University Notes

The development Of the highest
and most efficient type Of citizen is
the fundamental aim Of the University
Of Missouri. A liberal education in
the arts and sciences and training in
the professions is offered the youths
Of Missouri to prepare them for such
citizenship.
The college Of agriculture Of the
University Of Missouri ranks among
the five leading agricultural schools in
the United States.
Many students go a year to the
University Of Missouri for S225. The
average expense is about $500.
Board may be had at the University
Commons for $3.50 a week.
The University oI Missouri is dem
ocratic in its community life. The
students are sons and daughters Of
both rich and poor parents-snobs are
so scarce they're lonesome.
Students who are unable TO come to
the University Of Missouri may take
work in the University Extension
Division. This work is given by mail.

livestock which it had required feed,
shelter, care and time to raise. II
more farmers would give their little
girls a share in the livestock, and when
it is sold let them use their own money
to buy their own clothes, books and
pay for the many little luxuries they
long for, we would see fewer discon-
tented women on the farm.
The girls home training should fit
and prepare her for her life work, that
is, home making; and she would take
live interest in the farm If she had
share in the products Of the farm.
One wise father KEEP! his daughter at
home by turning the poultry raising
over into her bands; and she made it
pay, too. She had just passed the ex.
animation and received her teachers
certificate, and was planning to teach,
when her mothers health failed.
Hired help was hard to get, so she
proposed to stay at home if her father
would turn the poultry over to her,
she TO supply the table as usual, and
have all above this for her own. Her
father was only too delighted TO accept
this offer, adding that"he would give
her little spending money in addition
TO what she could thus make.
She took hold OF her work in busi-
nesslike way, paying her small broth
er for cleaning the hen house and
assisting her about the work. From
the first month she was making almost
as much as she could have made
teaching; the second year she was
clearing 81 day, and the third year
doubled what she could have cleared
as teacher. Her father belonged to
that class, Of whom there are thousands,
who feel that they have done well by
their girls il they provide plenty Of
clothes and set a good table, but
never think Of giving the girl chance
TO learn the value Of money for her
self. This girl says she was happy,
healthy and contented, and her moth
er regained her health because she
was relieved Of the care and work by
the daughter, something which would
have been impossible with iucompe-
tent hired help.
A course in a business college
would have necessitated the girls be
ing away from home, and world have
required the expenditure Of quite a sum
Of money to complete the course be-
fore she could have begun TO earn
money for herself. This course in
practical poultry raising was taken at
home. It was a paying proposition
from the beginning Of the course, and
was something that she could make
use Of when she went into her own
home as the wife OF farmer. Book
keeping or stenography is usually Of
little value after she marries. Best Of
all the girl was at home with her
mother, until she went into home Of
her own; and il there is better place
! for any girl than her fathers home, OF
better associates for her than the
parents who have loved her from in
fancy, have vet to hear Of either
Missouri Ruralist.

What the LoWIY Avoid

It always makes US quite content
and happy over not having any more
social position than a rabbit when we
reflect that if We got into the beau
monde, as we say in Ohio, we should
have to go to all the concerts and try
not to get mixed up in the course Of
the subsequent conversation as to what
roulades, arpeggios and etudes are.

Ol Independence, Mo.

Lake Taneycomo, on the White Riv-
er, May 4, 1914.
Fisherman's luck is proyerbial. Bob
Mise knows the formula. I struck it
here the first thing this morning.
Have rot wet a line This year and slip
ped away last night to see this beauti-
iul Missouri lake and spend day with
my friend Gansz Of Macon. The first
thing saw when I got of the train
was a sad-iaced man carrying fishing
pole. Says I, "How's fiahin'7" Says
he, Rotten, spawning season." So
it goes.
Twas ever thus from childhood's hap.
py hours,
I've seen my Iondest hopes decay.
No sunshine comes without its shower,
The smallest jackass has the biggest
bray,
Fishing was good last week and will
be good mex! week, but not now.

