FACE DRENCH|NG
IN ANNUAL SCRAP

A powerful stream OF icy cold
water thrown from the nozzle of the
biggest hose the District Fire Depart
ment can supply will be the referee
at the annual class scrap between
the freshmen and sophomores of
George Washington University.
The scrap Is scheduled to occur on
the brldle path at Twenty-flrst and
, streets In Potomac Park at $50
o'clock on the night OF Friday, Octo-
Der 20. A committee representing
the student council of the university
Is seeking to enlist the cooperation
Of the police and fire departments in
making the scrap q success.
The scrap this year will be similar
to that OF last fall and will take the
torn OF a tug of war. A long stout
rope will be secured, probably from
the local navy yard. At one end will
be twenty-five husky freshmen. At
the other end twenty-five brawny
sophomores. Twenty yards will sepa.
rate the advance men of each side.
Loses Fer DrenchInS.
A solid stream OF icy water from
the fire hose will play across the
middle OF the rope, midway between
the advance men OF the opposing
sides. At 4 signal each side will
commence tuGging, and after a lively
tustle, the less powerful students will
be drawn into tho stream of water
and thoroughly drenched
The scrap has semi-official sanction.
and IL Is expected that faculty mem
bers will be on hand to see that fair
play is maintained. The student coun-
ellis committee in charge of arrange
ments is composed OF John Lyons, OF
the Medical School; Einar Dieserud,
of the Law School; James Patterson,
Of the Veterinary College; Alvin
Higgs, OF the College of Engineering,
and Eugene Underwood, OF Columbian
College, chairman.
Clashes Toned Down.
The class clashes at the university
date back to the year 1892. Each
succeeding scrap became more furi-
Gus, and the situation became SO |
serious four years ago that university
officials sounded the doom of hazinE |
and class fEhting. In these days Of |
furious lighting, many of the STU
dents were injured while being las
Ioed, padded, and kidnapped" The
facades Of the university buildings
and the walls OF the rooms were
with class pronunciamentos,

busy for several weeks repairing the
ianage.

Gives Mule Gasoline

Slim Plug, owner of the Punkin
Hill livery stable, had a queer. ex-
perience Monday night. Sims bay
mule, Pluto, had a severe case of
collie and in administering some of
his favorite medicine, Slim grabbed
up a bottle of gasoline by mistake
and poured it down the mules
throat. 1t seems that spark from
Sims pipe must have put fire to
the stuff. causing spontaneous COM
bustion to set in on the interior of
the mule, for before Slim could
realize his mistake old Pluto back
fired and threw Slim clear out in
the barn lot. When Slim regained
his senses, the mule was shifting
from low into high and soon disap-
peared up the road, heading for
Turnip Ridge at a 2::40 clip. Slim
shot off his musket to wake up the
citizens of Punkin Hill, and a little
later Squire Bluegrass was in his
Lemonseed runabout taking a short
cut to Turnip Ridge in order to
head off the alfred critter, but
when he got to Turnip Ridge he
learned that the mule had failed to
reach that place. Going back over
the long route, with the intention
of meeting the animal face to face,
the Squire found Pluto two miles
east of Turnip Ridge nipping the

Santa Claus
and Others

There is nothing truer than
a fairy tale. 1t is the quin-
tessence of what aristotle calls
the probable impossibility.
The best of the fairy tales are
folklore, giving the boiled
down wisdom of centuries of
experience, and the truths they
teach are the old, old facts of
human nature put into visible
form for childish minds to
grasp. These tales do not
teach morals By prscept, but
truths by example, says COL
her's. No amount of teach
ing about the brotherhood of
man, and Christmas kindness,
and the rewards of virtue, can
haze such an effect ON the
small, objective soul as is pro-
duced by the vision of Santa
Claus NTH his sUhite beard and
tt0inkly eyes coming with toys
for good little boys and
SWITCHES for bad little boys,
shedding jolity and bemevo-
lemce all over the place. Long
gears from now, when every
incident of these stories is lost
to the memory, the knowledge
of fundamental human values
viU remain. Teach the chill
dree fairy tales and you teach
them the wisdom of the ages.

SAFE AND SANE CROPPING
SYSTEM FOR 1917

Misled by the glamor of 20-cent cot
ton, there is grave danger that many
a southern farmer will stake his all
on this one crop-forgetting that cot
ton, compared with other commodi-
ties, is not really high-priced; forget
ting the. need for living at home first
of ALL forgetting the great lesson that
soil fertility must come first in sue
cessful farming.
BY spring corn will probably be
selling for $3.50 bushel, flour at sI2
barrel. hay at $25 to $50 a ton Cot
tonseed meal and acid phosphate are
soaring, and potash fertilizer in guam
tity cannot be had at all consequent
ly every farmer who expects to get
his soil fertility In sacks is going to
have to pay dearly for it. Shoes and
| leather goods Of all Kinds are higher
than this generation has ever known;
implements, wire fencing and nails arc
high and apparently going higher.
All in all, then, cotton, relatively,
J is not high. True, it is now so per
cent. higher than the standard price
of recent years, but practically every
thing else we eat, wear, or otherwise
use is also so per cent. or more high
err. This being true, and any man
with his eyes open knows that it is
true, where is there particle of logic
or common sense in rushing pellmell
into all-cotton?
Whether cotton is high or low, for
the cotton farmer anywhere in the
south we have consistently held that
there is one and only one sound, safe
plan, and that is to provide for food
feed, and soil fertility first, and then
raise what cotton he can on the acre
age not devoted to these live-at.home
crops. This means
/. A good garden, plenty of Irish
and sweet potatoes, cane for syrup
fruit trees, a big bunch of producing
hens, some good cows to furnish plen
ty of milk and butter, plenty of meat
hogs and corn and wheat for bread.
2. A first-class pasture to furnish
grazing for the chickens, hogs, cattle
and horses, a good acreage III oats fol
lowed by peas or beans to furnish
cheap feed next summer and fall, and
an abundance of corn and peas OF
beans to insure us against having tc
buy feed another year.
8. A legume crop on every acre
every year, to build up our lands and
save fertilizer bills. 1t is, of course
too late to put i'll next spring big
acreage of peas, soy beans and velvet
beans and peanuts. Then next fall
let us begin with crimson clover and
use it hereafter as green manure
crop to plow under in the spring fol-
our corn.

Farmer, common sense and a bank &C
