WORK FOR STUDENTS.

When John 'Ruskin was a professor
at Oxford, he took his students out
to break stones and make roads in
order to impress upon them the dig
nifty of work.
Would it not be a good thing if
there were some John Ruskins today ?
There is a tendency to depreciate the
dignity of labor. The struggle every
where is to avoid work. Education
is sought often to avoid labor. And
when the burden of manual labor
shifts upon others, we often begin at
once to look down upon them
Like Ruskin, Tolstoy felt great dig
nifty in labor, and every day worked
in the fields for time Great men
have always felt the necessity of re-
spect for work. Lincoln and Clay
could hold their own at rail-splitting
and log-rolling. Mr.. Roosevelt makes
a great impression by his ability and
willingness to do many things with
his hands.
II might be good thing today if.
instead of playing tennis or swinging
Indian clubs and dumbbells or taking
cross-cOuntry runs, students would
work on the roads as they did in the
days of Ruskin. They would learn
the dignity of work. get the physical
necessary for good health.
and in addition improve the country.

THIRTEEN Ms ENOUGH.

A football NJ means quality, not
quantity. A player to win this en-
blem must meet certain qualifications
but the most important is that he be
a good football player. The NJ marks
a degree of excellence.
At recent meeting of the Athletic
Committee. thirteen letters were
given to the 1912 Tigers. Since it is
quality that counts in the giving of
letters, it is well to keep the number
in a reasonable LIMIT. Only one or
two other schools in the Valley gave
as many letters and several of the
schools gave fewer
Many persons say that more letters
should be given. Most of them do not
mean this. They merely mean that
in their judgment certain man who
did not get letter should have had
one. 1t is not a question of number
with them but of personal choice
Thirteen letters are enough. A
reasonable limit keeps the standard
of the letter high

ONE.CENT LOCAL POSTAGE.

1t seems queer that it costs as much
to send letter by United States mail
two blocks within the city of Column
bia as it does to send the same letter
to San Francisco. a distance of 1.5O0
miles Surely, it doesn't cost the gov
ernment as much to carry the letter
the two blocks as it does the 1,5OO
miles. Yet, why is the charge the
same?
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
has introduced bill into Congress
which proposes to reduce the postal
rate on letters for local delivery from
cents to l cent This law would
mean a great saving to department
stores and merchants who have, a
heavy local mail.
This new bill ought to be made a
law, not because of the saving that
it would bring to any particular class.
but because it would be in harmony
with sound business sense in the run
ming of the postoffice department The
department has long needed reform
ing along several lines. AS a result
of agitation two years ago, the annual
deficit has at last been eliminated.
And now the parcels post has been
added. A more just distribution of
postal rates would now be in order.

many hogs in Boone County was puz-

were attacked by a wheeling cough

Some Ideas for Those Who Are Knitting Their Brows
Over the Annual Christmas List

Now comes Christmas with it's ac-
conpanying problem: What shall
give, and to whom? The shop-early
slogan greets us from the store win
dows and the loaded editorial columns
of the newspaper. AnxiOusly we pore
over the Christmas list. wondering
how we are going to stretch our al
lowance to buy gifts for all whom we
wish to remember.
Consider then the Sane Christ
mas" movement, which has for it's OBJ
ject the simplifying of giving and a
return to a more rational observance
of this bestowed holiday. Most of us
welcome such an attempt. but the
problem remains as to how to bring
about the results desired.
AS we glance retrospectively over
the presents that we have received
from year to year we remember a few
that have given unallOyed pleasure
Perhaps it was the pair of knitted
slippers of which we hadn't even
realized the need. How warm and de-
lightful they were throughout the
winter. and how many times we were
grateful for them. Then one Christ
mas came simply folded slip of
paper, away down in the toe of our
stocking, upon which was written,
Subscription for the Youths Compan-
ion." We weren't greatly impressed
with that present on Christmas day
but as the year passed and this jour-
nal. full of vital interest for young
people, came regularly each week. We
never failed to appreciate the thought
fulness of the giver.
AS illustrating how small part
money value plays in our apprecia-
ton of gifts, one that gave unlimited
satisfaction was toilet bag, or rather
series of bags. 1T was of plain Gre
tonne in the shape of small apron
on which were sewed little pockets.
of different sizes for holding toilet
articles. The one for the tooth brush
and soap was lined with oiled cloth.
This apron could be tied around the
waist or hung upon the foot of the
bed and was deeply apprecited in
travelling
No one of these presents had any
great money value. They were not
SHOW presents. but were the
thoughtful recognition of a need by
sympathetic person. If then We can
make this spirit of simplicity and ap-
propriateness the keynote to our Civ
ing we will have done something to-
ward promoting the Sane Christmas"
movement.
To the college girl. the teacher or
business girl, whose days are filled
with duties that take her away from
home. nothing is more acceptable
than dainty little things made by
those who can command leisure. The |
pretty kimono or dressing sack, the /
crocheted belt, dainty jabot. or
number of smart bows of different I
colors. which lend such an air of /
style to the shirt waist. a bit of /

