More Money for University.

Springfield, Mo-, Republican,: It
seems very probable that the people
will vote on the proposed amendment
to the state constitution providing for
q special tax for the maintenance of
Missouri University. 1t is also Prob
able that the amendment will prevail
at the polls. 1t should succeed, for
the.state University needs more money
with which to carry on its work, and
needs to get it from more certain
source than legislative appropriations.
The latter must be constantly striven
for. Uncertainty as to their amount
and when they will be available usu-
ally exists during long periods, and
an influence for i'll thus results to the
schools interests.
Missouri has never spent enough
money on her educational institutions
from the tiny country school at the
crossroads to the noble institution at
Columbia, all feel too frequently the
crampfng Of efforts which low finances
cause. 1t is not easy to decide how
much more money Missouri schools
should have, for they have never at
any time been given 80 much that the
people could Just how near to ade-
1quacy the funds provided had ap-
lproached.
Perhaps the sum which should be
devoted to education in this state
is greater than Missouri could posi-
IDLY afford. That does not seem prob
able, but the case may be supposed.
Then it may be said, however, that
a vast sum over and above the pres
emit provision could be supplied before
that point would be reached by this
state of wondrous wealth.

Thirty Girls Not Fraternity Maids.
YORK, Pa, Sept. 23.-The initiation
of 80 young Clio girls who had recent
ly become members was nipped in the
bud by Prof. C. B. Pennypacker, prin-
cipal of the High School, just as the
girls had prepared for the initiation.
The girls felt the disappointment very
keenly, but did not revolt. The re-
cent hazing by the Alpha Debating
Society of ten of their members was
probably responsible for the action of
the Professor.

.NOSTuDfhT ACTIVITY
TICKETS THIS YEAR
Athletic Committee Decides
the Plan Is improbable
at Present.
AFFECTS MANY INTERESTS
Difficult to Figure Opponent
Half Of Gate Receipts,
They Believe.

? There will be no student activity
season tickets issued this fall by the
University of Missouri, according to
the action taken by the athletic board
at its last meeting. The plan was
adopted by the students last year at
a mass meeting, and the athletic beard
favored the plan, but because of sew
eral complications that have arisen
since then, the board decided that
the plan should be abandoned, this
fall at least. The action of the board
is explained in this letter to the Uni
versity Missourian from the athletic
board:
1.-THE question of the student activ-
ity ticket has been discussed for some
time and last year. two committees
were appointed. one representing the
student body and the other the COM
mittee on intercollegiate Athletics Of
the University for the purpose Of for
mulating some plan for carrying out
the ISSUANCE of the student activity
ticket. Several joint meetings were
held and it was decided unanimously
that it was desirable to have such a
ticket.
"a mass meeting of students was
therefore held in the auditorium to-
wards the end OF the session, at which
the matter was presented and the
students voted favorably upon the
proposition. The Athletic Committee
does not at present feel able to put
the plan into effect, and takes this
means Of explaining to the student
body its position in the matter.
I'm the first place there Is hardly
time between now and the first foot
ball game. which occurs September 30
to perfect the details of plan which
affects SO many different interests. 1t
is uncertain how many games Of bas-
ket ball and baseball will be played
in the session, and furthermore the
whole question, Of intercollegiate ath-
letics probably will be taken up by a
conference of presidents and govern
Ing boards of the Missouri Valley Con
ference colleges at a meeting to be
held this winter.
again, the present arrangement for
handling the athletics of the Univer
sity is temporary as a new director
will take charge here January 1. I,
is thought better therefore to wait
until the arrival Of the new director
and make plans that can be perma
nently continued. Further, practi
cal difficulty that would be trouble
some this year in arranging for stu
dent activity ticket is that in the foot
ball games to be played this fall IL
Columbia settlement is to be mad
on the basis of giving our opponent
fifteen per cent of the gross gate re
ceipts.
/ with the student activity tickeI
it is practically impossible to calcr
late what sum would in any game b
due our opponents. The Athletic Con
| mittee, therefore, has decided to sci
season tickets for the football seasol
alone. giving purchasers $500 tickle
for $3.50. The schedule includes fiv
games, three of which are champion
ship games, namely. those of lowe

Two Kinds Of Farming.

b There is difference in farming just
as in other callings. One man plants
corn and cultivates it in the old in
different ways and gets twenty or
thirty bushels to the acre. Another
man. using fertilizers and up-to-date
methods, produces eighty to 100 bush
els on the same character of land.
The moral of this is that the land Is
all right when the man is all right

BURIED TREASURE TALE
EXCITES VILLAGERS
Digging on Missouri Farm Fol-
lows Rumor

quest for treasure trove has con-
verted the prosaic village of Baldwin,
st. Louis county, Mo, into a seat of ad-
venture and romance according to the
St. Louis Post -Dispa tch.
A local myth concerning hidden
wealth, which has been gaining popu-
larity for five years, has been as good
as substantiated, in the opinion of the
oldest inhabitant, and many others are
of his persuasion.
The farm upon which the treasure is
supposed to be concealed belongs to
Mrs Celia Doherty. She bought the
farm from the late John Calvin, of
whose estate the heirs say $4,000 in
cash has never been found. The ru-
mored disappearance of this sum en-
abled the mythologists to say more con-
vincingly than ever, Il told you So
Five years ago Bob Purdy was saw
ing down a tree on Galvin's farm, when
his instrument struck something metal
lie. Several teeth were missing when
the saw was removed. Purdy hacked
away with an AK until he found an iron
rod imbedded in the tree.
What was more reasonable than that
some Captain Kidd had chosen this
method of marking and at. the same
time eoncealing treasure which he had
buried2 Purdy was of this opinion and
grubbed for days about the roots of
the tree, but found little other than
earthworms and beetles.

