BOWLING

The Electric league tourney bowls merrily
along with the teams and individuals show
ing a marked improvement. The Western
Electrics still lead, having strengthened
their position considerably. The Woodill-
Hulse improved their percentage by taking
four games from the Southern California.
The Westinghouse bunch held their own and
showed marked improvement. Myers still holds
down first place, Arbogast moved up into Sec
ond place and Burger took fourth place from
Runyan. Spring had high series for the week
with S51, and Splsbury high game, 2OS.
Among the individuals, Chairman Burger
shows the most improvement. Having started
with 144 average, he has increased it to 16O
Arbogast also shows class by increasing his
average from 155 to 16S The standings as
computed by Secretary Mackenzie as fol-

The attention of the country has
been arrested by the renewal on the
hustings in Kansas of the spectacular
contest between Speaker Cannon and
Victor Murdoch, the leader Of the
house insurgents. The bitterness of
the rivalry between these men reminds
one that there is one point at least
in which they meet on common ground.
Congressman Murdoch owns Waver-
ly electric and may be seen almost any

day in Washington riding in it with his
wife along the beautiful drives of the
national capital. AT the speakers
home in Danville a Waverly electric
is also used by members of the Cannon
family.
These facts suggest that the antago-
nism between the two men may be
more accidental than real. At bottom
there is probably much resemblance
between their likes and dislikes and
between the motives that govern them.

Kodak the God of Mischance.

Photographs, the snayshop variety,
are matter which most people, be
lieve to be managed by a malicious
god-and really there is no other way
of explaining the caricatures most
snapshots are. If there isn't ia
tally that makes the kodak invaria-
bly, catch people at their worst, why
is it that the bride entering the car
riage after the ceremony is sure to be
snapped with one foot so prominent
that it dwarfs all the rest of her per-
son? What makes the peripatetic
photographer always get the million
aire coming home from church ,.on
Sunday at a moment when the sun is
making him screw up his face? What
chance. is it that without lail groups
a duke and his American fiancees SO
that the latter appears about a foot
the taller? j
Why, indeed, unless there is a god
of mischance and he is concentrating
on the kodak?-New York Tribune.

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.

The action of the two great polltl-
cal parties in Jefferson City today
unanimously endorsing 1.-The principle
of providing separate and permanent
fund for the support of the Univer-
sity, the College of Agriculture, the
School of Mines, and its other de-
partments," helps materially toward
carrying the mill-tax amendment. The
form in which the endorsement was
given is most effective and will make
it of both immediate and permanent
value. 1t is the greatest achievement
in behalf of the University of Mis-
souri, since the day President Hill de-
cided for Missouri against Minnesota.
And it is prophecy of greater things
to come.

for appointing curators of different
political faiths, named members of
the two great parties upon the board
of curators, thus aiding materially in
taking the University out of politics.
1t was David R. Francis who. as
governor, when the old University was
burned, called a special session of the
legislature and, by his own person
ality, forced through a bill relocating
the University at Columbia and pro-
viding for it's rebuilding here. Except
for David r. Francis, the University
and the Agricultural College would
have been separated, wrecked, and
removed from this town.
For these and other reasons-and
because Boone county and Columbia
have never been wanting in gratitude
and in appreciation of high public ser
vice-David R. Francis, whether can
didate or private citizen, deserves and
will receive welcome and large thanks
from the good people of old Boone.

WHAT TWO SISTERS DID
Beginning With Nothing, They Can
| Retire Now With a Fortune,

