NEGATIVE THANKFULNESS

Not only for what we have, but for
what we haven't, let us be thankful.
We return from a prosperous oc-
cupation to a snug home unscarred by
bursting shell, unlooted by ravaging
enemy horde. Our loved ones are
about us. We need not look for them
in unmarked graves in battle-seared
wilderness. The hearth does not
stand a cold and blackened pile
against a sky clouded with the red
smoke of conflict.
We are not homeless, cringing at
death which turks in every object,
fleeing from invaders heart-hardened
from months of slaughter. Our crops
have not been destroyed; our time
honored monuments and works Of art
have not been shattered.
We are at peace.
Truly we should be thankful for
what we have not.

THE WASTE PLACES

Have you a corner billboard among
your possessions? Or perhaps a sunk
en-, weedy lot where once stood the
tumble-down house you bought as an
investment? Or maybe a lot or two
that you received on a bad debt? Or a
little flyer in real estate whose wings
wouldn't carry its weight?
If you possess any one of these, you
can help to solve three of Columbia's 3
problems: how to make the city beau
tiful. how to employ the unemployed.
how to lower the high cost of living
for those to whom living at any cost
is problem.
Waste places may be developed in

Theft? Wanton destruction? Lack
of care? Surely, in some cases. Even
so, scores of waste places in Colum-
bia would yield some good where
weeds and dust and ruin are now the
only returns while the land awaits
the unearned increment.
With an organized plan to attain
such results, Columbia will unite
with the modern doctrine of efficiency
and conservation the prophecy that
the waste places shall bloom as the
rose.

Temperance and Prohibition.

Editor the Missourian: note in re-

ters in your paper a tendency to con-
fuse the terms Temperance" and PRO
hibition." They are not the same.
Temperance comes from within; pro-
hibition from without. Temperance
means that a man is controlling him
self; prohibition, that he is controlled
by others or is controlling others.
One is purely an individual term; the
other indicates an action of society.
Let's not confuse the idea.

TO MAKE TRADE INVESTIGATIONS

Associated Advertising Clubs Set q
Guide for Business in 1914.
The Associated Advertising Clubs OF
the World are conducting their third
continent-wide campaign for selecting
marketing centers in the United
States and Canada in which to inves-
tigate business conditions.
The unsettled trade conditions
caused by the European war in 1914
were an incentive to the advertising
clubs to report the actual change in
purchases for an index month in that
year over the same month of the prev
ious year. These Investigators an
nounced that the typical consumer of
North America had decreased his pur-
chases 2.3 per cent.
This investigation being commended
by financiers, merchants and business
men another was made the year after,
which showed an average increase in
American consumption of 1888 per
cent.
The investigation for 1916 will COW
er the six principal retail lines, de-
partment, grocery, hardware, clothing,
jewelry and drug stores. The purpose
will be to give definite facts on which
to base sales and advertising efforts
for the coming year. The investiga-

perity and depression, as well as re-

FANNING A POET AND SINGER
Baritone Was First Ambitious to Be
q Literary Man.

Cecil Tanning, who is to give the
next concert of the Phi Mu Alpha Sc
ries December 4, is comparatively
young in the musical world but has
become recognized as a baritone Of
unusual ability. He has won an en-
viable reputation from his concert
tours all over the United States, Can
ada, England and Great Britain.
Mr.. Tanning first started out when
but fourteen years old to be literary
man. He had a passion for writing
and an ambition to be a great actor.
When he began to take voice training
he discovered the possibilities of his
voice. He did not entirely forsake
his literary work, however, for since
he chose his life profession, he has
written a volume of verse, Flower
Strewn Threshold" and two cantatas,
"Sir Olaf" and the Foolish Virgins"
His dramatic and literary instincts
have also been infused into his sing
ing. He tries to seek the spirit of
what he sings and endeavors to give
its mood and sentiment definite and
sympathetic expression. His diction
is also praised for its clearness and
finish. He is spoken of an as inter-
pretative singer.
Mr.. Fanning's wonderful success is
in large measure due to his first in
structor, H. B. Turpin. who acts as
accompanist. 1t was Mr.. Turpin who
first discovered Mr.. Fanning's unusual
talent and encouraged him on to great
er things.

THE HOUR EARLIER DAY

Take time by the forelock" is an
old saying put into literal use last
summer with more or less success.
Here and there throughout the world
clocks were set ahead one hour, ad-
vantage was taken Of the daylight
hours, and gas and electric bills saved.
1t was true, efficient economy.
Now the New York Daylight Saving
Committee has arranged a national
convention of representatives from
chambers of commerce, boards of
trade, governors and mayors through
out the country, the American Bank
ers' Association, the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and other bodies. These
representatives will sit in New York
January 80 and 81 and discuss the
plan of setting the clocks of the Unit
ed States ahead one hour from May
to September 80, 1917.
The American Railway Association
will not antagonize the movement and
probably will print explanatory sche-
dulles and run trains accordingly, pro-
vided the principal business and mu-
nicipal centers, together with the
States and local authorities, adopt
the new day.
The good of the new day to society
will. not stop with the saving of $4O,-
100000 in gas and electric bills. To
get up with the sun to the singing of
the birds and fill the lungs with cool,
clean morning air will make health
ier, more optomistic, cheerful people
and will spread contentment from
coast to coast. Let's work for the
new daylight day.

each other. The captain boarded at
Widow Jerrold's house when his ship
was in port.

said to Widow Jerrold.

Aye, sir" said the mate, trembling
in his shoes.
Captain Israel was on the reforming
tack. He drank nothing but milk and
barley water. and his speech was as
mild as a pet lambs. He came into
port with dirty ship and mutinous
crew, and calling them all mister.
He was very much distressed that
evening when he came back from

He frightened up at that. Widow
Abigail had promised to let him ask
her to marry him the next time his
ship came in, provided he hadn't
smoked IL the meantime. However, a
contretenps marked his arrival. His
men had mutinied fatty, and he had
knocked one of them down, reduced

he didn't have much trouble getting

ne was a fair man and the grub was
good. However he was a terror at
times-before he met Widow Abigail
at Biddeford.
Widow Abigail had had her eye on
him for long time, and the can

day being allowed to marry Widow
Abigail was the star of his life. No
