CD, WILLIAMS TALKS AT SERVICE
Episcopal Bishop Addresses Union
Meetings of Churches.

A large audience heard DIR. Charles
d. Williams of Detroit, bishop of the
Episcopal churches Of Michigan, at
the union service in the University
Auditorium last evening. The bishop
was introduced by A. Ross Hill,
president of the University. He spoke
in part as follows:
Passion is a great factor in the
building up of manhood, but only
when it is subjected to the slightest
touch of conscience. Whenever a
young man lets the material world
laugh him out of the dreams of his
youth and accepts the average in the
commercial and social world around,
he has lost the great battle of life.
ANY person who does not profess
a religious belief has religion exactly
upside down. The danger of life is
that we may be overcome by the
world The victory of life is the bend
ing and surrender;ng of the world to
the purposes of the spirit"

COLUBIA'S LIBRARY

The chief objection to a public Ii.
brary for Columbia seems to be the
presence of the University Library
The University Library does not
take the place of a city library. The
books contained therein are largely
reference books of more technical
nature. Fiction and literature of a
lighter vein are almost entirely lack
ing. It is not the purpose of the Ii
brary to furnish reading matter for
the mere purpose of entertainment.
University students must depend on
the private libraries of local book
stores for their fiction. The latest
historical novels, late books on the
great war and fiction dealing with So
cial problems are widely read where
they are available, yet they are ex-
tremely hard to obtain in Columbia
without buying outright. University
students would patronize a Columbia
library as frequently as the citizens
of the town.
The larger university towns of the
Middle West possess fine libraries. In
these places the fields of the town
and university libraries overlap but
little. The university library is al
most exclusively for reference; the
city library furnishes the latest fiction
and novels based on the latest prob
lens of the day. The two libraries
combine in Offering to the students
and community books covering every
field.
Two libraries in Columbia will not
bring antagonism and jealousy but
stronger cooperation. A free library
for Columbia will mean a broadening
of the literary and esthetic field in
the Athens of Missouri" /

M. U. DAIRY JUDGING TEAM 4TH
Middle Western Men Outclass Eastern
at National Show.

The University dairy judging team
ranked fourth at the National Dairy
Show held at Springfield, Mass, this
last week.
Eighteen institutions were repre-
sented, and the middle western states
carried off the honors. Nebraska was
first; Kansas Aggies, second; Iowa
third. The first four teams were
trained by former students of Prof.
c. H. Eckles, chairman of the dairy
department of the University. Ne
braska's team was trained by E. G..
Woodland, who was graduated in 1911;
the Kansas Aggies, by o. E. Reed,
'0S; Iowa, by L. S. Gillette, A. M. IA.
Missouri was represented by NJ. H.
Fohrman, C. A. Trigg and E. NJ. Har-
mon. The trainer was L. w. Wing
These men left last Tuesday night
and are expected back tonight or to-
morrow.
Professor Eckles received a mes
sage yesterday that an Eckles club
had been organized in his honor by
his former students present at the
national show, with their teams and
representatives. Twelve former stu
dents of Professor Eckles are at the
head of dairy schools throughout the
country. Forty-one of his former stu
dents hold instructerships.

'CH|EF KURTzSTARTS
NEW FIRE MOVEMENT
Ward School Teachers Are
Asked to Help in Prevent
ing Blazes.
MAY HAVE CLASSES
Annual Loss in the United
States Is More Than
$25o,ooo,ooO.

Earl N. Kurtz, chief of the Columbia
fire department, has requested that
all the ward school teachers of Co.
lumbia cooperate with him in a
campaign for the prevention of fires.
Chief Kurtz has asked the teachers
to talk to their classes on the preven-
ton Of fires. Chief Kurtz said he
thought it would be good plan to
have a course on fire prevention in
the ward schools. This, he said,
would not take up very much time,
probably one hour a week and would
be Of great benefit to the children.
If the people of the town will take
an interest in the work and cooperate
with him the loss by fire will be
greatly lessened, says the chief. A
similar movement for the prevention
of fires will be carried on all over the
United States.
Statistics for the year 1915 show
better than words the reckless way
the American people handle their
property. There were in 1915 no less
than 3,152 individual fires, which in
each instance caused an estimated
property damage of more than S1O,-
900.
The total fire loss of the United
States now averages more than $780,
100000 a year. In 1915 it showed a
slight drop, but there is no reason
to believe that this is more than tenn
porary. for the losses thus far in
1916 indicate that they will be far
greater when the year is completed.

HOW DO YOU JUDGE A CITY?

When asked your opinion of city
how do you pass your judgment upon
it? By what standards do you
measure it?
The average man would reply, by
its civic improvements and business
activities" These are expressions in
the concrete of the life and thought
of the people of any community.
Columbia is one of Missouri's
most progressive small cities. Apply
the standard of civic Improvements.
Columbia has more paved streets than
any city of its population in the state.
These streets are clean.
Columbia's residence districts will
compare favorably with those of any
city. Her Office buildings are superior
to those of other cities of this size
Each year brings its quota of new
buildings. This year has given to the
city a new theater, a new modern
hotel and a new bank building. Next
year will bring more.
Columbia's stores are superior.
They take on a metropolitan air and
give service which makes them attrac-
tive to the people of all cities of the
states. the students. Her merchants
are progressive. Her business volume
is larger than that of any Missouri
city with a similar number of in
habitants.
Fire protection is hobby with CO.
lumbians, and the local fire depart
ment is a model for other small cities
of the state
Many of the more critical would
raise the objection that Columbia has
the University and two colleges;
hence it would necessarily be larger
than any other small city in many
respects. But this objection is only
a compliment to those earlier citizens
who through their endeavors made
possible the location of the three edu-
cational institutions here.
Many University cities are less pro-
gressive than Columbia. A restless
forward moving spirit pervades the
atmosphere of Columbia. 1t citizens,
individually and collectively, are
striving each day for the future of the
small city. They are dreaming dreams
OF larger and more modern Co.
lumbia.

After Dick reluctantly went l sort

in Eleanor Fairlow's hand and from
them-think of it, little book-she
was writing Dick of her love and their
wonderful happiness together while l
was waiting for Sonny. At times she.
even mentioned me, feeling sorry
that was i'll. Then the letters grew
sad. Even she sees that Dick is not
hers any longer and the letters grow
further between until that last.
They are beautiful letters, little
book-the thoughts of woman who
has a poets soul and who has invest
ed the man she loves with all the
manly virtues. She never for one
moment finds any fault with him,
only with herself and Fate. Every
sentence, every paragraph, every
page, every letter is filed with that
subtlest of batteries that a clever
woman keeps for the man she loves.
In thinking over my married life
feel perhaps that l have not used as
much of this lubricant of love as L
did before marriage. 1t is strange,
little book, that we do not say as nice
things to those we love and with
whom we must live day after day as
we do to strangers, acquaintance or
even our sweetheart.
