Against these achievements the enc
mics of DR.. Hill offer the pitiful accu-
sation that, although he is natural
lied American, he was born in Nova
Scotia and is Republican in political
sentiments. II he is the right man
for the place this cannot possibly mat

Reorganization of the Board of Cur

Large sacks were in the hands Of
those present, and the appearance of
the victims was eagerly awaited.
Soon the guilty ones hove in sight
and mounted the steps of the doomed
coach. The besiegers arose from ev-
erywhere and the guns, large and
small, were directed on the pair Rice
came down in clouds, sweeping the
coach like a hurricane and filling the
collars of others and innocent passen-
gers. The vanquished pair huddled
low in a seat, and not until the food
of the Chinese was spent did hostili-

This scene was brought about by
the wedding of George Kohrs and
Miss Phoebe Craigo, both of this
city. They were married at 10 o'clock
Saturday morning by the Rev. A. B.
Coffman at his residence on Bridge
Terrace.
The wedding was attended by a
small group Of friends, among them
being Mrs. Curtis Forshey of near
Omaha, Neb., a sister of Miss Craigo,
and Miss Anna Miller and Emmett
Rice of Columbia.
Mr.. Kohrs is employed by the Wa
bash Market of this city, where he has
been for several years. Miss Craigo
was formerly employed by the Ste
phens Publishing Company. The couple
left Saturday morning for Lexington,
Mo-. where they will make a short
visit at the home of Mr.. Kohrs' mother.
They will be at home in this city at

ATTENTION! THE NEW YEAR

And with the tolling of the bells at
midnight, another year went glimmer-
ing into history and it has been an
eventful old year.
Attention! The New Year.
1t is here, youthful, blushing on the
threshold. It is an infant, with un-
told and unrealized possibilities.
Could we take the crystal ball OF
the seer and gaze into the future, we
might delye into the events to come
and get the years secret. We might
see the continuance or the end OF
happenings which have characterized
the last year.
What will 1917 bring?
With the coming of the New Year,
there is the dawn of peace in the great
European struggle. Before its close
all may be well in the Old World.
Soldiers will probably have thrown
aside their rifles for the tools of manu-
featuring. Cannons may be melted
into structural metal, and the birds
of war will no longer fly through the
air.
With the coming of the New Year,
there is the indication of commercial
struggle after the close of the war.
The United States is preparing.
Another year may see solution for
the present disagreement between
capital and labor. A tie of co-opera-
ton may be placed between them.
The passing of the high cost of liv-
ing will come within the course of this
New Year No longer will the pres
ent seeming hardships have to be en-
dured.
Nineteen Seventeen will bring to
Missouri a new governor capable and
filled with good resolves for the bet
terment of the old state. The passing
of the year will undoubtedly see the
realization of many of his plans.
To Columbia the New Year will
bring many civic improvements. 1t
will see the finish of two of the towns
largest buildings, possibly country
club and surely increased prosperity.
To the University it is opening an
other year of progress. And this
promises to be the turning point in
the financial history of the institu-
tion.
What will the New Year bring to
you?
The year will be Just what you your
self make it. Resolutions will be of
no avail without energy and initiative.
You can make it your brightest or
your most stormy year.
Attention! The New Year.

In the development OF a happy, contented,
.. That we take just pride in the pres

state Of Missouri, and especially in the rec

a struggle, with discouragement and mis-
fortune, and by means Of legislative ap-
preparations, too often sadly inadequate.
3. That We favor as liberal appropria- :

any and all efforts to impair the integrity

POLITICS AND THE UNIVERSITY

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch:
Gov. Major has very properly an
nounced that he will not appoint three
new members of the Board of CuratOrs
of Missouri University until he has
consulted Governor-elect Gardner.
The three are to be named to fill the
expired terms of C. B. Rollins of Co
lumbia, DIR. j. C. Parrish of Vandalia
and G. l.. Zwick of St. Joseph, all Re-
publicans, whose terms expire Jan. 1.
The Governors action is reassuring
in the face of repeated rumors that
clique of politicians is trying to seize
control of the university administra-
ton with a view to ousting President
A. Ross Hill or to making a longer
stay in Columbia intolerable for him.
The university must be kept out of
politics and out of the hands Of poll
ticians. To permit DR.. Hill to be sac
rificed to crafty the spite of few
personal enemies would be a calamity
to the State. In the last decade, par
ticularly since he has been president,
the enrolment at the big school has
more than doubled, notwithstanding
that the educational standards for ad-
mission into the technical and profess
sional departments have been raised.
Several new departments and two i'm
portant divisions, the School Of Jour
nalism and the School of Commerce
and Administration, have been estab-
lished.
The institution has been admitted
to the Association of American Uni
versities, comprising II privately en-
dowed institutions and the II best
state universities. 1t is one of the
six state universities admitted to the
benefits of the Carnegie Foundation,
privilege that has not yet been ex-
tended to its immediate neighbors, the
Universities of Illinois, Iowa, Nebras-
ka, Kansas and Arkansas. Nationally
II Is regarded as one OF the best or
ganized universities in the country
from the standpoints of both educa-
tional and business efficiency.
Practically all these distinctions
have been won under the administra-
tion of DR.. Hill and the present Board
of Curators. DR.. Hill has been honor
ed with important committee posi-
tions in all the foremost educational
of the country. He has
declined the presidency of another
state university which has far more
liberal financial backing than Missouri
has yet given to its own university

continue the work that has been so
fruitful at Columbia Nc other state

be shame to destroy any department
He asked for a fair deal for the old
school.
Rev. Mr.. Murphy, chairman of the
educational committee of the Com
merce Club, introduced the resolutions
which were adopted unanimously.
At the close of the luncheon the stu
dents sang "Old Missouri" the univer-
sity song, in most impressive way.

