1000 RISE TO COMMISSIONS
Missouri Men Made Good in Ranks Oi
II. s. Army,

u. >. Army.
Beginning their military career in
the ranks, almost one thousand for
mer privates of the regular army of
the United States have risen to the
grades of field and general officers,
according to information received in
Columbia by Sergeant V. C. Mccall of
the recruiting station.
The story of each of these men
would read like romance. Taken
together, they prove the statement
often made by military men that the
army offers distinguished career to
the man who can make good.
The list of men who have risen from
the ranks does not include former en-
listed men appointed directly from
civilian life or from the National
Guards to a commissioned office. A
few of these men are: Brig.-Gen.
Charles R. Krauthoff Colonels Alfred
Aloe, William Clopton, Easton R. Glib
son, Henry E. Eames, Benjamin H.
Kerfoot, Henry l.. Kinnison, Waller F.
Martin, Ira Reeves, Frank D.. Wick
ham and Kenneth P. Williams; LIEU
tenant -Colonels L. H. Cook, Guy Cush-
man, NJ NJ. Garrett, Albert Hardman,
Frank Kobes, Ralph Leavitt, George
c. Lewis, Edward G. McCleave, P. E.
Marquart, Olney Plade and Harry H.
Pritchett; Majors Ted H. Cawthorne,
Patrick Frissell, T. F. Hardin, Ernest
Holm, John c. Mullenix, Casper p.
Rucker, R. W. Wilson and David P.

ARE YOU BEWILDERED?

The gates of the world are open
widest to those who have acquired
high education. Have you ever gone
through steel mill and foundry
and come out bewildered by the roar
of machinery, sitting heat and fumes
and the cracking of iron? You per-
haps were amazed at the monster ma
chimes controlled by men who looked
like pigmies in comparison. You per-
haps could not appreciate the power
of the hydraulic presses. And after
your head cleared you forgot every
thing. But if you had understood the
different processes of manufacturing
steel, all the machines their under
lying principles, the construction of
the furnaces, the power exerted by
the hydraulic presses and a thousand
other things, you would have enjoyed
the work more because you would
have understood it.
Those who go through the gates
of the world unprepared will be be-
wildered and will not understand the
forces at work about them. They will
not be able to appreciate nature for
lack of knowledge of natural sciences;
they will not understand fully the re-
lation of one man to another; they
will not understand their purposes in
life; they will not understand their
own weaknesses and strength, nor
the fruits of life that are theirs for
the understanding.
But those who have tasted of higher
education will have perpetual thirst
for more knowledge. They will look
at everything with question mark.
Nothing will pass unnoticed, and in
stead of being bewildered they will
be broadened.

Senator Williams, Miss, was ex-
planning that though the League cove
nant was not all the United States de-
sired. it was all we could expect un-
der the circumstances.
Which reminds me of nv little
girls" he said "One had straight
hair, while the other had curly hair.
The straight-haired one was envious
of her sisters ringlets, and often usei
to grumble because her own tresses
refused to curl
"One day the curly-haired one was
grumbling about some fanc.ed hard
ship. and her sister rebuked her thus:
Well, you know, you can't have
everything AND curly hair
And Senator Knox, shaking his head
over glowing predictions of the way
the United States is to lift weak ma
tions from their lowly condition, said:
That makes me think of the drunk
ard who was lying in the gutter, un-
able to rise. Nobody paid any atten-
ton to him until another, not quite so
drunk, came along and asked what
was the matter.
/ can't get up said the recumbent
one.
III pick you up volunteered the
other and suiting the action to the
word, he tugged and pulled, but sue
ceeded only in toppling himself over.
Tell you, friend he said finally.

MIGHT CALL 1T ABOUT EVEN
City Brother Had Not a Great Deal
the Best Of His Relative in
the Country.

DR.. Samuel Schwab claims that the
oldest good story is the one about the
boy who left the farm and got job
in the city. He wrote q letter to his
brother who had elected to stick by
the farm telling of the joys of city
life, in which he said:
Thursday we autO'd out to the
country club and we goIfed until dark.
Then we trolleyed back to town and
danced until dawn. Then we motored
to the beach and Fridayed there" The
brother on the farm wrote back:
yesterday we buggied to town and
baseballed all afternoon. Then we
went to Ned's and pokered till morn
ing. Today we muled out to the corn
field and gee-hawed till shutdown.
Then we suppered and then we piped
for awhile. After that we staircased
up to our room and bedsteaded until
the clock fived.
