JASPER COUNTY'S MINERS.

The lead and zinc mines of Jasper
County differ in many respects from
the mines of any other quarter
of the world. The content of the
miners and the lack of all labor dis
putes distinguishes this Southern
Missouri mining community.
All labor in the mines of Jasper
County is by native Americans. No
foreigners are allowed to enter in COM
petition. There are no labor unions
and the men are paid higher wages
than at many other places where labor
unions have been made necessary by
unjust economic conditions.
\ reason for this satisfaction among
the workers possibly is due to the
spirit in which these rich mines have
been developed. a majority of them
have been prospected from early days
by men of the community. Home capi-
tai has furnished the backing. AS a
result the mines today are owned by
the men who formerly worked with
pick and shovel and who know the
dangers connected with the work or
the man who is dropped each day
into the earth. They have not lost the
spirit Of brotherhood. Where the en-
ployer is just the cmploye is found
so, too.

THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN.

The new drinking fountain which
was placed on Broadway through the
influence of the women of the W. G.
r. L. is small improvement but,
nevertheless, il is one of great value.
Ii will b. used by more people each
day perhaps than any other accOmmo-
dation that could be provided.
The fountain is a fitting symbol OF
the organization and cause whose
influence placed it there. Ii not only
suggests principle but it aids in
establishing that principle. The ex-
cuse of actual thirst should never be
permitted TO lead men to intemper-
ance.
The women of the ". c. T. L. are
TO be congratulated upon this gift TO
the city.

attractions, there was the meeting OF
the Missouri Women's Federation OF
Clubs. Stunt Week will no doubt
cause a large crowd of the alumni TO
return. In the summer months there
is the Boone County Fair, lodge cele-
brations and numerous other enter
tainments which bring out-of-town Wis
itors. But where will ye put all OF
these persons? How have we taken
care of them in the past? If it had
not been for hospitable citizens OF
Columbia, many visitors would have
been left to sleep OH the streets.
The town is too large for the hotels
it has. IL has improved its streets,
sidewalks, its business buildings, but
it has forgotten adequately to improve
its hotels. A hotel will advertise
town quicker and better than any
or commercial club can do.
The first thing visitor thinks about
when visiting a neighboring town is
a good place 10 eat and sleep. If he
finds the right kind of place and is
pleased with his accommodations he is
usually pleased with the town. On the
other hand if he is poorly sheltered
and fed he will not be backward about
telling his friends.
Columbia needs a big new hotel.

THE "BOOSTER CARDS"

Like the "Old Guard" buttons that
came to help the football team, so
are the Booster Cards coming out
to help the track team. When the
football team needed rooters TO help
them win gaines, when money was low
and outside help was necessary to get
the cheering section 10 work, the Old
Guard buttons were put Oh sale. Now
that money is needed to send the
strongest track team Missouri has had
10 the Western Conference meet, the
booster Cards" are put on sale. Will
the students of the University support
their track team with the same spirit
with which they supported their foot
ball team?
Buy Booster Card" IL will put
money where il is needed in paying
the expenses of a mighty track team
that is going to bring home laurels
to Missouri. Help the track team win
this final honor Of the year.

FIRST-iN HONEST BALLOT.

Fundamental in good government in
a republic is an honest ballot. That
every citizen should be permitted 10
vote who is legally entitled TO vote
and that no person should be per-
mitted to vote who is not legally en-
titled to vote is a proposition from
which there can be no dissent.
Prosecuting Attorney Anderson
does well to investigate charges of
illegal voting in the Fourth ward cleo
ton. If votes were cast illegally, the
persons who cast them knowing them
to be illegal should be- punished. If
such votes were cast without knOwl-
edge of their illesalty, but upon ad-
vice of persons who knew such voting
to be illegal, then the advisers should
also be punished exposure if
there be no other possible punishment.
II is not enough TO make charges,
however. There should be proof,
real, substantial proof. When there
is such proof all the guilty should be
promptly and justly punished.
Surely, in Columbia there ought TO
be AN honest ballot, ballot above
suspicion

WRITING NEWSPAPER 'FEATURES''
The Presentation: Tell What You See, in a
New Way---Where the Editor
Gets His Ideas.