l went to Kansas City last night to
take the Carthage sleeper. Thought
l would 60 to bed and get an hours
good sleep before the train left at
midnight. I got the sleeper all right,
but at II o'clock the Shriners' ten
million dollar band arrived. They had
3 steam calliopes and every other
kind Of a noisemaking instrument
ever invented. And they all worked
at once. II anybody in the west bot
toms slept before midnight it was a
miracle. I went to sleep and dream
ed that man with a red lez and bag
gy red trousers was pouring water on
me out Of bass horn. I walked up
aud the train had stopped at Lees
Summit and the wet rain was pouring
in on me through an open window.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1914-05-14

Am only here ior a flying visit and
have not tried out the fishing but I
know it is good for I have seen at
least one string, an afternoons catch
by one party, which had a score Of
bass ranging from one pound to four
and would probably average ior the
whole string two pounds each. Like
every other fishing place those who
know how get the fish, and some days
fish don't bite and at others times they
slay them.

l spent a week once on the Nishna-
botna river. It was spawning season
and raining besides. Tom Psndergast
was there and we had pretty good
time. Tom don't wear horns and
hools like some people profess to think,
and you know all fishermen are good
fellows. His specially was rot line
fishing and he raked them in, too
big cats. We stood around and cussed
the fishing and the hotel and had
good time. But the fish were
spawning.

You know Missouri has a D cent
fare law, SO has Arkansas. A man
bought a ticket this morning from
Carthage, Mo, to Batesville, Arkan-
sas. The distance is 24l miles and he
paid cents mile-Inter'S State, you
know. II he had been an old hand at
the business he would have bought
a ticket 10 Melva, the last station in
Missouri and then when he crossed
the line bought a ticket at Cricket,
the first station in Arkansas, to Bates
vile and paid the Q cent rate for bot
tickets. Don't say anything about
this. 1t is confidential for the use Of
my friends in emergency.

This is certainly the grand place
for summer outing. Beautiful lake,
clear water, plenty Of boats, good
fishing and easy to get to. No mos
quitoes. The fish are wild and shy
but there are plenty Of them. They
are not spawning all season.

STATE PRINTING FUND
 ALMOST EXHAUSTED

Little, Rock, Feb. 6.-Tbe state printing fund is almost exhausted. Most of the departments have enough printed supplies to last four or five months, and few enough until pro- visions can be made by the next legis- lature. Whenever an office has ex- hausted it's supplies, it will have to make it's own provisions for more, as there is statute which expressly prohibits the creation of a deficit. This is about the time the fund was exhausted two years ago.

10 BUY FURNITURE FOR NEW CAPITOL FACTORIES 10 BE VISITED BUILDING CLOSED SUNDAY
 WHILE WALLS ARE BEING
 LINED WITH MARBLE.

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-The members of the State Capitol Commission have decided to start out soon on a furni- ture-buying expedition They will visit the state capitol at Jackson, Miss, and some others recently fur 'nished, and make an inspection of the furniture useda'there. They will then go into the northern furniture mar kets, at Chicago, Grand Rapids and elsewhere, for the purpose of making purchases of the bes and most mod ern fixtures for the various depart ments of the state capitol. There has been total of $96, 300 appropriated for the purpose.
 It is announced that hereafter the capitol will be closed to visitors on Sunday, until after the work now un- der way in the interior has been com pleted, which will probably be in the i late sumer. This is made necessary by the large amount of scaffolding that has been erected for the purpose of stripping the walls of plaster which is to be replaced with Alabama mar ble. The whole interior of the build ing, except the offices, is vast work shop, and the walls are bare and un- slightly. The walls of the senate and house are also being stripped, and when the Legislature meets in Jan- uary, 1915, it will be in halls lined with white marble. The setting ar engagements in both halls will be changed, providing ample space for al lthe members, clerks, and repre- sentatives of the press. Handsome marble stands will be provided for the speaker and the president, and an effort will be made to solve the acous- tic difficulties which were so annoying last session.
