SELL CITY LINE;
HE'S ONLY ONE


G. Alien Daie's resolution intro
duced at the council meeting Mon
day IL stu the merriest topic OF
discussion on tap at the city hall.
All that Dale proposed was tho
following:
That the Seattle Electric
Co. buy tho Lake BurIen and
Division A lines from tho
city.
That the Seattle Electric Co.
also buy the Renton line. Dale.
however. did not insist that
100000 must be paid.
That the Seattle Electric
Co. build extensions In the Bal.
lard district. Avalon way, north
OF the university. and other
sections where II now refuses
20 build because there isn't
enough money In II for the prl.
vste company.
In other words. Dale's plea is to
abandon municipal ownership of
railways entirely because. he says.
II is losing $4,000 a month, and to
give the Seattle Electric Co. an alb
solutely complete monopoly.
The resolution went TO the city
utilities committee. which consists
OF Councilmen Erickson. Lundy
Marble and Ilesketh.
From all indications. Dale VIII

LOVERS OF CHOCOLATE HERE
Columbia People Like This Flavor at
the Soda Fountains.

Columbia people and students in
chocolate. Seventy-five per cent Of
all orders at Columbia ice cream par
lors are for chocolate in some form.
The most popular sundaes are choco-
late. The favorite drink, aside from
one widely advertised drink, is chOcO-
late matted milk.
The sundae has taken the place of
ice cream soda. Two years ago fifty
per cent of the orders were for ice
cream sodas. Now the confectioners
say they do not average more than
three sodas a week. Various sundaes
are popular at certain seasons of the
year. Last month crushed strawberry
held the day. Then fresh cherry sun
daes were popular. Just now canta-
loup sundaes are favorites. There is
a constant effort to get new names for
sundaes. Some of the newest are:
"I-beg- your pardon" Town Talk"
"Nesselrode Pudding Tin Roof
Special Columbia Girl" 'Ish-Ka-
Bibble." "Snowballs" and the Tango"
Lemonade has not lost its popu-
larity. One fountain uses a hundred
lemons day. On hot days buttermilk
is a favorite Names for drinks are
not as prevalent as for ice cream
mixtures. The Chocolate Lolly-Pop'
and tango julep" are the latest.
The customer now is allowed to
direct the making OF his sundae or
drink Most of the orders are for
whipped cream and nut mixtures. The
queerest order given is for sliced to-
matoes and ice cream. The proprie-
tors say this custom of ordering is
doing away with the advertised
specials.

NO TINE TO TALK TO YOU
Fastest Barber Has Shop at Roche
port,

A shave in three minutes Three
"swipes' and it's all over,
That is the time that Hugo Deit-
rich, barber in Rocheport, spends
on each of his customers. When he
is in hurry he shaves persons in
less time than that. Because of his
speed. he is able to run a barber shop
without much help. He seldom has
any other BARRIERS in the shop.
On one occasion when man had to
catch a train in seven minutes. Deit-
rich shaved him and the man walked
four blocks and caught his train be-
fore it had pulled out. He is able to
shave man before the average bar
ber has lathered the mans face. Deit-
rich is probably the fastest barber
i'll Missouri, not only on shaves. but on
haircuts. Just what his record is on
this is not known but other BARRIERS
say he has a haircut finished before
they have even gotten started.
Mr. DIETRICH does not like to cash
checks or change large bills for peo-
pie. If they have nothing else, he
will charge them for changing the
bills for them. This is especially true
if customer wishes change before a
bank holiday. As likely as not he
will pay 80 cents for a shave if he is
not lucky enough to have the exact
change in his pocket Mr.. DIETRICH
has been running a barber shop in
RochepOrt for the last thirty-five
years.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

The Columbia fair is now in pro-
gress. For four days of each year
this fair brings to Columbia people
from the surrounding country who are
enabled to get agricultural education.
TO amuse people is not the chief OBJ
ject of a fair; it has educational ad
yantages that are valuable because
they instruct. Some do not realize
that there are other attractions at the
fair besides the horse races and the
pike. 1t is natural that interest is
centered around these because OF the
excitement which American people
crave.
Prizes are offered as an incentive
to better raising of stock and poultry
by the farmers around Columbia, who
gain materially from such exhibits.
The household arts have not been neg
iected and the exhibits of cooking.
sewing and other accomplishments are
awarded prizes and so stimulate an
interest in these things. The managers
of fair are performing a public serv-
ice by showing exhibits that are ed
ucatiOnal in character. Increasing
the value of a farmers efforts by hav-
ing him strive for better results is
going toward the betterment of the
community.

