 It is wondered by sizable number of Stafford people if the Italian Band will give any Sunday evening concerts this summer in Hyde park, as that organization did last summer. It will be remembered that every concert by the band the summer previous to this attracted a large number to the park and was an occurrence of much pleasure. The hope that the band will give other concerts, beginning soon, is rather general entertain ment. It has been suggested that the members may be compensated for their work by the passing around of the hat People should be willing to contribute for the pleasure they would have.

Nine Years Ago.

The Columbia opera house will be
dedicated by the famous prima dona
Ctmille D'Arville, on the evening OF
March II, and it is a safe assertion
to say that there is no finer theater in
he central part of Missouri"
What Columbia needs at this time
is a ma, or and a city council who will
Eive us a business-like administra-
ton - our city affairs"
IF an electric railroad is built
through Boone County it will greatly
enhance the value of farms nearby.
Nothing would prove such tre-
mendous factor in the future growth
and expansion of Columbia as an ell
ectric railroad connecting it with st.
Louis and Kansas City The effect
upon the town would be noticed in a
very short time. We'd soon see the
difference between living on a real
railroad and being tied down to a
branch line"

NATIONAL AID FOR FARMERS

The Hollis Rural Credits Bill, which
promises longtime loans to farmers
at not more than ) per cent, has been
reported fayorably by the Senate
Committee.
The administrative features of the
ILL are patterned after those of the
Federal Reserve Act which is Il point
in its favor. Ii proposes a non-par-
tisan farm loan board with the sec
retary of the treasury as one mem-
ber. the others TO be appointed by the
President. The board has powers to
charter farm loan banks, which will
take mortgages from farmers on long
time and issue bonds, with the mort
cages as securities.
1t is comparatively easy for large
corporation or small business to fl
nance itself. The Federal Reserve
Act has provided the long-needed re-

WHAT ONE COUNTY HAS DONE

St Louis County has voted in favor
of an issue of $3,O00,00O worth of bonds
for good roads and bridges.
During the floods of last August
many of the bridges in st. Louis COun-
ty were swept away. Without this
bond issue, increased taxation would
be necessary in order to replace them.
That the county is well able to adopt
such an issue is unquestionable in
view of the assessed valuation of its
possessions. Moreover, the new bond
issue represents the sole Indebtedness
of st. Louis County.
The result of the good roads and
bridges made possible by these bonds
will be closer connections, more sub
urban attractions and better service
for the suburban resident who motors
to and from his place of business. More
homes will spring up, st. Louis will be
at the very door OF the county and
travel will have no winter but perpet-
ual good weather.

HIS BIRTHDAY

! DR.. Richard Fl. Jesse, former presi-
dent of the University. is 63 years old
/ today and says that he expects to have
one good smoke in celebration of the
anniversary. Doctor jesse has not
been actively connected with the
University since 1908, when he re-
tired from the presidency and was
succeeded by Doctor Hill.
Doctor Jesse was born at Epping
| Forest, Va, in 1858, amid environ
ments that produced great men. His
birthplace was the old Ball farm,
where George Washington's mother
was born. He says that his life was
the usual one of boys on farm, hard
! work and some study" When Io years
old. Doctor Jesse went to Hanover
Academy. where for four years he
really labored." After the compile
tion OF this preparatory course he
entered the University of Virginia
and studied there but mot long
enough or in the right direction TO get
a degree" He says that he studied
everything that he wanted to study
and then quit to teach at Hanover
Academy. From lS76-7S Doctor Jes-
Sc was principal of Washington Col
lege. in Maryland He resigned that
position to take the office of dean of
the academic department at the Uni
yersity of Louisiana. In 1884 he went
to Tulane University at New Orleans.
where he was professor of Latin until
1891
Doctor Jesse came to the University
of Missouri in 1891, through the eff
forts of f. w. Stephens, whom he had
met earlier and who was his warm
personal friend.

form in regard to national banks
whose business is commercial or
short-time loans without collateral.
The farmer is still at a disadvantage,
The rates in Missouri for farm loans
is s per cent and in many states as
high as 10 per cent.
A farmer cannot obtain loan for
more than five years, and many loans
are made for one year. There should
be some plan for amortization, such
as authorized by the Gardner Land
Bank plan.
One of the biggest defects in our
present system is that farm loans are
not standardized. like the bonds of
railroads, public utilities and munic-
ipalities. The Hollis bill. the COM
mittee in the Senate claims, will
standardize farm loans all over the
country. since all mortgages must
be- approved by the boards of direc-
tors, and this security is expected
to make the bonds salable at per
cent They would run for long terms
and would be guaranteed by the Unit
ed States.

Permanent roads, like interurban
lines, bring trade to the town and also
reduce the cost of hauling. The
United States Bureau of Good Roads
has estimated that reducing the haul
cost is possible up to the full cost Of
the Improvement on long time road.
If the voters of Missouri realized this
fact there would be no doubt as to the
outcome of the several bond elections
that are TO be held on the rock road
question.

COMMISSION SAVES MONEY

North Yakima. Wash, is more than
satisfied with commission form oi
government, after four years of trial.
The cities like the change from po-
liticaI TO "A business basis. Notwith-
standing many improvements, the new
administration saved money and re-
duced the tax levy every year, and
that is what appeals to every citizen.
During 1915, for example, the city
paid off $49,O00 of its general bonded
Indebtedness. reduced the local i'm
proyement district Indebtedness by
S7l .2O2 and closed the books for the
year with a cash balance of Si1,151,
with warrants for only $ll,500 out
standing. During the year the city
was so nearly on cash basis that
only s25.33 was paid in interest on
warrants.
Despits the loss of S7,4l1 in reve-
nue. from saloon licenses and re-
duced tax levy, North Yakima main
tained every department of the city
and the expenses of the year were
So 900 less than estimated when the
budget for the year was made up the
previous fall before. City improve
ments included the purchase of three
motor cars, new fire station and
the installation of police alarm sys-
TEN. These are only few of the items
in the financial report of the city for
1918.
Commission government is not an
abstract theory. It's merely a COM
mon sense plan-the application of
business principles to the govern
ment of city.

eufficient number of runs to store the
game safely away, After this It was
easy FOR the local boys. and during

nexed five more. bringing their grand
total up to twelve.
There was a straight line of goose
eggs for the Cluster Spring boys until
the sixth inning, when they finally
broke the monotony and managed to
send a runner across. They garnered
.nelr second and final one in the fol-
Aowing chapter.
Although defeat for the visitors
seemed inevitable after the second
frame, they never gave UP their fight,
