Ewing, but he had admitted that no
one could tell what might happen and
that there was the possibility that God
would be present in some form.
His plans and beliefs ridiculed by
the local clergy and citizens, Ewing,
by profession a travelling eyeglas,
filter, nevertheless spent months in
perfecting his arrangements and
broadcasting notices of the meet
to all corners of the contenent.
1t was Ewing's contention that
modern religious services of singing
and preaching do not allow the Lord
to make himself heard or sentence

Just before the "silent hour" ar,

lions as to whether he personally
had received the manifestation which
he had expected for the entire crowd,
his attitude being one of listlessness
more than of disappointment so far
as appearances indicated to those
around him.
A number of officers deputized by
the Aitkin county sheriff's office were
in attendance, but were not needed,
as the crowd was at all times order
ly. Among those in the crowd were
Rev. w. E. Young Of the Aitkin M.
E. church, and Rev. Sidney Forester
of the Aitkin Congregational church.
Most of those at the grove were
from among the residents of the viii
lage, with few from nearby points,
Duluth and the Twin Cities, end one
Chicago newspaper man. This fact
prevented any rush for lunch at noon,
for which no preparations had been
made.

one time lived in Duluth, where he

 Hitting at weather reports falsely credited to the weather bureau, the department ofagriculture today warned persons who disseminate these reports, that they are guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or prison sentence.
 The warning primarily was direct ed against commercial concerns that have been advertising a "cold win- ter" to increase the gale Of fuel or clothing.
