Dear Editor-I was obliged to shorten
my visit in Clio as | overtaxed my
strength in walking to the Pine Run
cemetery, to Farranvile and back in the
sand. / promised to write to so many
of my friends that / thought this would
be the easiest way for them to hear
from me. | visited my grandparents
old home in the town of Bose, Ashland
County, where / was borh in log tav-
ern which they kept to accommodate
the travelling public. The house has
been removed but the barns are still
standing, where / strung wire and
walked back and forth for the amuse-
ment of those dear ones who have since
passed away. Only one is living. this
cousin Phrone, to whom l wrote the
following poem. The same cherry trees
are there and the old lily plants, which
| remember so well. 1t is fifty years
since saw them. 1t was sad and yet
it was beautiful. Nearly all who know
me will remember this cousin. She Wis.,

ing of Mrs. Anson Beebe. nv sister-in-
law, who is eighty years old. The time

pleasant time, but was glad to get back

TO MY COUSIN, SOPHRONIA DAY
Where are those days, dear cousin,
That were filled with joyous glee?
Have they gone, alas, forever?
Will they not come back to you and
me?
Methinks | hear thy voice
Ringing out in merry glee
On the old log house
Or in the cherry tree.
And dear old Grandma's eyes. so sharp,
With her glasses trying to scan
Into every nook and corner
If we hadn't some mischief planned.
She hid those very large apples
In the kitchen under the floor:
You, cousin, urged me to get them,
Then, laughingly. closed the door.
In the old dark cellar
l patiently had to wait
Until dinner was over and dishes washed
Into the afternoon quite late.
How many such scenes remember;
First laugh, then the tears will start.
Do you wonder. my loving cousin.
Since so many years we've beenapart?
And l trust these years haven't es-
tranged
The love that was so strong;
Let us think of nothing but the old days,
And be happy as we go along.
Now. write and tell me all, Frone;
Your joys and sorrows free:
And will keep them in heart,
And lovingly think of thee.
MRS. OLIVE WEBSTER.

attempted to solve the problem of
how to infuse-direct from Within

and all the interior functions of the

Mr.. Seltz would eliminate the too

nerve and muscle-control from direct

UNIVERSITY THIS FALL

The prospects for the next schoo
year at the University are good. Al
though the war may cause sligh
change in the makeup of the studen
body, it is certain that there will bC
a large enrolment.
The enrolment at the University
depends largely upon the agricul'
tural conditions of the state. Many
of the students come from the small
towns and the rural districts. The
farmers have never had so much
money as they will have this year
when the harvest has been gathered,
and if they are willing to spend the
money for the education of their
children, the University should have
a larger rural representation.
The student body is women to 35
or 40 per cent. There should be just
as large an attendance, if not a larg-
er attendance of women here next
year. If they do intensive studying
along home problems, they should be
of much help in the food conservation
movement.
1t is relative to the probable num-
ber of men students that there has
been considerable discussion. Sixty
to 20 per cent of the student body is
under 21 years of age. Scarcely 20
per cent of the men students are more
than 81, or within the draft age. And
the probability is that not more than
10 per cent of those students will be
drafted. With the exemptions it may
be seen that the draft itself should
not affect more than two or three per
cent of the men students.
COlumbians can be of great service
to the University next year by writ
ing letters to their young friends. |
who live in various parts of the state, |
urging them to attend the University
Not only will they help Columbia, but |
they will be of far greater service to |

Little local contractors on local

that can be achieved by ability and
long experience, plus integrity and

van in Golfers Weekly. Thus always

will be difficult, however, to convince

Several of these country editors are
members of the Missouri Writer'S
Guild, which is organized so that Mis-
souri, writer's may 'be of help to each
other. This guild holds to the idea
that the woman writer is equal to the
man writer and therefore includes
both men and women in its member
ship. Both newspaper workers and
authors are included. Twenty-four
women are active members of the or
ganization.
Seven women writer's from Missouri
have a place in the American who's

