Much interest is being manifested by the denomination as to the out come of the drive for missions un dertaken after the convention at Hot Springs. Ark., last year authorized its boards to plan work on a basis of $2,500,000 for the present year— sl,ooo,ooo for home missions and $1,500,000 f#r foreign missions. That is 75 per cent greater than the sum raised last year. Leading ministers and laymen throughout the South have been active, and the outlook is that the money will have been raised when the convention meets. The admission of women as dele gates on an equality with men is being watched with interest. For more than 75 years the convention has maintained the policy that wo men should be silent in the churches when men were present. Last year's convention adopted a resolution al lowing the women to be admitted. Many women oppose the change be lieving their work should be con fined to the individual churches. ■ Many men oppose their admission on the ground that the membership ofj the convention already is too large I and should be divided.

Biggest Winter Wheat Crop Is Being Forecasted Washington, May 9.—The greatest crop of winter wheat ever produced in any country is in prospect for this year's harvest. The forecast of pro duction, estimated by the Depart ment of Agriculture, placed its size at almost nine hundred million bushels—in exact figures. 899,915,000 —which would make this year's harvest worth $2,034,000,000 at the Government's price guarantee of $2.26 a bushel. Kansas is producing an enormous crop, the forecast of production for that State being almost 22 per cent, of the county's total indicated out put. !

OVERLAND NEARS RECORD Only 719 Miles Short at Ten O'clock Last Evening, at End of Fifth Day At the close of the fifth day of run ning the Overland model 90 in the world's record nonstop sealed in high gear had covered 3,531 miles, 439 miles ahead of the Oklahoma cars record of 3,093 miles for Ave days The car Is running In fine shape and according to all indications Is capable of going along at the same clip for some time to come. At 10 o'clock last evening It was within 719 miles of the world's rec ord of 4,370 miles. The first day of the run 790 miles were made with out pushing the ear in the least. The drivers have been cautioned not to make too much mileage and to hold the car in, but it is thought that by 6 o'clock this evening the world's record will be in the possession of record will be In possession of Har risburg car and in the short time of only six days and six nights. This is a remarkable record considering the fact that tho car lost four hours at the time of the accident in Worm leysburg. That it will exceed the world's record mark by between six and seven hundred miles in seven days and nights if it continues its present pace is a settled fact. One fact worthy of mention in the run being conducted here is that the car on every day so far, has exceeded the A. A. A. 24-hour sealed in high gear record by many miles. This record was made in tho city of Chi cago some time ago, the mileage be ing 587 miles. The lowest mileage made by the Harrisburg car was 625 miles, and that was Monday. The highest average was made the first day, it being 790 miles. The highest mark made In a day by the Oklaho ma car was 661 miles and the low est was 581 miles. Harrisburg can well be proud of the remarkable mileage record be ing made by this car and it is one that will stand for a long time. In Oklahoma, better road conditions are to be found and fewer hills, in fact none like there is in this section. To them our hills are mountains. The record that formerly stood was some where around the 4,220 mark and was made by a car in Los Angeles In 1914. That the Harrisburg car will push it oyer the 5.000 mile mark is setting a pace that will be hard to equal any where. CANADA AFTER FOREIGN TRADE Is Pushing Peace-Time Exorts Up to Unprecedented Figures Paris, May 9.—Canada is in the midst of an energetic campaign for for eign trade, which, from results thus far achieved, bids fair shortly to push her peace-time exports up to unprecedent de figures. On armistice day Canada's foreign commerce, outside of that in war materials, was virtually at a stand still, because of lack of shipping facili ties and the conditions imposed by war. To-day, five months later, the volume of her peace-time trade is said to be equal to that before the war, and the receipts to be greater. Canada's ex ports in 1914 were valued at approxi- 5430,000,000. As Sir George Poster. Canadian min ister of trade and commerce, who Is in Paris, pointed out to the correspondent of the Associated Press, the foreign field for Canadian activities is virtually without limit. The difficulty which Is being encountered is the inability of European countries to pay for goods, al- ! though they are anxious to get them. Canada already has granted credits of $25,000,000 each to Belgium, Greece. Rumania and Prance, making a total J of $100,000,000. Other credits are un- ; der discussion. * Barge advances also have been made to the mother country to enable her to pay for products for herself and her allies. Canada is operating in the foreign field through a well organized system of trade commissioners. This has been supplemented by a trade mission in London and a branch mission in Paris. This machinery is designed to get into close and quick touch with Kuropean necessities with a view of placing Can ada's natural and industrial resources at the service of the countries over here for reconstruction. The results thus far achieved have given rise to great op timism in regard to Canada's immediate future in trade. A large part of Canada's war-time in dustries are said to be convertible for peace-time manufactures. Canada's war industries were, as a matter of fact, really an organization of her peace fa cilities. Sir George Foster estimates that the losses which will be sustained in the conversion will be a minimum. Coupled with the quick return to peace conditions industrially has been the suc cessful working out of the demobiliza tion scheme for the troops. These men are rapidly being absorbed into their old occupations. All the Canadian troops remaining on this side will be back in about two months, it is stated, ready to take up their pre-war work. j Middletown J lan Reception to Overseas Soldiers J. B.
