An address ON Michigan 20 years
ago and now from a missionary stand
point" by the Rev George A. Weav'
or. of Detroit, was the principal fea'
ture OF Thursday mornings session
OF the annual conference OF the mis-
sionarles of the American Sunday
School union for the central district
In the Y. M. C. A. Mr.. Weaver, who
has been prominent In home mis-.
sionary work for many years. spoke
of the early trials OF ministers and
contrasted them with conditions az
they are today.
Prof. James McConaughy, OF Phila'
delphia, who has charge OF the union
publications. also spoke on Effective
methods In Bible teaching"
A Bible study period OF 80 minutes
was conducted by the Rev. Lester
Smith. pastor of the Central Method
list church.
The afternoon session was devoted
to consideration of problems offered
In the organization of Sunday schools
In mining camps. great factor in
the work OF the union.
At 8 o'clock. Wednesday night, the
Rev. q. p. Williams. ID. d.. OF Chi
cago, secretary OF missions. will de-
liver an address on "The future OF
the American Sunday School union. "

ton. and, as usual. the packing house
contingent Is In the saddle. Prices
have already lost 81 per cwt from the
high point, and there are many who
predict that they will go much lower
before the beginning OF the winter
packing season.
II is still rather early In the sea-
son to make bullish predictions for
the fall hog market, but am inclined
to think well OF the future for both
live hogs and hog products. The
average quality OF the hogs. finding
their way into market at this time, IL
decidedly poor, and indications favor
q decline rather than an improvement
In average quality Of the winters hog
receipts.
Provision stocks. In western pack.
ing ,centers, decreased $1,000, 900
pounds during October, but they are
still larger than on this date last year
Last week. Patrick Cudahy. Of Nil
waukee. made some very bearish pre-
dictions concerning the future OF the
hog trade, but Mr.. Cudahy's "lonG
suit" consists of making bear predic
lions AT this time OF year In the hope
OF chasing down average cost. Indica.
lions all seem to point to prompt
recovery In hog prices early In the
new year.

fling OF his will yesterday was re-
vealed the story OF nine-years

he was told Mr.. Helm had left the

shops where Helm worked disclosed
that he had told his employer he was
going to Albany for treatment for
heart disease.
