Representative Van Horu has intro
duced a bill to regulate the erection, by
railroad companies, of bridges over uavi-
glble streams. The bill provides that airy
railway company shall have the right TO
build a single span bridge over any navi-
gable stream, providing the span ehall be
made $50 feet high over tide streams and
100 feet high over streams which have no
tide. The hill further empowers the
secretary OF war to remove all bridges
over n~avigable streams which do not COM
ply with these provisions. If he fails 10
do so, he is to be removed from office.
SeIaIta Democrat: A merchant had as
we'll take his goods to some out-of- the
way back room and store them until call
ed for as to undertake to do business
without advertising. The central loca-
ton, the sign, the window and shelf dis
play are all advertisements of his wares,
but the best of all advertising is the an
nouncement in the newspaper that goes
into the homes of possible customers.
The business man who properly under
stands the art of advertising bends his en-
orgies to promoting trade by laying
tempting offers before those who are able
to buy.

holders can congratulate themselves on
such a good showing.
Tho Missouri State University Indepen-
dent contains the following: Mr. L. G.
RyIand, OF Lexington, Mo, will be presi-
Dent of the athletic association next year.
lar. RyIand is eminently fitted for the
position. He is an old college man and
has exceIled in three departments Of col
lege life, military science, oFatory and
athletics. Mr.. Ryland was, for three
years, n student in Wentworth Military
Academy, where he received a medal for
merit in drill work. Mr.. Ryland next
went To Westminster college and was a
student in that college for four years.
Though taxing more than the amount of
work necessary for graduation he did not
take a degree. While at Westminster. Mr..
RyIand won a medal in defamation and
in oratory; was always connected with
athletics, as we'll as other college work.
Mr.. Ryland was a member OF the baseball
team for three years and was one year
captain and the next year manager. His
next honor was won in the field day exer-
cises. Coming as he does with a large
experience in college life and athletics we
believe Mr.. Ryland will make an Ell
and progressive president OF the athletic
association.
