Uncle Sans Modern Miracles.

Most Americans, as well as the peo-
pie of other nations, look upon the
achievement of the building of the
Panama Canal as the cap-sheaf of en-
gineering skill-and it is. In his
book, Uncle Sans Modern Miracles" :"
William Atherton DuPuy calls atten-
tion to the fact that this is but one OF
a score of big tasks of this virile
westemer among nations. Back OF
most of these tasks, he says, is one
great principle-the well-being of hu-
manity. Sometimes these efforts have
been made to make better, cleaner,
happier lives for Uncle Sans own
people, at other times just as earnest
an effort has been made to advance
conditions in other nations. ITO him
who has lost faith in his fellows, in
socety, in government, l would ex-
tend this invitation to come with me
for an inspiration of the really worth
while undertakings to which the old
man with the whiskers and the boots
has set his hand" The chapters deal
with conquering contagion, awaken
ing the Filipino. recompensing the In

A MONUMENT TO BOONE COUNTY

Boone County can take the lead In
one of the most humanitarian move
ments in the history of the state by
building a tuberculosis hospital. Not
one county in Missouri has risen TO
meet this emergency. Only one tu-
berculosis hospital is within the
state, and that is the state hospital at
Mount Vernon.
Will Boone be the first to build a
monument dedicated to a fight against
the white plague? Will she follow
the lead of her illustrious namesake,
who blazed the way through the will
derness for the advancement of CIV
ilization? Daniel Boone wanted more
elbow room. That is exactly what
the many poverty stricken victims OF
tuberculosis need-more pure, whole
some air.
Pure air, wholesome food and clean
living quarters are often denied these

THE NEW BOOKS
The Pulse of Men.

Clarence Stone in his "The Pulse
of Men" says, "The great things in
life are battle and rapture" He de-
velops this idea in peculiar sense
in chapters on Failing Water In
The Glen," Business" "The Road
Through the Pines" "The Race" "a
Woman Singing" "The Valley OF
Fallsway," Autumn Light Among
the Beeches," "The Storm" and 1.-THE
Pulse of Men," Battle has its seat In
love of conquest. All rapture has its
root in sex. (The Arnold Press, 204

STILL ANOTHER ALLY.

And now another country may join
the Allies. This is the tiny Republic
of San Marino, which exists as an in
dependent state entirely surrounded
by Italian territory.
Germany has declared that the wire
less station on Monte Titano is being
used for the French and has demand
ed that a German commission be per-
mitted to visit the wireless stations
of San Marino.
Now the entire population of TO-
600 is at fever-heat against Germany
Since 1870, San Marino has been in
a state of war with Austria, having
refused to sign the peace treaty fol-
lowing the joint war with Italy. The
population declares that it is willing
to include Germany, too, if necessary,
according to the London Daily
Chronicle. The government has re-
jected the demand for the commits
sion.
This most curious little country Of
fers an interesting play for the fancy.
Its defiance is as great as the country
is small. But what is Germany to do!
She might declare war on the little
republic but she couldn't enter it with
an army because Italy is in the way.
And a submarine blockade wouldn't
be very effective So San Marino may
be independent for another thousand
years, even if she has incurred the
wrath of the Kaiser.

Resurrection Greatest Power in Life,
Says Columbia Pastor.

The Rev. c. C. Grimes. pastor of
the Broadway Methodist Church,
spoke at the Y. w. c. A. meeting yes
terday afternoon on "The Power OF
the Resurrection"
There are several kinds of power
in life," he. said, "but most of them
are largely sentimental A beautiful
picture has power only through the
pleasure it gives and the inspiration
it may have. The greatest power is
that of the Resurrection, or immor-
tality of the soul.
''The world forces the Christian to
make sacrifices of self which it should
not, but the sufferings of earth can
not be compared with the glory Of the
Resurrection. Anyone can have this
power if he has the spirit OF Chris,
within him."

ACADEMIC FRESHMEN ELECT
Henry Clay Lewis Made President
After Mucb Grafton.

High school oratory strove master
fully and at times belligerently, for
recognition at the freshman academic
election in the Physics Building audi
torium yesterday afternoon. Aided
by the applause of large number OF
upper-classmen, the political as
pirants of the freshman class did
their "loudest" to put their candidates
in office
The fiercest fight was for the office
of president. Hostilities started
when Rheinhardt Egger denounced
fraternity politics in general and In
particular at the University of Mis-
souri,. He was followed by Bernard
Hurwitz, who denounced all "ma-
chimes" Henry Clay Lewis of Ca
ruthersville got the Office of presf-
dent.
Carl S. Hansmann of Bucklin was
elected vice-president after another
stormy session. His campaign was
marked by much oratory, contributed
by Hiney White of Kansas City.
Miss Miriam Glandon got the Office
of secretary. She has had varied
political history, having been secre-
tary of the seniors at Mexico High
School, president of sewing circle
in the same school and a member OF
a missionary circle in Mexico. The
office of treasurer of the academic
freshmen is now held by ]. NJ. Giltner
of Joplin.
A slate for the all-freshman cleo
tion was chosen. Wilson Hicks Of
Sedalia is candidate for president;
Fred Gabelman, vice-president; Miss
Jena d. Imhoff, secretary; Bernard
Hurwitz, treasurer, and Rheinhardt
Egger, sergeant-at-arms.

