Student Insurance at Columbia

Perhaps those Of our readers who
are not closely acquainted with the
inner working of great body of
students like that assembled each win
ter in Columbia, the seat of our state
university, will be interested to know
the extraordinary precaution taken
by the students themselves, TO take
care OF tn ose Of their number who fall
victim TO disease or accident during

An organization known as the Stud
ents' Protective association was started
two years ago, and now embrances
some three hundred of the students,
Constant growth at the same rate will
soon bring practically every student
into its membership. The initial fee
is 500, Each year the surplus re-
naming after paying all bills arising
from hospital treatment of sick men,
bers is turned into a surplus fund which
was started by a gift OF 500 from a
gentlemen in ST. Louis, and which will
be increased from year to year,
The officers OF the association are
president, secretary, treasurer, and
board of control, The secretary of the
university is, ex.oilicio, treasurer OF
the association, and a member OF the
board of control. The board Of con.
trol must also embrace one member Of
the university faculty, one member Of
the BOARD OF curators, and four students,
all elected annually by the association.

LAND AND MINERAL DECISIONS.
A Weekly synopsis Furnished by Wood
ford ID. Harlan, Land Attorney,
Washington, D.. g.

COAL LAND--As between two claim.
ants, both claiming the land on ac.
counts Of the coal therein, priority of
application and good faith in improve
ments should govern the award.
CONTEST Withdrawal Of contest
will not prevent the government from
taking advantage Of the evidence sub
mitted.
SUBMERGED LAND-There is no law
authorizing the entry Of submerged
land lying within a navigable stream.
HoMESTEAD-The qualifications re-
quisite TO make homestead entry must
exist at date of entry, and any rights
acquired by filing an application are
lost where the applicant subsequently,
and prior to ertry becomes disqualified
to enter.
MINERAL OR NoN.MINERAL-The
presumption as to the mineral or agri-
cultural character Of tract, created
by the return of the suryeyor-general,
does not preclude the assertion of any
right, or the proof Of the facts in the
case as they really exist.
PRACTICE-Practice before the To-
cal land Office not affected by state
procedure.
Hypothetical questions will not be
considered by the land department.
Observation-Disclosures is estab-
lished from the moment a settler goes
upon the laud with the definite inten-
tion OF making his home there.

FORSYTH IN THE BEGINNING 1919.

FIRST THINGS always have PEE
culiar charm for the student Of
history. This is particularly true as
regards the locality with which one
has so long been associated that every
object seems ike an old acquaintance.
In recalling scenes and incidents OF
the early times S. G. Turnbo, OF Pom
tiac, has done the people of this Sec
tion real service, in rescuing things
OF historical interest from the clutch
of oblivion. In this aad succeeding
issues of the Republican 1t is our pur-
pose to reproduce some of the stirring
incidents from little volumn pub
lished by Mr., Turnbo, under the title
of "Fireside Stories of The Early Days
in the Ozarks:
From the top OF the bluff on the onorth
side Of White river, below where the
Forsyth and Kissee Mills road leads
up the hill and some two and one-half
miles below Forsyth, good view of
the near vicinity is obtainable. The
wooded hills and serpentine course of
the river as viewed from this bluff
make a delightful picture. One
beautiful day in the early autumn /
sat on the top Of this high bluiT and
reflected back when Taney county was
almost an unbroken wilderness. While
resting here among the beautiful moss
covered cedarS felt sad when my mind
driited back TO the time when the old
timers lived in this neighborhoOd and
who have passed beyond this life. AS

posite side of the river is a large farm
where John Mitchell and Dave Woods
lived when | was q little fellow. This
farm is now occupied by Dee Thurman,
whose parents came to White river
in the early days, Turning TO the left
and looking down the river / noticed
the small farm where my father set

was q years old when he built his first
log hut here and kept "batchn until
he married, in the latter part of 1912.

HUMILITY.

As birds sing oftener on lowly
roofs than palace domes, and
roses love best to climb DER low
ly window sills and cottage caves,
so to the poor Gods blessings
come, freighted with dearest
wealth, and to the humble heart
His love is sweetest. They who
have oftenest bowed to earth with
deep Affections are nearest heaven;
and as the rose never gives forth
all its sweetness until it is crushed,
so human hearts need the good
Fathers hand to press the bios
SONS Of purity, and love and faith,
that He may not have impaired
to them their heavenly fragrance
in vain.

