M. U. TO REFUND LATE
STUDENTS FEES

Nearly 1000 students had enrolled
at the University of Missouri before
the period of registration ended, and
prospects were that late enrolment
would bring the total to within small
percentage of the number here last
year. Many prospective students are
delayed on account of farm work and
for war reasons. Because Of this the
University will until November / re-
fund the usual late registration fee of
SIS where good reason for lateness is
shown.
In his opening address of the new
University year, President A. Ross
Hill admonished students to do their
best work and not be slackers while
their older brothers are giving their
all for their country. Regular class
work in all the departments of the
University began Thursday morning,
September 20. Special attention will
be given to those delayed in enrolling
so that they may get all the benefits
of their courses.

TOURISTS CONDEMN
MISSOURI ROADS

Tourists in travelling through Mis-
souri, invariably make complaint of
the conditiono bridges and culverts.
1t is hard for them to understand why
a county, township or road district
will spend several hundred dollars, or
perhaps several thousand dollars, in
building bridges and culverts, and then
neglect to fix the approaches so that
the bridge may be crossed in safety
and comfort. Many culverts leave a
hump in the road, which makes trav-
cling dangerous and retards progress
in making a cross-state trip. The
"water- breaks" which were formerly
considered necessary to drain the wa
ter from public road, have been for
gotten in Missouri counties, but there
are still few relics of the early-day
road construction, and all county high
way engineers and good roads enthu-
siasts throughout Missouri are urged