the newspaper woman has a represen-
tation here. OF the newspaper writ
ers, Jane Frances Winn, already men,
toned, has a place. Mary Owen, a |
writer of folk lore from st. Joseph,
Mary Dillon, famous for her novel,
'The Rose of Old st. Louis; Fannie
Hurst, formerly of st. Louis, a writer
Of short stories and character novels;
Elizabeth Merriwether, and Sara Teas
1ale, a poet and short story writer,
make up this group of recognized
writer's from Missouri.
Prospects Bright for Women.
The prospects for women in jour-
lalism have never been brighter than
It present. The spirit of freedom
which has typified our Government
s noticed more and more. Women
lave never had a better opportunity to
show their intellectual ability and
o use their persuasive powers. With
he advance of the woman suffrage
movement and the recognition of wom-
n in the industries and professions,
he woman in journalism has her
hance. 1t is her own fault if she
oes not make good. If she has the
ualities so necessary for a successful
ewspaper woman, they must be
hown in her work. Missouri has the
Testern atmosphere of freedom and
fe-the atmosphere which urges the
mbitious woman, as the ambitious
ian, to go ahead and prove worthy.

WOman'S Place Established,

WOmanS Pace Established.
While woman had to make many at
tempts to enter the newspaper world
and undergo much criticism to do so
her place now is firmly established
She who can furnish stories or sketch
es that keep up an interest in the pa
per for which she writes, or who can,
through advertising mediums, bring
an increased income to her employer,
is regarded the same as if she were
engaged in any other work and de-
mands the admiration of those who
realize her superior skill. Her work
is not all happy and not everyone who
wishes to be successful journalist
succeeds, yet the reward to the woman
who deserves it is now granted, as it
is to the deserving man.
The number of Missouri women
now engaged in newspaper work
would be hard to estimate. To name
all these would be impossible, yet
there are some whose names stand out
either because of their unusual sue
cess or because of the type of work
which they are doing. st. Louis has
many as feature and special writer's.
The oldest of these special writers is
Elizabeth Merriwether, who for more
than sixty years, has been a contribu-
tor to the leading newspapers and
periodicals of the country. Florence
Hayward and Zoe Atkins are also in
this group of writer's. Miss Hayward
has two principles which have guided
her in her work: She continues at her
copy until it reads easily, and she
chooses carefully the publication to
which she sends it.
Jane Frances Winn the "Dean.c
The special writer stands merely on
the verge of journalism. She misses |
both its fascination and its hardships. |
For this reason, the special. writer

work, as continuous writer, longer
han any other woman in the state.
She might well be called the dean"
Of all Missouri newspaper women. As
member of the staff of the St. Louis
for more than seven
cen years, she has seen all sides of

inest profession for a woman. The
woman journalists work is generally
he reflection of her own character,
nd she should strive to give it the
'est that is in her, Miss Winn says.
Emily Grant Hutchings is another
lissouri woman who knows both the
rials and successes of the journalist.

Or twelve years as regular feature

IT'S EQUAL RIGHTS IN JOURNALISM
Missouri Women Find Enjoyment, Profit and
Honors in Writing and Editingin
Large Towns and Small.

The public opinion which sanctions
the woman journalist is modern. l
is an Outgrowth of Independent
thought and feeling. Twenty years
ago the woman who entered the news
paper profession was regarded no
only as a novelty but as an Oddity
Her entrance was regarded as so un'
becoming that only the courageous one
remained long. This attitude was true
in Missouri as in every other state
A woman reporter was still novelty
ten years ago. Those who wished to
write confined their efforts to fiction
poetry and magazine contributions.
In this line of work, Missouri women
were gaining success even in Civil
War times. Novels have appeared
from time to time which have placed
the Missouri women who wrote them
among the famous women of the
world
The fiction writer, the poet and the
writer of short stories cannot be con-
sidered as true journalists. They
have not experienced the life of news
paperdOm which constitutes jOurna-
lism as it stands today. The woman
reporter who finds a story, gets it and
writes it for her paper. is modern
creation. With her independence, her
and her faith, this news
paper woman represents the typical
woman of today more than she does
the woman in any other work. She
does not stand back for small con-
yet she retains her dig
nifty and her womanliness at all times
She must be honest with her convic-
tions and with her paper, frank, clear
headed and perservering. Above all
these qualities stands the ability to
think. Without this, she is lost, for
