LEAP YEAR
Clubs Will Make Systematic Can
vas for Eligible Men.
Victims will be Led to Hymeneal
Altar by yp-tO-date and
Painless Methods

1t is rumored that the young
women of Missouri Valley have
organized a secret society with
local lodges in the principal
wards. The order is called the
Missouri Valley Leap Year
Club.
The purpose of the new or
ganization is to list every
eligible single man in the city
with a brief statement of his
good and bad points as a prob
able life partner. Typwritten
lists of eligibles will be ex-
changed by the local societies
so that every woman in the en-
tire city who is disposed to take
advantage of her time honored
Leap Year privileges may look
over the list and select the
article that strikes her fancy.
Each man is numbered and
each number has its peculiar
meaning as explained by the
following key:
Easy mark, not very de-
sireable.
2-Good looking but knows it.
8 Member six lodges, go
slow.
4 Homely but affectionate.
5 Owns good farm, little old.
6 Nice boy, worth raising.
Z Needs wife with strong
will.
8-Too fond of other girls.
9-Will inherit bank stock.
10 Perfectly willing.
Ill Hard worker and stingy.
IL Got the stuff; hard to
land.
13-Spoken for.
ID Fat and jolly.
l5 Rich but dyspeptic.
l6 Young, handsome and
generous.

The War Debate

the question "Resolved that
Russia should win in her strug-
gle with Japan, Before open.
ing the debate, DR.. Colt, the
president of the club, made a
short and interesting address
painting in choice language the
march of events for the past
century, and the necessity that
we should be ever alert tc
keep pace with modern thought
and action. Attorney c. w.
Kellogg was the first speaker
on the affirmative of the ques-
tion under discussion and he
paid a glowing tribute to Rus
sia's aggressive policy in deve]-
oping Europe and Asia. He
contended that the remarkable
feat of constructing the Trans
Siberian railroad and opening
for development almost a whole
empire of territory had awak-
ened the heather Japan nation
from her le5l e gy of 6O00 years
and with jealous eye she watch
ed the trend of commerce fol-
lowing Russian enterprise and
coveted the fruits of Russia's
industrial victories. Attorney
j. S. Dewell, chief speaker for
the cause of Japan, went back
into the history of both coun-
tries and the Japan-China war
a few years ago, which after a
short conflict brought victory
and new territory to Japan
arms. How Russia in connec-
tion with other powers had
compelled Japan to give up tie
fruits of victory and distribute
them among the world powers,
and that it was the intention of
Russia, Which now dominated
nearly one-sixth of the earth's
surface, to eventually hold full
sway over China and that her
refusal to evacuate Manchuria
and the fortifying of Port Ar
thur was but the first step in
that direction. The assistants
of the two chief speakers were
Prof. Beveridge for the affirm
ative and Justice A. B. Hos
brook for the negative, and butll
ably assisted their respective
sides. Prof. Beveridge, for the
affirmative, contended that
Japan had violated internation-
al law in firing on Port Arthur
before war had been declared
and that the great public i'm
provements Russia had made in
Manchuria justified her holding
possession of the territory and
that with Japan in possession
of Port Arthur was no assur-
ance it would be an open port.
Mr.. Hosbrook for the negative
said it was not a question of
race but a question of right
and If Russia was not checked
in her greed for territory it
would mean the end of the
Chinese empire. He said it was
Russian greed that deprived
Japan Of the fruits of the Jap
an-China war and that her de-
sire for the acquisition of ter
ritory was a menace to all
Europe. All present declare it
an entertaining and interesting
debate.
A. Coulthard and Chas. House

Mrs. Cummings, who has been

Our Educational Campaign.

Again we wish to ask those wishing
Ostcopathy to make themselves
known to us by phone or postal and
we shall be glad to mail them regu-
larly the Journal of Osteopathy (pnb-
.lishcd at Kirksville, Mo- as we did
several months last year. 1t makes
no difference TO us whether YOU are
in perfect health or are one in need
Of Ostcopathic treatment: our object
'in sending this leading magazine OF
our profession into the IS of this
community is for educational pur-
poses. We find this To be the most
acceptable manner OF elcvating the
standing of our science in this COM
munity while we as individual repre-
senIaLives are willing lo lock out for
ourselves, realizing, however, that
where Osteopathy is advanced we
shall receive part OF the benefits
therefrOm.
Very few excepting those who have
taken the treatment are competent
to express an intelligent opinion upon
the science and if these magazines
are read as they should be VIC are sure
we SHALL gam the confidence of many
who haze heretofore expressed doubt
or even ridIcule of our profession
which reflects dir city or Indirectly
upnn us and them as we'll.
In after making an Intelligent and
unprecedented investigation OF the
science you do not believe i'm it, you
are entitled to so express yourselves,
but can you claim this privilege be-
fore? We find, however, that those
most conversant with The teachings,
therapeutics and results OF Osteo-
pathy are those who work most
earnestly for it's advancement.
