PURE FOOD,

A professor in a New York state
normal school at Westfield, through
an investigation into the quality of
the various food products sold in his
town, has gained for his town the dis
tinction of being the highest standard
food town in the United States. The
Westfield Book of Pure Foods giving
the results of Professor Allyn's inves-
legations has been circulated all over
the world-and it has done much for
purity in foods and honesty in food
labelling all over the country-and it
has done much for Westfield.
Down in Texas, the citizens of one
of the smaller towns organized a
cleanup brigade that placed that town
on the map as "spotless town."
The pure food show, cooking
school, and household arts exhibit that
will be held in Columbia, July 9, 10
and IL, under the auspices of the
State Board of Agriculture and the
Missouri Food and Drug Department
offers an opportunity to place Column
bia on the Missouri map as the city
that excels in clean, high standard
foods and high standard stores where
foods are sold. Let's make Columbia
stand as high in modern merchandise
ing as it stands in education, morality
and religion.

BIG TOWER IS FOR CONCRETE
Labor Saving Device Used on the New
Library Building.

The main part of the new Library
Building now being built on the East
Campus will be completed by Febru-
ary 1, 1915. Work up to the first floor
is now being finished. The front of
the building which faces Lowry street,
and the back, which faces Conley ave-
nue.. are being built of stone. The 9TH
er sides will be finished in brick.
Concrete is now being laid on the
first floor. This is reinforced by
steel rods. The concrete is carried to
various parts of the building by means
of trOughs that are filled from tower
erected on the south side of the bull
ing. This tower is 1870 feet high. The
concrete is sent up the tower on power
furnished by a steam engine and then
sent down the troughs to any part of
the building. The tower saves the la
Dor of many men in carrying the con-
crete. At present the concrete is car
ried only about half way up the tower
but as work progresses the whole
height of the tower will be used.
A steam engine is furnishing the
power for mixing the concrete Seven
men are kept busy carrying crushed
rock for the mixer and three men
keep it filled with sand.
The room for the book stacks will
be fifty-three feet high. 1t will be in
the rear of the building and is now
partly finished. 1t is being construct
ed of white brick.

AMENDMENT NO. IS.

Now then, voters of Missouri, what
are you going to with this question
of woman suffrage? When the women
of the state finished their work of get
ting $4,000 signers to petitions, calling
for a vote on a constitutional amend
ment next fall, they put the matter
sQuarely up to you. Heretofore you
have had your fun discussing the ques-
tion and have been fairly bold in say
ing what ought to be done, but you
have never had to put yourself on
record. But the time has come now
for the citizens of Missouri to get on
one side of the fence or the other. Will
1t be "Yes" or mo" next November?
The sad part of this matter is that
the voters are going to have a hard
time following party lines in deter
mining how to cast a ballot. There
will be no opportunity to face a can
vasser and say that you are going to
vote so-and-so because your party
platform contains certain planks.
Here is thing that you will have to
work out for yourself Just consult
your conscience, your mother, your
wife, your sweetheart, your sister
consult anybody, but keep the question
in mind and have your answer ready
by next fall for when you go into the
booth then, there will be Amendment
No. 13 staring you in the face and ask

The recent reduction in the price

HOME RULE BILL HAS MAJORITY.
Effort to Amend Defeated by Majority
Of Eighty Votes.

London, April by majority Of
eighty an amendment for the rejection
OF the home rule bill was defeated in
the house Of commons last night, and
without division the bill for the third
time went to its second reading in the
house. The vote on the rejection OF
the amendment was 35S to 27s.
The announcement of the figures
evoked louder cheers from the opposi-
ton than from the ministerialists, the
opposition interpreting them as graft
flying proof of dwindling government
majority. But the diminution is ac-
counted for to some extent by the abb
stention from voting Of the O'Brienites.
The second reading Of the home rule
bill was carried the first time by
majority Of 101 and the second time
by a majority of 9s. Tonight eight
O'Brienites abstained from voting and
two liberals voted against the govern
ment. One nationalist was absent thru
illness Three laborites also were alb
