INDIANA'S SUCCESS.

Indiana. before Missouri, established
public utilities commission that has
shown what may be expected in this
state. For long time the regulation
OF public utilities was a serious prob
lem in Indiana. Public opinion was
radically divided, legitimate enter
prises were hampered and the public
service suffered as a result.
The people of Indiana, like those of
many other states, discovered as a re-
suit OF bitter experience that coopera-
ton instead of antagonism should
mark the relations between public
service companies and the public. 1t
is the understanding that a public SER
vice corporation should be strong and
efficient in order TO give the most
satisfactory service.
The new concept considers good will
an indispensable asset. Laws must be
administered from the standpoint of
their purpose, not with mechanical
rigidity. The public and the utility
corporation have a union of interests
Only the recognition of a status of
this kind can successfully ward off
government and state ownership.
With men of high character and of ad-
qualifications in charge of this
new work, Missouri should be success
full in solving many of its perplexing
problems.

CUBIST ART IN BASEBALL.

1t seems from the thorough expli-
cations made of the subject in the
last few months that there are great
possibilities in cubist art OF course
you must be coached. guided, in
structed and even cajoled before you
can be expected to grasp with cer-
tainty the point which the cubist
artist means to convey. You must rise
to the height of artistic understanding
or you may blunderingly mistake his
portrayal of beautiful sunrise for a
construction of building blocks.
1t is absolutely essential 10 the
proper appreciation that you have the

Life.
There are cubist reporters as well
as cubist artists. The particular ex-
ponent of the new art is the sporting
editor. He hammers forth a column
OF choice phrases with a variety Of
words. He tells of the baseball game
with vividness-to the initiated.
You must have the cubist viewpoint
when you scan the story Of the game.

Every Track Event i'm Meet will Have
60 or More Entries.

The entry list in the high school
track meet is the most representative
we have ever had for any High School
Day, said Prof. c. l.. Brewer this
morning. There are seventy-eight
men entered in the half-mile. Every
event has from sixty-five to seventy
five entries.
I'm the 1OO-yard dash it will be
necessary to have six preliminaries,
three semi-fnals, one second semi
final and the final. In the quarter
mile and the half-mile, two separate
races will have to be run. You can
not expect a high school man to run
two races in these events so there
can be no preliminaries. Prizes will
be given in each race just the same
as if the race was the only ONE
The entry list is now closed. The
following high schools and academies
are entered: Clinton, Kennett, Mt.

THE VALUE OF SKILL.

There was a time when native force
and brute strength counted most in
tests for accomplishment. But each
day finds the greater laurels coming
to those who have attained mastery
by training and skill. This is true in
trials of supremacy even in such
games as football, wrestling and box
ing Well-trained muscles directed by
a trained mind and supported by a
clean body are at the top in ath-
letics.
Skill counts even more in industry
and business. Trained faculties and
determination to use all the ability
that one has are at a premium in the
struggle for success. All men are not
endowed with equal ability. Some
have a dull AK while others are gifted
with a keen one. But sometimes those
with the sharper tools accomplish the
least work If the man with the
dull AK uses all his energy while the
man with the sharp uses only a part,
then in the end the man with the
dull AK will perform the greater
a Movements.

THE AEROPLANE IN WARFARE.

The value of the aeroplane i'm war

rol Of the air will labor under all the
