Editor notes a brief Osage Mission meeting held early in the season with a smaller turnout due to location and timing. President Howsley, Dr Stayman, Mr Wellhouse, Mr Kelsey, Mr Kingsbury, Prof Gale and Sec Brackett attended as did Col Butler, the city mayor, who welcomed the group. Howsley warned of winter injury to trees and potential crop losses, but anticipated a very abundant next year.
