THE FRENCH APPROPRIATION.

The French Chamber of Deputies
adopted a naval program providing
for an expenditure of $279,6OO, 900
this year 1t was passed by a vote of
452 to 73. NJ. Delcasse, minister of
Marine. as if to excuse this pro-
digiOus waste. said that France must
be strong both on land and sea, to
keep her rank among the powers.
What humble confession this is,
A nation must be physically strong
to keep its place among the powers.
Are We still reckoning place" by
ships. and rank by guns? Can a ma
tiOn like France, whose population
has been stationary, if not actually
on the decline, think of maintain
ing it's place among the powers by ar
NOR plate instead of by people?

If the French will not multiply,
this 279 millions of dollars might
have been better used to make the
country attractive to immigrants
whose barbarism and savagery and
utter ignorance of French fastidiOus-
ness and daintiness, have not yet
caused them to regard children as a
burden. and motherhood as a curse
But France must have place"
among the nations. This 279 mil
lions will undoubtedly give it to her.
She will also maintain it. Yes, until
there will be no one to maintain it
for.

leaves this city annually would pave
more streets, light the city, build
more sewers and relieve poverty.
That would be conserving our own re-

ed. when Columbians trade at home,
when every road entering Columbia
is open to traffic every day in the

Church organization in Columbia
was begun as early as 1923, when the
Baptists organized at the home of
Charles Hardin. The first pastor was
the Rev. Allen Mcclure, who served
from 1927 until his death in 1885.
For a number of years services were
conducted in the old courthouse. The

tist Church who held office a few
years each includes r. S. Thomas,

TO DO FOR COLUMBIA.

Every Columbian is interested in
the progress of this city, along civic
as well as material lines. We want
to make Columbia a better place to
live in, a place of greater Opportu-
mites and of greater social advant-
ages.
The usual goal urged for cities is
more factories. Columbia is inter-
ested in new industries. i'm building
up commercially. yet that is not the
vital issue, Columbia could support
a larger population and fare excel
lently with no more factories than we
have at present. The magic formula
for improving Columbia lies in great
er utilization of what we have rather
than in seeking new things.
Columbia has been called the
Athens of Missouri. a hackneyed
phrase. but true The chief business
of this town is education. With the
state University, two girls colleges
and splendid public schools, there is
no city in the Middle West that Of
fers better educational advantages
Next to the schools comes agricul-
ture. Boone is an agricultural coun-
ty Larger cities than Columbia have
been built on less favored farming
districts. When Columbia has done
her duty by Boone county, the county
will have made Columbia larger and
more wealthy. Third in importance
to our material welfare comes manu-
factures.
One splendid way to improve Co
lumbia is to trade at home. Cooper

He said the remaining assets of the

lands are being advertised for sale, but
it is not likely that a deal will be

the lands at public sale would be a
foolish sacrifice of valuable property.
There had been some chance of selling
