EDISoN'S NEW FORCE

Thomas A. Edison, the inventor.
says he is tired of electricity. Elec-
tricity is. he says, great, terrible,
and unknown force. No one knows
what it is Mr.. Edison wishes TO dis
cover a new force and apply it in the
same way as electricity has been ap-
piled. The latter force has several
drawbacks which he hopes will not be
present in some other manifestation
OF energy.
When Mr. Edison believes in the ex-
istence of some force unknown to the
world and endeavors to find out about
it, we can expect new discoveries at
any time. Had some one predicted
some of the inventions of Mr. Edison
fifty years ago, the person making the
prediction would have been regarded
as fit subject for the insane asylum.
Who. fifty years ago would have
dreamed of reproducing sounds as
they are reproduced now by the phon-
ograph?
Other men besides Mr. Edison
have accomplished marvels. Wireless
telegraphy is still new to the world.
Nearly all of us can remember the
first successful tests of the new sys.

President Hill and the University.
For more than year the University
of Minnesota held vacant its position
of president in the hope that President
A. Ross Hill of the State University
of Missouri would accept it's offer of
presidency. The Minnesota school
pays much larger salary than that
paid by the Missouri school. Mime
sofa supports its university more gen-
erously than Missouri provides for it's
University. But Doctor Hill stayed
by Missouri, because he loved the in
stitution. which had honored him and
which he had served. and because he
knew that there was no finer field
anywhere for true university work
than here in Missouri, if only the
people will realize the value OF the
University to themselves. Doctor
Hill is one Of the shining exemplars OF
the new university spirit-the spirit
that has enabled the University OF
Wisconsin to be of such immense
value to all the people of that state
1t is hoped for the sake of Missouri
itself that the state will support
Doctor Hill by making investments in
a university that can return to IT'S
people many times the value of the
money they put into it.-Kansas CITY

BLOW THE WHISTLE.

Some Of the citizens of Columbia
want the blowing of the fire whistle
which was prohibited several months
ago, TO be resumed. These citizens
feel that their property would be in
less danger if there were some means
of notifying those who would be of
service in putting out the fire and
moving the contents from the burning
building. Considering both sides of
the question. it seems that more is
to be gained than lost by blowing the
whistle.
That the fire whistle inconveniences
the telephone company temporarily. is
not sufficient reason for abandoning
it. If the blowing OF the whistle is
a safeguard to the property of the
town, it should be resumed.

made was cut from the apron log of
a milldam which was built on Peno
creek. Pike county. in 1914 The mill
was first built north of the Missouri

haunted, and that no fish will live in

Then romance took hand in the
history of the old mill 1t is said that
a beautiful Indian maiden who lived
near the old dam site fell in love with
