Away With The MiddIeman.

Editor the MissOurian: Out of the
East GENES the word that the town
of Dayton. o.. has solved the middle
/ man question. Three mornings out
| of the week the farmers of that vicin-
ity bring their produce TO Dayton. but
not 10 the merchants The ground
floor of the city hall is divided into
stalls for the butchers. The farmers
market covers fourteen blocks.
From the rental of these stalls and
street space the city of Dayton re-
ceives a gOOd income. Each space is
sold at auction and the purchaser has
right 10 his space for a period Of
one year. The farmer backs his
cart TO the curbing. places his stand
and sells his goods on the street. The
merchants deal in canned goods and
staple articles instead of vegetables
and meat.
Why can't Columbia have the same
Kind OF system? 1t need not do away
with the retail merchant. He would
still have his place but it would elimi-
nate~a middleman in so far as the
fresh food supply is concerned. The
middleman has long been said to be
one of the reasons for the high cost
Of living. INTERESTED.

WEST BECOMING EAST.

Eastern styles and costumes ar;
slowly forcing their way across tn,
Mississippi Valley. Our western
manners are being affected by tn,
steady inroads of the conservative
easterner. West is becoming East in
many ways.
Columbia expresses the change.
The afternoon tea party is regarded
with more favor. The amenities of
social life add their charm. Tho
dress suit must more often be brought
from its secluded closet. University
men reflect the movement in their
clothes. The closet fitting English
suit, the flowing cravat and the rak-
ish fuzzy hats are resultants.
This fusion of eastern and western
ways has its concomitant advantages.
The free and open manner that typi-
fes the weSterner will not be lost.
He is the sort of man who will GRASP
the most beneficial conventionalities
of his eastern brother and reject his
efete habits. He can acquire a little
gloss, little elegance of manners and
become a more attractive westerner
than ever.

are other students who welcome the
addendum with hearty fervor, eager
to accomplish much.
Don't be too quick to think that you
have right to take offense at certain
things-student-sociability, for ex-
ample. Maybe it is the vehicle of re-
lieving the tedium of life to many.
Sociability is a good rule And the
student who thinks differently was
not recognized by the framer of the
rule, and escapes its jurisdiction.

One OF the valuable exhibits at the
state fair was that of the state bureau
OF weights and measures, and the
immense pile of confscated weights
and measures shown was an unpleasant
commentary on commercial standards
of today. Tt seems that there are con-
Germs which manufacture dishonest
scales and weights and Of course they
would not do that unless there was
someone to buy the stuff. A great
dead of this petty thievery EXISTS. Al
though on small scale to each in
dividual it is robbery nevertheless. The
bureau is doing good work, work
which would be unnecessary if the com
mercial world had real standards. For
turatelv the proportion of dealers who
think they need money SO badly th"t
it is necessary to steal by short
measure is after all comparatively