Two sisters faced the problem of
|self-support. They had never earned
money. One got place in a big
book bindery, and the other became a
sewer in a furrier's establishment.
The bindery was not only large, but
growing rapidly. Starting in as a
piece worker, the first sister devel.
oped such speed that slower hands
feared she would be instrumental in
cutting wages. For the sake of peace
the proprietor made her forewoman
at SIS a week, with the prospect of
steady increases if she showed ability
to manage. Within year the second
sister left the furrier's and came into
the bindery too, and within three
years the whole management of EN-
ployees was divided between them,
| their combined earnings amounting to
$40 a week.
By living together and economic.
ing they managed to save about half
| OF their wages, putting away thou
sand dollars year. The growth of
the bindery business kept them al
work so constantly that they had no
time to spend money foolishly. The
proprietor appreciated their services
and increased their wages from time
to time, until finally, less than seven
years after setting out to look for
Occupation, they had $4,000 in cash.
At this point it became necessary
to make some provision for their par.
ents, who were getting old and had
hardly any income. On the advice
of their employer they purchased a
stone front residence in a good neigh.
borhood. 1t had cost, with iand, fully
$4,000, but could be bought for half
that sum, because of the owners need
for quick sale. Their $1,000 was
paid down upon it, and the employer
became surety for the remainder. Nov
| ing into the ground floor they rented
the upper apartments, and their par,
ents kept house and looked after the
property.
Since then, matter of ten years,
they have paid off the debt, have ST.
600 in the bank, and the property, in
addition to being worth $4,000, brings
income sufficient to enable them to
retire whenever they want to.-Satur-
day Evening Post.

OPEN WINDOWS ON ZERO DAYS
Remarkable Results With HeatIess
School Rooms in Chicago.


School Rooms in Chicago.
The Chicago educational system has
originated new verb-"to humidity" /"
The meaning is simple; all hot air,
before entering the schoolroom, is
passed through jets of water or of
steam. 1t now picks up its mois-
ture in "humidifying" chambers in
the basement, instead of in the
throats and nasal passages of the chill
dren and teachers.
Principal Watt, head of one of the
schools in the stock yards district,
has gone even further. In the lower
grades Of his school he began the ex-
pertinent, last winter, of abolishing
heat altogether. In these rooms he
has adopted new educational motto:
LESS instruction and more oxygen"
In keeping with this, these little chill.
dren no longer sit at desks, with fold
ed hands. The desks have been re-
moved, kindergarten chairs have been
brought in, and the pupils given the
utmost freedom of movement. In
cold winter weather they wear their
wraps and hats-and these are their
only source of heat. In zero weather,
they sit at their table in front of
open, "drafty" windows. Their fingers
do not get so numb that they cannot
write on the blackboards and physi-
cal discomfort is unknown.
One day last winter when the ther-
mometer registered 10 below zero, a
woman school visitor came into one
of these cold rooms. She was horri-
fed at what she described as "cruel-
ty." But the children simply grinned.
They enjoy the change immensely
and have nicknamed the old hot-air
place the hospital rooms" because
There are so many sick children in
them. The parents likewise are eu-
thusiastic.
There are reasons in plenty for this
attitude. Colds, glandular troubles,
the normal affliction of school life,
have cirtually disappeared, and the
mentality of the children has respond
ed to the change. By Christmas prac.
tically all of the children in the cold
air rooms had finished their years
work! They were learning to read
and write almost unconsciously. And
the teachers who had previously been
irritable, listless, respondent, sick of
life and sick of eaching, had regained
their early zeal.-Burton ]. Hendrick

A GIRL OF SIXTEEN breaches
Little Miss Bevan of Wales Will Tour
America This Winter.

America ThiS winter.
Miss Maggie Bevan, the girl preach
er, who has come from Wales for a
fifteen weeks preaching tour of this
country, spoke the other night at the
First Welsh Presbyterian Church. Six
teen years old, unusually sturdy for
her age and possessed of marked abil-
Hity as an elocutionist, the girl ad-
dressed an audience of 600 persons
without exhibiting the least embar-
rassment. ......
After the services she spoke of her
experiences in the pulpit, and, in a
wistful way, told of her earlier ambi-
tions. $50.

