HIGH SCHOOL DAY
AT COLUMBIA MAY -
Extra Program of Entertain
ment Planned for Young
Missouri Students.

High school day at the Univer-
sity of Missouri at Columbia will

plans for the entertainment and
instruction of the high school
ers' are more extensive than

the program will extend over
several days. Thursday and
Friday before the high school
meet the University Of Kansas
baseball team will battle with
Missouri's team, the Tigers. Fri

Kansas track team will attempt
to defeat Missouri. Then on
Saturday afternoon the athletic
field will be turned over for the
thirteenth annual high school
meet to the 500 Missouri youths
representing academies, mill
tary schools and high schools.
Loving cups, gold, silver and
bronze medals will be given to
winners in the track and field
events.
The contestants will be divid-
ed into three classes, one for
military academies, one for
small high schools and the other
for the city high schools of the
state. A full list Of events in
each class will be staged and the
same prizes will be offered in
each class.
Last year about 400 competed
in the big meet. Many more are
expected this year by G. L.
Brewer, director of athletics in
the University, who has charge
of the high school meet arrang-
ments. Prof. G. H. Williams,
secretary Of the High school De-
batting League, and Prof. j. D.
Elliff, high school visitor, are
the members of the High School
Day committee.

county meets can be held in the
different parts of the state ano
thus determine the sectional
winners. Then after the big
state meet the winners in each
event can be considered state
champions.

a majority of the delegates to
the last Democrats National
Convention were instructed by
their respective States to vote
for a Missouri Democrat for
President. Missouri was defeat
ed in that convention, but Mis-
souri, Democrats took their
medicine manfully, as they al
ways do, and they gave Wood
row Wilson the largest plurality
ever received by a candidate for
President in this state. In view
of these facts, if the next Ma
tional Convention should decide
to nominate a Missouri Demo-
crat for Vice-President, wouldn't
it be doing just about the
proper thing?

A WOMAN'S SACRIFICE
By GEORGE MuNsoN

Nurse Winifred stood beside Mu-
riels cot in the children's ward, wait
ing for the doctor S verdict.
I'm afraid we'll have TO send her
home tomorrow" he said at last.
That hip disease is completely cured.
1t has been for weeks, you know.
We've kept the child principally-well,
because you have taken a fancy to
her" he said, smilingly.
Il like them all" said the nurse.
But this little iye-year-old-poor lit
tie motherless thingi Doctor, l don't
like to think Of that father of hers TAX
ing her"
I'm afraid he's got the law on his
side" the doctor answered. Besides,
what's the matter with him.
Il don't like him, Doctor answered
the nurse. Il don't think he's the sort
of man who would be kind to a child
"Nonsense!" said the doctor,
b~rusquely, Anyhow, she can't stay
here for ever"
Just one week longer!" pleaded
Nurse Winifred.
very well. One week. But no
more" said the doctor, as he turned
away.
Nurse Winifred felt the tears come
into her eyes. She had mothered
Muriel Clauson ever since the child
had been brought there by the father,
a year before. The mother was dead;
the father, who came every week,
seemed to like the little girl after his
fashion, but Nurse Winifred did not
like him. Dark, scowling, sullen, he

The revival at the Methodist
church closed Tuesday night
and Mr.. Campbell and his singer
Mr.. Butts left for Kansas City
Wednesday. The meeting was
a success in every particular.
Sixty went forward, forty-one
having united with the church
with others to follow, Wednesday
at 1880 instead Of the regular
prayer meeting a praise service
was held in the church, at the
close of which a social hour was
spent getting acquainted with
the new members.

From the Gallery.

One hot summer night, a heavy rain
came up suddenly over New York. and
the spectators at the ringside Of a
fight in Madison Square garden had to
fee TO avoid the downpour through an
open skylight in the roof Just above
the roped square.
Billy Gibson, matchmaker for tho
Garden, hustled around and got the
skylight closed. and then the fight
went on It was a rotten fight. At
the end OF the second round a fellow
in the first gallery lifted his voice and
bawled:
Hey, Glib. Git that skylight open
agin quick, and maybe we can drown
these two bumsi"

noticed her, never did anything
but sit by the cot side and glover at
his child, who was plainly almost
afraid of him.
When Muriel learned that she was
to 20 home with her father in the
neal future she was heartbroken.
Promise me you'll come too, nurse"
she pleaded. And Nurse Winifred, to
save the child a week of h~eartbreak,
promised that she would.
She broke the news to the father
the next day. He only glared at her
m~orosely. She found herself wonder
ing whether he would know how to
care for the child, whether there were
any women in his family. He was a
maker OF stained glass, she had
learned, and lived in two or three
poorly furnished rooms in an unfash-
ionable. rather Bohemian part Of the
town. Still, a father has rights. But
Nurse Winifred felt that 1t would be
~scandalous to let the child go to a
home where there would be nc woman
to care for It.
81 suppose you will get someone TO
look after the child" she suggested.
81 am capable Of looking after her"
answered the father.
But you want a m to care for
her. You can't look after a child
yourself!"
"Tn have no woman in my home
he almost shouted at her.
you'll have to-" answered Nurse
Winifred deliberately. Otherwise
you shall not get possession Of the
child"
Maybe you'd like to look after her

Nurse Winifred flushed. Il certain

However, that is not the point.

And she took the matter up with
them. They agreed that It might b.

all day, and cried most Of the night
Then she arrived at her decision
When the father came she told hin
plainly that she was willing to Civ

When the time came for the child

GROWING DEMAND VON
 TIRPiTz REINSTATEMENT

for the demand for the reinstate- ment of von Tirpitz as head of the German navy as hardly being really indicative of very great success in. the recent battle with the British. The articles are somewhat sarcastic and they freely joke German papers with the inconsistency of demand ing a former naval head and in crediting the navy under his success sor with a victory that never has, been achieved by the watchful wait ing policy of von Tirpitz whose U boats did all the work.