haired woman, was interviewed on the
subject, and many other interesting
facts along this line were developed
for a half-page story. The new re-
porter spent two days trying to find
a noted lecturer who happened to say
in a speech on poetry that such men
as Goethe and Byron should be for
given for their private sins because of
their contribution TO the world
stories i'm WOmen's Activities.
A reporter was always expected to
scare up feature stuff at club meet
ings and wOmen's conventions. These
would take the form OF stories about
interesting persons or accounts of
special undertakings that clubs had
taken up. The wOmen's clubs of the
city were always a standby for feature
material. One organization cleaned up
q section of the city, another did vacant
lot gardening and several introduced
reforms in the dress of school chill
dren.
The reporter who attended the meet
ings of the historical society of the
town always came away with his book
full of suggestions. There he met the
older residents of the city who were
always ready to tell him of the old
times or show him collections of curiOs
or relies. AT one of these meetings
he met a woman who had one of the
largest collections of old pictures in
the world and he talked with an old
lady who had been a belle fifty years
ago. and who described an early-day
ball and told how the present veterans
of the town had danced the minuet.
Holiday seasons were great times
for feature work. 1t was just week
before Christmas that the city editor
said to the new reporter: Il am not
going to give you any special assign
ments this week. You may work on
feature material about Christmas. l
want story about Christmas trees,
where they come from, how they are
selling and who are buying them l

mas presents people are getting and
how Christmas shopping is carried on.
| want a story of how the churches OBJ
serve Christmas, if methods have
changed, and if there is to be a Santa
Claus this year. Go out in the crowd,
get the spirit. and bring in something
of human interest"
The day after Christmas, the report
er was told to wind things up with
an after-Christmas story of the desert
ed downtown district.
Feature material on churches was
usually run near the close of the week.
Church nurseries and kindergartens
and novel methods of Sunday-school
teaching were interesting subjects, and
not infrequently a preacher in his Sun
day sermon would make a startling
statement, which would serve for an
interview and the basis of feature
story.
Pictures Are Important.
Pictures were the all-important
part of feature stories on this news
paper, and the stories were often
built wholly upon the basis of the
illustration. Such things as the con-
struction of great bridge, children's
games on public Fairgrounds, school
exhibits and school entertainments
made good illustrated stories. Pho

The new reporter had just finished
his Saturdays assignment at the enc
OF his first week on city newspaper
Try getting feature story this al
ternoon for Sundays edition." said the
city editor, looking over his assign,
ment book Then, noting the blank
look Oh the reporters face, he added:
"Oh. 90 out and find something to
describe that has human interest in ii.
The new reporter was still puzzled
when he reached the street. He had
not been trained in a school OF jour-
nalism and had never heard of feature
writing" as such. Ii was with great
relief that he saw the oldest reporter
OH the paper standing on the corner
and going to him. he explained the sit
uation and asked for help.
Its hard TO give definition said
the second man, but | suppose fea-
ture story is just a description of
something people are interested in.
Why don't you go out TO the Settle
ment Home this afternoon and tell
about how the Italian children are be-
ing taught manual training and ath-
letics?'
There has been a story in this week
about that" the new reporter replied.
Yes, OF course, about the classes
starting and how many were attending
and such things as that But there's
never been description of how they
are doing it, what the children think
OF it, what their parents say about it,
and the other details people want to
know. You're bound to write about
old subjects, but you can find new
ways of looking at them. Go out there
and get the human interest things
about those classes and you'll have a
good story
How to Make the Editor Smile.
After this, the new reporter got many
other intrOductiOns to feature stories.
The assistant city editor usually had a
supply of assignments for Saturday
afternoons and sometimes he would
give only general instructions to hunt
up feature story" The new'reporter
soon learned to have a list of suggest
ions in his notebook. Besides this.
he observed that the reporters who
gave the best satisfaction were those
that handed in stories OF this kind vol
unfairly. The city editor wore a smile
almost whole day because an illus
trated story Of. the gypsy camp near
the city was handed in this way.
Where the assistant city editor got
his suggestions was at first puzzle to
the reporters. However, they soon
observed that he carefully scanned
every article in the other papers of the
town and the papers of other cities
and would cut out news items which
would serve as basis for stories An
item telling of the use of platinum en-
gagement rings suggested an article on
engagement rings in general. Their
kinds. origin and meaning. The fact
that the use of leather for automobile
purposes had increased the price of
shoes brought about an interview with
the shoe merchants and a special arti-
Gle on how automobiles had increased
the cost of living.
Lectures and sermons were read
carefully TO get statements to serve as
basis for an interview. A eugenics

otherwise uninteresting speech that a
