SUNDAY SCHOOL coky gNTIoN

The annual meeting of the Brook
ings County Sunday School Associa-
ton is to be held at.Bruce, Saturday
afternoon and Sunday, October 9-10,
1915.
An interesting program is in pre-
paration which it Is expected will be
helpful to all the schools of this
county.
Each Sunday school in the county
is urged to send at least one delegate
to the convention for the full attend
ance and as many others for part time
as can be prevailed upon to attend.
The county association should be
able to contribute 500 to the work
of the state association this year, and
this means that each school should
send a delegate prepared to pay or
pledge a definite amount for this pur-
pose. Then, too, the county officers
should not be expected to foot all the
bills for postage and other expenses
so an additional contribution should
be arranged for for this fund.
Do not forget the dates of the con-
vention and take the time to attend
for many good things will be present
ed which will afford food for reflection
and which can be used in forwarding
the interests of your particular school.
The program will be published in
these columns next week. Watch for
it. J. H. Hubbard, Co. Pres.

SOPHOMORES WIN
OVER FRESHMEN
IN THE ANNUAL BAG RUSH AT
STATE COLLEGE FIELD ON
SATURDAY
THIRTY OF THE FRESHMEN KIDNAPPED
Sophomores Slip One over on Their
Adversaries by Taking Freshmen
Out for a Little Country Air

Handicapped by the loss Of about
thirty men, the freshmen were defeat
ed by the Sophs in the Bag Rush held
at State field last Saturday. The
Sophs numbered 48 men while the
freshmen, though showing an enroll
ment of rs boys, were represented by
only 80 on the field of battle, the re-
mainder Willing away their time in
barns and woodsheds where the
thoughtful sophs had placed them out
of dangers way. An exchange of pris-
oners Immediately before the rush
gave each class five more men.
The three bags were placed on the
center of the field, the sophs lining up
at the east goal and the freshies at
the west. The starting signal was
given by Coach Ewing at 1894. In
every case a sophomore was the first
to hit the bag, Brick" Coughlin hit
ting the north one first, Holman the
middle, and Aney the south.
Hoover, who was barred on account
of foot ball generated the sophs while
Noel, Fisher, Lee, Gilbertson, Sim
mons, and Salisbury gave the fresh
men their directions. The bags moved
steadily toward the freshmen goal,
and at the end of the first five min
utes, the three bags had moved about
13 yards. The fighting now became in
tense, the freshmen fighting desperate
ly on the defensive and the sophs
eager to put the bags I've the line.
The bags moved slower from then on.
and at the end Of fifteen minutes had
moved 26 yards from the center Of the
field.
At about this time the clothes began
to fly. and one by one the contestants
discarded their cumbersome garments
that they might fight more effectively.
The two north bags collided when ten
yards from the freshman goal.
At 1897, with seven minutes Of the
rush left, Revell (soph) appeared on
the scene with five freghmen recruits
whom he had been detailed to guard at
his fathers barn. Two minutes and
thirty-six seconds after the reinforc-
ments went in, the south bag had been
pushed back to a point 10 yards from
the center OF the field. 1t moved very
little from then until the end of the
rush.
Exhausted by their efforts, the tired
final signal, gradually releasing their
hold on the bags and on each other.
The 1915 bag rush was over, with the
bags placed as follows: South bag Fl
yards, middle bag 80 yards, and the
north bag AZ yards from the center of
the field, all toward the freshman goal,
giving the sophomores the victory.
Both classes put up a strong fight,
although the outcome was at no time
uncertain, since the sophs had the ad-
vantage in both numbers and exper-
fence.
After the rush, all classes retired tci
the customary feed, the freshmen to
the gymnasium, the sophs to the Old
chapel, the juniors to the agronOmy
laboratory, and the seniors at Austin's
Observation-Disclosures.

SIGNS OF RAIN
Simple Things That Tell Us
When a Storm Is Brewing

On the subject of predicting
rain, Rollin Lynde HART in the
Woman's Home Companion
writes in part as follows:
"There are plenty of soundly
scientific weather signs that are
right before our eyes and vouch-
ed for by the best meteorolo-
gists. For instance, the ring
around the moon,' which is pro-
duced by a thin, filmy cloud
made up of minute particles of
ice-a state of things not built
to last. Either some unlocked
for commotion will put a stop
to it in a different manner, or
it will pour cats and dogs with
in three days at most. In eighty
six cases out of a hundred the
rule holds good. A still better
sign is the ring around the sun.
"This is science, pure and SIM
pie, and so is the old maxim;
The farther the sight the near
er the rain 1t is not pessimism
that makes people along the
coast predict a downpour when

people in mountainous regions
call it too good to last when a
distant peak, generally invisible,
comes into view. They are
shrewd meteorologists in MAX
ing these predictions, and also
in declaring that sounds carry

"Of all nice, convincing wealth

Stinginess, and a vice.

J4eS SClIlglHoSS, ana a vice. Fl
h Nobody wants to be thought
stingy; but 50 confused have
thrift and stinginess become
hat many who could be thrifty
are not because they are afraid
somebody will think them stingy.
The thrifty live well; the
stingy live i'll.
The thrifty get a good deal out
of life; the stingy get nothing
cut of life but meanness.
Thrift is making a wise dis
posal Of your means; stinginess
is simply hanging on to every
cent you can get and keep.
/. Thrift saves money which is
used to good advantage. Stingi-
! ness saves money which does no
body any good, and which some
body, some time, scatters to the
birds, to his own hurt.
The thrifty family takes stock
of its income and it's needs. 1t
sets aside so much for each item
of a reasonable and wholesome
scale of living proportional to
Its means. It lives within its
income, and it leaves a margin
for saving and investment. 1t
lives well, but simply. 1t avoids
extravaganza, but saves itself
from niggardliness. It's food is
wholesome and ample, if plain.
It's clothing is neat and comely,
but transformations Its appear
ance is far sightlier in every
way than that of the family
which faunts it's extravaganza.
1t presents a good appearance,
but escapes pretentiousness. The
thrifty family uses sound bust
ness judgment in the manage
ment of its finances, and gets
the most out Of it's money and
the most out of life.
!. The thrifty family can afford
many sound, wholesome things
because it avoids empty and USE
less ostentation-things like
books and magazines and 'cul-
ture which the extravagant
never can afford.
Thrift is simply sound COM
mon sense.
Stinginess is as foolish as ex-
travagance. )
The thrifty get more out OF
| life than the extravagant be-
cause they regulate their expen-
ses sensibly. They get more out
of life than the stingy because,
though they spend intelligently,
they do spend.
The extravagant spend their
money on show, the stingy don't
spend their money at all, and
the thrifty spend their money
on solid, substantial things that
last and satisfy.
The extravagant are foolish
because nobody cares about their
show, which deceives nobody but
themselves.
The stingy are foolish because
they sacrifice everything worth
while for the mere sake of mon
ey, which is utterly valueless in
itself, and useful only for what
it will bring.
The thrifty are wise because
they sacrifice nothing worth
while, discard only the frivolous
and empty things, and while lay
ing by a little for the inevitable
rainy day get use and pleasure
out of life as it passes.
The stingy are miserable in
the gutter. The extravagant are
are uneasy and ridiculous on
precarious and foolish pillar of
show. The thrifty are happy and
contented on a sane, wise and
