UNION SERVICES
OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS

Next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock
at the Baptist church there will oc-
cur something distinctly new under
the sun when the Sunday schools of
two distinct denominations will meet
together, No, it is not new under
the sun either. but at least 1t is under
Pullman's sun, so 1t amounts to the
same thing for us in Pullman.
And 1t is going along as smooth
as though it had always been a habit.
So many have thought, even if they
have not said as much, that if two
denominations tried to work together
they would quarrel and figth and dis
pute like very heather. But things
are being demonstrated these DAYS
in Pullman and not talked. And
when you come to demonstrate the
truth of this thing in actual practice
you find nothing but peace and fell
lcwship and good will And you find
that a-plenty.
And talk about enthusiasm! II Is
not OF the worked up variety. 1t is
not the result of oratory. There has
been no oratory and no working up.
1t is natural and full, healthy and
strong.
The meeting of the Sunday schools
together proves that the instinct to
unite is not on the part of only a few
leaders. 1t is the instinct of all. old
and young. The classes are not to
be merged except when necessary.
1t is not one going into the other.
But it is a demonstration that even
with distinction in the name and his
tory there is still fellowship that is
happy to feel in work and service.
And then to think that the schools
voted to continue this arrangement
Tor the rest of the summer! These
indeed are strange things, never
heard before in Pullman. But 1t is
like sweet music nevertheless, as
those who attend the school next
Sunday morning and the rest of the
summer will find to their delight.
These Sunday sch ools are those of
the Congregational and Baptist
churches.
The union service of the BAPTIST
and Congregational churches will be
held next Sunday morning at II
O'Clock in the Congregational church.
Rev. A. NJ. Allyn of Spokane will
speak. An invitation to all.

Josephine Preston wishes TO send the
following message to the boys and

useful articles. In this race some
will win prizes, but all will gain ex-
perience which will be Of lifelong
value.
Owing to the fact that this is our
first statewide fair, all you need to
GO to get your exhibits entered at
Spokane is to do the work yourself,
and exhibit at one county or local
fair first. If you have gardens your
county uperintendent will instruct
you to take only half for the county
fair, leaving the other half to grow
larger for the state fair. You will
also be allowed to bake fresh bread

Ii essages from time to time So,

interesting race the schools of Wash

on the streets, Johnson was arrest
ell saturday night and taken before
the local court, where he was given
the sentence, together with the costs
of the case Upon the promise of
the prisoner to leave town at once.
however, the sentence was suspnd-
ed, and the Italian was allowed to
go his way rejoicing. Together with
three friends. johnson hired an
autom obile and went to Colfax,
where the quartet proceeded to accli
mulate life-sized cargo of Colfax
brew, returning to Pullman Sunday
morning and indulging in free-for-
all fight on the streets. johnson"
was at once taken in charge by Mar
shall Baymiller and the sheriff's of
flee at Colfax was notified to send
deputy for the prisoner, who is
now serving the sentence which he
had an opportunity to escape.
johnson" is familiar character
about Pullman, where he has been
for several weeks, but has never
been known to do a days work. 1t
was thought for a time that he might
be an agent of the |. w. w. organi-
cation, whose mission here was to
incite the street laborers to strike
for better wages, but, although he is
alleged to have visited the incoming
trains and warned the laborers who
come to Pullman not to accept posi-
lions on the paving crew, the evil
dence against him was not sufficient
to secure conviction on that
ground

LECTURE ON PEACE

I'm the past, in fights, the best
man Won; today, under different
conditions. a bullet worth a cent may
kill a $4,000 man" was the way
Professor Lester B. Shippee summed
up the situation in an excellent lee
ture on Peace" delivered last Fri
day before the students of the Wash
ington State College Summer School
Professor Shippee said in part:
Under present conditions we are
not tending toward peace to the ex-
tent that we might. The teachings
of history, of literature and of art
emphasize the war spirit and empha-
size 1t as heroic, without giving suf-
ficient indication of its evil results.
Not only are we paying 20 per cent
of our revenue for war purposes,
past and present. but it has even
been claimed that the generation in
any nation following war is not up
to the standard of Others"

DANGER AND PROTECTION FROM
LIGHTNING

No house can be seriously injured
with tightening if there is ample op-
pcrtunity for the electricity to escape
from the house to moist earth. Peo-
pie and houses are injured by the in
ability of the electric fluid to escape
easily from them to the earth. |
suspect that if a man were encased
In iron, from head to foot, and stood
on moist earth, the tightening might
strike his iron shield and do him but
Pttle injury, for the electric fluid
would be conveyed through the iron
to the earth. But man carrying a
steel-framed umbrella which was
struck, would be killed, for his body
"a poor conductor) would have to
carry the charge of the electric bolt
from the umbrella to the earth.
Since ships have been made of steele.
there have been no casualties from
lightning at sea for the water and
the steel are good conductors, per-
r'ltting the electric fluid to pass off
: ithout explosion or disturbance.
Likewise, a house that is covered
with sheet iron, could not be injured
10y lightning if the iron covering were
connected with moist earth or with
iron pipes leading to waterworks. If
your house is covered with tin all
you have to do is to connect this tin
roof with the waterworks pipes or
with wires or rods that extend to
damp earth, which can be found at
depth of from three to five feet.
The above explanation will give
you an idea of what protection
should consist, and that is a free op-
portunity for the electricity to es-
cape from the building to moist
earth. In the cities, waterworks
pipes usually extend from the water
mains in the streets to the metal
roofs of buildings, and these give an
opportunity for electricity to escape
without explosion or dam age to the
building, but there must be con-
tinuous metal from one roof leading
tn another, which often occurs
through the conductor pipes.