GETTING THE CLOTHES.

Columbia needs some new clothes.
Spring is coming and there is going
to be lot of entertaining ahead, the
gossips say, in the way of automobile
parties on their way to the Panama
Pacific Exposition. If she will get a
new dress, bow of ribbon for her
hair and a new pair of shoes, so to
speak, many admirers nearer home
who really count more than the tran
sients will be attracted.
The appearance of Columbia has
been too much neglected and she has
outgrown much of her apparel Nc
longer do the old things fit. Home
pride should provide new attire IN
ample measure and of approved STYLE
Some immediate changes can be made
to enhance her beauty; others will
take longer but will indeed make her
fair to look upon.
A civic center would prove a dress
of finest silk that would radiate
shimmers of pleasure to the eye OF
all beholders. Her feet clad In better
crossings and in sidewalks on which
the water could not stand could be
further aided by more frequent wash
ings of the streets. The hair ribbon
well, what would be a more pleas
ing contrast to the old rag string now
in use than a regenerated Playground?
Habilatory activities should start at
once and other trimmings necessary
to the finished appearance of any lady
will suggest themselves.

THE SPEAKERS FRIDAY.


The people of Lancaster county
will be given an opportunity o. hear
ing Governor Manning. who Will be
one OF the speakers that day. This
viii be MIR Mannings arst appear
ance here since he became governor
and he vii! be accorded a rousing
welcome. The governor has had
many difficult problems to handle
during the first year of his admin
istration. He has devoted himself
whole-heartedly to the task, with pa
tience, courage and determination.
And right we'll is he administering
his high Office. Lancaster gave Mr..
Manning good majority in the pri-
maries in 1914. He has many warm
personal friends in this county and
hosts Of admirers. 1t is not enough
to have helped elect him; we want to
assure him Of our sympathetic sup
port. Lancastrians will avail them
selves Friday Of the opportunity of
welcoming our chief executive.
The other speaker, Col. E. ]. Wat
son is always acceptable to Lancaster
audiences. He has been with US per-
haps oftener than any other man in
public life for our people love to hear
him and he is invited often. On each
appearance here, he brings us help
full message. The truth he has felt
in duty bound to tell us has some
times hurt but 1t has at the same
time quickened us to action. He is
the kind of friend it is good for us
to have and his advice never falls on
deaf ears.

HOLIDAY TRADES DAY.

~. =
Another big day will be celebrat-
ed in Lancaster this week. Friday,
Decemb ber 10, has been designated as
Holiday Trades Day, which is to be
made an occasion of decided interest
to the people of Lancaster county.
1t is very important date for busi-
ness that concerns us all is to be
transacted. a permanent county fair
association will be organized, officers
elected and definite plans formulat-
ed, by which Lancaster may hold an
nual fairs on scale not heretofore
attempted We have already, for
able start and the two county fairs,
held under circumstances decidedly
unfavorable, demonstrate that one
thing only was lacking-organiza
ton. The spirit has been there all
right. County pride vas not lack
ing. The people of Lancaster, the
town as we'll as the county, showed
commendable enterprise, as we'll as
ingenuity in devising ways and
means of holding a fair without
fair association and with no build
ings at their disposal. But a people
who will patronize a fair during
weather such as prevailed last year,
and who will work so whole
ly for fair under cover Of tents as
the fair was held this year, and be
successful in both ventures, are a
people who, given organization and
suitable buildings, are capable of
making the fair a very great asset in
their community life.
Lancaster never does things by
halves. If we are to have a county
fair association our people will want
one worthy of the name. 1t must
have capable officers in thorough ac-
cord with the proposition. It's COM
'mitteemen must be citizens who ap-
preciate the possibilities of the prop
osition. 1t must also be well financ-
ed and the stock distributed among
those who represent the many varied
interests of the county. The farmer
who lives in the remotest section of
the county should be made to feel as
vital an interest in the fair as the
man in town; the man in the office
must feel that the fair is his even as
it is the property of his brother, who
makes his living out of the ground.
The fair is designed to stimulate us
n griN tlal .l,s
orally capable. No matter what sort
OF work we are doing. we are to ex-
hibit specimens of that work and 5y
comparison with the work of others
we may see wherein we have failed
or wherein We have succeeded.
Then it will mean much to us all to.
have common meeting place where
all OF the people may meet at least
once year to exchange greetings and
enjoy the comradeship of our fol
lows. We cannot here specify the
others benefits of the fair. Every
thoughtful mind can suggest other
ways in which the fair helps in the
development of the county. We are
to be given an opportunity Of or
ganizing fair association and It
goes without saying that it will be
a success. Let every good citizen
have part in the organization. After
the meeting there will be ample time
for shopping. And the merchants
are Offering unusually good values
for Friday. Don't fail to come to
Lancaster that day.

The sick, like the poor, we have
with us always, but we are making

having a hospital here at home and
help ourselves by keeping hospital
fees at home?
