In some Missouri homes there are
still spinning wheels, hackles and
carders which saw service several
generations ago, before the days OF
machine industry. Mrs. John I'll
Estes, of Columbia, owns complete
set of the accoutrement which was
used at one time in the making OF
cloth.
One hundred and thirty-five years
ago, Mrs. Robert Ossicer, great
grandmother of Mrs. Estes, made cloth
in a log cabin which was the first
built by a white man in western Mis-
souri,. The hackle which Mrs.
Ossicer used to make the crude
clothing of her pioneer family is in
Columbia today.
Fifty years later there were other
white families in Missouri. These
white families owned many black
servants who worked on the vast es-
tates of Missouri plantation owners
There was one task however which

SPORT

Until this week Coach John F. Mil
Ter knew Lexington, Mo-, only as a
small Missouri town. He did not
know that it was the home of Hugh
Campbell Wallace, ambassador to
France, or any of the many other in
teresting things of which Lexington
boasts. Now Coach Miller is study
ing up on Lexington, and the reason
for his unusual interest is the fact
that there is in that community at
least one man who thinks Miller is
the greatest football coach in a long,
long time.
THE miracle man of the season.
that is the way the editorial writer
OF the Lexington News refers to
Coach Miller. Writing under the cap
ton. did the Impossible" the editor
of the News says:
1t is common thing to talk about
miracle men in the sport world, but it
strikes us that Coach John F. Miller
has qualified for the title because of
the results he has achieved with the
Missouri Tigers. Consider his task.
Coach Schultz had made a great rec
ord at Missouri. Miller was merely
coach of the freshman team. Schultz
resigned on short notice and Miller
was appointed to the position of head
coach some time after school started
and things were demoralized. But
that was not all. The Tigers who
showed up this fall were light in
weight and green in quality. Letter
men were in small minority Every
other team in the Valley was over
flowing with hefty letter men. And
the Missouri schedule started in
heavy and kept getting heavier. Kan
sas, Washington, Ames, the Kansas
Aggies, all were anxious to get going,
for they knew they had the teams to
win games. The wise ones figured if
Coach Miller won more than one game
of his schedule he would be doing
| we'll. But in some way he began to
get some real football results from
those inexperienced Tigers, and the
! games were tucked away, one by one,
as they came along, with never a loss.
And when there remained the two
hardest hurdles for the Valley cham
pionship, his quarterback and captain
was put out of the game by injuries.
That meant rebuilding the team
around a new man. This was done
in week and Washington was beat
en-. And on Thanksgiving Day the
Tiger dined on Jayhawk with dress
ing. You have to hand it to Miller.
He was given job and told that what
ever he did would be more than was
expected. And he went out and
plucked championship. He is the
seasons miracle man."

COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVES
City Organizations and Mayor Active
in Cutting Down Disease Here.

The people of Columbia are more
healthy this year than for many years
previous. The improved health of the
community is due to the work of the
mayor, the Commercial Club, the
health committees of the Community
Council and the Charity Organization
Society.
There have been only five cases OF
typhoid fever in Columbia this winter.
All but one of these cases have oc-
Cured where city water was not used.
Three cases were in families who
used water out of the same well. The
city water supply was inspected at
intervals of not more than two weeks
all summer and the result is water
that is nearly devoid of germs. The
was inspected this summer. All of
the dairies have complied to the tests
which the board of health has made.
The difficulty in controlling the spread
of the disease has been with the small
dealers who have only few cows
and peddle their milk in neighbor-
hoods.
Since the first of the year there
have been 247 deaths in Columbia
Many of these were from pneumonia
following influenza in the first part
of the year. One hundred and eigh-
teen of the deaths were from pneumo-
mia, and seventeen from tuberculosis,
In normal years the death rate runs
from 200 to $50 when there is no epi-
demic. There has been a marked de-
creas of deaths since the cessation OF
the influenza which is attributed by
most of the physicians to the fact
that last winter people were so thor
oughly frightened that since then they
have been taking measures for the
prevention of disease.

women made almost all of the mate
rial out of which the clothes for the
family and slaves were made. The
cotton was planted and picked by the
black toilers but it was woven by
white hands.
The women of those days had little
to do beyond making cloth and the re-
suit of their handiwork was articles
embroidered and trimmed with elabo-
rate care. An article of this period
of Missouri's geneology is owned by
Mrs. Estes. 1t is a counterpane,
such as covered one of those magnifi-
cent four-poster beds of the planta-
ton period. The cover is elaborately
embroidered and trimmed with hand
made fringe. 1t is made entirely by

From the same period a spinning

Captain Anton Stankowski of the

his crutches this week after being a
cripple for thirty-eight days. He was
injured in the Nebraska Missouri
game on Rollins Field November 8,
but was able to follow the Tigers on
their two most important games, with
Washington and with Kansas.
Missouri's 1919 captain will go to
his home in st. Joseph the end of this
week for the Christmas holidays. Ac-
cording to physicians at Parker Mem
orial Hospital, STAN is walking with
out crutches earlier than most pa
tients who suffer similar injuries,
chiefly because Of his determination
and willingness to suffer little pain
in order to stand on his foot again.
