MAKING SUCCESS AS
 FALLS MILL AGENT
American Wool and Cotton Reporter
 Praises Arthur C. Brown.

In an account Of the recent annual meeting of the Falls Co, the Ameri- can Wool and Cotton Reporter gives very complimentary mention of Arthur C. Brown, the present agent and su- perintendent, who is 8 member of the Norwich Board of Trade and a 3e degree Mason.
 The Reporter says:
 It was voted to appropriate $15, ,O00 for immediate expenditure for more new machinery and equipment. Some 3S0,000 has been expended during the past year on new equipment. This further appropriation for more ma cflinery will put the plant of the Falls company in excellent shape, which will materially increase the output of the plant at a n1inimiZed cost.
 The showing made was very satis- factory, output Of the plant all sold and good future business booked. The improved condition of the plant and the quality of the produce turned out speak well for Arthur C. Brown, the present agent and superintendent.
 AIC Brown entered the employ of the Falls company as a boy 19 years ago. From an operative he has work ed from one position to another, and for the past one and one half years has been i'll personal charge of the plant, succeeding Robert A. Smith, the former agent.
 MT. Brown, who is as yet only S4 years of age, has seen active service under MarcessuI Gould, John r. Rear don, William G. Henderson and Rob ert X. Smith, former agents of the company.
 About two years ago the condition of the Falls company was the subject of comment in the columns of the American Wool and Cotton Reporter. and we are very glad to note that the concern is now in much better shape than at the time the comment refer red to was published. Under the su- pervision of the present agent. the company has passed through a recon struction period with extremely satis- factory results. The manufacture of diversified fabrics las been discontinu- ed, and at the present time they are confnins their products to 2.20 den- inns and awning stripes.
 Considerable new machinery has been installed during the past year. including an entire new equipment of picking, drawing, s1ubbers and speed CTS, and at the present time, new cards, additional drawing machinery, new spooling and warping are being added. It is very gratifying to MT. Brown to see the old Falls company get back into line, and assuming its rishtful position among New England textile mills.

STUDY AND EXERCISE

A glance at the calendar will re-
mind anybody that the season of ou;-
door sports is drawing to a close Ev-
cry student should provide for the
winter months some substitute for the
outdoor exercise he has been getting
in tennis, football and golf.
For the person who does mental
work, physical activity is absolutely
essential. without some sort of ac-
companying physical exercise, the
mind soon grows sluggish and dull
and is incapable of the best work.
Inertia is greater during the winter
months. 1t is much more pleasant
to remain by the warm fire on those
days when the thermometer is hover
ing close to zero than to face the cold
outside, but this is all the more rea-
son why the person needing exercise
should get out.
There are many ways in which the
necessary exercise can be found, re-
gardless of the wintry weather. OF
course, the most obvious is work in
the gymnasium. In lieu of that one
may have recourse to long hikes
across country, when the weather is
fine. Then there is horseback riding,
which is an excellent tonic for brain
fag, and best of all, though unfortu-
nately least available in Missouri re-
Gently, is skating.
OF course the present warm weather
may continue for some weeks yet, but
by all the signs of the season We
should be in for some colder weather
before long. In the meantime lots of
might be sharpening their
skates or investing in some warm
and stout shoes suitable for
hose long hikes over frozen roads.

THE BUSY MANS TOWN

Everybody is in such an everlast-
ing hurry here" remarked A the 9TH
er day, and B replied, "Yes, even If
anybody isn't in hurry. he is afraid
to admit it,"
Then A pulled his watch out OF his
pocket and scurried away, exclaiming,
"By George, I'm ten minutes late to
an appointment" B grinned, then
sprinted to catch a friend who was
just disappearing around the corner.
A and B were quite right about it,
Columbia is the home of the man and
woman-in-a-hurry. Merchants and
professional men hasten to their
stores and Offices, wade through their
work, gobble their dinners and hurry
back to repeat the program. Students
slide breathlessly into their seats just
as the classes begin-or just after.
Women cook, sew and have parties at
a furious pace.
Like beginners in swimming, nearly
everybody is going somewhere frantic
ally. Even if they're just chasing each
other back and forth, they're on their
way, with strained muscles and tense
faces. Even amusements and recrea-
ton are taken at top speed.
A calm face and contented leisure
ly person is a relief once in a while.
Besides, wouldn't We really make
more advancement if we slow down
our pace and expend less useless af
fort?

Editor the Missourian: William Nc
Harg, who keeps a store at Harg, east
of Columbia, is reported as having
burned up all his cigarette supplies,
as a result of the recent anti-cigar-
ette ordinance passed in this city.
Others are planning to give up their
business of selling "coffin nails" 1t is
rumored that some users Of the "pill"
will find it convenient to leave town
occasionally and return with suit
cases filled.
If the merchants in and near Co.

willingly, and IL the citizens Of the
community back up the ordinance
morally and financially, our town will
be much cleaner than before.

and his imaginary audience. When
he imagines rightly, which is seldom,
his writing hits. When he writes with
his genius evident, it misses. There
is nothing that will better remove the
evidence of genius than the plodding
accuracy and unstudied simplicity of
the newspaper column.
Mere cleverness never made a
writer. 1t has helped, but it has not
been an end in itself 1t fails in the
newspaper.
The cure for cleverness and assum-
ing genius is the great contribution
of the newspaper field to literature.

WE HAVE JUST BEGUN

Some persons oppose road improve
ment because, they say, we are spend
ing too much on the roads now. They
think the good roads agitators are 60
ing crazy on the subject. AS a matter
of fact, America is far behind Euro
pean nations in respect to road i'm
provement, and we have just awakened
to the fact, the Joplin Globe observes.
Florida has but 1,752 miles of i'm
proved roads. according to the Globe,
while England and Wales, smaller in
area than Florida. have 150.90S miles.
Germany, which is smaller than Tex
as, has $4,000 miles of improved
roads. Prussia alone, before the war,
expended s35,OO0,0OO annually on
roads. Five years ago $40,000,00O was
spent by England and Wales-one-
sixth as much as was spent on all the
roads in the United States in 1914.
United States has 2,240,000 miles
of public roads, of which only 10 per
cent are improved. The Globe sees
an awakening in this country, howev-
er, during the last ten years. We
were spending. about s79,000,000 an
nually on the roads, whereas now al
most s235 5,O0O. 900 is being expended
every year. One needs only to con-
slider the activity of the last few
months in Missouri to be convinced OF
that fact. Real road Improvement In
America has just begun.

THE DAMY'S TRAINING

In the thousands of books published
every year, there is not sufficient room
for the budding geniuses of Amer
ican literature to express themselves.
The profession of literature is one Of
the most crowded today-one in'which
mediocrity is slowest to obtain recog-
milton.
The man who publishes a book with
out a reputation already established
is running as great a risk as
the director who produces a
play without a star. Like the star,
the author must make his reputation
before he puts his name on book.
He makes it on the newspapers.
There are hundreds of ordinary
newspaper men today producing real
literature-giving trifling news a per-
manent value by the infusion Of per-
sonality in its relating. These are the
men who are to produce the literature
of tomorrow, and the field for devel-
oping them is the newspaper. 1t IS
here that two fatal defects Of the
maybe literati are overcome. These
are mere cleverness and assumed
genius.
The genius writes only for himself
