REVISING THE CALENDAR.

What was that? Revise the cal
endar to do away with leap-year?
Oh. yes. A scientist has discovered a
more practical way of reckoning
time.
Well. it might be more convenient
to have all of the months the same
length. No more scratching of heads
to recall that Thirty days hath Sep
tember" rhyme.
But how thick-headed some of
these scientists are. Anyone should
see at a glance that such a plan is
out of the question.
Surely, if the proposition We're put
squarely to this scientist he would
see the folly of his attempt Can it
be that in this day of the prOclaiming
of equal rights by the women he be-
lieves they would ever consent to the
abolition of leap-year?
Never, Mr. Scientist. Revise your
plan to make every year leap-year
if you want it to succeed.

STATE FIRST IN LIVE STOCK
Prof. TrOwbridge Shows Advantage

of the College of Agriculture. in a
lecture on Missouri as a Live Stock
State Located. as she is, between
the producing West and the cOnsum-
ing East, she is the natural ground
for fitting fhe raw material for mar
ket.
kansas City is the doorway to
the great Northwest. Cattle and
sheep that supply the meat-eating
people of America come largely from
the West. They are shipped to Kan
sas City to be fattened in the corn
belt.
On the natural road to the consum-
ing East, stands Missouri, with her
large acreage of corn and hay and
her unequalled bluegrass pasture,
ready to fit this stock for market.
Missouri has had an important
place in livestock production ever
since the Civil War. The men who
bring their stock to Kansas City
from the West look to Missouri.

COLUMBIA OR ST. LOUIS?

Where does your pay check come
from, Mr.. Columbian?
Where does your husband make
his money, Mrs. Columbian?
If your income is derived from ST.
Louis or Chicago or New York, then
your interests are naturally centered
in one of those cities. However, if
you depend for your living upon Co.
lumbia. upon the prosperity and the
advancement of this city, your in
terests are centered here.
Where do you buy your clothes.
your furniture. your groceries, your
luxuries and your necessities? If
you buy them in St. Louis or Chicago
or New York, you should bid good
bye to your money, for you may ney-
er see that same coin again. If you

buy in Columbia. your bill circulates
around among the butcher. the ba-
ker. the theater owner, the banker,
and the first thing you know it is in
your possession again.
Suppose you can buy a little
cheaper in the city" BY the time
you have paid express and helped
the city merchant with his expensive
rent you will probably, find that you
could have bought it cheaper at
home-but suppose you can buy
cheaper in st. Louis. Suppose every
one in town follows the same policy.
Where are you going to get your pay
check when the grass begins to grow
on Broadway?
So much for what you lose by city
shopping What do you gain? Count
all your expenses and see if you can
buy any article, quality and style
any cheaper away from
home. The next time you plan
city shopping trip, try visiting the
Columbia stores and then compare
results. You may be surprised at the
shopping opportunities of this town.

KEMPSTER ABANDONS
Kills Chickens by Penetrating Brain
With Knifp-Safer and Quicker.


With Knife-Safer and Quicker.
"A chicken can be killed, and dry
picked quicker than one can heat the
water, scald the chicken and pick
it wet" This statement was made
by Prof. Fl. l.. Kempster in his DEM
Onstration of killing and dressing
poultry yesterday at the live stock
building. Dry picking is much more
desirable. It is cleaner, and makes
the chicken more tempting.
II is said that a dry picked chicken
will keep several days without los
ing its rich color. On the other hand
chicken scalded before picking is
not preferred in the market. 1t
does not present an attractive ap-
pearance because bruises become
very noticeable. and the skin loses
its color.
