AS OMAR ID. GRAY SEES 1T

Omar ID. Gray, editor of the Stur-
geon Leader, is a man who knows how
to look ahead. He says he might move
to Columbia some time and has
paved the way by joining the Columbia
Commercial Club.
But without expecting to become a
Columbian soon, Mr.. Gray can see an
advantage in becoming a member IF
the city's business mems organiza-
tion. The Sturgeon editor sees that the
new field for the commercial club is
in bringing closer relation between
Columbia and Boone County 1t must
become Boone County club and Graz.
the leader in Sturgeon, is willing TO
become one of the leaders in the new
relation.
1t is well for advocates of a greater
University here to talk of Columbia
as a state city. But it is better to
have men like Omar D. Gray in the
commercial club, to see that the first
thing needed is to make Columbia a
local, Boone County city.

M.U. MAN STARTS CORN SHOW
p. V. Maris, Saline County Agent, VIII
Handle $1,000 in Prizes.


The efforts of Paul v. Maris, 1914
graduate of the College Of Agriculture.
now county agent of Saline County.
have resulted in preparations for 4
big corn show and seed corn auction
day in Saline County on December 4.
1915. This is to be principally an
acre yield contest and $1,000 in cash
has been offered in prizes. The first
prize is $500; the second, $3.50. A to-
tai of s277 is offered in special
prizes.
Last spring more than one hundred.
contestants each pledged ten bushels
of corn to be sold at auction to finance
the show. The yield will count Is per
cent and the quality of the ten BUSH
els will count 25 per cent in the con-
test. One thousand crates have been
ordered by the farm bureau in order
that the corn may be put in uniform
packs. Governor Elliott w. Major has
consented to begin the auction by
selling the blue ribbon ten bushels.
The first acre reported, which was
measured and the corn weighed by
a committee, made almost one hun
dred bushels of corn. Samples from
each acre will be tested for moisture
in order that all yields may be con-
sidered on a dry corn basis.

COLUMBIA,S FORWARD POLICY

One of the frequently heard remarks
from visitors to certain city is that
1T has such beautiful parks"
The importance of a town as coin
mercial center or the thrift of its cit
izens is by no means so obvious fact
to the casual visitor. 1t is the num-
Der and attractiveness Of its business
houses, the abundance of well-paved
streets, the neat and attractive appear
ance of its residences and its we'll
kept city parks that afford the basis
for a judgment
Almost every city the size of Colum-
bia has its city park, centrally locat-
ed, carefully tended and valuable
civic asset Such a park would be 4
source Of pride and satisfaction to
Columbia citizens. If to her splendid
business and residence DullolnSs, ner
miles of paved streets, her well kept
college and University grounds, Co
lumbia could add an attractive park
and a new city hall she would greatly
strengthen her position in the esti-
mate of her many visitors.
Columbia is a growing city. Real
estate values here are going higher
each year. If Columbia is ever to
have a city park. provisions should be
made for one now. A site can never
be secured more cheaply. Each year
lessons the chance of getting a suit
able location.

casional slump in our finances. You
put your money in this. that or the 9TH
er because someone whose judgment
you trusted had done so. And 10, 1t
was either right or it wasn't. and gen.
orally it wasn't.
Your wife and sister are probably
busy scurrying after the fashion and
social leaders, and you know for your
selves, men, what ridiculous hats and
gowns they are induced to wear and
the funny stunts they do. There's a
new leader that's attracting lot of
the women-folks, the athletic leader,
who is training her string of follow
ers to work for hard muscles. steady
nerves and long endurance. She has
a lot of contempt for the social and
fashion leaders.
Stop a minute and count up the
leaders you've followed. Wouldn't
have believed 1t, would you?

look over the field carefully and pick
the leaders that will take us farthest
among the worth-while things.

Met at Andrews.

Georgetown, May 1.-The King
stree District conference of the
Methodist church, which was held
at Andrews this week, adjourned
Thursday night. 1t was a we'll
attended conference, all the minis
ters being present and a large quota

aging, and the discussion of the sew
eral interests of the church was live
ly. Special stress was given the
temperance question and the con-
ference, by strong resolutions, put
itself on the side of prohibition.
The church was urged to be on the
alert between now and the Septem-
ber election on the prohibition ques-
ton, and to make vigorous fight for
Statewide prohibition. Several
strong speeches favoring prohibition
were made by leading laymen. R
M Lotion of McClellanville was ap-
pointed lay-reader of the district,
and made a speech urging the lay
men to make an active fight.
The following delegates, lay, were
elected to represent this district at
the annual conference, which will be
held in Trinity church, Charleston,
in November: R M Lotion, E c
Coskery, ] B Grant and j Davis
Carter. The next district confer
ence will be held with the church
at McClellanville. The entertain
ment given by the town of Andrews
was greatly appreciated, and reso-
lutions were passed expressive Of
this appreciation.
