MY SOLDIER SWEETHEART
 Continuation of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

more qualms at opening a letter or
 hers than I would of crushing
 cobra if it strayed across my path.
 If by hook or crook you can get
 hold of any trace of that Wolhah

 conscience of yours in the bottom o1
 your trunk, sit on the lld turn the
 key, and then freeze on to the infor-
 nation. Good-by. You'll miss your
 train if you don't hurry.
 She embraced and kissed me warm
 ly, then fairly pushed me out of the
 door I knew that she thus hastened
 my departure so l should be unable to protest further, and though all my
 instincts and training rebelled against her dictum yet my common sense. always the quality to which Lillian most forcibly appealed, told me she was right.
 had gone into the city directly from school, and had come home on an early evening train. Lillian had, of course, given me dinner but I found that Katie had left me generous portion of home dinner. covered in the warming oven of the kitchen stove, and Dicky was lounging around the house. distinctly sullSy, but evil dentlv relieved at seeing me. What Dicky Knew ] Funny thing you cant stay at home" he began in a much injured voice. 1T should think you were away enough all day and every day without rushing off to town even be- fore you come home. I got home early tonight thought you'd perhaps like to take a run over to Cresthaven T see they have a mighty good program at that little movie place over there-and then get bite to eat at that new inn that's just been opened on Merrick road. Hum berstOn.
 who lives out that way, says it's one
 tangerine of a place-but what do I
 find when I get here? No wife, no
 chance of a trip, no nothing. Whats
 the answer anyWay?'
 Now I had risked no argument with
 my mother-in-law over the telephone by telling her that I was going to Lillian's-I had simply informed her that I had been called to the city and would not be home for dinner. ] knew that she was listening from iH"r armchair by the fire, and partly for that reason, partly because D4r,>, ; manner was so aggressive, 1 replied rather shortly:
 ''The answer is that I had impor- tant business in the city and attended to it.
 Well it couldn't have been school 1 business" Dicky returned hotly. At 1 any rate it wasn't so important that
 Miss Dean knew anything about it or your going in.''

PALACE THEATFR.

Tonight will see the last of "Bol- shevism On Trial" and Marchs Nter- rymakars in Alma Where Do You Live.' Tomorrow will see the regu- lar five act vaudeville bill again, headed by Percy Polaire and his pals coming direct from the Wintergarden in New York, where they were the big comedy hit of the show. They are on their way to Boston and are playing New Britain to break the railroad jump. The balance of the bill embraces Tennis and Dean, Bur gess and Hathaway, Carol Cheevers and a tab musical sl1it called For the Love of Mike" This act runs about 30 minutes and is full of song and ac- tion. The feature picture is called Men," a special production featuring Charlotte Walker, Anna Lehr, Ger trude Mccoy, Robert Cain and other notable stars. The story is a big one with heredity and environment form ing the substance for the plot which is a duplicate of the famous play of the same name. Those who have seen "Men" say it Is one of the best fea- lures of the year. Maciste will also be seen in'The Liberator'' and a weekly Kinogram will also be shown. Sunday will sec Sessue Hayakawa in The Courageous Coward and Bert Lytel in 'Blind Mans Eyes, Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday will witness the first New England show ing of ''The Third Degree" with Alice Joyce, Vitagraph's greatest produc- ton. Five big vaudeville acts will also be shown.

by dissolVing 10 ounces of carbolio acid crystals in three gallons of water. This is a five per cent. solution
 Potassium permanganate, to disin- feet pipes and closets, is made by dis solving two ounces of permanganate in one gallon of water.
 For the eradication of the common insect pests, a few simple home-mixed remedies are usually effective
 To destroy the water bugs that ap- pear in damp cellars, and occasionally around the kitchen or bathroom plumbing, use solution of three parts of water to one part of turpentine and pour down the pipes once a week. It drives the bugs to the surface where they can be killed.
 For ants, the commonest and most pestiferous household pest, leaves of fresh mint pennyroyal or tansy spread about on sills and ledges is very effective. Washing shelves and lodges with strong alum water also helps.
 Flies must he fought with every means possible-and mostly with screens-to prevent their entrance to the house If they get in, fill saucers with water containing one teaspoon full of formaldehyde and set about the rooms, or spray the curtains and draperies lightly with oil of lavender. Cockroaches retreat before'a wash or spray of carbolic acid solution ap- piled to their pet haunts. A treat ment should be repeated several times.

