A Girl of Good Business Judgment.

The proposition offered by the To-

plain, and its assurance of profits so
apparent, that even a baby can un-
derstand and profit by it. Miss Sally
Barth, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. 1. A.
Barth, only reached this world Sun
day, and no sooner did she arrive than
she proved her good business sense
by Immediately taking out Five
Shares of Stock in the Boone National

this stock she pays $500 a month and
at the end of ten years she will re-
ceive from the Association $4,000. 1t

THE RUSSIAN OBJECTIVE.

What's Russia doing in this war
She, too, like all the rest has tried tc
shift the blame. She accuses her en-
emies of not giving time for the Euro
pean nations to smooth out the tangle
which resulted when Austria de-
clared Servia's reply to her ultima.
tum unsatisfactory. In self-protec-
ton, mobilization and war followed
Russian statesmen say.
It's not her statesmen We want to
talk to. It's her bankers. There was
a time when men fought for honor,
for love, for liberty. Religious wars
belong to an age long past. We need
not heed the charges that the military
lords of the continent started this
war to take their subjects minds off
the question of democratic govern
ment to save their own autocratic
powers. It's not merely race antip-
athy, either.
The Italian who runs a banana
stand on the corner doesn't worry us
until he accumulates enough money
to put up a store and enter into COM
mercial competition with US.
Then we begin to notice him. Then
we begin to hate him. Then latent
race preiudices, political, religious,
social differences-all that we can
find to dislike about the man come to
the front When he touches our
pocket boOks-when he begins to
take a customer from us now and |
then-when he gets desirable mark
ct corner we wanted-then our rage
boils over.
The Kaiser's government believes
in Pan-Germanism; that means Ger
man influence extending through the
Balkans to the Aegean Sea. Russia,
too, has a constructive program.
Some day Russia hopes to reach the
open sea on the Scandinavian penin-
sula, to gain access to the Mediterran-
ean either by ownership or control of
he Balkans and to open the Black
Sea by the possession of Constanti-
lople. The Russian and German am
'itions clash vitality in the Balkans. =.
They are both fighting for the same r
market place on the corner. d

A TRADE MARK FOR COLUMBIA.

With Prof. A w. Taylor's admir-
able and practical talk to the Com
mercial Club of the city's needs in
matters of health still fresh in mind,
wouldn't it be a good thing if his sug-
gestions could be acted on in such
a way as to make Columbia known
as town of health.
The City of Health" would be no
mean trade mark with which to
stamp Columbia, and it would not
necessitate a great amount of work
to bring it about Columbia is not
what can be called an unhealthful
community, but if this negative idea,
this mot unhealthful" could be
changed to a positive 'healthful" the
city would be the gamer of an i'm
portant asset.
Although Columbia is protected in
a curative way by its doctors and by
Parker Memorial Hospital, there is a
1anger in the conditions prevalent in
The negro section of the city, and there
S more tuberculosis in the communi-
y than most people realize. 1t is
he preventive side of the health
question that needs development.
Mr.. Taylor's suggestion that the
'owers of the board of health be ex-
ended and health officer with police
'ower appointed is a good one. There
5 no question that the negro quar-
ers should be cleaned. The women
Tho go from them every day to work
4 the homes of the city, most of
hem as cooks, could easily be the
ource of an epidemic of some kind.

RS that needed it the city would only
e doing its duty to the citizens.
And Columbia, The City of Health"
ould be valuable trade mark.

Letters to the Editor
MUNICIPAL INTERFERENCE.

Editor the Missourian:-It has long
been a question in the minds of the
students of the University to what ex-
tent the local authorities have right
to interfere in the student activities
Just now nearly every student who
is interested in sophomore and fresh
men fights is discussing the incident
that recently happened to three men,
bers of the second year class in the
police court. The question is, should
the University faculty with the aid of
the student senate, the representa-
tives of the students, have threshed
out the matter, or left it to the city
court. Since the students have been
fined it has been discovered that the
report that their lives were in danger,
is false.
And these same freshmen who were
locked up in the silo expressed their
feeling in utter disgust to think that
their enemies were treated in such a
manner. They feel sure, they say,
that it was not done with their con-
sent Ever since the University start
ed there has grown a feeling of class
spirit among the two classes. Even
the freshman today will regret next
year that he has helped to put a ban
on the old customs that he is well
coined with, which are dear to the
hearts of upper-classmen. There is
no doubt but that the interference of
the local police hurt the University.
But it hurt some one else also, and
this was the town itself. Here is the
reason, the story was run in all the
papers over the state. The readers
Of the papers can not possibly under
stand conditions. And the readers
iraw their own conclusions. What
IAN they think but that the conditions
ire really worse than stated And 1
he question still remains can Colum- |
)ia as well as the University afford to /
lave municipal interference on such |
mall matters that really don't mean
Inything if left alone. Student.

PROPER TIME TO CUT GRASS
