No League For Dr. Orr Rev, J. Alvin On-, pastor of on? of the largest United BTesbyterian churches in Pittsburgh, preached Sab­ bath morning in the Reformed Pres­ byterian cteirch and in the evening At the M, E, church, Dr. Orr and sons have Just recently returned from a trip to‘Europe where he had opportunity to study conditions abroad- . Dr, Orr stated: " l wept to Europe prc-League of Nations and I came back Anti-League” “ If the United States ever could ,haye done anything in the league of Nations* that time is past.- It is too late now for this country to do any­ thing more than acting the big brother • and lending a helping hand to Europe* European people are for rvar. They want war. They think war.* They are determined to seek gain by conquest, They do not understand the American idealism and they look with suspicion upon the plan of giving ' something for nothing. ' The stand of France in the Ruhr is defended and condemned. The Dr. is of the opinion that France is right in demanding that Germany fulfill the reparations program, Germany is able to pay and ha3 the gold but approval . cannot be given France for her meth­ ods of forcing this payment. That prohibition is a long way off in Europe there is no question ac­ cording to the speaker, People think they are right in having liquors and are not in a frame of mind for . the change, ' Much has.been said of immoral con­ ditions in France but less of tins evil was seep in Paris and' other French .cities than can be found on the streets o f New York, on the trains^qr in most communities. ■ F A L L C A R T O O N E T T E S REV. FLACKS COMIND TO CEDARVILLE NEXT MONTH ’’ . ., ' • i Rev. Joseph Flacks, who is coming to Cedarville to conduct a series ,of evangelistic meetings, is a converted Jew. Has conversion took place in ‘ St. Louis some years ago* since .which . time he has entirely given up his bus­ iness interests and devoted all liis en­ ergies to preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Last MarA he preached for two weeks in, the First Reformed Church, Xenia, at the Triangle meet­ ings and his services are spbken o f very highly-by the men who had those meetings in chahrge. He .preaches plain Gospel sermons. The story" of his conversion which he gives in two installments is very .interesting and instructive. •■• The meetings in Cedarville will be held in the opera house and will he* gin on October 14th, continuing three weeks, It is hoped that the people of our community will arrange to havp that time as free ,as possible from other engagements so that these meet ings may have a good attendance LOCAL MAN SELLS INTEREST IN VALUABLE PAYTON LAND ' According to Dayton papers George Martind&te andhis aunt, Miss Cather­ ine Knecht of Dayton, have sold 261-2 acres of laud along Riverside drive to R.

BOTH OLD AND YOUNG The prize fight last Friday night for the championstep among.the heavy Weights attracted .more at­ tention and caused more comment in most circles from the school youth to the aged,' in'the homes and on Jie streets, than did the. great earth­ quake that destroyed millions in prop­ erty and thousands o f lives in Japan. Two of America's best, as- We are inclined tojspeak from a pugilistic standpoint battled a little over three minutes Mat Friday night in New York City. The, fight was the fightiest ight in recent years. One of the reg­ ular knockdown beef and brawn af­ fairs that has become almost the national sport in this country. Derp^ psey won but his championship belt came neat going to Firpo, the Argen­ tina champion. More than SO,OOQ persons gathered in the polo grounds in New York city to witness tins event. The gate ' re­ receipts were $1,200,000. Dempsey takes down -a epol $500,000 While the challenger1received $150,000 for his trip to tiie U. S. A- The management cleaned up a few hundred thousand and the fans were satisfied with high priced scuts for three minutes of sport Once one a time prize fights Could be held any place in this country back ,vhen John-Sullivan was the hero. As time went On legislation was passed that barred the game. In later years it was necessary to hold the prize fight in some western state. These were not profitable. Then .some wise head saw his chance and the name was changed to a boxing match. And here we are today with the prize fight conducted as a boxing match without 'legal in­ terference, ' The Dcmpsey-Fiipo contest waa the biggest tiring of the kind ever known, Legislation cpnnot stop what the pub­ lic is determined to have. All forms of gambling ate illegal yet we have one form for horse racing that just this week was sanctioned by the courts. Public sentiment eviderjjjjy de­ mands it.
