SAVE THE BIRDS

The bonnie wee brides" which
have braved the cold blasts of the
north wind and the snow drifts of the
winter months in order to remain with
us as constant reminders of the COM
ing balmy days are in danger of starry
alton.
Owing to the many rains and the
freezing nights the earth is TO the
birds one vast show window, where,
like the hungry boy who stands before
the bakeshop, they may gaze upon the
food but may not touch it.
If this condition continues. il will
be necessary for kindhearted Missouri
ans to lend first aid 10 the birds. 9th
erwise the woodland trees will be with
out many of the nests that make them
look so honey and the fragrant
spring AR VIII not De so 1ull OF the
twitterings and cheeps that please the
ear and lull the senses during the
nesting time.
The birds give us their all in the
warm seasons. Each morning they re-
mind us with joyful song that "Alrs
well with the world" Each evening
they teach us a lesson of right living
and honest endeavor. And even when
the winter comes. they stay. if living
is AT all possible Consequently. we
are under obligations to see that they
do not starve for want of the grain
that we have stored so bOuntifully in
our barns or for lack of the bread
crumbs that we so thoughtlessly
sweep up and cast into the fire.

Are you a lOw-brow?
Pardon the question, but one can't

Some of us may eat pie with our
knives at home and chortle with glee
az the antics of Charlie Chaplin, but
if We don't do it out in polite society
we have a perfectly good alibi.
Likewise, some of us may belong to
exclusive clubs devoted to the study
of art or literature or music or some
of the sciences, and by maintaining an
impressive reserve and hiring some
student to write our semi-occasional
papers for us We may hOodwink the
esteemed fellOw-members for years.
Now you. for instance, may talk flu
emily and beautifully about some thing
the rest of us don't understand, and if
you don't use slang or shovel your
food at the table it never would do to
accuse you; but, really and truly,
cross your heart and hope to die, are

BLESSINGS AND CURSES

Every Town. according to tradition,
has seven blessings and seven curses.
Columbia is unusually blessed among
municipalities. Here are some OF the
things that make life in Columbia
worth while:
Congenial residents;
The University of Missouri;
stephens and Christian colleges:
No saloons:
Twenty miles OF paved streets:
Thriving industries;
Municipal water and light systems.
COlumbia's curses, if they be so call
ed. are SC minor that il takes thought
10 assemble them. While the seven
curses do not detract in any considera-
BILE degree from the pleasure of life
here. their abolition would improve
the fair name the city already enjoys.
One version of the curses is:
Poor hotel accommodations for
guests:
Narrow sidewalks:
Unpaved spaces in sidewalks:
Lack of a reservoir:
incomplete sewer system;
No parks
No Fairgrounds.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Dispositions of Various Matters by
Judge and Jury

The attention of the district court
was given over all day Friday to
hearing testimony from witnesses in
the Estate of James Hess, son of o.
G. Hess. Witnesses for both sides
were examined in very quiet way,
but when court was taken up next
morning at eight o'clock, things be-
gan to get warm.
Mccoy & Mccoy and Dan Davis
are appearing for the defendant,
while Shangle and Waggoner are ap-
pearing for the plaintiff. Mr.. Davis
while examining the father, Mr..
Gould Hess, made things lively, and
Mr.. Hess in his answers was not far
behind. The trouble comes about
through the settling up of the James
Hess estate. James Hess had been
married and divorced; and after OBJ.
tanning the divorce lived with the
woman for a year or so. After his
death Mrs. Hess comes in, and
through the Common Law marriage
rights claims her share in his estate
Testimony was finished late Satur'
day evening, but the decision was
left to Judge Willcockson. who ad
journed court until Thursday of this
week at one-thirty o'clock; and who
has returned no verdict as yet.
