WASTING MILLIONS

1t seems no less than marvellous how
much money is wasted every day
through careless and unscientific man
agement of various enterprises. Every
now and then along comes some one
with a statement that the country is
losing a million or several millions a
day by this or that careless and often
easily preventable waste.
The wastes through bad habits.

ly managed railroads are only a few

Support the Debating Team.

Editor the Missourian: Debating is
one of the most worthy and most un-
appreciated student activities From
point of view of skill. it affords as
great test of ability as athletics. 1t
is likewise a test of intellectual devel-
opment. which is supposedly the object
'of students in the University.
This Indifference is not confined TO
the University OF Missouri alone. Prac-
tically every other school has the same
lack of support for debating teams.
This general condition is possibly the
outgrowth of the restless, pleasure
seeking age. Students want amuse-
ment. AS a general rule they do not
care about social or economic prob
lens.
And yet, debating is surely deserv-
ing Of support. Intercollegiate con-
tests should mean contests where the
students of each school are striving for
a victory; where true college spirit is
ever present. With three years of vic
tory for its debating teams. the Uni
versity of Missouri should be eager to
encourage greater support for this val
liable student activity. NJ. A.

FOR HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT.

| l.. w. Page, director of the United
States office of public roads, asserts
that the United States loses forty mil
lion dollars annually on account of
Incorrect and inadequate methods in
construction, maintenance and admin
istration of public roads. He says that
the indirect loss caused by the exces-
sive cost of transportation over bad
highways brings the figures to the
impressive total of $50 million dollars
a year.
Here is serious problem of inter-
nal improvement for the American peo-
pie. Better systems of highways
would serve two purposes. The enor-
nous loss through transportation over
bad roads would be lessened and rural
life would be made more attractive.
1t is doubtful if any plan for bet
tering economic conditions offers larg-
er returns than concerted action
toward improved highways. The
American Association for Higway I'm
provement is most laudable organiza-
ton. 1t numbers among it's members
men of the highest financial and exc
cutiye ability. In its efforts to secure
united action and uniform road legis-
lation throughout the United States. it
deserves the cooperation and support
of every person who makes use of pub
lie highways or is indirectly benefited
by highways. 1t is making construc-
tive effort to improve American roads
and such Improvement means a saving
Of money and the solution of serious
economic problems.

THE LEISURE MOMENT.

What We do with our leisure mo-
ment should be the result of careful
choice. We are perhaps ever under
more obligation and responsibility to
ourselves. 1t is question which the
serious student recognizes as d prob
lem OF vital importance. He realizes
that upon the nature and value of
what he does during spare time de.
pends in large measure his career as
student. Indeed, the habits formed
and the tastes cultivated during the
leisure moments mould his whole life.
Aside from this. we need the mo-
mentS of unrestraint. Life with its
efforts and strains, and not too rarely
irksome toll. requires recuperating for
renewed v;sor and-inspiration. And
so we are confronted with the ques-
ton of how shall we spend it. When
We turn away from what is termed
we should choose
from the many opportunities about us
those that will yield pleasure and at
the same time culture.

A CITY WITH FIRE PROTECTION

For reliable and efficient fire de-
partment, the City Council should in
vestigate the one at Chillicothe. No.
In this city of $500 may be found a
department which has held the worlds
record for speed in hitching and going
100 yards. The horses are trained
TO the extent that they will crawl into
the harness on the floor. The two men
in charge of the headquarters take
pride in the efficiency of the de-
partment
Chillicothe has not the taxable
wealth of Columbia. 1t has no great
resources such as university or col
lege. 1t has not the chance for future
growth. but ii has fire department.
Not only is the fire department effl-
cient. II is kept free from dirt. The
hre house is a model in appearance.
Chillicothe citizens believe in the de-
partment and contribute to its sup
port in every possible way.

DON'T FEEL BAD-WORK!

progress than does defeat itself.


Not long ago, little boy, about 8
years old. was asked to give recita-
tion in a school literary society which
he was visiting. He walked to the
front of the room and then asked
what he must say. He is an example
of the type which is not afraid to
start.
The fear of starting has been used
as a theme in literature more than
once. In the tragedy of Mamlet, it
is the hero's inactivity which brings
about the catastrophe and caused the
deaths of so many innocent persons.
II is just as important to an under
taking that the one who is to carry
it through has the ability to go ahead
as to be sure he is right 1t might
not be advisable to follow the example
of the little boy who depended on his
audience to tell him what TO say-and
yet this young reader got through his
recitation all right.

That the best way to do a thing

things remain undone because of hes

count of inability to accomplish the

any undertaking which they have be-
gun, seem afraid to begin a new en-

possible with but few exceptions and
each number drew forth hearty encores.
The regular hotel orchestra opened the
program with two very dne selections
following which Mr.. Becker entertained
the guests with violin solo. Mr..
McGee also drew q hearty round of
applause after rendering violin solo
from the "Ballade ct Polonaise." After
another selection by the orch estra, Miss
Queena Stewart sang the "Jewell Song"
from Faust. Mr.. Becker then gave
another of his suberb violin selections,

OLD TIMERS
PICNIC SOON
Second Annual Old Settlers
Picnic August 31st.
TO BE A BIG AFFAIR
A Rousing Great Time is Being
Planned--Basket Dinner
and Bowery Dances.

The Old Settlers Association of Fall
River County, at a meeting last week,
decided to hold their second annual
picnic on Thursday, August 31st on
Evans Heights, the scene of last years
event. Committees were named and
arrangements are being made for a
bigger time, if possible, than even the
last years picnic which was one of the
biggest successes of recent years. A
residence of twenty, five years in thu
county was necessary last year before
becoming q member Of the society but
it has been decided this year that those
who came here in 'S6 will be admitted
to membership. At present there are
about two hundred and fifty members
and at or before the time of this com
ing picnic it is the intention of the
present officers of the association to
have each and every old settler in the
county enrolled.
A program consisting of speeches by
the different old timers, musical seleo-
tions, a good old fashioned bowery
dance, and big picnic dinner and
supper will be prepared. Free coffee
and ice cream for everybody will be
supplied by the association and all are
invited for rousing good time.

SOME OATS.
Col. Ainsworth Harvested Fine Crop of
Small Grain This Year.

Col Frank B Ainsworth came in
from his ranch at Minnekahta, Satur-
day, and brought to this office sample
of oats which was raised on his place
this year. 1t was the average from q
field of thirty five acres and measured
thirty six inches high with about a
fifteen inch heading. The straw was
clean and heavy and the grain we'll
filled. This particular variety is
known as the Lincoln sixty day oat and
of the several varieties planted by him
this spring this one appeared to be the
best. From one hundred acres of
ground sown to wheat, rye and oats
the Colonel has seven big stacks ready
for the threshers which is exceptional
for this dry year. The Colonel by the
way, is farming scientifically and when
this is taken into consideration, it is
perhaps not so exceptional after all.
His corn crop he reports as being very
good and with the continued rains will
make fair yield. During the two
years he has been at Minnekahta in
charge of his ranch, he has improved it
wonderfully and by scientific methods
has the ground now under cultivation
yielding him good returns. A visit to
bis place would be an educator to q
great many Fall River county farmers
as to how to avoid entire crnn faiInros
during these dry seasons.

Since July 9Th the Forest Service has

time. In fact, much quicker than the
information can be secured from any
other source.
AS result, the forest fires of the
past month have been small ones, not
exceeding over an acre or so; because
it was possible for the Forest Officer
with his crew, to get to fire in very
short time after it started. Thus much
