FOURTH OF JULE-1911

July 4, 1917 we will celebrate Il
one hundred and forty-first birthday
of our nation-the return of the day
on which our separate national eXis-
tence was declared-the return OF a
day when a nation for the first time
in history was brought into the fam
ily of nations on the basis of the po-
litical equality of all its citizens.
This July 4 our country faces a
more serious crisis than it has ever
faced before. 1t is now in a conflict
in defense of the rights of its people
and its honor as a sovereign govern
ment. We, as patriotic citizens,
should commemorate this one hun
dred and forty-frst anniversary Of
American independence in manner
which will emphasize the fact that
our nation is again fighting for those
principles of government which in
spired the men of 1776.

KILL THE FLY

The fly is the joy automobile of the
germ.
Germs carried by the fly have sue
ceeded in taking the lives of ninety
two children in counties of Southwest
Missouri during the past week.
The progeny of a single female
house fly is about 14,000, ,00O, 900 chill
dren per year. And not one of these
billions of flies is particular about
where it gets its food, or where it
takes its recreation. One minute it
may be in the spitoon of a consump-
tive, shortly after slipping in typhoid
or other intestinal germs, and then
it may go off dancing around and
leave these germs on babies lips.
The fly is a deadly enemy of human
life-kill it,
Each fly you kill may mean dozens
of human lives saved.

BIBLE STUDY IN HIGH SCHOOL
Provided Department of Education
Adopts j. d. Elliff's Plan.

High schools in Missouri will soor
offer credit for Bible study if the state
department of education adopts the
plan worked out by Prof ]. d. Ellifl
of the University. The plan is being
explained by Prof. Elliff in the course
in Sunday school methods in the Bap-
tist Sunday school.
Mr.. Elliff read a paper before the
Missouri Sunday School Association
in Springfield in 1915 in which he ad-
vocated that high schools should allow
credit for systematic courses of Bible
study under the direction of the
churches. The plan has been put in
to operation in Webb City, Iberia and
Columbia. Colorado, West Virginia.
and North Dakota have made state
wide use of the plan, and twenty 9TH
er states have adopted it to some ex-
tent.
The course in Sunday school work,
of which the above plan is a part, was
worked out by Prof. Elliff and Dean
w. w. Charters. The class meets at
9:45 O'Clock each Sunday morning in
the library of Stephens College. About
one hundred students are enrolled in
the couse. The outline of the sum-
mer's work consists of three parts: Q)
a study of the graded curriculum, (2)
teacher-training curricula and meth
ods. CD modern cooperation between
the public school and the Sunday
school.

"Grasping Opportunity"

Nathaniel c. Fowler. Jr.. writes
primarily for employees in his book
"Grasping Opportunity" The key
note of his work seems to be that all
success for the beginner is based up
on his ability to assume responsible
ity and his willingness to learn the
fundamentals of his trade. All this.
however, he thinks is founded upon
honesty and faithfulness.
Many of the incidents that the writ
er describes are taken from actual
experiences in business life. The
book itself is characteristic for the
wide use of dialogues taken from all
phases of business successes and FAIL
ures.
The author also warns the beginner
against over specialization and the
many pitfalls, which are likely to
work for his downfall

Gilbert H. Montague's book, "Busi-

trade conditions are affected by the
Antitrust Law. Court decisions and
legal proceedings comprise ITS back

The writer aims to show how ever

to be careless in its sales methods.
He further explains how the Govern
ment's view in the antitrust decisions
usually prevails.
This is so, he believes, because
many business concerns accent con-

that goes with such suits. He is not
certain that all competitive practices
that have been set forth are unlaw-
ful, even though the Government be-

For this reason, he is of the opinion.
that many of the decisions are par
tisan and that the Government is too
eager to test all antitrust cases that
come within its bounds.

"Tro' up your hands and be blamed quick" was the greeting which brought Allan Corey, author and Esther Hol- lister, owner of theRancho Verde, out of their happy reverie in the Triangle play, "Pp or Down." at the Columbia theater today and Monday
 Four rifle barrels gleamed a sinister warning at them from the roadside. They had ridden into an ambush. Up went Corey's hands in terror and Esther with look of contempt at her escort, followed suit. There was nothing else to do, for she could not single handed, put up a fight against four bandits.
 The warning was sounded and riders carried the word from COW ranch to COW ranch that Esther Hollister, of the Rancho Verde, had been robbed by Texas" Jack and three outlaws of his gang. The ranchers secured the coun- try but lost the trail of the four horses in dash which led straight to the desert.
 Then followed 8 reign of outlawry in the Verde country unprecedented in it's widest history. The bank safe was blown open and the railway station robbed. Each time the posse followed the tracks of the four horses to the desert and there lost them in the sandy wastes.
 The new Keystone comedy is de- clared to be tremendously funny and it is felt that His Crooked Career will make a decided hit with lovers Of the ridiculous. The Ford scenic reels are added attraction. Episode II of "The Fighting Trail will be shown Thursday, instead of on Tuesday and Wednesday. on account of the sched- | uled presentation of When Dreams Come True"
