WHEN YOU ARE OLD.

When you are old and gray and full OF
sleep
And, nodding by the fire, take down
this book
And slowly read and dream of the
soft look
Your eyes had once and of their shad-
ows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad
grace
And loved your beauty with false love
or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul
in you
And loved the sorrows of your chang
ing face.
And, pending down beside the glowing
bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crown of stars.
w. b. Yeats.

Quit Ringing
Bell for Fires

The fire department is trying the
plan of not ringing alarms of fire with
! the bell in the court house tower.
Temporarily, at least. all alarms will
be silent After trying the plan for a
while the department may make it
permanent.
There are several reasons why this
members of the council. One is that
| it Is no longer necessary to call the
| tiremen to duty, which was the pur-
pose for which the bah was hung in
the court house In the days of the
volunteer department. Still other rea-
sons are that the sounding of the bell
attracts crowd. Firemen say that
no sooner does the bell ring than ev-
cry man who has an automobile and
nothing to do goes racing in the direc-
! ton of the fire and makes the task Of
driving the auto trucks that much
more difficult and increases tie liabil-
ity of accidents. Crowds at fires in
variably interfere with the firemen,
and none of the modern cities sound
public fire alarms. Still another rea-
son is that the present alarm system
is constant source of annoyance be-
cause it is so often out of repair.
1t has been suggested to the city
that if it is going to abolish the noisy
bell fire signal up town it might go
step further and discontinue the
sounding of the whistle at the pump
| ing station. This signal aad been used
for years before the bell was hung in
| the court house.

CLASS ROWS BREAK OUT.


High School Sophomores and Juniors
kidnap Each Other and Dtsrobe Some
The annual spring scraps between
high school class members broke out
Wednesday, starting early in the day
and continuing Well until into the
night. A feature of it that the school
authorities consider most undesirable
was the active part young men who
are not in school had in the affair.
Beginning with the painting Of the
sophomore and senior numerals, II
and rs. on the sidewalks at the school,
the class rivalry. mostly between the
juniors and sophomores, took the form
of kidnapings in the noon hour and
at night.
At noon juniors seized "Puss' Balch,
a sophomore, and hauled him to the
vicinity Of Varnum's hill at Twelfth
and Doty streets, then dumped him
out. The hour was late, but Balcli
almost made the high school building
without being tardy. lacking only a
few minutes of being on time.
In retaliation for this sophomores
seized three juniors, Roy Brown Bill
Rist and Polly Wiley, and bore them
in an automobile into the country
about two miles. There the juniors
were dumped out and left to walk in.
It is said Browns clothes were taken
from him.. and returned to him later.
This is both affirmed and denied.
To keep the honors even about 8
O'clock juniors travelling in an auto
mobile seized Cara Brown, a sopho-
more. and bore him into the country,
where he was dumped out and left
to walk home. 1t is both claimed and
denied that Browns captors disrobed
him before releasing him.
1t was rumored that as a result OF
the escapades, some Of the participants
had been expelled. This was%not true
it was learned today, and none has
been expelled because none .sof the
pranks were played on the school
grounds or during school, hours.
High school pupils say that only one
senior was engaged in the kidnapping

BIG WORK MAPPED
OUT FOR CHURCHES

the Federal Council OF Churches.
The program adopted today pro-
vides that movements shall Instituted
IN every state within the next year 20
make rural churches participate In
these activities: Good roads, better
farming and extension OF agricultur-
al college work. public health and
sanitation. temperance and law en-
forcement. consolidation OF schools
where possible, social and recrea-
tional centers. community beautifica-
lion. celebration Of religious and pa
triotic holidays and boys and girls
agricultural contests. These activ-
tiles are to be managed in addition
TO regular religious work.
To accomplish this program, rural
churches must cooperate not only
win each other but also with such
organizations as the Grange, Young
Woman's Christian Association,
and school authorities, the confer
ence decided.
Enlarged Function.
The report on this enlarger func-
ton of rural churches was presented
by committee headed by President
Kenyon l.. Butterfleld. OF Massachu-
sets Agricultural College. former
member of the American rural
credits commission which toured
Europe two years ago. Plans were
formulated to put the program into
effect, with each state as campaign
unit. These will be announced local
ly later.
Bad business methods in most
churches was the subject of another
report by committee of which
Prof. G. Walter Flske, OF oberlin,
u, was chairman. 1t contained rec
concentration for "a campaign OF ed
ucation. involving the instructing OF
church treasurers and trustees on
standard methods OF financing. bud
get systems. adequate methods OF Sc.
curing contributions. with definite
and regular payments. simple system,
OF parish accounts. and periodicalaud.
ting. Any church's spiritual
condition and financial status are
closely related" the report com
mented.
II added There is no use denying
the fact that thousands of country
churches are quite unnecessary, be-
cause the community had plenty be-
lore these came. Rural business
men have right to refuse to support
