LEARN TO PLAN OWN HOMES

The College of Agriculture is

ing out and planning his own home
stead. This instruction is given in
the course called farm architecture
taught by Prof. W. ]. Hendrix.
mo prerequisite course is re-
quired," said Prof. HendroX, but it
is our aim in time to require some
preliminary course and make the ar
chitecture course a required subject.
"It is not a course intended for
professionals. but is merely to aid
the student to understand blue print
and to help him in planning his own
buildings if he so desires. He also
becomes acquainted with difficulties
arising in building.
I'VE require eleven complete
drawings in the course, and along
with them. bills for the lumber re-
quired in each building planned. The
drawings consist of plans for all
buildings concerned with farming.
Lectures are given and little land
scape gardening is included so that
the student may understand laying
out a farm"

BETTER TRAIN SERVICE.

Better train service would benefit
Columbia and everybody who trans
acts business in Columbia.
Postmaster E. A. Remley says that
the Wabash morning train is late
more than twenty days in a month.
Such inefficiency does not become the
Wabash Railroad. Its unannounced
and arbitrary refusal to operate it's
train to Centralia Tuesday morning,
November %, recalls methods which
long ago aroused the hostility of the
people, and for which railroads have
paid heavily.
There should be morning passen-
ger train from Centralia; also a
freight train. The passenger train
should leave Centralia after the ar
rival of Chicago and Alton train,

papers and mail would then reach Co.
lumbia at o'clock. They now reach
here at 1880 o'clock in the afternoon.
An early morning train from New
Franklin over the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Railroad, returning from
Columbia in the evening, would be
literally patronized.
Equipment of both railroads is
poor. The trains are often uncOm-
Portable. Service given is not COM
mensurate with the needs of the peO-
pie, nor the profits of the railroads.

THE BEST POLICEMAN.

A Kansas judge objects to the no
toriety given an outrageous case of
assault in his circuit. 1t is the old
cry: Have mercy on us, for Heav-
en- knows we've suffered enough" "
No! The old saying that publicity
is the best policeman has lost none
of its former force. People are not
SD likely to do bad things when they
are aware the world will read of
them the next morning.
On the other hand, if people re-
mained secure in the belief that their
wrongdoing would never be brought
to light, there is no telling what they
might be led to do. A wrong con-
sists in the doing. Detection mat
ters little.
1t is in the prevention of this do
ing that newspaper and magazine

Ribbons Rule in the Shops

Ribbons, ribbons everywhere in
Columbia shOps-ribbons to be used
| from head to foOt-frOm the band
| ir the hair to the fiat bows on the
pumps. Never before have the deal
ers in wOmen's ''fixins" stocked up
So heavily in things made of ribbons.
Nor are they expensive Grecian
bands for the hair-really made of
silk, cut bias-cOme in all sorts of
shades to match any gown, for a very
nominal sum. One girl, who loves
to give Christmas gifts that appeal,
is carefully collecting samples of
! her best friends dresses. She is
going to match these with Grecian
bands. A box of half a dozen or so
will make a delightful Yule-tide re-
membrance.
Flowers made of ribbons are meet
ing with popular approval. Dainty
pink or red satin roses with stems of
sage green are pretty when worn
at the throat with shirt-waist, or a
knot of them at the belt with ling
erie dress. One modiste has made
ur huge punches of exquisite ribbon
flowers which, she says, are to be
worn at the high waist line in the
back.
Everybody is wearing pumps this
winter, the shoe dealers say, except
for the toughest wear. Satin and
suede and velvet, even on the street
Nothing is quite so dressy as a pump,
but doctors are turning up disgusted
noses, and ordering new automobiles
On the strength of the fashion.
You may expect at least one hand
bag for Christmas this winter if Co
lumbia dealers are prophetic. No
street costume is complete without
bag that matches in some way, they
say. The most popular materials are
the most perishable, but who wants
to send or receive anything servic-
able and sensible for Christmas?
That is the season when one hopes
to be INDUCED at least once in that
inborn love of luxury that most hu-
mans possess.
College girls Xmas gifts, hardware
and even jewelry stores are showing
chafing dishes and coffee percolators
of very attractive design. The new
est ones are very solid affairs built
with straight square legs. instead of
the older, more ornamental but more
uncertain style resting on metal pans
to prevent dangers of fire.
These copper dishes are extremely
ornamental, the nickel and alumni
mum are still in demand. Nothing
appeals to the college girl quite so
much as that particular prerogative
Of hers, the midnight spread. There

OF him it is expected that he outline

class, keep note of the conformity
to the outlined plans and make def

This laboratory is also used for
graduate students who therein make
data for thesis work. At present one
graduate student is working upon
the teaching of English and another
the teaching of history in high
schools. Similar studies have been
pursued in physics. plane geometry
and first-year German.
Theses showing the result of this
study may be found in the General
Library of the University. Copies
are also kept in the Superintend-

THE UNITED STATES OF CHINA.