SHEEP AND GOAT SKINS
FROM AFRICAN FLOCKS
Millions Are Gathered and Ex-
ported From Alden

The following report by Consul
Charles X. Moser of Alden is the result
of a visit to Somaliland, and the facts
therein given were supplied by Alden
dealers and by British officials in So
maitland:
The collecting and reshipping of
sheep and goat skins form the largest
part of the export trade of Alden, the
exports for the last two years being as
follows: In 19O7-S, 6.566,000 skins, and
in 190S9 10000 skins.
OF these something over 100000
skins came from British Somaliland.
Berbera and Bulhar alone shipping
1,360,0sS skins in single year. The
rest are brought to Alden by caravan or
in native dhows from the Yemen and
the Arabian interior: from Erithrea,
Abyssinia and Abyssinian Somaliland;
from Jibuti, the Italian Somaliland
coast and from as far south as Nom
basa- Until recently the bulk of these
skins was shipped from Alden direct
to the United States, but now great
many are going to France, and still
greater numbers are being sent to
Hamburg or Liverpool and London.
The method of collecting and
handling skins in British Somaliland is
fairly representative of the methods
employed elsewhere, save that it is
most systematic in that protectorate.
Every native who kills one of his flock
skins it carefully, after the manner pc
culiar to his people, and lets the skin
dry to a f1int1ike hardness in the hot
sun. caravan trader comes to his
hut, examines the skins with the eye
of an expert, and buys them for the
least he can. The skins are bundled
into scores and carried by camel route
to the nearest port where the local
dealers and agents of Alden firms re-ex-
anime them and buy them en- bloc.
To ship bale of skins, six to eight
score, the following expenses are in

MT. ARAFAT SUPPOSED TO
BE ARK'S RESTING PLACE
Pilgrims Pay Tribute to- Noah
i'm Mountain Shrine

The region of Mount Ararat and ira
ditions which still keep alive the story
of the ark having restedthere were de-
scribed in lecture given in London
before the royal geographical society
by Captain Betram Dickson, who made
series of journeys to the neighbor-
hood while British military consul at
Van, says the Washington Star.
The country east of the Tigris, he
said, was known to the ancient Assyri-
ans as the mountains of Nairi and at
other times the Nipnates and the noun
tains of Urartu, from which comes the
name Ararat.
The bible historian took the account
of the ark resting on Ararat from the
Chaldean legend which made it rest
on the mountains of Urartu. Local ira
ditions, Christians, Moslem and Zesidi
Cor devil worshipers) alike, made it's
resting place Jebel Judi, a striking
sheer rock wall of 1000 feet which
crowns over Mesopotamia.
Common sense also suggested that
with a subsiding flood in the plains a
boat would more probably run aground
on the high ridge at the end of the
plain rather than on a solitary peak,
miles from the plains, with many high
ridges intervening. The lecturer thought
himself that local traditions had the
greater element of possibility.
There is large Ziarat (Zijgurat or
sanctuary at the top of Jebel Judi,
where every year in August is held a
great fete. attended by thousands of
energatic Moslems. Christians and
Yezidis, who climb the steepest of trails
for 1000 feet in the terrific summer s
heat to do homage to Noah. %
This mountain seems to have been
held sacred at all times, and certainly
it has a wonderful fascination about
1t, with it's huge precipices and jagged,
tangled crags watching over the vast

PEOPLE OF AUSTRALASIA
GREATEST TEA DRINKERS
Consume Seven Pounds Per
Person Annually

The figures showing the amount of
tea annually consumed per head of the
population indicate that the tea drink
ers Of Great Britain must give way to
those of Australasia. who use no less
than IL pounds per person every year.
says the Westminster Gazette In
the United Kingdom the amount is
about a pound less-namely, sos
pounds per head. and then we have

In Natal? Next to Ceylon and India
Natal is by far the most important tea
producing colony Of the British en-
Dine. says the article and the industry
is one Of considerable value.
The most productive tea gardens are
at an elevation Of about 1000 feet, the
land at this altitude being generally of
an undulating character, well watered
and the climate sufficiently humid to
encourage leaf production. The pluck
ing season commences in September
and lasts until the following June, dur
ing which period each bush is picked
about 16 times.

WHOLESALE OPTICIANS
EXPOSE FAKERS' TRICKS
Bargain i'm Eyeglasses Proves
Part of Deception

Warning letters are going out from
optical firms in the wholesale district
and from officers of optical associations
against a number of travelling opt1-
clans who Offers to sell 50 gold eye
glasses for ST. says the New York
Times. These men open stores in one
city or town after another. generally
remaining. in a place from two TO six
weeks.
Big signs announcing the bargains IN
eyeglasses and spectacles draw crowds
The trick as described is to tell each
customer that his case is a little pc
culiar or different from the ordinary
So as to require specially grd
lenses, instead of the s5 glasses for
ST. BY this deception the iunerant
optician succeeds in getting exorbftant
prices, often from $40 to $50. when
an ordinary optician would charge
about s5.
When he finds town getting too
unfriendly to him because of the com
plants of dissatisfied customers the
optfcian closes his store over night,
takes away everything of value, leaves
a lot of unpaid local bills, and goes
to the next stopping place, where he
begins all over again under a new
name.
Wholesale dealers have received COM
plants from numerous towns. especially
in Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania. Illinois and Ohio. These COM
plants indicate that, while the takers
use the same methods. each travels
through separate territory, as if by
agreement.
