DAYLIGHT SAVING LEFT
TO WILSON'S PLEASURE
Senate Passes Measure Repeating II
and Sends Il On.

Washington, August 2.-The Senate
today decided to have the proposal for
reapeal Of the daylight saving law
again run the gauntlet Of President
Wilson's veto. BY vote of Al to IL
tho Senate passed and sent to the
President the separate House bill re-
pealing the daylight saving measure.
During brief discussion of the House
bill several senators predicted that the
measure, like the daylight repeal rider
on the agricultural appropriation bill,
would be vetoed by the President. The
separate House bill was suspended
until today, and in the interim the
President vetoed the rider and the
House was unable to enact 1t over the
veto.
The Senate's action now places vir-
tually similar repeal legislation again
before the President. The only diff
ference in the vetoed rider and the
separate bill is that the latter would
not interfere with standard zones Of
time.

RUGGLES CAMP
CLOSES SUNDAY
FOR The SEASON
Important News Happenings ut Popu'

Close Sunday.

Ruggles Campgrounds, August l.
Miss virginia Mae Hurd led the early
prayer service this morning. These
meetings for prayer in the quiet hours
of the early morning are seasons Of
great refreshing for the worshipers.
Thanksgiving and praise for the fine
rain and delightful change Of atmos-
phere was a prominent note in each
prayer. Miss Hurd Is an ideal leader
for such a service. Everyone present
felt the inspiration of the meeting
At the morning preaching service
Superintendent Davenport delivered a
strong sermon. At 8 p. m. Rev. Ma
haffey brought an inspirational mes
sage to the young people and children
who were present in large numbers.
It looked like Sunday congregation.
The subject of the address was "The
Grasshopper, the Ant, the Spider and
the Rabbit" The speaker bzASd his
message on a verse from the book of
Proverbs in which the wisdom writer
drew lessons of help from the charac-
teristics of these insects and small
animals. The speaker made strong
appeal to the boys and girls to give
themselves while young to the Savior
and become members Of his church.
Several came forward In response to
the invitation given. Rev. Mahaney
gives his last talk Saturday morning
1t being necessary for him to leave In
the afternoon to meet his appointment
at Shinkle church, Covington, Sunday.
He will be held in high esteem by
young and old alike for his splendid
leadership of these meetings and for
his kindly sociability while on the
grounds.
If the taking of the census could
have been put off until Saturday it
would have gone over 450. Many be-
lated campers have come today to re-
main over Sunday, some even payin

to stay in them two or three days.
There has been twenty ministers CT
the Methodist church present this year
and one from the NJ. E. Church, South.
This is few less than last year which
is accounted for by the fact of so many
spending their vacation time at the
Centenary at Columbus. Many others
were put so far behind with their work
by the influenza epidemic that they
felt they couldn't spare the time to at,
tend this year.

DR.. Bunton preached his closing ser
mon this evening. He chose as his
subject: 1.-THE Dynamic of the Moral
World" preaching there from the eli
max of the series. 1t was DR.. Bunton's
keen regret that he was compelled to
leave at the close Of this evenings
service. He expressed his apprecia-
ton of the campmeeting, highly prais-
in6 the high type of the services that
have been carried on. 1t can be truth
fully said that the series of sermons
preached by DR.. Bunton have been the
best ever given at Ruggles Campmeet-
| ing. It would be impossible for the
writer to use terms Of praise too high
for the work done by DIR. Bunton for
this campmeeting. The people here
have had the opportunity to hear a
really great preacher, an orator of the
highest order, a progressive thinker
abreast with the times, fearless in his
attacks upon all manner of evil,
whether 1t be in the realms Of poll
tics, society, OF religion. Together
with his great oratorical power he
possesses a personality that wins for
him the undivided attention of every
person before him. A truly modern
preacher ranking with the best Of all
denominations. A pastor whose SER
vices are being sought by the largest
and strongest churches In Methodism
A man SO vitality interested with the
great issues of the day that his SER
vices and counsel is sought by men
high in the world of politics, COM
merce, education as well as the ecclesi'
astical world. That Ruggles Camp
meeting has had this privilege Of hear
ing him nightly for over week has
certainly been the greatest feast OF
spiritual things ever enjoyed here
And It has only been through his great
love for the campmeeting where In his
early ministry he was wont to come
yearly and to have active part in its
management, that his services were
secured for this year. 1t is the sincere
hope OF ever yone that his services
may he gecured again for next year
