FEBRUARY RAN TRUE TO FORM
Mean Temperature Only Fraction Oi
Degree Under Normal.

The February just past is the first
month since last August with a mean
temperature of below normal The
average daily temperature excess from
September | to March l has been
nearly three degrees.
In spite of the mildness of the
winter, there have been several cold
spells. during which the temperatures
have been as low or lower than the
average low temperatures. The low
est in December was zero, in Janu-
airy 10 degrees below and in Febru-
AIRY degrees above. These cold pc
riods, however. have been of relative
ly short duration.
The month just past. with a depart
ure of but fOur-tenths of a degree has
been the nearest normal of any Feb
ruary in the history of the Columbia
station, twenty-six years.
The monthly sunshine was 40 per
cent. But two previous Februarys
have had less.
The precipitation was 81 inch. the
least recorded in any February since
1907. Only two previous Februarys
have been drier.
The greatest daily range of tenn
perature was 2S degrees, the least on
record for February.
Following the wettest summer since
1902. the past winter has had pre-
cipitatiOn above the average by two

CHICKENS BOTHER COLUNBIANS
But ]. VI. Batterton Thinks Ii Matter
Tor the Police, Not the Mayor.

J. NJ. BattertOn thinks some COlum-
bia citizens consider him a member OF
the police department as well as
mayor. Mr. Batterton said the other
day that he had received several let
ters the last few weeks asking him
to see that property owners keep their
chickens from running at large
There is a city ordinance requiring
that residents keep their chickens
from running at large, but the mayor
says it is not enforced. One letter re-
ceived by the mayor within the last
few days asks him to notify chicken
owners to pen up their pets, as they
scratch lawns, making it impossible
to keep the grass in good shape. The
letter asserted that even now there
are twenty-five or thirty old hens in
my yard"
The letter went on to state the
mayor might send out a sleuthing
party to get the names of all who are
allowing their chickens to run at large.
This. in the writer's opinion. would
make others keep up their chickens.
Mayor Batterton said he would take
no action in the matter. He said if
the persons want any action. they
must make their complaints to the
police

Those who attended the lecture in

did not refer TO state affairs other
than to say that 'the University,

the press of Missouri is considered
second only to that of New York, and
its standing is largely due to the in

''Godfearing patriotism is counted
part of the boys education in almost
all countries except America, and we
teach it neither in church nor school,
except in the primary schools OF New
