Nicklas to Hold Short Services For St Johns
Horrors of War Stiffen Moral Fiber of Canada Says Rae
War has brought a distinct blessing to Canada along with its horrors, according to Rev. Joseph J. Rae, pastor of First Presbyterian church. Dr. Rae is a native Canadian and has only been in the United States about ten years. He is p. naturalized American citizen. The blessing which Dr. Rae believes
has emerged from ,the caldron of war is a stiffening of the moral fiber of
the Canadian people.
The blessing likewise would be the
portion of America in any war into which the United States was drawn, he believes. Canada is Stronger Morally.
: "Human nature unfortunately is so
constituted that it requires misfortune or disaster to give strength to moral fiber. Prosperity is enervating. Adversity apparently is necessary. Of adversity Canada has had her full share," he says. "Morally Canada is stronger today and she is more active in good works than she was before the war began. "Sacrifice always is ennobling. ' Canada has gone into this strife not with

BRIEFS
Leiter Risks Limbs and Life to Tear Down Junior Flag
Senior class dignity is not to be trifled with. Lester Leiter, member of the class of 1917 of Richmond high . school, demonstrated this this afternoon when he risked life and limb to retrieve said dignity. The dignity was encroached upon last night when a band of frivolous juniors hung out a banner on telephone cables leading from a pole midway between Eighth and Ninth on North A street to the high 'school building. The banner read, in massive red letters: 1918 Senior's Goat. This affront of the school provoked natural peevishness. Volunteers were called for to remove the banner which waved 30 feet from the ground and 20 feet from the pole. Leiter responded. " He shinned up the pole, applauded by a horde of his loyal mates. Then he worked himself hand over hand out to where the banner hung. He jerked it loose from the cable and worked his way back to the pole. There he tore it to shreds. His mates continued to applaud. Juniors present resented the applause. Especially as their champion, Charles Chappel, was unable to reach the .top of the pole. There was a genteel Ehindy with no causalties. All this time our hero, that is the senior class hero, worked calmly and intrepidly. What looked like a cigar
protruded from his clenched teeth. When he had finished he replaced his ccat and started down the pole. Chappcl blocked his path, so he remained at the top until his adversary also grew tire of the suspense, literal as well as figurative. Meanwihle a large outpouring of sightseers crowded A street and the south windows of the high school were filled with feminine mates of the gladiators.

The recent cold weather hes given the Vapor Steam Heating Apparatus installed in this edifice a fair test Chas. Johanning, Plumbing and Heating Engineer, personally prepared the heating plans with specifications for same and installed this plant. Tine ideal toward which we strive in every part of work intrusted to us is to give complete, satisfying service. Heating installations today involve more than the simple mechanical knowledge concerning the cutting and fitting of pipes and the attachment of fixtures. Engineering qualities and past experience enter vitally into this work. The heating engineer must give due consideration to many scientific problems before be can construct a system that will operate on an efficient and economical basis. Imico Steam Boiler and National Radiators placed in this building are the best and most reliable obtainable; the past ten years have fully proven and justified this statement. For Best Heating and Plumbing, see Charles Johanning, Cor. 11th and Main streets.
