While few spectators. wearing

the score of to l.
Few of the men knew much about
the details OF the game. but they man
aged TO have good time as well as
to make it exciting. Al first many
could not even kick the ball straight,
hut later in the game some team
work was developed.
The game yesterday was an expert
ment by T. L. Jones, instructor in
athletics. to find ont the possibilities
of introducing succer football at
| tho University of Missouri. After the
practice he expressed himself as
| pleased with the showing of the men
as well as with the interest they took
in the sport. The men liked the game,
but all agreed that much more work
| IS needed before they can make it
| interesting to hte spectator.
Mr.. Jones expects to organize de.
partment teams and arrange series
of games similar to those played in
other branches of sport. Then if some
material is developed it is possible
that some games with other schools
will be scheduled. Westminster Col
lege. of Fulton, Mo-. has already asked

WHO swEARs COUNTY OFFICERS?
County Clerk, Who Holds Office One
Day Longer, to Give Oath.

When all the county officers and
the circuit judge are TO be sworn in
at the same time. and these officers
are the only ones eligible 10 admin
lister the oath Of office. who swcars
in the first one? This is question
which has been troubling the county
officers of Boone county for some
time. 1t was solved today.
The officers who will have the oath
of Office administered to them January
2, are the circuit Judge, circuit clerk
county clerk, prosecuting attorney
recorder, and probate judge. As
January l comes this year on Sun
day and that is the day on which
the officials now in Office are super
coded. it has been a puzzle who would
be the first to administer the oath
to one of the others so that all in
turn could be sworn in.
The solution to the problem WAS
found when it was discovered that
while all the other officers went out
Of office January /, or Sunday. rhe
county clerk held over until the first
Monday in January. This difference
n wording of the law enables John
H. Henry. county clerk, to swear in

were reelected. Then one of them
will swear him i'll for another term.

1.-TWO days and nights crept slowly
into the past, and now the
white people Of the chateau had
~ come to the eve of their last
days stay on the island Of Japat. The
probationary period would expire with
the sun on the following day, the an
niversary of the death of Taswel
