GAVE UP PLEASURE.
And Used Money With Which TO
Purchase Savings Stamps.

On Sunday the scholars of the Con-
gregatiOnal Sunday school made a
notable choice, choice which put
their country before their own pleas
ure. Once year the school gives a
picnic. Each year, for the past ten
years, the choice has been Silver
Lake, and because of the efficiency Of
the superintendent the choice has new
err been regretted The superintendent
makes all arrangements; he arranges
for the weather, electric car, bath
house, boats, ice cream, lemonade,
etc. He has never failed. Consequently
the day has always been warm and
bright and generally delightful.
But this year the times are out of
joint. We are at war. We are opposed
to the most powerful military organi-
cation in the world. To fight to win
every man and woman, girl and boy
must help. The scholars of the Con-
gregational Sunday school decided
they must do their bit. Instead of go
ing to Silver Lake they will use the
money to buy War Savings Stamps
They gave up pleasure for duty. 1t
was a noble choice

RETURN TO WAGER OF BATTLE
Warfare Of the Future Likely to Be
Restricted to Comparatively
Few Combatants

A day, not far removed, may come
when the embattled hosts Of rival ma
tons will give place to wager of
battle to decide the conflict The bat
tie will then be confined to the COM
batants alone without violent interfer-
ence with the peaceful pursuits of
noncombatants or destruction Of their
property.
First. however, we must evolve
great engines Of destruction, so per-
feet that few skilled heroes will d.
rect each one Of them. These war ma
chimes will be SO costly that only q
few great powers will have the re-
sources to construct and maintain
them. Wise legislation and skillful
systems of taxation will be necessary
to organize the whole people for their
support. A chosen few, picked from
the whole nation, will man them, men
in the full vigOr Of their strength,
physically perfect to endure the terri
BILE strain, and powerful Of brain to
meet and surmount every intricacy Of
mechanics and every difficulty of
strategy.
Above all, these hero supermen
must be of such answering character
that they will, day in and day out,
without surcease, devote their unflag
ging zeal to the great task of defend
ing the civilization for which they con-
tend. The evolution and the increas-
ing economic burden Of maintenance
Of this machinery will make war the
luxury Of the most powerful states
and will cause the area Of war con-
stantly to recede. Small nations will
no longer be able to maintain military
establishments, and eventually the mil
lions of men who now battle upon the
field of honor will have been replaced
by contest among few men in con-
troll Of stupendOus machinery.-Ellery
G. Stowell in the Century Magazine.

BIG BLOW DID DAMAGE
FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY

Four years ago this morning cy-
clone struck this city and did a great
amount of damage. At 2:3O a. m. peo-
pie were awakened from their slum-
Der by the bowling of the gale as it
swept from the southwest to the
northeast, demolishing bd ildings in
it's narrow path and doing thousands
of dollars damage. The fact that no
one was killed was probably due to the
time, as hardly any person was on the
streets in the devastated district
Kohlhoff Bros. & Knispels ice house
and Hartig's bOttling works and a
number of home were badly wrecked.
were ripped off, leaving the ice bare.
Heavy timbers were hurled through
the air for several blocks, many OF
them piercing houses like spears. even
passing through brick walls. The
small residence of Henry J. Wetzel
lost a large section of the roof. A
large mass of brick and mortar
crashed in on one of the beds shortly
after two children who were sleeping
there had left it. Had they remained
there they would have been crushed
to death. Flying timbers smashed
holes through the west wall of the
brick house of Henry KrOening and
the roof and cOrnice were badly dam
aged.
The Edward Elsie house at the
corner Of Lynn and North Second
streets was almost completely wreck
ed. The roof was torn away and the
house was badly battered, the damage
being over $1,000. The Cruel house, the
Joseph Fischer house and the house
belonging to the Davenport estate
were badly damaged. The roofs Of the
houses of Anton Kretschmer and H.
A. Schumacher were ripped off. Tele-
phone and electric service in the vi
entity Of the storm was put out OF
commission for several days. Large
| electric light poles were snapped of
like matches. The North Fourth street
bridge was badly damaged. Edward
| RadlOff's barn near the bridge was
tipped over and destroyed, but the
horses inside were unhurt, but an
auto was damaged. A barn ON Herman
Riebe's farm east Of the city was
moved off it's foundations and the roo
of the born owned by William Wolf
northeast of the city, was lifted.