Soon there may be two nations
the United States of America
and the United States of Chi
ma. Chinese scholars have long
dreamed of a republican form of gov
ernment with institutions similar to
orr republic. They are about to
realize this dream. So soon as the
revolutionists have captured Pekin,
the capital, the title of the United
States of China will be adopted.
Although the Chinese people, as a
whole, are unable to equal the Amer
lean in popular education, the ply
sical features of China are some
what like those of the United States
and in some respects. perhaps, per-
haps, a little superior. Both coun-

BAZAR SOLD OUT QUICKLY
Ladies' of Christian Church Found
Big Demand for Their Wares.

The Edith Circle of the Christian
Church held it's Christmas bazar
Saturday. Many of the things sold
were sent to the class by Miss Edith
Barker who is in Japan. The bazar
opened at noon and most of the
things were sold before 1 o'clock
One of the things that attracted
the most attention was the japanese
stationery. 1t consists of long envel-
Opes of very thin paper and highly
decorated in Japanese fashion. The
writing paper matches the envelopes
and is about twenty-five feet long
instead of being divided into sheets
of paper as our stationery. The paper
is torn as it is used. The bazar was
held in the basement of the church.

out this feasible, modern idea. Dr.
WI Tin Fung, a former Chinese min

republic will probably adopt a COM

ton, the United States of China will
take the republic of America as

At present. every province will be
individually organized. Kwangtung

The Government Crop Report.

The July government crop report
just issued is on the face of it much
more encouraging than private and
press reports. Corn crop conditions
are within about 5 per cent of the
average of corn for the past ten years;
winter wheat 1858 per cent of normal
compared with the ten year average
of S1.4; oats are low at about IA
per cent below the average; barley
is about the same percentage below;
rye per cent below as are potatoes
Hay is only about two-thirds crop
Word of mouth reports are always
pessimistic. The man who sees a
splendid crop prospect turn to loss
always magnifies his loss. Conditions
are bad enough everywhere outside
of that favored garden of the earth,
Iowa, the core of excellence of which
is central Iowa, but they are not as
bad as we are inclined to believe
Some sections of Dakota will lose all
their crop. Some sections of Illinois
and adjoining states will lose a good
part, but if the government report
is to be credited we shall have a fair
general crop Of the major cereals.
1t is too early to assert a crop fail
ure. We shall have wheat and corn
and cattle and hogs. If we have less
of these than of other years that is
not failure or famine.

LOW pressure IS HEAT WAVE
CAUSE.
Chief Moore Sees Change in Condi-

Washington, July 13.-Chief Will
lis L. Moore, of the government
weather bureau, has personally is
sued signed statement explaining
the cause of the hot wave of the last
ten days and telling why he believes
more or less permanent relief is at
hand.
For prolonged PERIOD" says the
chief the barometric pressure has
been above normal over the Atlantic
ocean and low over the north west
ern portion of the American CONT
nent. The international weather map
of Wednesday showed a re-
versal in this pressure distribution
an extensive area of high barometric
pressure appearing over Alaska while
the pressure over the middle of the
Atlantic ocean has fallen to below
normal. This changed pressure dis
tribution is strong, indicative of the
Pdissipation of the warm weather over
the eastern states and the middle
west in the immediate future and a
period of moderate temperature in
these districts lasting through the
remainder of this week and continu-
ing into next week.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending July Is, 1911
Des Moines, Iowa.
With cooler weather and light to
copious showers in nearly all parts
OF the state on one or more DAYS,
corn is still holding it's own. Scatter
ed showers occurred on the 9th, 10th,
18th and 18th, but the amounts of
rainfall were generally too small to
be of material or lasting benefit, and
not sufficient to enable the crop to
Withstand the effects of another hot
wave without serious injury. Re-
ports indicate that early corn in the
tasselling and caring stage has al
ready suffered considerable damage
especially in southern and central
districts, and the crop as a whole is
at very critical stage. Grasshoppers
are numerous and are injuring uncut
grain, corn and clover in many local
tiles. The bulk of the small grain
harvest has been completed in the
southern and central sections, and
will be practically finished in the
northern counties during the coming
week. Shock thrashing has begun.
Pastures, gardens and potatoes con-
tinue to deteriorate. Early potatoes
are failure and the late varieties
are drying up.

Miss Kearney knows the people OF
the world, from the reigning nobility
Of Europe to the miserable Turkish
Effendi, living in the mud huts of the
Lebanon mountains; from the task
ridden peasants under despotic rule,
to the free citizens of our own be-
loved country. And her knowledge
is not bookish and theoretical; she
has been there to see for herself.
Miss Kearney is of Southern birth
and blood, is exquisite in tastes and in
stincts. and royalty represents the
spirit of modern wonpnhood. John

thing was left on the face of the
earth over which they passed with
the exception Of small strip on
each side of fence over which they
jumped. The ravenous insects de-
voured corn, onions, beets, weeds
it was all one to them.
