that is the way to wealth, that is the way to wisdom,

TOO FEW EXHIBITS AT FAIR
Dean McCauStland Would Have All
Departments Represented.

Dean E. ]. McCaustland of the
School of Engineering, who visited the
State Fair last week, believes that too
few of the divisions in the University
are represented there. He says that
only the College of Agriculture, the
School of Engineering and the School
of Mines, and the departments of
physics and chemistry have exhibits.
The exhibits are shown under the title
of University of Missouri" and those
who have no other knowledge of the
University are lead to believe there
are no other departments. He thinks
there are many things the other de-
partments are doing that would dis
play to an advantage at the fair and
make the people Of the state take more
interest in the University.

written by Rex Beach and a majority
of the Selig stars who aided in max
ing "The Spoilers" famous, appear in
its worthy successor, THE NE'ER-

A special company Of Selig stars,
including Kathlyn Williams, Wheeler
Oakman, Eugene Besserer, Jack Nc
Donald, Frank Clark, Harry Lonsdale
and others, were escorted to Panama
by William n Selig in order that true
atmosphere called for in Rex Beach's
story might be filmed.
The operation of a Panama fire de-
partment is not the least interesting
of the many scenes in and near the
Canal Zone. In the opening reel of
THE NE'ER-DO-WELL," there is a
hand-to-hand combat that is one of
the most realistic ever presented in
motion pictures.