COOPERATIVE DELIVERY.

President H. ]. Waters of the Kan
sas State Agricultural College says
that one of the causes for the high
cost of living is the lack of co-opera-
ton between town and country. He
believes also that much is wasted in
transportation because of lack of CO.
operation. There is no denial of Mr..
Waters statement
The cooperative delivery system
used by Columbia merchants is step
in this direction. 1t will mean. with
out doubt. a great saving to those
who are behind the movement, and
some of this saving is bound to be
passed on to the consumer Money
lost in making small deliveries under
the old plan can be saved through
this cooperation. 1t is hoped also
that the system will give better SER
vice.
Some one has said that it is not the
high cost of living that is troubling
us. but the cost of high living. There
is logic in that statement. There is
no doubt that we have a great many
more conveniences than our mothers
and fathers had. 1t is hoped that this
cooperative delivery will make these
conveniences less expensive than for
merly.
The parcels post is on the same or
der, but pertains to the country man
rather than to the city man. The
postOffice, too, is. an example of a
well-delivered cooperative delivery
system. Isn't there some way to ex-
tend the system?

tons, etc.--all these will give pleasure
to the busy girl who can barely find
time to do her meanding. At the
stores may be bought a bright scarf, a
pair of silk stockings-the delight of
all girls,- little chain purse for
small change, an album for camera
pictures or an artistic frame for the
bureau. There is no limit to the
simple and pretty things for girls.
But what shall the busy girl give
to her friends? AS she goes back and
forth she takes few minutes each
to glance into the store windows. In
one may he seen leather portfolio
of convenient size for writing, holding
note paper and envelopes. with a
place for pens and pencils. Quite
the thing for mother. Then there
are attractive rich brown Japanese
willow baskets for holding all sorts
of things 4; the soft. creamy Zanes-
vile pottery in pretty shapes, with
decorations in pale pinks and laven-
dars, and the pretty green bowls in
tended for ferns or flowers, which
give such a dainty air to the dining
table.
Many men and boys are interested
in some form of sport or recreation
and for them there are beautifully
illustrated books and journals. One
may choose from long list on golf
ing. automobiling. gardening, travel.
etc, with an assurance of giving
pleasure to the recipient.
For the friend who is interested in
the woman Movement" there is
Julia France and her Times by Ger
trude AthertOn, a book well worth
reading. and new book by Ida NJ.
Tarbell THE Business of Being a
Woman"
For the high school boys and girls
there are two attractive and well IL
lustrated series of books: Peeps at
Many Lands and Cities" and Home
Life in Many Lands"
What we should consider above all
in buying gifts for the little ones is
that they may do something with
them. A present that is only to be
looked at soon loses it's charm and is
thrown aside. For family of small
children the large "Hennessy'' blocks.
varying from three to six inches
square by four to ten long. will fur
nish pleasurable occupation
the year. The little girl
enjoys the tiny tea set and the boy |
the horse or donkey on wheels that |
may be pulled about, or the little
train of cars which goes. There is
nothing that will please the baby
more than one of the soft. woody ami
mails. preferably a sheep, which may
be bought or made from patterns.
The secret. then. of Christmas Civ
ng. if there be one, must be in the
more sympathetic understanding of
hose to whom we give THE gift is

willing to assist in bringing about a
;aner Christmas. few would be willing

others by giving gifts
