c. H. S. WON ~HARDEsT GAME.
Fayette Was Defeated, 80 to IL, In
Local Gymnasium.

Columbia High Schools most diff
cult game of the season." the basket
ball contest with the team of Fayette
High School, ended in victory last
night, 50 to IA, over the visiting FIVE.
This game, and defeat by c. II. S.
al Fayette recently, are the only
games the Fayette team have lost.
Paul Voght, captain of Columbia
High, showed great cleyerness and
made many unusual plays, throwing
goals from scrimmage almost at will.
MCGOWAN at forward also did some ex-
ceptional work and scored six field
goals for his team mates. Two regu-
lar guards, Wayland and Shut, were
on the sidelines throughout the game,
Jarvis and Rhys fulfilling the duties of
their positions very we'll Rutledge at
forward played fast game, but was
called out of the game for personal
fouls. Roberts, who replaced him,
was somewhat nervous to begin with,
but recovered in good form.
The mcst effective playing for the
Fayette boys was done by Bell at for
ward. He is small, weighing only 10S
pounds, but very fast, and elusive.
Skillman, center for the visitors,
played fair offensive game, but was
helpless in his attempts to guard

VI. U. AND LITERATURE.

The taking of poll of student SEN
timent by the officers of the Writers
Club, looking toward the establish
ment of a permanent literary maga-
zine at the University or Missouri,
again calls attention to a phase of
student activity in which the Univer-
sity is lamentably weak
Since the days of the Asterisk, Mis-
souri's state university has been neg
lecting it's literary publications. At
tempts have been made by private
enterprise to establish literary maga-
zines-publicatio'.s that might be writ
ten by the students and reflect stu
dent opinion-but these either have
degenerated into mere ."funny-books"

OUR APPROPRIATION.

A new angle on the question of the
University's appropriation was pre-
sented by the ST. Louis Republic in
an editorial that takes stand against
the cutting of appropriations for edu-
cational purposes. The Republics
view was that the money asked for
is not to satisfy the whims of few
professors, but to supply the urgent
needs of 5000 students.
A million and a half dollars looks
big, looks as if it ought to be enough
for anyone. If the people OF the state
could come to Columbia and see the
plant that this money is supposed to
run-a plant of half a hundred large
buildings, necessitating large
amount for upkeep, thousands of stu
dents, and the whole growing all the
time-they would realize something
of the amount it takes to run the
University for two years.
Then, If they will Just look at neigh
boring states, they will see that very
much more money is being spent on
their schools. If Missouri is to keep
up and give her youth equal advan-
tages with those of her neighbors
she must supply adequate funds.

THE NEW BOOKS
American Essays.

Brander Matthews Of Columbia
University in his "Oxford Book Of
American Essays" has selected and
published in one volume some thirty
widely varying essays Of American
writer's. Such men as Benjamin
Franklin, William Dean Howells,
Henry James, Washington Irving,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, Walt Whitman, George
William Curtis and Theodore Roose-
welt are represented.
The purpose of the volume, Pro-
fessor Matthews says in the intro
duction, is to present typical exam
pies of the American contribution to
that free and whimsical form of Eng
lish literature, the essay.
Among these American essayists," !"
he says, 1--WE may find all sorts and
conditions of writers,-poets adven-
turing themselves in prose, novelists
eschewing storytelling, statesmen
turning for a moment to matters of
less weight, men of science and men
of affairs chatting about themselves
and airing their opinions at large"

ANENT PUBLIC SPEAKING.

The man who can stand up in a
gathering of his peers and talk to
them so as to hold their interest,
making them laugh with him and not
at him, nine times out of ten is not
gifted with the silver tongue. The
ability to speak well in public is not
a gift; it is an art, rightly cultivated.
Humorous essayists have an unfail-
ing mark in the man who thinks
wrongfully that he is an orator. The
misfit after-dinner speaker is the butt
of more jokes than he ever tries to
crack. And, at that, he Is reputed to
be the champion chestnut-huller of

knowledge, too, leads to self-control.
The sooner that an education in pub
lie speaking is required or every per-
son who aspires to speak IN public,
the sooner will there be an appreci-
alton of what real public speaking
is. The trained public speaker, too.
will realize his responsibilities to the
art and will refrain from treading

to hold it for the first time on

Hunt has already been interested
in the plan and in letters sent

willingness to proclaim the fourth
Sunday of this month as Faith

are also being circulated asking
President Wilson to issue SINH

Navajo Base and Santa
Fe Scrip Is Approved

A telegram sent out from
Phoenix the other day says:
''The secretary has signed a
letter relieving from suspension
and approving for patent prac-
tically all the selections of Mo-
qui and Navajo scrip. Details
in few days."
This will mean that thousands
of acres of land in all parts of
Arizona will be given unreserv-
edly to those persons who pur-
chased from the Santa Fe rail-
road scrip at the rate of So per
acre. Many thousands of dol
lars have been tied up for more
than three years in this way and
the owners of the money will
undoubtedly be glad to learn
that they will get the expected
return for their outlay.
The Santa Fe received from
the government at the time it
was built scrip for selection of
large acreage of Moqui and Nav
ajo lands. The railroad late.
sold this scrip for So per acre.
The purchasers contended that
as the scrip could be placed on
the lands mentioned or other
lands of equal value, they were
within their rights in taking up
Sulphur Springs valley land (Co-
chise county, capable Of being
farmed.
This contention was disputed
by the state land commission
and this body urgently protested
against the filings being allowed
to stand. The secretary of the
interior has now overruled that
contention and the filings will,
in most cases, be allowed tc
stand. The particulars will be
anxiously awaited.

Is Families i'm Small
Town Bear Same Name

The authorities of Stovers-
town, a small village in Penn
sylvania. have decided to num-
Der the houses on account of the
prevalence of so many Gunnetts.
Years ago, it seems, the Gun
netts were not SO numerous, but
they have multiplied. There
are at the present time twenty
five families bearing the name
Gunnett in Stoverstown, which
breaks up the old joke about the
Smiths and Jones ruling every
thing; this time it is case of
too much Gunnett.
The rural mail carrier who
passes through the town has the
time of his life, and often gets
the Gunnett mail, which is about
the only mail delivered there,
mixed. There are five John
Gunnetts, two Frank Gunnetts.
three Charles Gunnetts, three
Amos Gunnetts, and mixture
of other Gunnetts, but the above
named being the cause of all
the trouble.
1t is thought that Stoverstown
is the only town aside from
large cities that can claim the
distinction of having twenty-five
families with the same name.
