot of Musselshell re-
sponded.
On Saturday afternoon Rev. Wal.
lace spoke in very helpful way on
"How to Hold the Pupils Thru the
Senior Age" and the round table dis.
cussion led by Rev. Afford proved de-
cidedly interesting. The program on

said will give the Wyoming coal opera-

be produced cheaper on account of
lower wages and easier working con-
ditons, the veins of coal being eight
cen feet thick. With Il low freight
rate the Wyoming operators can ship
coal into Montana and undersell the
home product. Under these conditions
the Montana commission has asked
the interstate commerce commission

WASHINGTON, d. G., Sept. t.
Conservationists have begun q line Of

who was recently appointed chairman
of the senate committee on public
