NOW HE'S WAR PROPHET
REV. Christmas, Fake Divine Healer Strikes
New Money Makinq Stunt

Rev. W. E. Christmas, the fake
divine healer, who undertook to make
the lame walk, deaf hear, the blind
to see etc., during stay of few
days in Langdon several years ago,
and travelled through different sections
of this country with equal success,
went back to Oxbow, Sask. where he
is operating a 96O acre farm as the
result of his labors. He is now out
with the statement that according to
the 9th chapter of Revelations wheat
will be two dollars a bushel in Winni-
peg next year, the whole war will be
over in 1915; the nineteen nations
now referred to as the old Roman
world will be reduced to ten, and bv
1916 the Jews will be back in Jeru-
salem and will soon become a great
power. Germany will lose all her
colonies, all her possessions in Poland,
Alsace- Lorraine, Heligoland and the
K1el canal will become neutral. Eng
land will get all Germany fleet as
we'll as her colonies. France will get
back her lost provinces and will annex
Belgium, Heligoland and Luxembourg.
The whole of ancient Poland will go
to the Poles. Another war will follow
the present one in which Russia and
Germany will be allied against the
rest of Europe. There is nothing in
Daniel to say when the last named
war will start.

Debating Teams of langdon High School Put
: Animated Demonstration of Chin Music Last
ing Upwards an Hour and Dispose of Very
Knotty Problem on the Public Affairs of the
Nation in Favor of Private Corporations

The "try-out' debate held Thurs
Nday evening in the school auditorium
did not bring out a large audience. In
spite of this the pupils presented
enthusiastically two part program,
consisting Of one original story by
Zilpha Stevenson, a Christmas song,
"Joy of the World by the society, a
defamation by Jennie Plummer, an
original story by Ethel Love and the
song, "Holy Night" by the society.
The second part concerned itself with
the state debate question. There were
originally six members on each de-
batting team; the affirmative losing a
member, the time was granted with
the permission of the negative, to the
leader of that side. The question as
appointed by the league reads, Resolv-
ed, "That the federal government
should own and operate all public
telephone and telegraph lines. The
affirmative argued the issue on these
points, that there were existing evils,
that these were general and specific,
and would never be remedied by either
private or state ownership; that vast
I amounts of money were paid as divi-
dends and salaries which might be
used by the federal government to i'm
prove the systems; that the federal
government might purchase the pres
ent system outright or in part through

course of from ten to forty years

ties can do likewise in the case of the
telegraph and telephone and give bet
ter service; that strikes are unknown
under the government management
and that civil servicel would rule in
stead; that federal ownership has
succeeded in countries where tried.
The negative counter argued each fof
these points, cited examples of gov
ernment ownership in other countries,
the cost thereof, the relative value of
the services and the failures, notable
in three of these states They argued
that the present service was the best

pie of the State generally. The reso-
lutions follow:
Whereas, the Highway Commission
of Maine now has at it's disposal $2,-
900, 900, to expend on the roads OF this
State, and,
Whereas the federal government has
appropriated $4,000 for the same pur-
pose, be 1t
