AHEAD OF CENTERvILLE
Sunday School Contest Yesterday
Gives keokuk a Good Lead
Over its Up State
Rival.

The attendance, at the First Chris
tian church last evening indicated
very marked interest in the address
made by the pastor, Rev. w. M. Bak-
er, on Japan and Japanese religious
conditions. Almost every seat III the
church, including the gallery was oc-
cupied. The address was very IN
teresting in that it explained the varl.
GUS religions, prevailing in Japan
such as Shintoism. Confucianism ana
Buddhism as well as the work of the
missionaries in establishing the chris
tian religion at various points.
The address was accompanied by q
number OF stereoptican slides which
showed the work that is being done
by Miss Gretchen Garst, the mission
airy situated at Akita, Japan, repre-.
senting the First Christian church OF
this city. In addition to this, num-
Der Of beautiful colored slides were
used showing the home life, indus
trial conditions and religious Gus
toms of the Japanese.
A further address on Japanese life,
customs and religion will be given
by the pastor at 7.30 O'Clock on We'd
nesday evening at which time about
sixty colored slides will be used. The
public are cordially invited to attend.
The attendance at the Sunday
school of the First Christian church
Yesterday was very encouraging.
There were 254 at the opening of the
school, and the total attendance was
333. The collection of $1671 gave
the school 372 points for its days
work in the contest with Centervihe.
At Centerville, 241 were present at
the opening Of the school, 80 were
the total number in attendance and
the collection was $11.73, which gave
,Ccnterville's school 21S points.
The Centerville school now has 61S
points to its credit, while the local
school has S32 points to its credit.
Much interest is being shown in the
contest and the attendance in both
schools is increased very materially.
The orchestra for the First Chris
tian school OF this city has been in
creased recently by the addition OF
several other instruments. A large
number come to the church quite a
while before the opening of the Sun
day school for the purpose of hearing
the orchestra concert each Sunday
morning.

effectiveness Of Anglo-French naval
gunners, coupled with anartial ineffi-
cheney of the Turks defending the

the destruction of one Of the greatest
forts. today sent wheat down to $1.51
and 1.22 at the opening. These were
losses since Saturdays close Of from
21k to 2A. At one time today May
wheat was down to SLAB and July
down to $1.19A.
Corn felt the drop in wheat. Prices
were down Il to 5s at the opening.
Later corn touched 72as to 74s which
represented recessions Of from rs to
1 point On the opening.
Oats shared in the general price de-
cline, there being little demand.
Despite scant receipts, provisions
were slightly lower at today's opening
and fell lower as the day advanced.
