town is concerned. but somewhere

with him.
Those who know tell us that a weed
is anything growing out of its place.
The yard or lawn is place for grass

even look better in garden patch
than in weeds.
If there are no material gains TO
be made, the pOssessOr may still get
a good return in the joy of a beauti-

run down by an automobile and had
been taken to the doctors office near
by. He was lying on the operating
table, little hurt but in somewhat ruff

1t wasn't long until two barefooted
boys came in from the street to see
what had happened. They hesitated
at the door; but Arthur's father.
standing near, asked them to come in.

WHEN Is IT COMING!

For years and years Columbians
have been dreaming great dreams of
an electric railroad, a through line
from St Louis TO Kansas City or from
Jefferson City to Moberly or maybe
only from Centralia to McBaine. The
main point of the dream has been al
ways that the line was to be a through
line. going from somewhere to someA
where else, with perhaps only "toot
toOt" as it shot through Columbia's s
hallowed precincts.
Columbia has grown a bit weary of
being the division point on two rail-
roads, because both send their trains
into the city in much the same posi-
tion as an irritated Missouri mule
preparing to stamp his disapproval
upon the object of his wrath. In
Other words, II an arriving tram were
to crash head-on into the city of Co
lumbia, it wouldn't be the engineer
. that lost his life.
This state of affairs has been going
on long enough, say the COlumbians;
they proceed to dream of the advant-
ages of a better system. They have
been dreaming of a new hotel for a
long time, too. They are great dream
ers. but they don't seem to be getting
anywhere in particular.
What Columbia seems to need most
ly right now is fewer financial Rip
Van Wrinkles and a whole. big bunch
of Teddy Roosevelt boosters.
