Newspaper War.

VOLUMBIA, Mo-, Oct. S.-A news
paper war of the most virulent kind
has broken out at the University Of
Missouri between the supporters OF
the Daily Missourian, the publication
of the new School of Journalism, and
the Sunday Independent, a student
publication. The daily paper is under
the management of Walter Williams
head of the journalistic school of the
university, and his conduct of the
sheet aroused the animosity of some
of the students. The disgruntled ones
started an opposition sheet, and while
it is a weekly, it's appearance on Sun
day mornings enables it to scoop the
daily paper by giving it the first re-
ports of important football games and
other athletic contests, most of which
are held on Saturday, too late for the
Daily Missourian to cover.

Then back again. the filled boxes are taken to the depot for ship ment.
 So great is the acreage and so large the crop on every ranch that even the wives and daughters are pressed into service and assist with the packing. The design on the box es is quite neat and as they reach many far-off eastern cities it will be to the residents but one more proof Of what may be accomplished in this great Salt River valley when there is given industry. intelligence and the necessary supply Of water.

 The interest in the consolidation of

 the proposition is so absolutely unfair

 Even If all the residents of both dis tricts petitioned to consolidate, the case would only look worse. The un- fairness of the thing is not so much
 what concerns the taxpayers of either
 district. as are the small children who
 would be punished for the foolishness
 of such action. In most instances now
 days only small children attend the country schools, going to city schools
 after completing the eighth grade. and
 they should, for then they have
 chance to learn of other peoples ways, and to get ideas a little broader than
 the home corral and mothers kitchen. Don't curtail the cOnveniences of the
 small school children, fix up the school houses and build them closer together
 rather than make the distances great
