"Ne,v" Street Car
Gets Here. H,s,rah!

The new street car has arrived.
Have you seen It? It is nice new
car. nit Later you may be fooled to
believe that it Is q new car, but it takes
more than paint to make anything new.
Well, anyway, it's here. Labeled with
big letters along the side. that read
Chicago Consolidated Traction Com
pany" and on the front and rear "227."
Its paint dingy and faded and
scared with the marks received in a
congested city traffic, it was standing
this forenoon on a flat car in the rail-
road yards. 1t looked detected as tho
overcome with decrepitude
But anyway 1t is here as the real evil
dence of new" equipment that the
Marshalltown Light, Power and Pail
way Company was going to- purchase
Later it's to be unloaded and dragged
to the car barn where, perhaps its
grand old name and number will be
blotted out with new paint. The paint
will be new.
Then some day--mayhap in the full
ness Of spring time-it will emerge in
its near" 1uii strength OIL motor and
axle and glistening with glossy paint
and varnish. Then the little boys and
their elders will say: 20. look at the
new carl" But they will be fooled, for
it will be just the same old outcast Of
the Chicago Consolidated Traction
Company done over for local purposes.
A new street car "phsaw!" as the man

ADVISES BOILING WATER.
Chemist Finds Water Full Of Aigae and
Sends Sampia for ANALYSIS

At the request of Mayor w. H. Jones
j. A. Turner, pure food inspector, and
chemist, made an examination yes
terday of samples of the city water.
with the result that today Mr.. Turner
advises the public to boil all drinking
water as safeguard until bacterio-
logical analysis can be made and re-
ported upon.
Mr. Turner found the water con-
tanning more than the usual amount of
algae. and in a receptive mood for con-
tamination. Mr.. Turner has no means
for making meteorological test. and
today sent samples to Professor Albert
at Iowa City, for thorough bacteria
logical examination. Mr.. Turner be-
lieves the presence of the algae is due
to the low stage of water in the wells.

on THE GIVING OF AIMS.

The mere giving of aims to the
poor does not constitute charity. The
real charity that seeks to build is
something more than that.
If man asks for a dollar and re-
ceives it, the act may be charity or
it may not. To the average person
it appears charity. In reality it may
be a premium on idleness.
1t is human nature to rebel at pay
ing for what was once free If a
father finds he can obtain groceries
and clothing for the mere asking the
result is inevitable loss to his thrift
mess. A sincere attempt to aid a
poverty-stricken family may cause its
degradation.
Tramps do not work because they
find it easier to loaf. When they can
not live by loafing they go to work
The same is true in a modified de-
gree, of many poor. Often what they
lack is not the ability to work but
the incentive; and to shower food
and clothing upon them only deadens
this still more.
This is not to say that material aid
is an unnecessary thing. Often tenn
pOrary assistance must be given. But

OR PROVIDER-THE FARMER

The dependence of everyone upon
the farmer and his labors cannot be
denied. The farmer is in turn de-
pendent upon the farmers that pre-
ceded him; for it is upon their sue.
cess and failure that he builds his
foundations. 1t is their experience
which teaches him the methods OF
success.
Last week there were large num-
Der of farmers in Columbia seeking
benefit from the experience of others.
They were here to obtain the stored
up wisdom on agricultural topics
from lecturers of the College of Ag-
riculture.
Thus it is seen that the farmer and
the University should be in closer
touch with each other The benefit is
mutual and the support should be
mutual. Respect, admiration and
pride should be our attitude toward
these toilers for our daily bread, and
they should return the feeling for
this institution.

Gradually, with the advent of ma

COLUMBIA A SHOPPING TOWN.

Few cities of 10000 population
can offer shopping opportunities
equal or approximate to those of the
large cities. Most cities of Colum-
bias size, situated within cOmpara-
lively easy reach of big shopping
centers, are content to let the
"cream" of the trade go to the me-
tropolis without a fight for it. Co
lumbia is a small town with near
city ways. 1t has the shopping ad-
vantages of the city, or nearly so,
with none of the Inconvenience of
the city.
Columbia people have the culture
that demands good clothes. proper
and diversified foods, fine furniture,
and the best in everything. Columbia
merchants have the progressiveness,
Tue duu ti0 6oou
sense to supply these wants. You
can use nothing but Columbia sold
goods in your house, wear Columbia
bought clothes, do all your trading at
home and compare anything you
have with what your friends of SINH
lar circumstances in the city have.
There must be something more
than local sentiment to make people
trade at home. There must be equal
ity of opportunity. Price and quality
are the great things that decide pur-
chases. When Columbia people come
to learn that price and quality cannot
be beaten by sending out of town,
there will be no more Columbia bank
drafts circulating among mail order
houses in the cities.
Give the local merchants the ben
eft of the doubt.

The Southern Woman and Work

1t has taken nearly half a century
over the slavery habit of thought
concerning women and work. For it
was slavery far more than an ener-
waiting climate that engendered that
deep-rOOted Southern aversion to la
Dor for women and set it down in the
most infleXible of all laws, the de-
crees of public opinion. that a lady
shall not work for her living.
1t is natural that it should have
been SO. Labor in the South before
the War-and there was only one
kind. plantation labOr-was done by
slaves of despised race. The white
workers had to take his place be-
side them or not at all. So work of
any sort came to be discredited, es-
pecially for that exotic creature, the
Southern woman. for whom black
hands tOiled that hers might be more
white. Long after slavery had passed
the tradition continued, as traditions
have way of doing. In many cases
the old Southern wealth disappeared
with its servants, but still to be res
pected the Southern woman had to
be idle. She might be ever so capa-
BILE, ever SO strong, even ever so de-
sirOus, her social position was gone
when she tried to take her place in
the march of progress. Only two
fields of usefulness We're open to her,
the business of being a hostess and
a mother, and literature is filled
with the charm and ardor with which
she succeeded in these.
The expression shabby genteeP'
must have originated in the South
during this time. The ravages of the
war left broken families and for

ports given in your papers any facts
about the methods the club intends
to use in bringing to a successful con-
summation its plans for home buy
ers. There are, as one of our min
listers expressed it, three classes of
people whom the Columbia preacher
must serve: those who live north of
Broadway; those who live on Broad
way. and those who live south of
Broadway. For some time the gro
GERS of the town have faced the same
problem, solving it, | am informed,
by varying the prices to suit the dis
trict. My friends tell me every lit
tie while how they pay So for the
flour that costs me $4. On inquiry,
find that they secure such cOnces-
siOns by interviewing their grocer
and threatening to deal elsewhere if
prices are not made satisfactory.
One gentleman makes out his mail
order list, takes it to the merchant,
and inquiries how far he is willing to
meet it.
Such condition of affairs excites
my wrath and is the final prod that
sends me to my mail-Order house, be-
fore whose inexorable price list my
neighbor and | stand alike. | re-
member now that during the latest
ascendency of the Sugar Trust l paid
only five cents pound for the best
granulated sugar, refined by Have

plies, Its belly bacon" So much
the better for me, since there are no

streakings of fat and lean between

low label chocolate. buy in Chicago
for twenty-eight cents a pound, in
Columbia it would cost me fOrty-five.
Comparisons are OdiOus. l wish to
add. however, that | do not need to
buy in large quantities to get these
reductions and that the mail-Order
house does not increase the price of
other commodities to make up for
the lost cost of the articles men
toned.

cial Club tell me how to deal sue
