The Open Column
The Sidewalks in Columbia.

Editor the Missourian: While the
city is starting a campaign for a city
hall, and a city market and municipal
swimming pool have been suggested,
there is one other municipal improve
ment that would be of less expense.
AT the same time it would surely be
welcome. | refer to an improvement
in the sidewalks of Columbia.
For instance, on University avenue
rom Ninth street to College avenue
there is a. good sidewalk, but it is so
narrow that when students are walk
ing to and from classes it is necessary
for a great number of them to walk
On the parking. They can't help il.
They must either be pushed off the
sidewalk themselves or push of the

Nothing is more necessary to a well
kept municipality than good side
walks. Let's see the City Council take
some action on this matter. T.

GIFTS

No man is pauper unless he is
deaf, dumb, blind and mentally def
cient. All of us have capacities, gifts
peculiar to ourselves. Nowhere arc
there two of US with the selfsame
gifts. No two blades of grass are the
same; no two of all the leaves of all
the trees have ever been found with the
same weight, no two thumbs in all the
world of man can be photographed the
same. In all the universe of God
there are no two souls alike. How
this thought ought to put an end to
laziness- -neglecting the gifts en-
trusted to US, to envy Of another's lot,
to jeolously-the sorrowing at anoth-
er's good.
"Stir into fame the gift of God tina:
is in thee" said ST. Paul to his young
friend Timothy. That we are in the
world is proof that the flame of our
gift has not been reduced to ashes.
Old age, weakness, sorrow, fatigue
none of these can excuse US from the
work which is ours. from the tanning
Of our own gifts. There cannot be a
happy life without strenuous, unre-
mitting work which occupies the
whole Of our body. heart and mind.
This is the bellows which blows 70
fame our gift of God. Work used to

SHOW THEM COLUMBIA

When tourists visit Niagara Falli
they are taken to The plant of th'
Shredded Wheat Company as one of th'
show places of the town. A guide
shows them through the big plant
and he tour ends with lunch o.
Shredded Wheat products and lit
tie talk on the construction OF Shred
ded Wheat.
The Quaker Oats plant at Cedar
Rapids, Ia, has a similar plan. Ar
rangements are made in many cities
whereby visitors are taken to see the
city's leading industries. In St. Louis
several of the big manufacturing es-
Adjustments are always open to the
public and are counted as being
among the city's show places.
Why could not Columbia have sorae
systematic plan by which visitors
could be taken to Columbia's show
places, the University, Stephens and
Christian Colleges and the Hamilton
Brown Shoe Factory? Hundreds Of
people go through Columbia on the
Cid Trails Road each week. They
leave Columbia, unimpressed To them
this is just an ordinary little old
town. Strangers with an inquisitive
turn of mind ask somebody on the
street corner where to go and what to
see. Others go uniformed.
Last week twelve persons from Co.
lumbus, Ohio, passed through Colum-
bia on their way to Los Angeles.
Probably they have forgotten even the
name Columbia now. But if they had
been taken to see the University
buildings, the campus and the co.,
leges Columbia would have stood for
something definite in their minds.
They would have remembered it as
city worth while.
Could not the Columbia Commercial
Club and the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation discuss the matter and secure
the appointment of some one whose
duty would be to show strangers the
beauty spots and show places of CO.
lumbia? He could have headquarters
at some place where strangers ana
visitors to Columbia could be taken.
With only an hour at his disposal,
much could be accomplished toward
chowing off Columbia and creating a
favorable impression in the minds o.
Columbia's visitors.

Waters calm along the hillsides
Painted by reflection there
With gorgeous hues of autumn
In the trees and in the air.
Scarcely moving, just a-tremble
With the falling leaves Of gold.-

In the quiet Of the evening
What Indian Summer said
When she bowed her head an.
kissed you
With her bfushing lips Of red.

is gradually falling out. He means
by this that the farmer under the
present conditions, cannot prosper.
The present condition is caused by
many things, some Of which he named.
High rate Of interest on borrowed
money in southern states, inability Of
farmers to borrow money for suf-
ficient lengths of time from banker,
speculations, an unbalanced specializa-
tion of crops, lack of farmers ex-
changes throughout the country, low,
selling price of products by farmers
and large profits Of commission and
middlemen, all make the farmer work
harder and receive less than q person

in any other line of business. Mr..
Puderbaugh thinks that cooperation
among farmers to market produce and
leave out petty competition will help
the farmer to become as prosperous
as his fellow business men of other
occupations.

 to ask after learning of the death of Nor
 man B. Ream, Was he one of the many millionaire citizens of the United States who began life in the humblest as- sooiation9' The day after MT. Ream s death, estimates of the amount of his fortune were published none of them put ting the figure at less than $50, 900 and some much higher. For several years a prev ailing estimate of MT. Reams wealth in the financial district was named $75,- 000,00o.. That may be because so many of those who gained great wealth and who began with nothing except health, en- ergy and good mental endowments, were found at their death to have accumulated about $75,000,000. Very likely MT. Ream himself was in the same frame of mind as that which the late E. H. Hartman acknowledged to have been his a few months before his death. MT. Hartman said he could not tell how much he was worth, but he could figure about ESQ., 100000. When possessions are as large
