REVIVAL BEGINS

METHODIST CHURCHES UNITE
IN CAMPAIGN.

A two weeks series of evangelistic
meetings will be held beginning next
Sunday, in the M. E. Church, South,
conducted by Rev. Frank Y. Jackson,
of Sweetwater. The congregations Of
the Methodist Episcopal and the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
will unite in this revival campaign.
Rev. Mr.. Jackson is widely
known and successful revivalist. He
held a meeting in Knoxville when
pastor there, that continued uninter-
ruptedly for six months. Hundreds
were converted, and he could find no
stopping place until his strength
nearly gave way. Rev. Mr.. Jackson
will have a message worth hearing,
and every one is invited.
The following has been issued by
the pators of the two churches unit
ing in the services:
A Reous.t TT
In view of the fac; that Rev. Frank
Jackson can only be with us IN the

we the pastors most earnestly re-
quest all our people to make point
of regular attendance at all the SER
vices from the beginning to the close
of the meeting. The public is cordial
ly invited. There will be preaching
every afternoon at o'clock and ev-
cry evening at 8 o'clock. Brother
Jackson is a successful evangelist,
but he can't succeed without your
presence.

Two government airplanes will

casion of the Farmers picnic, it was
announced late Tuesday afternoon by
E. F. Ames, cashier of the First Ma

Knoxville and arrangement has been
made for them to come to Maryville,
so that the officers in charge will be
here for the big dinner which is to be
enjoyed by thousands.
This will be the first time alrplanes
have ever visited Maryville, and Will
be the first time many Blount count
ians ever had an opportunity to see

attraction should bring an even larger
attendance to Maryville, Friday.
Friday will be a great day for the
farmers of this county their families
and friends. The business men Oh
Maryville will turn out strong to
participate in this first annual picnic
for the farmers of the county.

II is only right that a day should be
set apart annually for a great get

that they may have a day OF rest

It is to be hoped that from this pic

mers and farm organizations that
are being held regularly that great
County Fair will finally be an annual
event in this county.
The picnic will be held on the col
lege campus. A barbecue will be en-
loved and all of the good things tc
eat that grow on the fertile hills and
valleys of the county will be spread
out in old time picnic fashion, and
everyone is expected to go away full

WHEAT PRICES
DAKOTA FARMERS WANT PRICE
TO REMAIN AS FIXED.

Pierre, Feb. 25.-Reports from
Washington concerning a proposed
change In the original plan to fix the
price of wheat at s2.26 per bushel
are far from pleasing to wheat farm
ers OF South Dakota.
The tenor OF the report is that
there Is to be a reduction in the sell
ing price of wheat, below that guar
anteed by the proclamation of the
president, and that the difference is
to be paid the farmers by the govern
ment. They do not look upon this
as at all PRACTICAL, but a plan which
IL attempted, would mean the crea-
ton Of another bureau at a heavy ex-
pense to try to carry out such a plan,
and contend that many farmers
would never get the return they
would receive IL they were paid for
their wheat the agreed price at time
of delivery.
1t has been suggested that 1t would
be a much more simple plan, and al
the same time much more satisfac-
tory to the farmers, If the govern
ment would pay the agreed price to
the farmers, and, IL necessary. to re-
duce the price of flour to the con-
sumner. the government to fix the
price OF flour at the mill. and make
up the difference to the miller.
Another thing which is causing an
noyance to the farmer is the cutting
off OF the appropriation for the gov
eminent free employment service.
This department has been handling
farm help for the last year and dis
tributing labor owe the state with
out cost, but 1t Is nov said that the
appropriation for this purpose has
been cut off, and it falls back on pri-
vate agencies to handle the labor
movement.

Delmont-Corp. Edward Bierwag-
en-, a belmont boy who has returned
to South Dakota after a strenuous
series of experiences with the 35th
division in France, was gassed so Sc
verely that the hair fell off his body
and the skin curled.
Mitchell-The town of Scotland
has done its share In Red Cross work.
The district headquarters here has
received a check for $9,113, with the
request that il be forwarded to the
national headquarters to be used in
helping the war sufferers in the dew
astated regions in Europe. In addi-
ton to this amount Scotland also
forwarded a check for $3.50, its quota
in the state campaign for the relief
OF the far east.
Mitchell-Judge w. III. Herbert,
overruled a demurrer filed by attor-
neys for Jesse Ball and w. III. En-
cry, former patrolmen, charged with
giving away intoxicating liquor. The
charge was filed by City Attorney
Roscoe Satterlee at the conclusion of
the recent hearing of Chief of Police
f. r. Donaldson, who was arrested
together with Mayor j. Il. Wells on
a similar charge. The men were ar
rested on the testimony they gave at
the hearing of Chief Donaldson.
Pierre-Prof. C. G. O'Harra. of the
State School of Mines, who made a
survey of the South Dakota coal re-
gions last summer, places the avail
able supply as shown by the work at
over a billion tons. He calls atten-
ton to the possibilities in mining this
coal with steam shovels by stripping
off the surface and taking out the
coal in the same way, a method
which is successfully used in some
of the soft coal fields of Illinois and
other states farther east. Much OF
the coal lies near enough the surface
as to make this mean of mining
profitable, and 1t could be taken out
cheaply and economically in this
manner.

OIL OPERATOR
LIKES. HANFORD FIELD

D. c. Priddy, for many years prom
inent in the Texas oil fields and now
manager of the Rattlesnake Hills Oli
company of Hanford, Wash, is guest
at the Grand Hotel. Owing to the
large amount of interest manifested
in the gas and oil fields located near
Hanford, it occurred to the Bulletin to
secure an interview with Mr.. Priddy
to get the viewpoint of. an experienced
oil man. Mr.. Priddy, when seen yes
terday, covers the Hanford district as
follows:
~ will explain why came from the
Texas oil fields to the Hanford oil
fields in Benton county. In the first
place, had what we call in oil circles
an inside tip that there were wonder
full opportunities in this particular To-
cation, from the. fact that there isn't
a state that lies between Texas, Okla
homa and Kansas oil fields and Canada
oil fields that hasn't oil developed, ex-
cept the state of Washington. This
oil strata runs from the Gulf of Next
co clear into Canada, and I feel sure
that the head gates for this great oil
strata run thru Washington into Can
ada, where the. highest grade of Pc
troleum is found. 4 expect to see
found one of the highest grades of
petroleum in Washington that has
been found in the United States-and
in quantities that will surpass the most
sanguine anticipation. The Hanford
field has every right to become one of
the very richest fields in the world.
Every desirable surface indication is
present. The oil shales, sand, anti
clines and domes are perfect. The gas
well that has been gushing for years
and the. other one that has lately been
brought in are of a parafin basis bear
ing gasoline of highest quality which
is impossible from anything but crude
petroleum. witnessed some excellent
developments in many different states
and have taken part in some of them,
but this Hanford field is the most pro-
missing undeveloped field have yet had
the pleasure of seeing. believe that
these struggling oil companies and
those who have put up their mite to
help the pioneer development, will reap
millions from their Walla
Walla Bulletin.