The Evening Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1917-1920, 1919-08-09
THE FIRST BULLETIN

The other day new magazine made
its appearance in Columbia; it doesn't
have a picture of a tantalizing red
feminine mouth on the cover, nor is
it full of "snappy" stories. 1t is a
bulletin of Columbia put out by the
Columbia Commercial Club.
It's square cut, dry-looking bulle-
tin, full of information about the busi-
ness and commercial possibilities of
Columbia. 1t is one of the first recent
efforts of the Commercial Club to ad-
vertise this city. 1t is also an at
tempt to rally all the business men to
the support of the Commercial Club
so that its services will bring big re-
suits.
The platform of the publication is
ambitious. 1t stands for many muni
cipal improvements that the commu,
nifty has felt the need of for many
years. Chief among them are a mu
nlclpal auditorium, ana also cit!
park with suitable amusements fol
young people But still greater is thu
fact that an attempt will be made t.
increase the size of Columbia up tt
$4,000 people. Columbia is located
almost in the center of the state, ant
it is the educational center of Mis-
souri,. Parents can have no create
incentive to live in such city than t,
educate their children.
The best investment that any citizel
can make in time and money is Il
back up the Commercial Club of hi
city. Advertising is the dominating
force in modern business, and build
ing cities is business. The first bul
letin should be followed shortly b
other bulletins which should be cir
culated in many states.

VOTE THE BONDS

The voters of Columbia will be CIV
on an opportunity to vote bonds Sep
tember 2 that will give their town an
adequate sewer system. Surely no
citizen is willing to admit that money
should ever be spared at sacrifice OF
health. But this is exactly what the
non5passage of these bonds at the
coming special election amounts to.
For two full months the sewerage
system and its immediate needs have
been studied thoroughly by men who
understand the problem. The City
Council has received their reports and
has laid plans for a new sewerage
system, not one that will help condi-
tions for a few months, but one that
will completely wipe out the present
unsanitary conditions.
The bond issue has been put at the
minimum figure of $12S,O0O Any citi-
zen who 4even contempiates voting
mo" on the bond issue September 2
owes it to his family, his fellow-citi-
zens and himself to investigate condi-
tions so that ignorance of the subject
will not cause him to vote wrong, be-
cause this is the only conceivable
thing that could bring about the fail
ure of the bonds.

SMOKE BARRAGE WILL
SAVE BRAZIL'S COFFEE

seven or eight millions is all that can
be hoped for annually until 1921.
This frost had the effect of about
tripling the local price of coffee.
The new plan which has been
evolved for getting the best Of Jack
Frost" is being put into effect by the
municipality of Itajahy, city in the
state of Santa Catharina, in the heart
of the Southern Brazil coffee coun-
try. Planters in other localities will
watch the effect of this campaign with
the greatest interest and many are
considering it's adoption. Its success
will probably mean the enforcement
of such a regulation in other districts.
where coffee crops would be subject
to frost.
The regulations are compulsory, be-
ing issued by the agricultural author
tiles. Violation by planters under the
jurisdiction of the district lays them
subject to heavy fines.
The project calls for the preparation
of fuel for bonfires, north, east and
west of the coffee groves at distances
of thirty to forty meters apart This
preparation must be made early in
the cool season and continued for
several months. Each planter must
collect sufficient wood and brush to
keep fires burning three nights in

