FIVE.YEAR STYLES.

The Missouri school laws allow
changes in the textbooks used i'm the
public schools only once in five wears
in order to save the expense of buy
ing new books that a new teacher
might wish. This policy. while it
may save money for the people. may
hamper the teaching ability of the
instructor.
The tive-year period might with
profit be applied to styles. which now
change two or three times a year. 1t
certainly would save money for the
husband and father. He would not
have to dig down into his pocket for
che latest styles in dresses and hats
every little while.
1t would benefit the women by do
ing away with the envy with which
they view their neighbors' new
dresses. They would not have to
worry about being in style. for with
a five-year period everyone could
afford to be dressed in the prevailing
mode.

NEW COURSES AND SUCCESS.

The semester will soon end. Most
students will make a new selection
of courses.
The success or failure of most of
US depends on this selection. The
number who are able to succeed at
anything they undertake unfortu-
nately is small
In that selection lies the future.
Happiness depends on it.
Life itself is a question of selec-
tion. The few successful men have
made happy selections. They have
picked what they were best adapted
for. Generally it also was what they
liked best. The interest taken in any
line of endeavOr depends on how
well We like it,
And on this interest depends how

Viewpoints
School Politics.

Editor the Missourian:-Eve
since the days when We first began to
hear of college We have heard stor-
les of the political game played by
students of various classes and or
ganizations. We have heard of sue
cesses and defeats of members of
various factions and the manner in
which they We're accomplished. But
these stories come either from pre-
viOus generations or from students
of other universities than Missouri.
The political game at Missouri is
practically dead. The class spirit
amounts to little. We know nothing
of the enthusiasm and spirit of which
We have always heard so much.
Probably at no other institution of
like size in the whole country is
there as little interest in student
affairs.
School spirit and class spirit add
vigor and spice to college life. WITH
out them. interest dies Representa-
tive ability should be recognized or
no attempt should be made to con-
tinue class and department organiza-
tions. The heads of these institutions
should be persons to whom one
might look for leadership, men who
have done something to warrant
holding the positions of honor.

FARMERS LIKE THE LECTURES
One Man Told How He Appreciated
Horticultural Meetings.


When Prof. J. C. Whitten finished
the last lecture on horticulture of
Farmers Week, AN elderly man arose
and expressed his appreciation of the
lectures. He said:
Il wish to thank you and the pro-
fessor of the horticultural depart
ment for the trouble you have taken
for the benefit of farmers. have
got more out of these lectures than
double the railroad fare of coming
to Columbia"
Everyone applauded the remarks.
Professor Whitten returned the COM
pliment by saying. 81 am sure the
work has been no trouble at all
in fact it has been a pleasure to me.
am glad that you appreciate the lee
ture. and | sincerely hope that you
can be with us next year during Far

THE POLITICAL PROPHET.

We are again undergoing that per-
iod in which the political prophet
reigns supreme. Called forth by the
oncoming presidential campaign. he
has already begun to tell us what
will be the outcome: and he is here
to stay until the last returns are in.
when he may join the ranks of those
who loudly proclaim 81 told you so"
or the vast number who complain
that 1T might have been if"
He is everywhere and everybody.
Here he takes the form of business
man and capitalist, there he is the
ditch digger and laborer Sometimes
he is the emplOye and sometimes the
employer and in many cases he is
neither. Age makes no difference
and nationality or color does not ex-
clude him. Wherever one NAV go he
prevails and his voice may be heard
above all others. And there is no way
of silencing him.

BETTER FIRE PROTECTION.

Columbia has made wonderful ad-
vancement the Fast ten years.
Streets have been paved. new busi-
ness buildings constructed. a new
court house and new high school
completed. the railroads have built
Lew stations and improved their ia
cilitieS and in numerous other lines
marked Improvements have been
made.
Despite the fact that the wealth of
the city has increased materially and
the size and number of its buildings
demand greater fire protection. the
city's fire department has not grown
with the city. In many respects. Co.
lumbia is far ahead of sister cities
of the same size in Missouri and ad-
joining states but the city's fire
fighting facilities are not above the
average by any means.
A few thousands of dollars spent
in building up a fire department is
certain to result in the saving of

