THE MUD TAN.

Just how much year does it cos
the farmer to have mud on his wag
on wheels? How much more effort
does it take for a team to pull load
o: corn through six miles of gumbC
that over six miles of smooth rock
roads? How many more times a
year does one have to visit the har-
ness shop when he drives over mud
roads than when he drives over
gravel?
How many farmers stop to cOnsid-
ci these questions when they are
asked to support a good roads
movement? The cost to the farm
err of driving through the mud is
more than his share of the interest
eli an improved roads investment.ln
other words, it costs him less to pay
the additional taxes caused by
bond issue than it does to keep up
his horses, wagons and harness when
re drives through the mud.

THE .DON'T WORRY CLUB"

Out in Kansas-so many things
happen out in kanSas-iS an editor
who started out to organize a
Don't Worry Club. The movement
proved so popular that it has spread
over the state of Kansas and prom
ises to gain national proportions.
The name of this editor is Edgar
Watson Howe-Ed Howe, they call
him out in Kansas. The idea isn't
at all original with Howe but he put
it into practice. which is great deal
larger service than the mere inven-
tion of the plan. If the members of
this club will just pay strict atten-
tion to their constitution and by
laws. which say don't worry, they
will reap incalculable benefit there
from.
Worry drives some women to
tears and some men to drink. 1t
turns dark locks gray and chalks
wrinkles and crows feet on your
face. 1t keeps mans nose to the
grindstone and his mind on his bank
account. 1t does all sorts of wicked
and unpleasant things.
There isn't any need of worry.
You don't have to join Ed HOwe's
Don't Worry Club" to find that out.
Worry never Strengthened out any
of life's tangles or turned wrong
into right or added any to the sum
total of human happiness.
Why worry?

LETTER FAILS TO SCARE HIM

Prosecuting Attorney Believes He
Knows Writer Of Note.
E. C. Anderson, prosecuting At
tOrney, says he knows who sent him
the unsigned letter yesterday from
Harrisburg which. by series of at
tempted drawings. refers to the at
torney as a twofaced man and worse.
Mr.. Anderson treats the letter some
what as a joke; however. he wants
an explanation.
IL know the man and if he does not
explain in a week | will solve the let
ter for myself" he said. Mr.. Ander-
son says that he prefers to keep the
name to himself, and that he got on
trial of the writer by some other let
tcrs of similar character that he had
written.
The letter is not threatening. but
rather a warning, and is mysterious
in it's meaning. 1t advises the attOr-
ney to get hold of my son and"
and warns him not to give way" the
writer.
The prosecuting attorney thinks
the man is demented.

What the Old Grads Saw
Twenty Years Ago.

A baseball game was played be
tween the University team and Cen
tral College of Fayette.
A baseball diamond was laid of
on Rollins Field, a dressing room
built for the members of the asso-
citation, and the grounds levelled off
all at a cost Of $500.
Thirty Years Ago.
There was a report that board had
gone up to IS and Sc in town. The
paper denies this, as it was afraid
students might be kept from coming
to the University. 1t is said that
$3.50, 81 and $3.50 was the price
of board.
Joseph Ficklin of the department
of mathematics at the University
published three textbooks on math-
ematics.
John J. Hayden. L. S. A.. a gradu-
ate of West Point, in 1876, was com
mandant of cadets at the University
of Missouri.
Forty Years Aga.
There was a battle of ink between
the Herald and the Statesman, the
two local papers.
The Medical Society of Boone
county held it's regular meeting in
Columbia.

A speech by James S. Rollins was

NOT THE TIME TO STOP.

Columbia is to have a. white way
Welcome the Improvement! But Co
lcmbia must not stop at the white
way. There are other streets than
Broadway and a brilliantly lighted
business section with other districts
poorly lighted is like a glossy new
hat and q rusty pair of shoes.
OF course, we may not be able to
afford it right now. We cannot dc
everything at once, but the "city
fathers" should bear the needs of
the residence sections in mind and
when the opportunity comes, Colum-
Liza should have brilliant electric
lights all over town.
There are few things that add
more to the appearance of a town
than electric lights. One dislikes to
have to grOpe his way home along a
dark street. To the man who is
perfectly sober, it seems like an i'm
position to have to do it.
Plenty of light is a glorious pos
session for any city. Columbia is
willing to strain a point in order to
get it.

Improvements to BE Made on Uni.
versity, High and Keyser Street.
People in the district on High
University and Keyser streets. who
have had to call at the pOstOfiice for
mail are combining in the movement
to grade Keyser avenue so that they
may derive the benefit of mail deliy-
cry service. Mail service has been
denied heretofore because of the con-
ditiOn of the block on Keyser just
east of HOckaday street. University
and High streets have been open but
postoffice officials have refused to
grant delivery service because of de-
partment regulations to the effect
that carriers are to avoid retracing
on their routes.
The people will not be required to
gravel the district in question. Grad
ing is all that is necessary. This
work will be done in the near future,
probably within the next two weeks.
Expenses will be paid by the resi-
dents in the entire district affected.

In reorganizing the Woman's Coun-

| would be more able to keep in touch
with the girls if Columbia were di-
vided into districts. A committee,
selected by the members of the cOun-

tricts. There are approximately fifty
girls to a district.
Each district will elect a captain,
also a sub-captain will be chosen for
those houses in which more than six
girls are rOOming. AS the two OBJ
jects of the WOman's Council are
first: self government; second, social
welfare of the women, the council are
expecting great results from this
change. In speaking of it today
