PLEASANT HILL

During the past week or ten days
several raids have been made on the
Sales Room for quaint bits Of cos
tuning, hats and "basques", ribbons
and furbelows, for the ladies of the
village, mothers and daughters, with
several of the faculty and students
have been 'busiIy preparing for the
presentation of "The Old Maids Con.
vention", given at the Academy on
Friday evening, before crowded
house. Those of US privileged to
witness beforehand some of the make
ups were partially aware of the en-
tertainment before us, but ones wild
est fancy was outdone by the assem-
bly, of characters who marched out on
the stage for the meeting of 'The Old
Maids Convention"
The costumes were screamingly
funny but the acting was even more
so, and the audience was in constant
gales of laughter. Prof. Colby was
unimitable as the French inventor and
demonstration of the Machine which
transformed the Old Maids into their
various youthful and beautiful ideals.
The students who represented these
ideals deserve their own need OF
praise. The contribution of each ad-
ded much to the pleasure and fun,
while the doughnuts sold by the Sal
walton Army Lassie disappear d as
swiftly as the famed ones overseas
The jolly evenings entertainment and
neighborhood gathering was but Gull
mination of the happy and successful
effort of the members of "The Get To
gether Club" to live worthy of their
name, now was this the only fruitage,
for goodly sum was realized toward
the Clubs contribution toward our
pastors salary.
In connection with the fall work +
Athletics and it's support, Prof Whar-
ton announced in chapel Friday morn
ing that the school would give .'ollar
for dollar for contributions paid by the
students. The interest taken in athe
letics is on the increase and we feel
sure that Pleasant Hill will have good
teams in the different games before
this term closes. 84

only that the conditions of the act,
which are nothing more than good

all, there is no so-called red tape. The

include a check of all Cancelled re-

short monthly report relating to re-

the amount of insurance carried, if
any, is required of wareh6usemen.
The receipts of bonded warehouses

CUTS FIRE INSURANCE RATE.

Fire insurance companies recently
announced that when a warehouse
man joins the United States ware
house system the fire insurance rate
on stored cotton is automatically re-
duced 25 per cent. This is tangible
recognition of the Government in
spection of warehouses and of the
other regulations of the United Stat
es warehouse act.
The purpose of the act, with regard
to cotton, is to standardize warehous-
ing and provide for the issuance Of a
standardized observation-disclosures re-
ceipt of unquestioned value and in
tegrity, backed by a bond to the Unit
ed States Government. The Govern

There remains to be paved in the

To show how costly the "pay-as-

facts:

HAS SUPERB WATER POWER
That Of British Columbia Is SAID to
Equal Five Niagaras In Its
Possibilities.

The potential water power OF Brit
ish Columbia. experts declare. is equal
to that of five Niagaras. Pouring down
from the mountains comes enough wa
ter to develop 100000 horsepower
Niagara falls. when all the water hat
Is available on the Canadian side mas
been harnessed will produce only ESQ.,
900 horse power.
Only $4,000 electric horse power is
now developed by the plants supply
Ing Vancouver. New Westminster and
the towns In the vicinity. This power
turns the wheels of mills and fac
tories, propels the street cars of these
cities and provides lights for the
streets and homes. If the entire wealth
of British Columbia in water power
were harnessed 1t would be sufficient
to provide power, light and heat for
40 cities the size Of Vancouver and
New Brunswick combined. With this
cheap power available, economists
predict that some day the province
will become one Of the greatest manu-
featuring centers Of Canada.

Fine Tune Will Live.

Probably the majority of church
goers will agree with the vicar Of Well
ingborough in his refusal to allow the
church bells Of his parish to ring out
"Tipperary" in honor of the great
peace, for in these matters one must
of course draw the line somewhere.
Yet, when the vicar asks: IF
Tipperary.' why not Tommy, Make
Room for UncleT" the analogy is not
very apt. Both songs, it is true, are
not-well, classical music. But the
glorious associations of "Tipperary'
have raised it far above such criticism !;
and though the famous tune may never
reach the height of a church belfry,
1t is. nevertheless, likely to go down
to posterity as the immortal Mar
seillaise" of the Old Contemptibles.-

Motion Pictures Of
Hunting and Fishing
AT GAME CONSERVATION
DINNER

NEWARK-What are declared to
be the most remarkable motion pic
lures ever taken of fishing and hunt
ing will be shown at the second an
nual dinner of the New Jersey Fish
and Game Conservation League, the
State organization of hunters and
anglers, which will be held in New
ark, Tuesday evening, December 7th.
They include two films of several
thousand feet which have not been
produced publicly in the East. One
Of them, indeed, has not been shown
IN public anywhere.
The films in question are of bass
and trout fishing. At one stage tele-
scopic lenses were used and the fish
are shown in closeup in the water,
the lure is seen dropping nearby and
then the fish are clearly made out
rising for the artificial tid-bit. The
principal in the trout film is George
La Branche, universally noted as fly
caster. The bass picture was taken
Under the supervision of Al. Foss, of
Cleveland, and during the unreeling
OF II between forty and fifty large
lass are landed, most of them to be
returned to the water
Other pictures have to do with sea
fishing, showing battles with channel
bass and other species of coastal
waters, including huge shark Deer
hunting, turkey hunting, duck shoot
ing and also. typical coon hunt, with
g fight between dogs and coon, will be
reproduced in motion pictures.
The chief speaker of the evening
will ha Canrpa 7 nf
United States Game Warden, who
will come from Washington to address
the gathering. Mr.. Lawyer, who is a
former president of the New York
Forest, Fish and Game League, is an
honorary member of the New Jersey
organization.
The committee in charge of the
event has announced that the dinner
will be open to all who are interested
in outdoor life, whether members of
the league or not. Tickets must be
secured in advance, however, and no
reservation can be made after Friday,
December 3rd. The leagues head
quarters is at 314 Essex Building,
Newark.
At the business meeting, which will
fellow the, dinner, it is said that ques-
tons of vital concern to the hunters
and anglers of New Jersey will be
presented for action.

Early Christian Communists.

For over zoo years all Christians
were communists, who held the land
and waters as well as all timber and
precious metals in common. There
were no superior ecclesiastics among
them. The lot was cast in deciding all
questions and the assembled commune
judged all disputes and when any de-
cision was not well pleasing, the whole
community passed review on it and
reversed or confirmed it according to
the will of all. This bold democracy
was an Inheritance from the Jews and
was held in adherence by pagans who
trafficked in land and made profits from
others lahnr.-RoIlins Ancient His
