Preparing for the Census.

Over siXty-five thousand enumerators
will be engaged in the census work
next April, and supervisors will be pro-
vided in every congressional district.
These officials will be slected by the di-
rector of the census. but the appoint
ment of all other employees must be
through competitive civil service exam
nations. This arrangement will secure
force tested for efficiency, and will
prevent pressure upon congressman by
persons looking for census appoint
ments.
The census will embrace each state
and territory and District of Columbia
Hawaii, Alaska and Porto Rico. June
30. 1909, marks the beginning of what
Is known as the decennial census ne.
riod. The scope of the census will be
substantially the same as that of the
last one. Statistics of the number OF
employees out of employment at the
date of enumeration will be gathered
a new inquiry is provided to show the
nativity of foreign born persons OF
farms, and the acreage of farm wood
land and the character of the timber
will be obtained.-National Magazine.

THE APPEAL OF ROPER.

Coach Roper's appeal for more foot
ball mel from the student body, should
bring results. Last year, two men
made the team who had never played
football, except in a minor way before.
There are men i'll the University who
are capable of winning place on the
team if they will make the effort. The
team this year must be composed
largely of new men. Only a few OF
last years team are back and eligible
to play. There is certainly an excellent
opportunity for some one to win a
place. Roper needs tackle. There
should be ten new men fighting for the
place by the end OF the week. A stu

MAKE 1T HILL AND DOUGLAS.

The seniors OF the University of Mis-
souri,. who meet tonight to elect two
representatives to positions on the ath-
letic committee will do well to elect
W. S. Hill, senior in the School of En-
emeering. and Shannon Douglas, a SEN
ior in the School of Law. These men are
not only leaders in their departments,
but they also know athletics. No two
better representative men could be
picked from the student body for this
position. This year of all years, the
students in the University of Missouri
need representatives on the athletic
committee who will represent them.
The most important duty of the ath-
letic committee is to decide the eligi-
bility of candidates for the athletic
teams. The alumni of the University
have done their best to make this year
the successful one in Alissouri's athlet-
les. The faculty is also doing its best
to make it a successful year. 1t GER
tainly is up to the students to do their
best likewise, for the burden of the
struggle lies with them. The students
must furnish the spirit that is to de-
feat Kansas this year Only eleven can
play on the team, but two thousand
can support them. The right way to
begin is to elect two members to the
athletic committee who will represent
them in the true sense OF the word.
Make it Hill and Douglas.

When Eli met the Crimson,

The devious oriental play
OF Halfback Kou Chi Lee.
He never missed a signal,
As other halfbacks do.
Perhaps the explanation is,
He always had his queue.

And the bulldogs beef was beaten

Anger turned his visage pink.

But YOU cannot stop chink.'
The game was nearly ended
And neither team had scored,
When suddenly from out the fray,
An apparition scared.

Gamblers kissed their coin goodbye
For tricky Lee had won the day
Because he'd learned to fly.

city was complete, but the plumber
secured by the pirates was much
less than they had anticipated, as
a great deal had been hidden in
places of safety. But several yes
sells put to sea laden with proper
ty and with the kings treasure.
The amount of gold and treasure
secured was sufficient to load a
train of thirty-fVe donkeys, but
the pirates fell out among them
selves, and Morgan got only a
small amount of the spoil.
The present city of Panama was
built with a view to defense, but
the glory of old Panama was at
tanned by its successor. All the
old buildings and churches of Pan
anna were designed for use as forts
in case of need. Many of the
walls in these buildings are three
feet thick and have massive doors,
often iron-clad, with windows only
in the upper story, the windows
standing sixteen to twenty feet
from the ground. This precaution
saved the city from capture short
ly after its foundation by another
force of Buccaneers in which Capt.
Dampier took part.
Much of interest could be said
of the churches of Panama, many
of the older ones now being in
ruins. After visiting a few of
these old churches and viewing the
beautiful Bay of Panama from the
sea-wall, or fort, we proceeded to
re-cross the isthmus.
Balboa mountain, the most In
terestlng point between Panama
and Colon, is situated about six
miles from the railroad, and can
be seen from several stations along
the line, and, except when clothed
in cloud or rain, can always be
seen from our back veranda. 1t
is a fact that both the Atlantic and

value. The bread fruit is as large
