When You Go Home.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
The students at the University OF
Missouri have petitiored for an eyten-
sion of the two weeks Christmas holi-
days. The students ask for an addi-
tlonal vacation of fOur-hours. In
stead of having vacation begin at four
{ clock next Wednesday afternoon they
desire to be released at noon the same
day. This change would enable many
to depart on a lis O'Clock train and
in some instances this would mean a
day gained. Home a day sooner.
This shows whittier the thoughts of
some twenty-five hundred students
have wandered. In some instances the
freshmen's trunks have been packed
and repacked in their eagerness to
hurry the happy event. The older stu
dents who have gotten in the habit of
doing nothing today that they can do
tomorrow are in no such hurry but
they will be on hand when the trains
depart. Trust a college student to get
ready on short notice. The crowd that
departs that twenty-seond of Decem-
ber will be a happy one. None of the
tenseness and anxiety that marked the
pre-thanksgiving crowd will be mani
tested. The students are going to tell
about the victory not help to win it.
There will also be an element of
sadness in the departure Some stu
dents will not be able to 60 They

and fellow townsmen with no prospect
but two apparently cheerless weeks
before them. The people of Columbia
have always done everything in their
power for these students in the wav
OF entertainment, but that is never
Just like going home. To the stu
dent who is fortunate enough to have
enough money this situation is not so
plain. He is apt to forget the other
fellow. Even Christmas card from
MN VIII do much to promote the
Christmas spirit in his own heart.
Don't forget when you go home.

and more the leading corrupt activi-
ties are carried on by men of college
training.
1t was pointed out that men trained
in the highest principles in the insti-
tutions OF higher education left their
alma matters and left also the highest
morals and teachings they had received
there. 1t would be well for men in
the University OF Missouri to take a
lesson from Governor Hughes talk to
the men OF Yale. The education given
by the state IS not given for any
mans own selfish good but for the
good of the state and for the good
that man will be capable of doing for
the state and for humanity.

Try your hand at guessing this:
If at football fray
The rooters yelled for music,
What would the armband play?
Or if in batting you delight.
And baseballs mostly that.
I'll bet you couldn't figure out
What could an acrobat?

Have weathered many gales;
Now ii those vessels weathered'em,
Why can't the rummage sales?

BRUNER BACK
FROM ANTILLES
Hawaiian Coffee Compares Well
With Products of
Islands.

". ". Bruner of Hawaii, who re-
turned recently from a six months
visit to Porto Rico, Cuba and Mexico,
states that Hawaiian coffee compares
most favorably with the products Of
all three countries mentioned, but that
the only difficulty of production in
competition is from a labor stand
point. The increasing cost of labor
for coffee development in Hawaii is
the one serious bar to greater produc
ton. The market for Hawaiian cot
fee. he says, is always sure.
AS to Porto Rican coffee, Mr.. Bru-
ner states that it is the best after
dinner coffee that he has ever tasted.
There is no American market for this
coffee as yet, but it is mainly market
ed in Europe.
''It is strange" said Mr.. Bruner
yesterday, "that American consumers
do not consider the Porto Rican cot
fee as of the first grade. when in real
ity it is, and is SO considered in
Europe. The Porto Rican growers
should not worry about an American
market for their coffee, because they
can sell all they produce on the other
side.
F'In Mexico coffee is produced for
half what it costs in Hawaii. because
labor is SO cheap. The long distances
the coffee is transported across the
country would ordinarily spell big
bills. hut even transportation is low in
price"
Commenting on Porto Rico, Cuba
and Mexico, Mr.. Bruner said that the
appearance Of the seaport cities was
better than Honolulu. The streets
were better and everything in the pub
lie utilities line seemed to be main
tanned better. The local streets, he
said, were dusty in dry weather and
muddy in wet weather, conditions
which do not obtain in the countries
visited.

BEFORE WE CAN

use them, iron and gold must
first be got out of the ore. The
same principle applies to cod liv-
er oil. It's virtues are not in its
fatty matters ; much less in its
sickening taste and smell. No
consumptive, or sufferer from any
other wasting disease, was ever
greatly benefited by the so-called
''plain" cod liver oil. The shock
it gives to the nerves, the repul-
sion and disgust it excites in the
stomach, the outrages it commits
upon the senses of smell and
taste, are enough to spoil any
medicinal potency that may be
in it for the majority Of people.
This-to say nothing about its
being indigestible. Yet there
has always been reason to believe
that, among the elements which
form cod liver oil, there ex-
listed curative properties of the
highest value. But it was neces-
sary to separate them from the
nauseating waste material with
which they were combined. This
was successfully accomplished in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
and IN his efectiUe remedy,
made palatable as honey, we have
the very heart and soul of pure
Cod Liver Oil, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites, Extracts of Malt and Wild
Cherry These constitute tissue
builder, blood purifier, health
remover beyond comparison. Dis
ease yields to it with a complete
ness and rapidity which aston
ishes medical men quite as much
as it delights their patients. In
all wasting conditions, Scrofula
and Blood Disorders, La Grippe,
Influenza, etc., it never fails
to relieve and cure. Dr., E. J.
Boyes says: Il have found it a
preparation of great merit. In
a recent case a patient galrad
nearly twenty pounds in two
months treatment, in which it
was the principal remedial agent.
1t cannot fail or disappoint you.

Omaha, Dec. 29.-According to

second mysterious trip he has made
to that city in the last week. Two

car, and was TO be put through at
once TO Cheyenne in order to reach
that city Christmas day. The order
was carried out at the expense of
holding up the fast mail and attach
ing the car to that train. which has
never before carried a passenger.
Vanderbilt stayed in Cheyenne three
days. then took a fast train out and
flew east. A similar order arrived
today which stated the millionaire
would be here at O'clock tomorrow
and must be sent to Cheyenne with
all speed and rushed back again at
the end of three hours. Vanderbilt

Boston, Dec. 29.-The discovery
today of the wreck of the five masted
schooner Davis Palmer, which sank
with 12 men Sunday morning at the
entrance to Broad Sound, was fol-
lowed by the report of another wreck
in the outer harbor. This second
victim of the great storm that swept
New England Saturday night and
Sunday was reported by Captain
Kemp of the tug Ariel. who asserts
that he saw three masts of schoon-,
er projecting above the water near
the shoals known as ''the graves"
Although Captain Kemp locates the
vessel three miles east of the wreck
OF the Palmer, some marine authorf-
ties think that ne may have been
mistaken in his bearings and that he
say the Palmer's masts.
Seafaring men who believe the tug
boat captain is not mistaken about
his bearings are discussing the possi-
bility of a collision between the Palm
er and the unknown schooner.
Probably the last person to see the
Palmer before she sank was Captain
Sookamp of the barge Hopalong,
which docked at Lynn today from
Hoboken. He reported passing the
Palmer off Cape Cod late Christmas
afternoon. At that time the Palmer's
sailors were on deck singing and cel-
ebrating the holiday in true sea
fashion.
The schooner Ada X. Damon, sole
support of her aged master, Captain
\ X. Brewster, of York, Maine, went
ashore near Ipswich. she will prob
ably be a total loss. Her crew reach
ed shore safely.
In Chelsea, where tidal wave
broke the dyke and flooded the hous-
es of 1000 people. a high tide yester-
day opened two new breaks. Many
cellars that had been pumped out by
fire engines were again flooded. 1t
will be weeks before people in the
so acres of tide lands will be able to
return to their homes.
