The ermon was based on the familiar passage in Micah. 4:1-3. It dealt with the general course of wars, their causes and evils,, the crushing bur dens imposed upon the chief nations of the world by the late world war, and the possibility of finding a remedy; with some consideration of America'! enlarged responsibilities and opportunities, and balancing of the desirability of general disarma ment and the apparent necessity of being prepared to protect ourselves and our weak neighbors against a nation that does not disarm.

A radical change is being made in the clrriculiir". of many high schools. Amorican history, civics and a know ledge of American Institutions is being giwn more attention and foreign languages are being made elective instead of compulsory. This is a move in the right direction to de velop a sound American public con sclcusness. THE WATER FIGHT AND FUN FOLLOWING The water fight, which was sched uled to come off Friday evening, brought out a great crowd. Th battbv ground was located on Sd street, on hose being attached to thV hydrant on the north side of Mal street and the other to the one oh the north side of A street No Booth Kelly team entered the contest, as had been at first expected. Two contesting teams, of five each, were made up as follow! : Miin street Me Earl Moore, Walter Gossler, Jack Howie, H. B. Freeland, T. V, Hender son; A street side Jess Walker, Frank DePae, Elmer Sankey, Bud Clark. Ralph. Swe&iy. All but the two last named were members of the fire department Remember, this was a no-decision contest; and this brief report of the fight has been made . up, as far aa possible, by balancing the expressions of non-combatants, both during the excitement of the fight and; after ward!. Naturally, the crowd gathered mostly along Main street and on Sd street alongside the hotel. The upper windows of the hotel were filled with spectators. One spectator remarked that the A street team had bettr fighters than the others: "They'll eat the other fellows up." It Is a mat ter of common knowledge that the heavier pressure was on the Main treet side. How much bearing these elements had on the course of tie fight Is hard to say. - -. It seemed to most observes, we think, that the Main street team got the range first managed the bote best, kept the range most steadily. They kept the water on their opp nentamuch the greater part of the time. But when the A street boys did get a stream playing full upon their antagonists for a little while two or three times, they were greeted with lusty cheers from the audience. The A Btreet boys swung from side to side several times, to get out of range and get the advantage In their own hands. The Main street boys did not shift their footing much. The contest lasted longer, no doubt than anybody expected. Although the A street boys were getting such a thorough drenching, they were game to the last Whether either team would have given in until they were exhausted was not apparent The audience appreciated the fact that the boys were enduring this pum meling and drenching chiefly for their entertainment, and as a sample or their mettle, and no doubt came away from the exhibit with a warmer feel ing for them than ever before. Cer tainly none of the onlookers cared to exchange places with them Just then. Finally the referee. Chief Smitson, called for the water to be turned off from the hydrants, and the fight end ed, with both sides still in the ring and still on their feet. The band played two or three pieces before the fight began, and played at intervals during ,the subset quent proceedings as long as they could see the music. After the fight the crowd gathered in the park, and a stock of ice cream was served up on little paper plates with paper spoons, and sold from an improvised pjatform near the old dwelling. Then Harry Coraaw auc tioned off a large stock of pies, which went away above war-time prices. The net proceeds of the sale were about $25; which was divided by previous agreement in the proportion of 70 per cent to the fire department and 30 to the band. J. F.
