WHITE FLAGS IN
YARDS SIGNS OF
PRAYER MEETING

when you see a white flag in
the yard of someone's house don't
think that place is quarantined for
smallpox or something. It means
that a prayer meeting is going TO
be held there at the next 10 o'clock
a. m" said Evangelist Sunday last
night, in explaining some points of
the prayer meeting part of the
campaign.
Many people have thrown their
homes open to the work for Tues
day and Friday mornings, both days
or either one, and as the meeting
ends promptly after a half hour
there is no great hardship impos-
ed. Women can usually leave their
work for a half hour, and the ad-
vantage of attending the meeting
right in the neighborhoOd is that
there is no need to dig out the
y-go-to-meeting apparel. APP
rons and house dresses are just as
welcome at the small gatherings as
silks and crepe-de-chines.
Miss Grace SAKE has charge over
the work among the residence dis
tricts, and she is everywhere meet
ing cooperation However, any
home, homes to any number, are
eligible to the honor of the white
flag in the yard, sign of religious
services inside.
Miss SAKE met people of the
quad-cities yesterday afternoon aft
ernoon after the tabernacle meet
ing, a large number filling the plat
form to whom she explained the
Importance of bible study in sue
cessfully carrying on the Sunday
campaign. Rev. ]. c. Granger of
the First Baptist church presided
and called on DIR. Frank Cole of St
Johns Methodist church of Daven-
port, who asked the cooperation
of every one in the prayer meeting
and bible study movement.
Miss SAKE stated that bible study
classes during the evangelistic
are just as important as
they were in preparation for the
coming of the evangelist, and
should be conducted with the same
zeal and interest.

large section of seats in the right

Thirteen may be an unlueky
number, but the delegation from
the GoTmitory men of the Daven-

bear out the superstition.

Now the grandest work is done

did a greater work through his

The Democratic editor has no

LIFE SAVER FOR MINING

The Western mining industry has
a great deal at stake in the resump-
ton of business in Europe.
In commenting on the situation,
J. D. Ryan, of the Anaconda Cooper
Co. said that in his opinion silver
prices will remain high for several
years and have not yet touched their
highest level.
Copper" he said, "is in a better
position than for many months, bu,
its future will depend on the res
toration of European industry to pre-
war prosperity. There can be no
marked advance in the price of the
metal until the European demand
r~evives."
In the meantime the li~fe-saver for
the mining industry is freedom from
labor troubIeS and reduce cost of
operation, due to greater labor eff
ficiency.
