rectly contrary to the law Of South

Haney in a suit brought by the Nit

for the purpose Of preventing any

resolution was wholly without war

NOT ENOUGH CURE.

Columbia needs to do something
more than simply study fire pre-
yention. The Commercial Club has
ade a good move in arranging for
meeting of insurance men. They
are experts and will be able to sug-
gest the elimination of many possible
fire causes.
This is something which Columbia
needs for her own good, but it is not
all she requires along this line.
However careful she may be in pre-
venting fires, they still will persist
in breaking out.
The old saying that an ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure
still applies, but it is well to have
an adequate amount of cure on hand
in case it is needed.

ANOTHER HOSPITALITY TEST.

Few Missouri cities of Columbia $
size are called upon to act as hostess
as often as she is. The University
and other schools bring many con-
yentions and gatherings. One of the
most important of these is the an
pual Farmers Week.
Columbia has a well deserved rep
utation for hospitality. She can
maintain this reputation only by con-
scientious effort.
The Commercial Club has taken
upon itself the responsibility of car
ing for the crowds Farmers Week.
Yet this does not mean that the citi-
zens should not do all in their power
to aid.

Why Go to Atlantic City?

A University of Missouri student
sat on bench on the lakeside at ST.
lcam Springs, Ark, thinking of the
columns and day dreaming. He was
startled by the approach of four
girls who asked that they might have
a seat at his side. He made room
for them and they all asked him two
questions apiece at once.
When they learned that he was
from Columbia they inquired about
a dozen or more students whom they
knew. The girls We're at the Springs
for their health-although at meal
time their appetites seemed remark
ably keen. One of them was from
Kansas City, another from the Uni
versity of Arkansas, and the other
two were cousins and classmates at
one of the Missouri boarding schools
for young women.
There are always several times as
many girls as boys at a health re-
sort. The few men who are on deck
spend many happy hours carrying
picnic baskets, riding perky horses
and fiinging the light fantastic at the
evening hops at the hotels, with part
ners several sizes too large or small,
as the case may be. A travelling man
whose line is hardware told the stu
dent that he saved money for fifty
weeks only to spend it in his two
weeks summer vacation. But as
long as his money lasted, he was q
Prince Charming in reality.
A few miles from the southwest
corner of Missouri is Sulphur
Springs. Ark In the park is a small
pavilion in which several springs
come to the surface side by side The
water in no two is similar. Next to
the black sulphur spring, with its
Odors or malOdOrs, is the ferrO-man-
ganese. Nearby is the white sulphur
spring. with its water which grows
: on the taste of the drinker to such
az extent that he will tramp a mile
three times day for jug of the
crystal fluid
Sulphur Springs is on a real white
way-a newly constructed interstate
macadam highway. The streams
nearby are filled with fish and lined
with fishermen. Some of the more
athletic guests at the hotels spend the
day tramping in the mountains, get
ting their MONDAY meals at chance
farmhOuses. There are plenty of ap-
rles. Strawberries, and peaches
both varieties-in the neighbOrhoOd.
Noel, Mo-, four miles to the north of
Sulphur Springs, has constant
stream of fisherman and hunters
from Kansas City throughout the va
cation months.
! Eureka Springs is another famous
North Arkansas resort. 1t seems
that one winds about for miles 60
ing from the downtown districts to
the Crescent Hotel, but on looking
from the front piazza one can see the
place from which he started short
half-blOck down the hill. From the
tower of the hotel, view of woods,
valleys and mountains may be had in
every direction. The boy who calls
the guests in the morning will tell
them that Eureka Springs water is
served in Fred Harvey eating houses
throughout the land. Around the
principal spring of the town. Basin
Spring, are many circles of benches
filled with visitors. Entirely new
faces are seen each day. The town

piney air gives an appetite that is all

certain lines, but fell just short of

never quite forget it was Franz
Liszt who was accomplishing things,
rather than that wonderful things

capacity for mechanism but lacked

So far as we know. not dollar
has been spent during twenty years
in an effort to perfect gun which
would make life saving more effec-

day is being spent at RoekaWay Beach.
There was disappointment when the
mothers awoke today and saw mat II
was raining, but later the sun broke
through the clouds and there was a
rush for the wharf. On board the
boat on both the going and coming
trips milk donated by local diaries was
served by members of the bartenders
and walters unions.
Although it was the last of the gen
eral outings for this season there Will
be outings for the inmates of the Home
