Hammock Stand Worth While.

Instead of hanging the hammock
from house To tree or Clothes-liEe pole
or pergola. buy a hammock Sclnd and
awning which can be moved about the
yard to any location you may desire
at any time: under this awning build
a little platform, which will allow you
70 use the hammock when the ground
is damp, without danger of catching
cold by werting your feet; and you
may also incloSe the whole affair in
screening. thereby making comfor-
table sleeping room for a hot night.
Around the yard plant as many
shrubs and Towering plants aS space
will permit. and then see thar the
grass is kept as well watered and
trimmed as is that on the front lawn.
Do these things and you will not
only enjoy them yourself, but some day
when you want To rent or sell the
house. you will find it much easier
task than would be the case if you
had nothing back of the house to show
except an UnSightly back yard.

many years by standard medical books

Bandanas Are in VOGUE

The Introduction Of the Southern
oandana cottons has been one Of the
results Of Americans looking to their
own country for ideas to Incorporate
Into French designs. A leading MILL
ner Of New York got in the Southern
resorts the inspiration to introduce the
brilliant cottons Of that country into
fashionable apparel. Nothing would de-
light the Southern mills more than a
widespread use of the material which
they make in such beautiful design
and such remarkably good weaving.

LET US GIVE THANKS

The Thanksgiving proclamation OF
President Wilson is another Of those
inspiring utterances from the chief
executive which have done so much in
the last year to buoy up the courage Of
our people. 1t strikes the great note
of humanitarianism and pledges the
American people to a great service
to mankind. The President points out
that there are blessings even greater
than the blessings of peace and
prosperity of enterprise"
This first year of our participation
in the great war we are to be thank
full that we have cast our lot with the
foes of tyranny. We are pledged to
great service. a service which will
require much sacrifice; but which will
result in freeing the oppressed and Of
tanning forever the oppressor. We are
TO be thankful as a nation that we
have the men and the resources to
carry this great task to successful
conclusion. We are to be thankful
that we are united in purpose and that
we can forget our problems at home
long enough to go abroad and succor
our neighbors.
The proclamation of President Will
son is touching in its appeal and
sincere in its humility to the Deity
who directs all. Its great point is
that the Thanksgiving of 1917 is to be
one for service, and not of selfishness.
We are pledged to serve, and we are
thankful that We are prepared to
serve.

fires and heard all the quaint stories
they tell, has lately published a
group of these stories. The tales con-
tain a great deal of the legend and
much of the custom of the Indians,
but their charm is enchanced by the
manner of telling.
In an entertaining, yet somewhat
pathetic little foreword, signed by the
chiefs of various Indian tribes, the
fact that the Indians now have little
left save the stories of their fathers
is brought out. The foreword also
says that the telling of the stories
may cause the palefaces to under
stand their Indian brothers better.
The Indian tells the stories to Indian
children to make them unselfish, and
the fOreword suggests that the same
service may be performed foE the
palefaces by the "Stories the Iroquios
Tell Their Children"
The reasons for all things are told
to the children-why the partridge
drums, why the Indian loves his dog,
why crows are pOor-all these things
are explained. The illustrations are
characteristic and true to life.

WELCOME, THE JAYHAWKER

The eyes of Missouri and Kansas,
from the smallest village to the big
gest city, will next week be on Colum-
bia, Missouri. For on Rollins Field
there will occur the biggest annual
contest, the Thanksgiving Day battle
between the Tiger and the Jayhawker.
From all parts of the two states,
alumni of the two schools will return
their tales of the good old days
bringing joy to the credulent fresh
men. their spirit of love for "Old Mis-
sou" and Kansas bringing them re-
spect from the thousands of under
classmen who, like themselves, will
attend the big game to cheer on the
two battling football elevens.
Columbia this week is having the
windows washed, raking leaves from
the front yards and putting the extra
cot in the bedroom that nothing may
be lacking when the visitors arrive.
The old spirit of Beat Kansas the
signs of Eat That Rockchalk Up" the
spirit of fight against the Jayhawker
are forgotten in preparations to well
come the Kansas visitors. Up until
the time the whistle blows out on Rol-
lins Field and the game is on Column
bia will keep in reserve her spirit of
fight against the ancient enemy. There
will be an extra amount Of energy
in the roofing perhaps, due to this
period of conservation, but, in the
meantime, Columbia recognizes her
opportunity in entering the visitors.
So, welcome the Jayhawkers!
