Rev. E. P. Phreaners Sermon on The
Search of the Magi.

The approaching storm did not pre-
vent a good number from gathering
for the morning service Sunday at the
First Methodist church. The arrange
ment of wreaths of ground pine, ever
green trees, red bells and the large
star back Of the pulpit fitted the Oc-
caSiOn COmmemOrated. The service of
song consisting OF anthems and
Christmas hymns beautifully rendered
was helpful in that it led the hearers
to appreciate more fully the glad It'd

closing three questions We're asked:
Are YOU wOrShipping God here and

faith. Do You believe Christ is your
Lord and Savior? The worship OF
God requires sincerity and truth. You
cannot worship God if you regard
iniquity in your heart. Can you say
in sincerity, Thou art my Christ and
my Savior? Worship Christ with the
spirit as we'll rs with gifts

CHRISTMAS SUNDAY SERVICES
At First Congregational Church Rev
G. H. Ewing breaches on the Com
ing of the Messiah.

At the First Congregational church
the sermons, music and decorations
Sunday were suggestive of the Christ
mas season. In front of the pulpit
evergreens and poinsettia were used
with graceful effect. An electrically
lighted star over the organ and just
below a lighted wreath We're beautiful
in the evening. Suspended from the
chandelier was a large wreath with
a red bell in the center; hemlock and
clusters of evergreen were about the
church.
The music was of a high order of
excellence. The joyous note in the
carols was in pleasing contrast to the
impressive rendering of the anthems

DAVIS THEATRE.
Triangle Feature Photoplays, Keystone
Comedies and Three Big Keith Vau-
deviiIe Acts Today.

Today will see the opening of the
Triangle photoplays at this theatre,
and the bill booked for Monday and
Tuesday is easily the best photOplay
programme ever presented in this city.
The feature attraction is The Lamp,
with the great actor, Douglas Fair
banks. 1t is a five part Griffith pro-
duction and one of the finest examples
of war plays in filmdOn. 1t is a story
of how a young New Yorker finds him
self in Mexico through a misadventure
and has mnay thrilling experiences.
Another feature on this bill is the re-
turn to this theatre of the famous
Keystone comedies, which are also a
part Of the Triangle corporation, and
for the opening comedy attraction My
Valet, a three reel Keystone comedy,
will be shown, with such stars as
Raymond Hitchcock, Mabel Normand
and Mack Sennett, the man who made
the name Keystone famous. This is
the same programme which was shown
at the opening of the KnickerbOcker
theatre, New York, at prices from %
cents to 81, and made the biggest hit
with the critics in the history of mo-
ton pictures. In addition to this eX-
ceptional bill of pictures, the manage
ment announce this theatre will show
three big vaudeville acts, changing the
acts twice weekly. For this bill the
vaudeville is The Mimic Four, two men
and two women. in an unusual oddly.
The Day After. They do several diff
ferent stunts and are singers Of the
highest standard. Another big act is
Max Yorke and His Pupils a novel
acrobatic act. with five dogs going
through a routine of acrobatic feats as
well as the acrobatics themselves. The
third act is dainty Allie White and her
violin, a clever little lady who knows
how to play the violin and wear nice
clothes. This is one of the biggest
bargain shows ever presented in this
city for the money. Owing to the ex-
IRENE length of the show, the matinee
will be at 2.15 instead of 2.3O and the
evening at 6.45 and S.45. The prices

with high honors and is favored by
Viola, the apex of the romantic vision
of both boys. AS the regatta day
draws near, Brent is made stroke, and
Morgan only qualities as substitute
Morgan in his jealou6 rage confides to

bookmaker gets him in his clutches.
To further his ends, the bookmaker
engages his tool to saw one of the

ering, and when the race takes place
it happens to be Brent's oar that is
weakened and it breaks. The only
thing left for Brent to do is to leap

RAISING GOLDFISH NO
JOB FOR A LAZY MAN
Topeka Citizen Makes Fortune
at II by Hard Work.

Topeka, Kan.-Ten acres of goldfish
bring Eugene Cate Of Langdon, Kan,
more ready cash annually than is
cleaned up on the average 100 acre
farm But raising and marketing ten
acres of goldfish is no lazy mans job.
In fact. Mr.. Cate rh's III us many
days work in Il year as does the aver
age farmer. His working season. how
ever, differs from that of the farmer
His heavy work begins in the fall.
just about the time the heavy farm
work is over for the season. and it lasts
all winter Wading in water hip deep
during the winter months and sorting
fish with the bare hands are some OF
the Inconvenience suffered by the
goldfish producer
For many years Mr. Cate has oper
ated a private hatchery in Reno coun
ty, near the little town OF Lahgdon
He took UP homestead near the foot
of the sand hills, some of the land be-
ing covered with boys and springs.
He built one pond and stocked it
with fish. expecting to sell them on the
market Soon there came :; demand
for small fish for ponds AL creeks.
and he quit raising for the market and
went into the regular hatchery bust
ness.
He gradually enlarged his hatchery
until now it covers thirteen acres and
is composed of fifteen ponds, The in
dustry grew to such proportions that
Mr. Cate has turned his grain farm
over to his son and now devotes his
time exclusively to the production Of
fish.
For some years he raised game fish
and shipped them all over the west
Notwithstanding that nearly every
state has Il fish hatchery which sup
plies small fish for it's streams, ponds
and lakes free of cost, Mr. Cate has
had no trouble disposing of his hatch.
He still supplies hundreds Of ponds in
Kansas. Missouri. Oklahoma and Ne
braska with game fish. He sells direct
to the Nebraska fish department and
also to the federal government
