SEPARATE UNITS OF 4,
BLACKS ARE PLANNED

WASHINGTON, b. c., Sept. 90
Negro troops OF the national army
will be organized in separate units as
is done In the regular army, and so
far as possible will be trained in the
states where they are raised. The call
for drafted negroes to mobilize at
their camps will be postponed to al
low officers of the camp to arrange
for the organization Of these separ-
ate units.
Both white and negro men of the
selective forces will be given an OPP
portunity to volunteer to battalions
for service on the line Of communica-
ton, their work being military but
not combatant. There also will be,
however. negro fighting regiments OF
the national army. as there are Of the
regulars and national guard.
OF the $4,000 men called for as
the first increment Of the national
army, 1t Is estimated that approximate
ely 10000 will be negroes.
In all, the army in France will
need, 1t has been estimated, more
than 100000 men behind the lines
for use along the roads and railways
or on other special work. A great
many battalions of both white and
negro troops will be necessary for
those purposes and the war depart
ment feels certain that many Of the
negroes of the selective draft forces
will volunteer for this duty, in order
to be sent quickly to France.

CONVICTS RIOT IN
PRISON AT JOLIET

JOLIET, ILL.,, Sept. 20.-In a riot
In the, state prison here today one
convict was shot and three guards
stabbed.
The rioters numbered about fifty.
of whom fifteen were ringleaders in
the riots of two months ago. The
fifteen, led by Wiemand. had been in
solitary confinement up to two weeks
ago, when Warden Murphy restored
them to their former status as con-
victs.
They were still unruly and inclin-
ed to growl at the restrictions on
privileges instituted by the new war
den in an attempt to restore disci-
pline which had been sadly democrat
lied by too much honor system"
Among the privileges enjoyed by
the convicts was an almost unlimited
correspondence with sentimental wo-
men, many of whose letters were
made public during an investigation
last summer.
The first trouble occurred yester-
day. At breakfast call about twenty
of the convicts broke from the line
and one. selling spade, is said to
have threatened one of the guards.
The latter. after ordering the convict
to drop the weapon shot him. Ten
convicts were placed in solitary con-
finement.
This morning at the same hour the
trouble broke out anew. The emer-
gency whistle sounded and in the me-
lee which followed between the
guards and about fifty convicts, three
of the guards were stabbed.
The guards dubbed their rifles and
apparently succeeded in restoring Or
der.

Tavern, will be officially dedicated to

public. An artistic and imposing
structure. within and without, such
as the Boone Tavern is, deserves a
special consideration by the towns
people on the advent of its formal
opening.
Rejecting credit upon the city in
numerous ways, the Tavern can fit
tingly receive the commendation of
representative citizens who take pride
in the development and progress of
Columbia In no city of the state or
of surrounding states within the size
of Columbia will be found more
praiseworthy inn or one which even
equals the Daniel Boone Tavern in
its many appointments.

munity welfare-manifest itself Sat
urday night in an overflow attend
ance at the opening celebration.

FARMERS COOPERATIVE CLUBS
Interest i'm the Work Increases in
the State.

Interest in cooperative activities OF
farmers clubs is growing in South
Missouri. An inspection of the re-
cords of material of club programs
sent out to club secretaries shows that
South Missouri counties are requiring
more of this material in proportion to
the number of clubs than North Mis-
souri, counties. Of the forty counties
which stand the highest in request for
material, thirty-five are in South Mis-
souri,. The first fifteen counties are ::
Henry, Laclede, Camden, Christian,
Pulaski, Newton, Pike, Dent Reynolds.
Webster, st. Clair, Jasper. st. Louis
and Mcdonald.
Of the seventy-nine counties which
have completed organization of farm
ers' clubs, forty-nine are in South
Missouri, nine are in Central Mis-
souri, and twenty-one are in North
Missouri. The counties which have
the largest number of organizations
are Johnson, 80, Gasconade SO, Bar
ton, 80; Vernon, 81; Montgomery, 81;
Lincoln, 30; Macon, 30; Nodaway, 30;

STEADY THERE!

In times of war radicalism is an
essential element of administrative
leadership. Conservatism does not
win battles, nor does it properly
equip the army of its constituency to
win battles. We must be guided by
radicals, not only in the administra-
tive offices of our government and
army, but in the various branches Of
civilian life which aid directly the
military organization.
But there is current opinion that
the radical element must be a fanatic
of some variety. The expression, rad
icalism, connotes fanaticism to the
average person. He is naturally sus-
picious of anything branded radical
as a result. This Interpretation OF the
term radical is quite wrong. The
radical is not necessarily irrational,
as the fanatic is most likely to be.
In fact, radicalism should follow
closely behind rationalism. In other
words, the vigorous and intelligent
thinking man is more apt to discover
the truths of radicalism than the man
who acts upon emotions or impulses.
What we need to win this war is
rationalized radicalism. Keep the
boat steady, but plunge ahead, to put
it figuratively. We want aggressive
leadership, but we want it backed by
brains. Let's put aside emotions and
fanaticism until after the war Let's
all pull together and yell STEADY
there to the fellows in the back of
the boat who can't keep still

Thirty-three fixtures are broken at

globes are in lock sockets and can
not be taken unless the fixture is
