This query is often heard where
people become dissatisfied with things
and people This is the question that
the officers Of the board of trade
would like to PROFOUND 10 their mem
berS. Is it because our meeting nights
are the first and third Fridays in the
month or is It because there are too
many meetings a month; or would
you prefer to have the meetings be
tween > and 6 o'clock in the after
Moons or have you joined the board
Of trade just because your neighbor
is a member and you want people to
think that you are as prominent in
our city affairs as he is?
These questions are asked YOU thru
the medium of the press. because il is
Impossible to get you to come TO the
meetings Of the board of trade on reg
ular meeting nights. All boards of
trade are run on the basis of a better
city and anything that makes for the
betterment of local affairs will be
gladly handled by the Ocala board of
trade.
With an enrolment of seventy-five
members who. if they did their duty
to both themselves and the city, Ocala
would rank second to no city in the
state. 1t is not a pleasant task to try
TO show the citizens Of our beautiful
city their duty towards the better
ment of the city. Many members ask
when they pay their dues: "What has
the board of trade done?" The board
of trade has not done a great deal a 5
vet but it IS because you. the mem
bers have not cooperated and tried TO
help the officers out. There has never
limit
meetings that has not been handled
with promptness and dispatch, and
possibly the results do not show on
the surface, yet they are felt in diff
ferent places.
The few members that have kept in
touch with the board of trade know
how hard il is to get results without
cooperation. You cannot do it in your
own business. so how can you expect
it from the officers Of the board of
trade?
Notices of our next meeting will be
mailed so that they will reach you the
morning of our meeting night and you
will have no excuse to offer as to not
being notified because you did not see
| the morning and afternoon papers.
Make up your mind to put everything
aside on that night and come TO this
meeting because if your chair Is va
cant it will make the balance of the
members feel that you have not the
good of the city at heart. Any men,
Der that wishes TO post himself as to
what the board of trade has done can

at the board Of trade offices and he
Will gladly go over what has been ac-

Return Game With sedaIia Will Be
Played High School Day.
The, Columbia High School base
ball team returned from its trip to
Boonville and Sedalia with one game
won and one lost. Friday afternoon
the team played Kemper Military
School at Boonville. Kemper won 4
to 1. Until the sixth inning, the score
was tied, / to 1. Kemper punched hits
after that and won. Hill, the Colum-
bia pitcher, held the cadets to three
hits. The Kemper pitcher allowed
four.
Columbia won the game Saturday
afternoon with Sedalia 81 TO 3. The
one-sided score according to j. L. Co.
lonius, coach Of the Columbia team,
does not indicate the closeness of the
contest. The base running of the Co.
lumbia players and the weak throw
ing arm of the Sedalia catcher was
the cause of the big score. Otherwise
the teams were evenly matched. The
Columbia team expects a hard game
with Sedalia when they meet on Rol-
Inns Field. High School Day. Tho
members of the Columbia team who
made the trip were: Hill and Turli-
bough, pitchers; Ketchum and School
er. catcherS: Wynne, first base: Ar.

that the upper halves of the char

Now turn this page upside down and
without any careful looking you will
see that the difference in size is very
much exaggerated-that the real top
half Of the letter is very much smaller
than the other half. 1t will be see1
by this that there is tendency in the

Viewpoints.
Praises Professor Brewer.

Editor the Missourian: Well have
to give it to Prof. Brewer when it
comes to boosting athletics. Professor
Brewer came here-an enthusiastic
man from an enthusiastic school
and was determined to make the Uni
versity of Missouri as enthusiastic Il
school,
He started in by increasing the
number of athletic events on the map
of student activities. He made wrest-
ling and boxing more popular than
ever before, for instance. Scheduled
wrestling tournaments we're held for
different classes, and he has succeed
ed in developing a competition in that
sport that it has not heretofore en-
joyed. In boxing he has done practi-
cally the same thing.
In track he has made a radical de-
parture from the general run of
things here at Missouri and has in
stituted athletic carnivals. At these
indoor meets he greatly increases the
interest in track work by giving the
men something to work for instead of
the daily drudgery of practice. The
recent carnival, sorority relays, etc.,
are examples of this increased inter-
est in track. The Ad Club carnival,
and other entertainments will no
doubt increase this interest. He is
has done before. Can We not expect
that Professor Brewer has something
up his sleeve for the other branches
of sport as we'll?
His determination to inject enthu-
siasm into the school, to break away
from traditions and the monotonous
athletic work of past years, tends TO
prove that new era has dawned in
athletics of all kinds here. An ener-
getic man such as Brewer is, is as
valuable an adjunct to the University
as any other man.
Brewer realizes the principle that
Roper demonstrated here so success
fully in 1909-that immortal year
when we drubbed the Jayhawkers-
the principle that it takes enthusiasm
to make winning teams in the mod
ern University. without interest In
all branches of intercollegiate sport,
little material will turn out, there will
be a mediocre display Of college spirit
and the University will continue to
be a second-rate school athletfcally.
1t takes constant energy, vim and
push to make atletics go. If It can't

lures.

TELEPHONE RATES IN CARTHAGE

TELEPHONE RATES IN CARTHAGE
In 1895 franchise was granted to
the Home Telepkohe soompany of Car.
thage, Mo-, permitting it to do bust
ness in that city. The rates provided
in the franchise were $24 year for
business telephones and SIS year for
residence telephones.
The company raised the rates in
1906 to $50 for business and $24 fo-
residence telephones. At the same
time it sought to get an Injunction
against the franchise provisions being
enforced. This Injunction was held
valid by lower courts but was revers-
ed by the Missouri Supreme Court in
a decision last week.
The decision was made under the
Public Utilities Act, limiting the abso-
lutte power of public corporations to
control rates. Judge Kennish, who
wrote the opinion, considered that
there were four points affecting the
case; the value of the, property, its
gross earnings, the amount OF legiti-
mate expenses, and whether or not the
amount remaining is sufficient return
on the investment .,..c ,.- g.,
He held that the Home Telephone
Company, in this case, had not given
accurate figures on the value of their
property; that they had counted their
franchise as an asset upon which they
were entitled to a return, and that
their expense account was unreason-
able. He found that they were earn
ing II 2-3 per cent, net, on their in
yestment under the present rate, and
he held that amount to be all they
are entitled to.
The Public Utilities Act is new
legislative measure and the case just
decided was a test case. 1t has been
watched by many other states and
will stand as a precedent for future
decisions. Governor Hadley has an
nouned that he is greatly satisfied by
the opinion given, and is pleased to
note that the first case under the new
law has decided in favor of the peo-

SAFETY OF RAILROAD TRAVEL.


In the forty years existence of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway,
not passenger has been killed inside

Trainmen have been killed; but pas

shows.
OF 371,S5S,277 passengers carried on
the Pennsylvania Illness since 1903,
more than four times. the total popuia-
ton of the United States. only one was
killed. Not one of the 136,00O.OOO pas
sengers carried in 1910 was killed.
From these statements one would
think that 1t is safer to travel than TO
remain at home. But when IL is known
that 1870 persons were killed in rail-
road accidents during the" years 1908
and 1909, the fear of travel returns.
