THIS DULL CAMPAIGN.

Another quiet campaign" People
are losing interest in politics. were
cries heard at the beginning of the
present presidential campaign. From
every side came the wall that the Am
erican had become so engrOssed in busi-
ness that politics must take back
seat. and that the oldfashioned whirl-
wind campaign, with its torchlight pa
rades, and giant barbecues would be
laid away in the past with log g-cabins
and rail-splittings. But from the devel-
opments of the last few days indications
seem to point to anything but quiet"
campaign. The newspapers of the past
week suggest that for a few individuals,
at least, things have been anything but
quiet" Two st. Louis newspapers, for
instance, were so impressed with the
"quietness" of the campaign yesterday,
that they carried no less than fourteen
columns each, of political matter, and
most of it consisted of accusations, and
explanations by prominent political
leaders.
When the treasurer of the national
committee of one of the great political
parties is forced to resign, and one of
the leaders of another, United States
Senator, is repudiated, and both in one
week, because of the damaging accusa-
tions of leader in third party, and
when the President of the United
States brands certain political leaders
as ''undesirables" and members of va
rious "Ananias clubs" in 5000 word ar
ticles and open letters, it appears that
there will be at least something doing
for those who desire to have their blood
stirred.

ments, are used in profusion by
the best designers. Fiat rosettes, ca
bochons and pendeloques rosettes with

and all sorts of ornaments are made OF

This matter of applying buttons is
not so simple as it might seem.

VIEWPOINT OF
THE STUDENTS
Those Electric Lights.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
What has happened to our electri'
lights? In certain districts of Co!umbia
it is almost impossible to study because
of the dim light. Students and propert!
owners speak in glowing terms of the
LIGHT furnished hitherto but for some
reason the incandescent bulbs refuse to
glow this year.
Various reasons are advanced. The
large influx of Freshmen, their winning
the class rush, the brilliant prospects
of the football team, are among the
Josh" reasons offered. A committee OF
scientific minds, it is suggested, might
find this a new field for research.
Certainly this would prove more prac-
teal than the mere discovery of new
or mere comet. Awaiting
the formation of such a committee,
other reasons must stand. A Paquin
street boarding house keeper blames the
light company. "The company is put
ting all the new houses around here
on nv line and l believe this affects
the light"
Another student when asked said the
light suited him. The name of the
young lady has not been learned.

GARDENING
IN OCTOBER

IN October, when leaves and flower.
are dying, when Nature is closing hel
eyes for her long sleep, it is only
those of experience who cry: This is
the best time to start a garden
There is always a setback to garden
started in the spring. because it is not
long enough from the time growth be-
gins until the hour of bloom to give
many plants their full chance to expand
before sending forth their flowers. A
plant must almost reach maturity be-
fore it blooms which, indeed. it only does
that it may form seed, and thus per
petuate itself to posterity. To start a
garden early is often the secret of sue
cess.
In October look over the garden beds
or borders, and plan for their making.
Are they in the best places-thOse des-
tined to be permanent? 1t matters not
whether the garden is large or small,
the important thing is to have the places
of planting harmonize in size, shape and
design with the general plan.
As well as a house, garden should
have it's architectural side. In the Au-
tumn, therefore, it is good idea to
draw a plan of the beds and borders and
to keep it in nearby place over the
winter. As one lives with, and dreams
over, such plan, an individual taste in
gardening is encouraged to assert itself.
Prepare the beds and borders in the
autumn, digging them out about two
feet deep, placing inverted sod in the
bottom, and finally filling them up with
layers of manure, light soil and top
lressing.

Building Ordinances.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Columbia needs a more strict enforce
ment of rules governing the construc-
tion of houses. An instance of care
lessness in the erection of house on
Hinkson avenue recently came to the
attention of the writer. A sleeper
crossing near the middle of room
was sawed from the lower edge in two
places, each time almost two-thirds OF
the way through. Both cuts were near
the middle of the sleeper. which had
not even a patch to strengthen it. Such
trivial things now pass unnoticed be-
cause the town and its buildings are
small, but, unless stopped, infractions
will grow with the town. Disclosures
will come. and then contractors will get
all the blame.

N CLBS are favOrites with those
~ who practice economy in theil
gardens, because they last more
than one season. a fact which consider
ably reduces their original cost. The
space which they make radiant in early
spring can, furthermore, he used for
sowing annual seeds as soon as their
foliage has died down to the base.
Some gardeners take up the bulbs after
they have blOOmed and store them over
The summer; but this involves much
extra work and no particular advantage
is gained, unless the space is required
for summer planting of large rooted
plants which would interfere with the
security of the bulbs
After the question of bulbs is settled,
attention should he given to all kinds
of hardy deciduous trees-fruit trees,
shrubs, vines and rOses-since the fall
is the best time for planting. Very
often small place out Of town has
barren, uninviting look because there
are no trees about it. Again. young
trees are sometimes planted at such in
artistic angles that much of their nat
ural effect is lost. The autumn is the
time to rectify mistakes in tree and
shrub planting, as well as to arrange
for setting out new ones.
October, November and even Decem-
Der, when the winter is open, are desir
able months for tree-planting. They
should not be handled until the soil is
packed hard about their roots. and then
with as little disturbance as possible

Does Columbia Like Music?

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
That a grand concert such as given
at Stephens College last night should
fail to pay expenses does not speak well
for Columbia This town has long been
famous for culture and refinement but
the small attendance at the oratorio
would not show a visitor that such fame
is deserved. We are sorry that really
good musicians fail to entertain our
people.

II tops of the high, close collar:
have prepared us for the Direc
toire neck ruches of this autumn, and
indeed the last spring and summer saw
few of these same models in ruches
though they were but little worn on
this side the ocean.
Very full collars of tulle in white on
delicate tints for evening wear have
twO-inch bands of velvet ribbon match
ing the tulle in color, drawn round the
center of the ruche, and tying in a stiff
little bow in front.
Boas of short cOque feathers are no
novelty, but they take on novelty this
fall because of the unusual color com
binations affected in them. Often two
cOlors and several shades of each will
be introduced, but there must be no
vivid contrasts, the cOlOrs used blending
harmoniously into each other so that at
a distance the effect is almost that of
one tone.
Of fur collars it is almost too soon to
speak, no genuine novelties having vet
been shown. The close collar already
mentioned in connection with feathers
and tulle is sure to be worn in fur and
condemned by physicians.
THIS is almost invariably true of the
short coat, and though the long,
limp coat appears to be having
things very much its own way. one does
see a few short models. The black
satin costume of the large sketch. for
example, model which has been re-
produced most successfully in velvet and
cloth and in cloth and silk mousseline
with satin accessories, shows a most
piquant little coat which would be
eminently becoming to some figures and
which preserves the slightly shortened
and the straight effect seen in
majority of the long coats.
The Directoire reveres and collar are
almost ubiquitous among these dressy
,oat and skirt models of American or
gin. but the Directoire characteristics
'ften end with this, and few of the
'ery best esigners are turning out
'scellent coats of the straight long
imp lines already noted.
