WESLEYANS FOUGHT

WESIEY.ANS WIN FROM HURON.
HARD FOUGHT GAME ON HOME
FIELE RESULTS IN SCORE
OF 90.

The first game of the season for
the local college boys was played
with Huron on Monday at the Col
lege Athletic Field. The day was
ideal and q large crowd of rooters
was on hand. A large body OF stu
dents led by the University band
marched down town before the game
to stir up some enthusiasm for the
contest.
The Huron team was a little light
err than the locals, but possessed a
fairly heavy line, and showed good
skill and careful training in getting
under way in the back field and
working several forward passes.
The game was played with consid-
cradle spirit at times but was marked
by loose playing and rag chewing.

make their downs frequently.
Log" Smith, Mitchell's veteran
quarter back, was taken out of the
game early in the second quarter be-
cause of injuries. This naturally
lcrippled the local boys but the place
was ably filled by Dan Potter. In fact
Potter played a fine game all thru,

With the ticking out of each yea

ing In OF a new year. Old accustomed
things pass away and a new regime
supplants the old.
With the coming of a new yeal

more nearly attain the goal of per.
fection in our little lives than ever
before. This brings into being the
New Years resolution.
The New Years resolution is the
Santa Claus of New Years. 1t is the

THE LESSON OF A TRAGEDY.

The flights which cost Hoxey and
Moissant their lives in the same day
should be lesson to aviators. 1t
should end the era of hippodrome aero
Ifeats. A brilliant record, rather than
practical usage. has been the aim OF
our aviators.
Only a week before the tragedy,
Hoxey broke the worlds altitude rec
ord, ascending to a height of 1,474
feet. almost 1000 feet greater than
the previous record. But HoXey was
not satisfied with this notable show
ing and he dared against a warning
wind which dashed him to his death.
The only justification for aeroplan-
ing is the possibility of putting it to
practical purposes and if we are to
reach this goal those who have the
interest and the power must turn
their labor in the direction of more
useful aim.

SUPPORT THE CONCERTS.

The municipal asset of high class
musical concerts each season. can
scarcely be over-estimated. With this

musical fraternity. Nothing better is
to be heard anywhere than the artists
who will perform in Columbia The
diversity of the series and the ar.
rangement of having one each month

OPEN HOMES TO FARMERS.

Columbia homes should be opened
, 10 the visitors Farmers Week. Many
persons from over Missouri will be
here then-many more than the hotels
can accommodate. The residents of
Columbia will have an opportunity to
show their hospitality
A pleased visitor is an asset to a
city, larger one perhaps to Columbia
than to any other city in Missouri.

in a hundred is business. When they.
move to Columbia, in large number
of Instances business is not one of the
determining factors. Many move to
Columbia or send their children here.
for educatiinal advantages. And the
first consideration, after an inspection
OF the school, is What kind of a
place is Columbian"
The farmer who comes here for a
few days this month may have boy
or a girl he intends to send to school
in the next two or three years. If
he hasn't, some good friend at home
may begin a college training next year
or the year following. Each visitor
is pretty sure to carry his impression
of Columbia to someone who is think
ing of coming here TO school.
The city speaks for itself, and
speaks 'out loud" But if the visitor
has slept uncomfortably or has not
been well fed. the talk is of no avail.
He will go back home and tell of the
poor accommodations here a dozen
times for every good thing he says
about the city.
Let's open up the company" bed
rooms and see that the visitors leave
Columbia with nothing to talk of but
the city's good qualities.

ANOTHER YEAR FOR WORK

Yes, we're back again. Christmas
has passed: New Years Day is gone;
and our resolutions are ready for trial.
Many a young man threw away his
pipe and tobacco. Not few bought
another pipe and another supply of
tobacco on the following day. Many
resolved to study harder than ever
before. They shouldn't wait until
next semester to begin.
Every year should find us little
farther along then the one before. 1t
depends on us. There is no credit in
doing the same old way from time
to time. Onward. upward are the
passwords Of success.
A year is made up of days. Unless
every day is put to the best use the

ALL ARE TALKING GOOD ROADS
Legislature Will Be Swamped With
Bills This Session.

4
JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. ASK /;
member of the legislature, one of tht
country members. what his people
back home sent him down to Jefferson
City to do and nine times out of ter
he will answer
Ito get good roads measure"
They all talk good roads Out o.
the fifteen legislators who came
early, all except one have some gooG
roads plan. When the legislature con
venes they'll need bushel baskets tt
cart the road bills TO the reading
clerks desk One county wants one
thing; another scheme appears good
to the Ozark country. And there YOU
are.
The sum and substance of il all lis
that the farmers desire good roads
rock roads, too. but they can't &c
into ectsacy over the cost. A Moses
who could point the way through the
wilderness of proposed schemes and
plans and bills would be as popular
as white mans hope.
One member, Nicholas Houx of Lex,
ington, says his sole and only object
in the comming session is to obtain a
practical road law. If such law is
obtained a rock road from Lexington
to Kansas City. he says. is assured.
They voted bonds some time ago in
Lafayette county-s120,0 900 worth
to build rock roads. When the bond
buyers looked the proposition over
they turned the issue down.
Get law that will stand fire in
the courts and We'll buy your bonds"
they said. And that's what | am
here to do said Houx. ''As soon
as We can get law on which We
can sell bonds Lafayette county will
be ready to vote bonds sufficient to
build rock road system to connect
with that of Jackson county and give
us rock road from Lexington to
Kansas City
That's one angle of the road Ques-
tion. w. c. Pawnter. member from
Oregon county, down on the Arkansas
line, has another vision on the road
question.
We din't need rock roads down
in the OZarks," he said. What we
want is good roads of any kind. A
bill, farmers in my county have asked
me to introduce, would abolish the
present system of working the roads
hit and miss. Instead l would have
the farmer pay his road tax in cash
and then have the roads built scienti.
ically and Systematically"
There you have two angles of the
proposition. Whether anything will
,ome out OF the legislature remains |
o be seen, but anyhow the question |
# good roads for Missouri is going to /
,e an important one for the present
eSsion to struggle with.