4 BROTHERIN-LAW COST $50
Columbia Greek Tells of a Custom In
His Native Country.

How would you like to pay $3.50 for
brother-in-law? Such is the custom
in Metsovo, Greece, the home of Jack
KassarOs, who owns a shoe shining
stand at 919 Broadway.
We pay from $500 to $1,000 to the
men who marry our women, said
Jack. Il paid $3.50 so my sister could
marry. This custom has been observ-
ed by the Greeks for generations"
The Kassaros home is in the State
of Epirus, which until the end of the
Balkan War, in 1912, was under Tur-
kish rule. Since that time peace has
never been completely established.
Il sent a brother back home to fight
in that war" said Jack. "and he was
killed. l don't want to go over there
and have that happen to me. I've
been here five years and never ex-
pect to go back.
Il like America better than | do
Greece because there is more money
here. Sometimes | take in as much
as $50 to 800 a week in shining
shoes
In Greece it costs less for him to
live. There he has only to earn his
clothing, for Jacks father is a farmer.
But he prefers to pay higher prices
here. for in the end he makes more
money.
Jack likes the American women. He
says that many of them come to his
shop for 'shines" and that they are
polite and jolly and spend a great deal
of money.

THE LOAFER.

To the man of normal mind and
health about the oldest character tC
be found in the human race is the
habitual loafer-a man wholly de-
void of energy. ambition, ideals or any
definite purpose in life Yet every
community has its full share of these
men, enough of them to prevent class
flying them as rare specimens. They
are taken as a matter of course and
no sympathy is wasted on them. They
are not looked upon the same as the
average person who is defective in
mind or body; they hold the same
place in relation to society as their
more fortunate brothers and no dis
grace is attached. Still. are they not
committing a crime against society
and doing as much harm to their daily
companions as those who infringe
against the law?
Keep away from the loafer. You
may catch the germ. Once in your
system it is as hard to throw off as the
most malignant fever. Protect your
self and do your part by society in
avoiding the loafer and putting him
in his proper places.
Whether in school or out of school.
there are always the same remarkable.
unmistakable marks by which he is
easily tOld-he is the man with many
excuses and a tumble of ideas which
are never executed. The loafer knows
better than anyone else, in his own
mind, how things should be done. but
no one ever heard of him ever doing
any of these things himself He is the .
professional faultffnder. the man with .
plenty of criticism and sarcasm. His .
utterances are often brilliant but one
considers them lightly when he stops
TO consider the character of the per-
son who says them. OF course, he
thinks he is enjoying life but what is
the joy of duties. worth while, unac-
cOmplished to that of work well
done. The joy of life properly lived
practically in every case is not in the
side-line pleasures but in the every
day life work of the man.

PLUNGE As CLOCK STRIKES
No Time Lost BY Boys In Diving Into
Y. VI, &. A. Pool

'Aw, come on and set the clock up
a little so We can go in swimmin'
This is what the secretary of the
Y. NJ. c. A. is asked to do three days
out of the week just before the swim
ming class for young boys is opened
at 10 o'clock. The youngsters come
into the building an hour before it is
time for their class to begin and
amusa themselves by playing check
ers or billiards. But about half the
time is taken up by looking at the
clock and figuring out how much long
er they will have to wait
Promptly at 10 o'clock there is
rush for the basement. Most of the
undressing is done on the way down
stairs so that no time will be lost in
getting into the shower baths and
then into a pool. There is always a
line waiting for the diving board.
There are about twenty boys in
this class. None of them is over IA
years old. Besides these two small
boys come with their father. Horace
Weltmer has charge of this class
which meets Monday. Wednesday and
Friday mornings There is another
class which meets at 8 o'clock Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday mornings.
This class is for boys who are from
IA to Il years old The pool is open
to men every afternoon.
