COLLEGE BOYS WON'T LEAVE
Illinois Militia Wants to Stay on the
Mexican Border.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Aug. Few
college students in the militia camps
of the Rio Grande Valley will accept
exemption from further service. The
students resent the attitude of the
legislators and cOnstrue it as direct
reflection upon their patriotism.
From the camp of the First Cav
airy. which has a good percentage of
university men, petition has been
forwarded to President Wilson by
University of Illinois students urging
him to intercede for them should the
measure make arbitrary the exclusion
of collegians from the guard.
In it they state they will consider
themselves personally Inundated and
disgraced if constrained to return to
Urbana The petition reads:
We learn with regret that Con-
gress has authorized the exemption
of college students from the national
guard. This we deeply resent. We
came down here for purpose, to
serve our country, and should we be
obliged to return to Urbana, We, stu
dents of the University of Illinois,
feel that we should not care to sneak
about on campus where we came
from to do a solemn duty.
We deplore most heartily the atti-
tude toward college men and should
the order be mandatory, we, as men,
bers of Troop B, First Illinois Cavalry
urge you to use your influence to
see that we remain here to fulfill our
charged duty. We should feel inten-
sely Inundated should we be COM

STILL THE STATE UNIVERSITY

The nomination of W. II. Sapp for
representative by an Overwhelming
majority of the Democratic voters of
Boone County was a deserved recogni-
ton of Mr.. Sapp's service to the en-
tire county. He was an active, earn
est and courageous representative. and
no good reason presented itself for
denying his denomination.
Mr.. Sapp's success, however, meant
sonal tribute 1t showed that the vOt-
ers of Boone County are opposed to
dragging the University of Missouri
into local politics. They are against
making a state institution a perquisite
of local politicians to be used for per-
sonal ends The attacks upon Univer-
sity policies and officers not only were
great majority of the people of the
county. The personal animus of the
anti-University candidate and his med
ical advisors won no support but on
the contrary lost many votes.
1t is matter of regret that few
good unfortunately only few
should have been led by their preju-
dices into actions and utterances that
in their sober, sane moments they will
wish to forget and to have forgotten.
1t is a matter of rejoicing that the re-
suit of the contest shows conclusively
that no candidate can win in Boone
County on a platform that denOunces
the State University for being run in
the interests of the stare.

Use OF VACATION

Vacation is for rest and a renewal OF
energy, but not every worker needs
the same program. Vacation is the
time TO renew what has been lost in
work.
The man who thinks hard and uses
little muscular energy needs an out
ing, a mental rest, but a physical eX-
ertion. Americans are as bad as
Chinese in doing things backward
and so we have many old young men
and few young old men.
Many of us are still seeking the free
to-all fountain of youth and losing
our real selves in the effort. A few
days or even half days each month
scattered between Sundays should be
given to the kind of rest needed by
each of US.
The suggested Thursday half holiday
would increase business efficiency and
individual value as well as educate
many of us in the way to live for life's
sake

+. VI. TODD TO KANSAS CITY
Former {. II. 5. Teacher Will Begin
New Work in September.

E. VI. Todd, coach of athletic teams
in the Columbia High School in 1913,
1914 and 1915, who has been appointed
coach of the Country Day School of
Kansas City. will take up his new
duties in September.
Todd is a graduate of the School of
Journalism and holds also a degree
in education and an A. B. Last spring
he took the degree of Master of Arts,
specializing in physical education. He
played on the Varsity basketball and
tennis teams and on the class teams
in football and baseball. He was once
assistant in physical education of the
Summer Session.
The teams that Todd turned out at
Columbia High have all been of ex-
ceptional class. In 1914 the basket
ball team won the state title and re-
peated in 1915. In 1915 the football
team took the state championship in
the high school class.
In his work at the Country Day
School, Todd not only will have
charge of athletics but will devote
part of his efforts to military train
ing of the students.

The retail merchant must be a good
buyer, must have a fit place in which
to display and sell his goods. The
store must be clean, inviting, light
and cheerful; his clerks must be
trained. They must know the goods,
and know the arts of salesmanship.
They must sell the goods in the spirit
of service, kindness, hospitality and
mutual interest
Advertising is the modern way of
selling goods. Nationally advertised
goods are life-savers to the retailer.
The farming communities have been
educated to it through the agricul-
tural and country press and the cities
through the great magazines and the
dailies.
Too many retailers think that ad-
vertising means selling goods at a
cut price and his local competitor has
the same idea. He has not learned
that salesmanship is selling goods at
"a pioiit anu thdt duN cI tlSlIlS Is
manship on paper. No wonder 22,-
600 such merchants failed last year
The local retailers personality is a
factor and yet the mail-order houses
with all these handicaps have gone
right out into the country districts
and right into the cities and sold
goods right under the nose of the
small town merchants. Why?
Through the power of advertising;
salesmanship on paper, with we'll
prepared catalogues that display the
goods attractively; with descriptions
that are compelling and that answer
the questions 'why'-'what'-
and wherefore; that have gotten the
business.

actual field of operation.
The problem of distribution is one
of the great problems still confront
ing us. General discomfort with
methods of distribution has manifest
ed itself at different times for a pc
riod of years. Granger stores estab-
lished four years ago were only a
manifestation of discomfort with ex-
isting methods of distribution. The
farmers owned the stores, and it was
an attempt to shorten the route be-
tween producer and consumer.
1t is true that the retail merchant
is the natural distributor of goods.
The consumers like to go into the
store and look at goods for sugges-
tiOns. For four thousands of years
this has been the accepted method of
distribution of the bulk of goods at
retail None of the efforts so far
made to improve upon this have been
really successful.
Last year-in the year 1915 more
than $4,000 merchants in the United
States failed in business; more than
twice as many as in 1914 or any pre-
vious year. An analysis of the rea-
sons why of these failures develops
some interesting facts. The COM
mercial reports charge a large per-
centage of these to incompetence.

ELIMINATING STRAIGHT LIN
Mr.. Pierre Tells How Shrubbery May
Be Planted to Advantage

In yesterdays article, while discus
sing some of the features of Main
street, we have pointed to the fact
that monumental buildings have
very much more pleasant aspect for
the beholder, when not visible in their
entity at a glance. but are partially
concealed by trees. Examples in
point are the High School building
and the Masonic Temple.
Today We will discuss a closely re-
lated subject, namely how the mono
tony OF the succession Of straight
lines. which practically every build
ing presents, may be relieved by plant
ings.
Let us, for instance, go back to the
corner of Main and School streets and
look alternately at the base line of
the Congregational church on the
front. then on the sides of the same
building, and finally at those of the
Temple.
OF course the Virginia creeper en-
deayoring to grow over the gable of
the church. is beautiful, but what
really enhances the picture before us
are the few shrubs artfully planted on
either side OF the doorways. The
varieties are well chosen and 1t was
correct to plant them very thickly
and irrcgulaily. II only half dozen
shrubs had been similarly planted on
the School street side. and along the
base line of the Masonic building,
this whole part of the city would be
very much more attractive to the eye.
Let MS 20 to the new High School
The curved cement walks leading to
the entrance are geometrcal figures

view OF the many straight lines OF the
building The two short rows of the

of the basement windows are straight

situation

which the building is the center,
creates the impression that what has
been done has been done nicely, but
at the same time one canvot help feel.
ing that the picture was not finished,
that there is still something to come,
something that will be done in the not
distant future
These are only examples, and one
has only to walk along Main street
bearing them in mind to realize how
little effort It would need to make II
very much more beautiful than II Is