Fred Parcher brought his pigs back

Cheerful Evening Reverles for Tired
Mothers
AS A GIRL SEES II.

AS GlRL SEES II.
DEAR EDlToR:-Will you per-
nit one of the girl readers of your
paper to occupy little space in
your highly appreciated Home
Nest department. will begin,
girl-like, by asking a question.
Has no one seen a good girl late
ly? Are girls nowadays much
worse than those of yore? The
average newspaper would make
you think so. Every journal
(your own excepted) which / pick
up has one or more columns de-
voted to things against women,
until | have become frightened,
and find myself wondering if |,
too, am one of those dreadful
creatures. And are those articles
written by men2 If SO they must
be men without homes or families,
who have mixed with a debased
class of society. Surely no hon
orable gentleman would pen an
article such as we daily peruse,
denouncing all the gentler sex as
eXtravagant, jealous, faithless,
nay, even immodest-men with
no home in which to receive the
kiss of a dear wife or meet the
innocent eyes of bevy of sisters
or daug ghters, These articles SOW
the seed in the minds of young
men for thoughts and feelings
that would never have risen there
without teaching. Now | am
young, and am worldly wise, at
least, yet | have had my little ex-
perience, and ! must say that |
have met with many pure, good
women, kind mothers, loving
wives, dutilul daughters, atiec-
tionate sisters; women who are not
for running their husbands or
fathers by extravaganza; who are
not falling in love with every hand
some man they see; who are not
eloping every day with the family
physician or husbands friend; but
sensible in every respect And |
have met very few good men, Ire
grct it, | do not wish 10 speak
against the men, for | rather like
them and am willing to say that
my experience has been, perhaps
unfortunate. am inclined to be-
lieve that as in all ages there have
existed noble men, "faithful in
love, brave in war;" SO they may
still be found-faithful in love
/ (where there is plenty of money!
brave in war with a major gen.
eral.ship ahead, and pretty good,
usually, when the skies are serene
and they have nothing to cross it.
And now | claim a champion.
Will not some one be braye enough
to stand in opposition to popular
opinion, and truthful enough to
say to the public that he has seen
at least one or two real good girls
in the course Of a year2 If such
a one can be found | will thank
him warmly, and will think that
honesty is not yet extinct from the
race of men.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if this, my
first attempt at newspaper writing
does not find the waste basket you
may hear from me again.
Very truly,
ELIZABETH JANE.

Every good act is charity. Your
smiling in your brothers. face is
charity; an exhortation of your
fellowmen to virtuous deeds is
equal to alms-giving; your putting
wanderer on the right track is
charity; your removing stones and
thorns and other distractions from
the road is charity. A mans true
wealth hereafter is the good he
does in this world to his fellow
men. When he dies people will
say, "What property has he left
behind him?" But the angels
who examine him in the grave will
ask, "What good deeds hast thou
sent before thee2"

tune as a common laborer, an en-
ployment good enough as long as
one can do no better, but one we
should advise no active young
man to choose out of the many.
If young man has wealth, he
certainly needs a knowledge of
business sufficient to enable him
to preserve his wealth. Neither
would trade injure a rich young
man. A little of the ''brown and
brawn," and steadiness of charac-
ter which labor induces, would
make him better, more reliable
wielder of capital,
The time has passed when young
men Of this country can neglect
the task Of learning the details of
an occupation with impunity.
When the country was new and
the population thinly scattered
over the land, when there was
plenty Of room and privileges were
cheap, people could find employ
ment easily. Skilled labor was
scarce, and rough hewers were in
plenty. Any one could become
an artisan. Mechanics, especially
in the west, sprang to the journey
mans position in a day,
But that is changing now.
Population is becoming more set
tied and dense. Property in
creases rapidly in value. Men are
becoming rich, and desire more
elegant business Be resi-
dences, carriages, aAfml.snc ap-
plianccs of civilization of all kinds.
The people demand better public
edifices. Mechanics, artists, and
all kinds of skilled labor are in de-
mand. He will win who has his
trade best learned. The man of
skill is always in demand. The
young man who would be sure of
employment all the year round,
in "hard times" as we'll as in
times of prosperity, must know
how to do something thoroughly.
1t is we'll to get an education.
A thorough educational discipline
will make you an ADLER man. But
educate for some particular OBJ