was then a comparatively small insti-
tuition. Now it has $500 students.
Miss Gala Warner, an instructor in
Central High School, spoke of the ne
cessity of keeping all the departments
posib.e in Columbia where the main
university is located.
Frank B. Fulkerson also attended
the university, and told of some of his
experiences there. In speaking of the
effort to divide the university he re-
ferred to the state motto: United we
stand: divided we fall" and said this
principle applies to the university as
well as the people. He said the open
ing wedge had been driven to divide
the university, but that any attempt
to further divide the school should
fail. He said it should be made
known that the peop.e of Missouri are
opposed to dividing the school.
Urges Alumni Organization.
c. F. Alt, principal of the Robidoux
high school, said an alumni association
should be formed in this part of the
state to foster friendly spirit for the
university. He quoted statistics to
show that Missouri, educationally,
should stand higher than it does.
William Weakley, a student. then
spoke on behalf of the students. He
said that the state has a magnificent

In a bulletin dealing with the whole sale supply and price of staple foods in New York issued by the health de- partment housewives are advised to substitute fish for meat, it being noted that there is an abundance of fish on the wholesale market and that it is far cheaper than meat.

No Hardship In Economy.

Economy of itself does not mean hardship. In most cases that is what 1t will result in. The reason is that we try to live as heretofore when we have not the means to do so. It's time we faced the facts and let the fact that the nation is at war sink into our systems. If we honestly adjust our selves to the stringency of war condi- lions, we will get along well as na- ton. If we don't, grim necessity will reduce us all to hardship, and we will all be compelled to pay the price. Economy is the science of using every item to best advantage. That Is as 1t should be. After years of extravagant living the transition to the new order will not be- easy. Yet whatever the cost. 1t must be done. It Is not mat ter of convenience, but of necessity. So your uncle calls upon you to bury the sentiment and get acquainted with the facts.

organized by the states. Although dur ing the years from 1775 to 1781 the total strength averaged about 6O,OOO. there were often not more than half that number in the field. At the end of the war the regular army was dis banded and was not increased until the war of 1872. During a part of that war the number of regular troops exceeded SO,OO0 and the militia num- bered 470,OO0. During the next thirty years the regular army averaged only 5000 men. During the Mexican war about 27,000 regular troops and "A 900 volunteers were enrolled. During the first year of the Civil war the number of the regular army rose to 32,0O0. Lincoln's first call for volun- teers, April 15, 1861, was for 75,OOO men for three months. At the begin ming of 1862 the number of volunteers in the field was about 550,OOO. Dur ing the next three years it was about 100000. At the close of the war the Union army numbered 100000 men. The total number of troops furnished first and last was 2,S5O,OO0 men.

 But I want to fix you up before the doctor comes. You'll need more sheets anyway" she was looking for the number. Hello, Bryant S2200.- Ardman's ?-The linen department please"
 The flush on Helen's face was not due wholly to the fever, as she listened with smothered resentment to Miss Saunders authoritative order for four sheets, double-bed size. sent special.
 Her aversion for this nurses asser- tive personality had become feverish animosity And her extravagance- her wasteful extravagance!
 Miss Saunders was now by the bed shaking down the thermometer.
 .Oh, rinse 1t off first!" objected Helen, shrinking back.
 "Rinse 1t off" with flush of dis pleasure. q never give thermome- ter without washing 1t thoroughly. Under the tongue, please"
 Their eyes met in open hostility as Helen held the glass tube between her unwilling lips. It had not been washed
 With an air of cold displeasure, Miss Saunders took her pulse, removed the thermometer and replaced it still un- washed.
 Knowing her temperature was taken every few hours. Helen grimly deter mined to watch that thermometer. Would she dare give 1t to her again without making even pretense at rinsing it?
 There had been other things about which the nurse seemed inexcusably careless. In many little ways Helen knew she was deliberately ignoring the doctors orders about the sterile and antiseptic precautions.
 "Td like to brush my teeth first" as Miss Saunders appeared with cup of chicken broth.
 "You can do that afterward. want you to have this while it's hot"
 "I haven't brushed my teeth this morning." combated Helen firmly
 Her thin mouth set in obstinate lines, she brought glass of water, toothbrush and small enameled bowl. Beyond holding the glass. she made no effort to prop Helen's head or to help in the awkward operation.
 "Oh, I hate her-I hate her!" f1ared Helen inwardly as the nurse removed the things, her disdainful fingers hold ing the toothbrush as though 1t were contaminating.
