while Narration hopes gradually to
bring the standard of living up to
what he thinks it ought to be. The po-
litical situation between England and
Germany is SO critical that any trou-
BILE in Great Britain would be an Op-
portunity for Germany to declare war.
So the Prime Minister invites Narration
to his home and puts the conditions
before him.
Narration meets Lady Elizabeth, a
niece of the Minister. and the two fall
in love- His regard for her does not
prevent him from breaking with her
uncle, however. when the government
does not do as he wishes.
The general strike is called but not
because of the bribe. Immediately the
country is plunged into distress. which
is increased by rumors of German
attack. Quick action is necessary to
avert disaster.
The book is typical Oppenheim
novel. Its chief value is in the light it
throws upon the beliefs of socialism

heated discussion Zone would call il

the merits and demerits of the Rev
William Sunday, one-time ball player

We have no commission to defend

one-sided argument. il is enjoyable
just from the standpoint of debate.
to present a few points on the other
side.
They say that Billy" is not dig
nified, and that he is blasphemous. We
recall that the same argument was a
favOrite one with a certain class
known as the Pharisees. They tell
Mr.. Sunday that he should not be so
harsh in his remarks. He answers
that otherwise he would not deliver
his message to any more people than
his accusers do.
The former baseball star calls
things rotten and filthy" and says
that certain people are crooks and
four-f1ushers When upbraided. he
inquiries if such words are not the
modern Interpretation of the spirit
which made Jesus call men "whited
sepulchers" and tell them that with
in they were full of dead mems bones.
Sunday says that he wants to be sure
that he is understood and everyone
knows the meaning of the words he
uses.
Billy" says that some people wear
out ten pairs of hold-back straps to
one pair of tugs. He tells the ministers
that they are sinners tor emphasizing
the church to the detriment of
Christianity. For person to join
the church no more makes him a
Christian than running a wheel-bar-
row into garage makes it an auto
mobile"
But one would not say that anyone
else should initiate Mr.. Sunday. 1t
is the spirit and not the words which
are the big test. There was only one

SAVE COLUMBIA'S TREES.

Walk over Columbia and look at its
shade trees. You will notice at once
the great number of old. broken and
dying trees. Some of the younger
trees have been broken by storms and
allowed to stand untouched. Young
trees are growing up in haphazard
way.
Columbia is generally regarded as a
city of many trees, but this condition
will not be for long unless better care
is taken of them. A conscientious
movement should be started to clean
out these lifeless old trunks and sup
plant them with healthy young trees.
II necessary tree surgeon should be
employed to tend to those young and
still capable of growth and long life.
A tree is too valuable and takes too
long to grow to be allowed to die of
neglect
a beautiful city is as much to be de-
sired as beautiful private dwelling
or a prosperous business. A beautiful
city reacts on every home, on every
individual, in it. 1t creates a sense
of pleasure and contentment not to be
had otherwise. And one of the first
requisites of a beautiful city is shady
streets and lawns.
Situated as it is in a broad plain,
there is no need, in fact no excuse, for
Columbia ever growing into a con-
gested city. AS population demands
more area, the city should be built on
plans that provide broad streets, am
pie lawns and plenty of shade. Modern
rapid transportation has made it I'M
necessary to crowd city into a small
place, and Columbia need not fear
growing too far away from the bust
ness district.
Finally. aside from the benefit beau
tiful shade trees give to COlumbians
now. it is the duty of the citizens to
see that Columbia of the future is
not made a barren and treeless place.

SWAT THE FLY EARLY.

Someone has said that the fly is the
most abused animal and that he de-
serves it all and more. But there is
no need to dilate on the awful deeds
of the small winged monster. Any
person can observe carefully for an
hour and become convinced of all
which could be said.
But there is an added incentive to
swat the first flies of the season.
Homer Croy told, when he was here
recently. of the study which he had
made concerning the pest. He said
that every fly which he killed in the
spring meant a bushel basket-full of
flies less in the middle of the summer
That's about 100000 flies.
That is another good thing to be
said for cleanup day 1t will de-
strOy many of the breeding places of
the insect. So let's buy some sticky
paper. poison and swatters and get
busy early.
II will at least save much incOnven-
ience. and may mean a saving of life.
Become a "swat-the-fy" fiend.

submitted. to-wit:
First-The election of two men,
bers of the Board of Directors to

Second-To increase the annual
rate of taxation (Which is fixed by

poses.
Done by order of the Board of Di-
rectors of the School District of Co.
lumbia. Missouri. at a meeting held
March 9th, 1914.
JOHN l.. HENRY.
Secretary.
y. B.-The levy submitted for school
purposes is not an increase over
that of last year but is an increase
over the amount that may be levied
by the school board without the
vote of taxpayers being had. Under
the law the school board can only
levy up to 40c on the 800 without
such vote. The levy submitted this
year is the same levy that has been
voted for the past four or five wears
and if the proposition carries the
rate of taxation for school pur-
poses will be the same as in 1919.

of the British Raj, and with her two
small hands and woman's mind she
must find him! Always the mysterious
packet lay close to her heart, never
for a moment was it beyond the reach
of her hand. Her fathers freedom!
The rusty metal sides of the ship
scraped against the pier and the gang
plank was lowered; and presently the
tourists flocked down with variant
emotions, to be besieged by fruit SELL
ers, water carriers, cabmen, blind peg
CARS, and manned, naked little chill
dren with curious, insolent black eyes,
women with infants straddling their
hips, stolid Cinnamon: riot OF color
and bewildering babel OF tongues.

about her feet directed the driver to

Kathlyn began her journey at once.
Now that she was on land, moving to-
ward her father, all her vigor returned.
She felt strangely alive, exhilarated'
She knew that she was not going to
be afraid of anything hereafter. To
enter the strange country without haV-
ing her purpose known would be the
main difficulty. Where was Ahmed
all this time? Doubtless in cell like
his master.
Three days later she stood at the
frontier, and her servant set about
arguing and bargaining with the ma
bouts to engage elephants for the three
days' march through jungles and
| mountainous divides to the capital.
Three elephants were necessary.
There were two howdah elephants and
one pack elephant, who was always
tagging behind. Through long aisles OF
magnificent trees they passed, across
hot blistering deserts, dotted here ard
there by shrubs and stunted trees, in
and out of gloomy defiles of fiinty
rock. over sluggish and swiftly flowing
streams. The days were hot, but the
nights were bitter cold. Sometimes a
blue miasmic haze settled down, and
the dry, raspy hides of the elephants
grew damp and they fretted at their
chains.