How Missouri Was Carved Ont

allel SO degrees north latitude, run
ming thence west to the St. Francois.
river, thence up in the middle of the
main channel thereof to parallel 81
degrees 80 minutes, and thence west
on this parallel to a point where q
meridian line extended due north
would intersect the mouth of the
Kansas river, thus moving the boun-
Diary west about four townships
from what was laid down in the orig.
inal petition.
On the north the boundary line
was fixed where this meridian line
would be intersected by a parallel of
latitude which passed through the
rapids of the Des Moines river-and
thus on the north the boundary was
curtailed fro mthe memorial to Con-
gress SO as to exclude a little more
than one tier of counties now in
Iowa. In 1887 the state was still
further enlarged by the addition of
the "Platte Purchase" what is now
the northwest corner, and one of the
most fertile spots in the whole state.
Including this section was largely a
matter of substituting a natural
boundary for an artificial one.
In the thirties trouble began with
Iowa concerning the north boundary.
The point in question was where the
Des MOines rapids We're located, the
starting point mentioned for that
boundary line. Any number of in
cidents came up while the dispute
was going on, even a sheriff of Mis-
souri, being arrested at one time by
a sheriff of Iowa because he had
tried to make an arrest in the de-
batable territory. He never served
a term of Imprisonment. however.
Tax-dodgers and persons seeking
to avoid the law for any reason saw
great possibilities in this trouble. |
They were MissOurians until officers |
came after them. then they were in |
Iowa territory and under it's juris-
dictiOn. Things were carried to such |
extremes that they finally became
and were made much sport |
Of, in such incidents. for example, as
the Honey War;" where a man cut
some bee trees on the disputed strip
and was sued in the Iowa courts.
Judgment went against him for
s1.5O for damage and costs. and the
Incident called forth a poem on the
subject which was printed in the
Palmyra Whig. 1t started off in this
ashton and was to be sung to the
une of Yankee Doodle:
Ye freemen of the happy land,
Which flows with milk and honey,
Arise. To Arms, Your ponies
mount.
Regard not blood or money.
Old Governor Lucas. tiger-like.
Is prOwling round our borders, n
But Governor BOggs is wide
awake,
Just listen 10 his orders:
Three bee trees stand about the
line,
Between our state and Lucas,
Be ready, all those trees to fell,
And bring things to a focus"
The line was finally surveyed to
and as it is today and iron posts set
mile apart now mark the boundary,
reventing any chance for argument :
5 to just where Missouri ends and
IVA begins.

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a
Simple Remedy for Dandruff,
Falling, Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers had dark,
glossy hair at s~eventy-five. while our
mothers are gray before they are fifty.
Our grandmothers kept their hair soft
and glossy with a Sage Tea" which
also restored the natural color.
One objection to using such a prepar-
alton was the trouble of making it.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York, who has placed on the market a
superior preparation of Sage, combined
with Sulphur and other valuable m
dies for %dandruff, itching scalp. and
thin, weak, falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends more
on Its rich, even shading than any
thing else. Don't have dry, harsh
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the, color in a
few days; and don't be tormented with
dandruff, itching scalp and loose, fall
ing hairs. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy viii quickly correct these
troubles, and give, color, strength and
beauty to your hair.
Get a fifty cen bottle from your
druggist today, and prove this to your

under guarantee that the money will

actly as represented. Special agent,

The suit a.tracted unusual interest.
Miss Kusant and the former Miss Min
nie Casson, of this city, were the lead
ing figures. They were formerly
friends. One was engaged to be mar
ried to the young nan who was the
defendant in the suit and the other
was to be her bridesmaid. Wilkie suf-
fered a change of heart, transferred
his affections to the bridesmaids o-be
and married her instead of the girl Of
his original choice.
Miss Kusant testified hat she had
been keeping company" with Wilke
since 1905, when she was 10 years of
age. They met at a business college
where they were studying. On Sep
TENDER 10, 1909, they became engaged
and the event was celebrated with a
party. All the younger social set or
Passaic were in attendance. The mar
riage was to have taken place the
Following June, but Mr.. Vogel, who
was to have been best man, died and

she became heartbroken and was un-
der a nervous strain for three months.