L
RIO DE JANEIRO, July (by maiD
The "alerte" and "all clear" sys-
tenn of warning of air raids, which was
used in Paris during the war, has
been adopted by the coffee planters
of Southern Brazil in unique meas
ures which have been ordered to COM
bat frost. A smoke barrage is to be
adopted instead of the shrapnel which
was SO effectively used to "get" enc
my air raiders, and the agricultural
officials of this country believe that
compliance with the new regulations
will provide against repetition OF
the damage of last years frost, which
cost so many millions of dollars to
planters and also to consumers.
During the winter of 1918 an extra
ordinary cold wave, beyond the men,
ory Of the oldest inhabitants" swept
over Southern Brazil, and it was dur
ing this spell that the first snow in
more than eighty years fell in Buenos
Aires. The frost found the planters
absolutely defanseless, and when nor
NAL weather returned, it was found
that millions of coffee trees were
killed and a large percentage of the
others injured so badly that the crops
for the next three years will be cut
down by about one-half. Instead OF
production of 100000 bags year

Ode Maupassant, Junior

"He told me he was from Missouri,
rand some few years before from its
State University" Theodore Dresser
writes in the chapter "De Maupassant,
Junior" in his book Twelve Men,.
''De Maupassant, Junior" as the au-
thor calls him, we have every reason
to believe was Harry Lyons, form
er student in the University of Mis-
souri, and a reporter on the Column
bia Herald Dresser tells the story
of the struggles of the young man in
New York. He says that Lyons wrote
entirely free from mush, bravado
and cant. He had style as clear
as water, as simple as rain; color,
romance and humor; and if little too
much vanity and self-importance, still
one could forgive him, for they were
rather well based"
Young Lyons saw the whole and
wrote as he saw it. His work was
too classic to belong to the best
seller class. But Dresser tells how
after year or two he compromised
his art and became prolific writer
and seller of the conventional type of
short story with a happy ending.
Lyons died at the age of "a He
left nothing but manuscript
Some of his stories have received
distinguished notice and two volumes
of them have been published, Graph
les" and "Sardonics."
He saw America and life as some
thing to be painted, as all masters
see life and paint it. He was certain
to come into his own eventually had
he lived. Ten years more, judging
by the rate by which he worked, one
might say that in the pantheon of
American letters it is certain that he
would have proved durable if not
one of its great figures, and he might
have well have been that. AS it
stands, it is not impossible that he
will be so recognized, if for no more
than the sure promise of his genius

SOLUTION OF A PROBLEM
Dade County Advocate Tells How to
Build Courthouse.

The Dade County Advocate pub
lished at Greenfield, Mo-, claims to
have solved the problem, so far as ex-
penses are concerned, of a courthouse
for Dade County. The Advocate says
"The best estimate possible has
fixed the average number of occupants
of the courthouse and courtyard at
twenty-five, and the number of hours
for this average at ten, or two hundred
fifty hours per day. Now, wages are
high, and for the ability that is in this
gathering of able men, an estimate of
81 an hour seems to be low, and the
job is held down at least three hun
dred days in the year. This would
mean $4,000 per year, but that might
be raised some for exceptional ability
MANY of these are the most able
and resourceful citizens of this coun
ty, and possibly of the world. for
they can tell where everybody is ell
wrong, what the President has done
that he should not, what he should
have done and what he should dc
next; what Congress has failed TO do
and what it is going to do; in fact no
department of the government is too
complex, too deep Of too remote for
a simple and complete diagnosis l.y
the modern specimens of Solomon
Solon, Caesar etc.
1.-The part that we have not been
able to solve all the details of and
make easily worka bic is how to turn
all this great potential into ready
cash."

JOURNALISTS HAVE PICNIC
Students Leave Switzler Hall ut 6
O'clock for Tin Spout Springs.

Where is Tin Spout Springs?
Any one who really wants to know
need only ask one of the journalism
students who followed the long, long
trail to that little wooded valley south
,of town, for yesterday evening they
started from Switzler Hall at o'clock
each with a package and high heart.
After they reached the spring the
real party began. A fire was built
and weiners toasted on sticks, and en-
joyed later with buns and huge dill
pickles.
After the food had disappeared the
fire was kept burning and there were
stories, poems, impersonations, songs
and fortunes.
