For High School Boys To
Eat Lunch

ed By Students

The boys department OF the Young
Mems Christian Association discover
ed that there were large number of
pupils in the High school from the
country who are going to and from
home every day, carrying their lunch
for the noon meal and for this reason
felt that they saw an opportunity for
service. All of these young men were
asked to take lunch Tuesday as guests
of the boys department and as
result 26 of them were on hand at
the appointed hour. Chairman Taylor
put up to them the proposition of their
bringing their lunch to the rooms on
their way to school and returning at
the noon hour to eat the same, this to
apply to all irrespective of member
ship in the association. 1t took only
about two minutes for the boys to
elect Thomas VanVoorhis steward of
what they chose to call "The Coun-
try Club" A comfortable room, pro
vided with table, chairs and drink
glasses are furnished by the associa-
tion and all that the bays have to do
is to look after the care of the room
and conduct the affairs of the club
to the satisfaction of the boys de-
partment committee. A most hearty
invitation is extended, to every High
school man, who carries his lunch, to
become member of this club. There
are town boys as well as those living
out of the city who are carrying their
lunch and this arrangement applies to
them as we'll There is absolutely
no expense to the young men in this
they not even having to be members
of the Y. M. G. A. In addition to this
the association is arranging a noon
hour schedule for those who care to be-
are, of the association. There will be
light, recreative games, calling for
such play as will be stimulus to the
boys for the afternoons work, no
heavy work being attempted at this
time. Mr. Taylor would be glad to
have the cooperation Of the parents
in making this feature Of the greatest
service to their boys. In addition to
the regular club features, the read

His Hand

Charles, the small son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Miller, residing at the

which had been dropped by workmen,
who had been blasting in the stone
quarries. Taking the cap to a fence

only few blows had been administ.

Most Severely While Driving
Cattle
Charles Donaldson Rendered
Unconscious

Charles Donaldson, a stock buyer
residing near Martinsburg, was the
victim of a very unfortunate accident
while at work Wednesday morning at
about $50 o'clock. Mr.. Donaldson
was driving a number of cattle to Uti-
ca where they were were to be loaded
into a car for shipment when the acci-
dent happened. The cattle began to run
and thinking that a stampede might
take place, he increased the pace of
his horse which he was riding. One
of the the rearmost of the cattle fell
to the road and Donaldson's horse
stumbled and fell over it, throwing it's
rider to the ground with great force
The man alighted on his left side, dis
locating his shoulder and rendering
him unconscious. A man, passing
along the road shortly afterward,
found him lying in the middle of the
road in state of Inconsistencies.
He was placed in the buggy and taken
to Martinsburg, where Drs. w. E. and
j. F. Shrontz reduced the dislocation
and rendered other necessary atten-
tion. Donaldson was taken to his
home after his injuries had been at
tended to, and it is not thought that
the result of the accident will prove
serious.

REACHING THE PEOPLE.

The College of Agriculture, with the
help of various railroads, is taking the
university to the people. Its special
trains travel over the state and reach
thousands of persons who otherwise
would not come in contact with the
university or with any of its features.
The same is true of its back to the
farm" courses in the two large cities.
Such methods as these have two
fold value. They educate the people,
and create an interest in the univer-
sity. Just as soon as the people of
Missouri find that the university eX-
lists for all the people and not alone
the few who are fortunate enough to
regularly enroll in it, they will give
it permanent, fixed support.
Such methods as are used by the
College of Agriculture are sure to re-
suit in good for the state and the
university.

FOR MORE SONG BIRDS.

Who has not awakened on one of

tened to the carolings Of the birds
glad heralds of approaching spring,
fresh from the Southland? And who
has not felt JOY and inspiration from
their song, a stimulation, livelier in
terest in life and its privileges and
problems? If there be such a one, he
is in need of sympathy.
The birds and their sweet notes are
a part-an important part-in natures
scheme for the happiness of mankind.
1t is proposed to devote a part of the
fees paid for hunting licenses in Mis-
souri, to Introducing new song birds
into the state. 1t is commendable
plan, truly one which would bring
pleasure to everyone whose senses are
alive to natures charms and whose
heart may be touched by her songsters.

WHY YOUR MAIL is LATE
Poor Service On the Wabash Cause
of the Delay.

If you do not get your st. Louis
or Kansas City papers until they are
two or three days old, don't blame
the post office employees. It's not the
fault of the postal service in Colum-
bia. Blame the Wabash railroad COM
pany.
For the last month, the Wabash
train, which is supposed to arrive in
Columbia at 1:20 o'clock in the after
noon. has either been late or has
failed to make connections with
trains on the main line at Centralia.
For this reason the mail is left over
at Centrala until it is brought down
by the 8 o'clock train in the afternoon.
The railroads are allowed twenty
minutes to bring the mail from the
station to the post office. This makes
the mail arrive at the office at about
3:2O o'clock, which is too late for the
last delivery in the residence dis
tricts. A delivery is made to the
business district at 4:30 o'clock.
The government has no contract
with the railroads to deliver the mail
at the office at certain time, except
to and from the railroad station.
E. A. Remley, postmaster at Co
lumbia, says he has tried in every way
to get better mail service over the
Wabash but that the company has not
made any improvement. Mr.. Remley
recently shortened the mail service
to Chicago by about twelve hours by
having it sent direct over the Chicago
and Alton from Centralia, instead of
sending it by way of St. Louis over
the Wabash.

CORN AND BEANS VS.. HOMINY
Stephens College Juniors Debate as to
Relative Merits.

! Which diet-corn and beans, or hon.
! my and potatoes, is the best for 4
! boarding school girl?
| The question was debated in the
! Stephens College auditorium last Sat
/ urday night. The debate was fea-
/ ture of the first junior stunt at Steph-
ems College this year. The debate was
between Mr.. Jonsing and Mr. Snow
ball, negro minstrels in the stunt, who
off the stage are Miss Cleo Wilson and
Miss Elizabeth Hertig
Both sides used as their strongest
argument the fact that the foods which
they favored could be prepared in
so many different ways that they
could be utilized for every meal served
in boarding school. Both sides de-
bated so ably that the judges rendered
no decision, but decided to continue
the use of all four-corn and beans,
and hominy and potatoes-in the
boarding school menu.
All of the juniors took part in the
stunt, Miss Eva Ratcliff, Miss Cleo !
Wilson, Miss Mary Badgett, and Miss
Elizabeth Hertig were minstrels. The |
other juniors were dressed in colonial
costumes. Some of them sang songs
composed by the students. The jun
iors at Stephens College usually give
two or three stunts each year. They
may give the stunt of last Saturday
night before the public in about
week.