would recite various pieces. Then
one day our minister came to me and
said. Maggie. God has given you a
great gift, are you going to give it
back to him?' l thought over that a
long time, and finally decided to de-
vote my life to preaching"
Miss Bevan has very decided views
upon the question Of woman suffrage,
although she has hardly attained an
age as yet at which she can take an
active interest in the matter. She
said she believed girl should stay
at home and cook and sew, and any
how the women suffrage movement
was dying out over there, and she
was glad of it.
I'm regular tomboy. she confess
ed. play football with my brothers
at home, and l like to ride bicycle.
l can play marbles and cricket, too.
Then, also, l like to climb the noun
tains."
When asked whether the coming
tour, during which time she will
preach at least once a day, will not
be too wearing, Miss Bevan said she
thought not, as at home she once
preached fourteen sermons in seven
days. In appearance she is short and
stocky. She is quite pretty, her fea-
lures having decided Welsh cast.
In spite of her sturdy build, however,
she seemed completely exhausted af-
ter her address. She seemed to throw
her whole energy into her voice as
she talked, and as a result was much
fatigued.
I'm not taking mans work. abe
said. Women were ths best friends
Jesus Christ ever had. If women can
sin, why cannot they preach, too?
If my health holds out l want to go
into the mission field in India, but
mother won't listen to this. She is
perfectly willing to have ms preach as
/ am doing now, but won't hear to
me going to India to work among the
people there"
Mrs Bevan is with her daughter
on this trip. Last night she accom-
panied her upon the piano when she
sang. The father is a .jeweler at
Caerphilly, Wales. The girl has
preached all over Great Britain, and
her success being so great she has
come to this country to speak under
the auspices, of the American Baptist
Union.-Philadslp Public Ledger.

MORE LIGHT
to come.

The voting of the bond issue on
September 27th-keep that date in
your mind, please-will make it pos
sible to have more and better light
In Columbia. The machinery of the
city plant is not large enough to sup
ply more light nor can it maintain
at full power all the time the lights
already in use. In consequence in the
early evening, when the lights are
most in use and are most needed, they
are not of high Illuminating power.
Anyone ;who remembers the light con-
ditions existing last winter will know
what to expect next winter. 1t would
be nothing less than criminal to ex-
pose the town to the results which
follow poor light. Better, far better,
abolish the electric light altogether
than use it in way that ruins the
eyesight.
The addition of machinery neces-
sary to supply Columbia with good
light and plenty of it-in the outlying
districts as well as down town-is de.
pendent upon the towns providing
more money for the equipment of the
plant.
Voting Yes is voting for more light

which We go on our way to Jerusalem.
In many places there is nothing but
rocks, which are laid up in such ways
as to make one think they were con-
structed by man. The limestone strata
are piled stone upon Stone, looking like
mighty monuments rising from the hills
In some places whole mountains are

of grass and red peoples.
In the Footsteps of Samson.
The railway winds its way in and out.
1t crawls along the side of the mount
aims with horseshoe curves here and
there. The whole journey is over historic
ground. Much of it is in the footsteps
of Samson. We cross the plains where
he fought with the Philistines, Staying a
thousand of them with the jawbone of
an ass. We see the place where he tied
the firebrands to the tails of 800 foxes
and let them loose to burn up the har-
vest. A little farther on we enter the
valley of SOrek, where the wicked De-
lilah cut off the hair of the strong man
as he lap asleep in her lap, and away ND
on the side of the hill we can see the
town OF Zorah, where Samson was born.
At the station of DER Aban. where
Samuel raised his Ebenezer, crowd of
children come to the trains with bou-
quets of wild flowers. The boys whine

there may not be an infant Samson
amongst them.
1t was in Zorah that Samson was
buried, and the guides here will show
you his tomb. Farther along the road
We pass through great gorge in the
chffs, on the meth side of which. near

The Excavations at Gezer.
In our ride up to Jerusalem we go by
the ancient city of Gezer. 1t is marked
by a mound which has several build
ings upon it, including the dome of
Mohammedan mosque. The ground
about it has been dug over and over,
and the ruins discovered have excited
the religious and scientific world.
The excavations which have been
made by the Palestine exploration fund
show Gezer to be one of the Oldest if
not the oldest, city of history. The
scientists have gone down into the
earth, finding one city built upon the
ruins Of another down to the sew
enth city or settlement, which seems to
have been occupied by the cave dwell
ers Of the flint or stone age, a period
before history began to be written
In these cave dwellings pottery and
flint instruments were discovered. A
burial place of that ancient race was
opened up and remains found which
