In behalf of your many friends with their full and heart felt wishes.

GIVES A FAUST .PUPPENSPIEL,
German Club Presents OH Style OF
PLAY on Miniature Stage.

The program of the German Club
last night consisted of Faust Pup
penspiel." A miniature stage had been
erected in the psychology lecture room
in Academic Hail. The actors were
small dolls or puppets.
This type of play was common in
Germany during the Thirty Years War
and for some time after. At first the
Faust plays were acted by wandering
bands of English minstrels but gradu-
ally became more and more German
lied. During the Thirty Years War
theaters and players were replaced by
miniature stages and puppets, and the
parts spoken by one or two people.
These plays probably inspired Goethe
to write his immortal "Faunst."
The persons who spoke the various
parts last night were L. NJ. Price. A.
L. Saeger, c. W. Book, c. F. Dienst
and A. C. Saeger The puppets were
manipulated by Mr. and Mrs. Price.

Judge David H. Harris of the Boone
County Circuit Court has saved the
taxpayers more than $1,000 during the
year by following a simple plan of dis
missing unnecessary jurors. OF
course $4,000 is a small sum when
compared with the taxable property
OF the county, but if every public Off

proportionate savings in the admins

Is THIS TO YOU!

Some students have been waiting for
the football season TO end so they
could commence studying. Others put
their work off. especially such things
as semester papers, until after
Thanksgiving. Then there are some
who always wait until the last half OF
any semester to dig into their work.
To all three classes it might be
hinted that the studying time has ar
rived. A low average can be helped a
great deal before the end OF the sem
ester. And there's a chance for even
the lowest if he will apply himself.
Excuses for loafing are out of the
question now. There aren't any. 1t
is time to work.

Chicago pickpockets reaped large
harvest of purses at the International

funds.
Whether the tall buildings proved
too much for the Missouri students is
not known. but several say that the
bill that they had pinned. or otherwise
held, in their clothes, was gone at
night.

CHANCE FOB AN ARGUMENT.

One man is dead and another is Sc
rfously injured as the result of an ar

proceeded to mutilate the arm of an
other guest. who in turn grabbed the
weapon and succeeded in cleaving the
skull OF a third guest.
Socialism, like other political par
ties and principles, must have some
rather debatable clauses in it-at
least, some principles that admit OF
discussion.

A TOWN MANAGER.

The commission form of government
has demonstrated that concentration
and expert officials can increase the
efficiency of government and decrease
the cost of running city. And now
a town in Kansas, Abiline, has found
that the employment of a competent
engineer, who is a good business man
ager as well, to look after all the bus
mess of the city is saving them money
and getting much better work done,
too.
The town first tried the commission
form of government and found it big
improvement. But the salaries were
not sufficient TO attract good business
men to the Office, or the duties too
numerous for the public-spirited citi-
zen to try to handle them along with
his regular business, so Alkaline hired
a civil engineer, then doing some paw
ing work, to look after the job of man
aging the towns business. OF course
the commission still attends to the
government
The plan has proved successful. All
the construction work on water mains,
lights, paving, sidewalks and every
thing that the city has to do is in
his hands and he is responsible for the
expenditures. He reports weekly to
the commission He takes the place
of the city engineer street commits
sioner and does a part of the work
of the city clerk 1t is a good plan
for the small city.
