LET is BE OPEN.MINDED

Bring Reed to Columbia. Columbia
should welcome our Senator, as does
the MissOurian. If the League of Ma
tions has not a good pair of legs to
stand on, let us defeat it.
But should the senator come here
we believe that we should have some
one at the same time TO reply to his
arguments.
Every subject has an affirmative
and a negative. Reed no doubt has
some good arguments against the
league. If we cannot show him some
better ones for it-let us forsake it.
The question of the League of Ma
tions is an open one. Anyone who is
rational is willing to listen to reason.
We should gladly accept Reed at a
public meeting in our city. We do not,
however, guarantee him a great re-
ception-for possibly the citizens here
think as did the Legislature at Jeffer-
son City last week.

Tam o the ScOOtS."

The brown-faced, red-haired, awk
wardly built youth whom all the Fly.
ing Corps call Tam" is the hero Of
Edgar Wallace's new story Tam o
the Scoots." He is a Scot and is
drawn from real life. Realizing the

Tam begins one of the most remark
able recoveries medical science has
ever recorded. At the close of the

is well.

SAVE COLCMBIA'S TREES

In France a tree is worth more tC
the government than a man. At least
to damage a tree incurs more wrath
on the part of the government than to
damage a man To cut down a tree
is a crime punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment.
The French care for their trees as
we do for our fine stock. They are
trimmed and cultivated and undergo
surgical treatment such as few trees
in this country experience.
Tree surgery is not a new thing in
Columbia. and a goodly number of the
cities best trees have been saved by
careful treatment. But there are still
MANY fine old elms, oaks, walnuts
and sycamores about town which need
immediate attention. Columbia's trees
should be saved. They are her chief
source of beauty. They are always
commented upon by guests of the
city. They are the joy of the children
and the pride of our fathers and moth
ers. Even our grandparents recall

influenza Hurts Financial Condition
OF Society.


A convention to save the Modern
WoOdmen of America is in session in
Chicago. A. r. Talbot, head counsel.
described the situation as critical. In
October, 1918, he said, the society had
a general fund of $4,000 900 in Sc
curities. This has dwindled to S64O.
900 owing to the ravages of influenza
and pneumonia, he explained. War
claims also figured.
During the war the society, by a
special assessment, raised a fund of
S6,OOO,0O0, out of which all war claims
were met, and there remains in this
fund $3,OOO,000, the speaker said. The
war claims, he said, were as nothing
compared TO those due to influenza
and pneumonia.

as this one has a right to live" con-

many years and has paid out 5000, ,OOO.-

than $4,000 of our boys answered the
call to arms. Last week 100 of their
claims were approved But it was the

ENJOY COMING BACK TO MISSOURI
Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Drew Play "keep
Her Smiling. in Kansas CITY.

The following about Mr.. and Mrs
Sidney Drew, formerly of Columbia
is from the Kansas City Star:
Polly and Henry were busy today
They answered telephone calls and re,
ceived friends until, bordering on ex.
haustion. Henry sneaked away for a
rest and Polly. dropping into a sympa-
thetic chair, sighed. Just then the
telephone rang.
Thus it came home fOrcibly to Mr.
and Mrs. Sidney Drew that in creating
Henry and Polly for the screen they
also had created duties which they
must perform when appearing any
where personally. Half a week in
Kansas City in Keep Her Smiling
proved that those duties should be dis
POSI- of in short order.
Because Mrs. Drew formerly was
Lucille McVey, typically of Missouri,
she feels that being here is like re-
turning home. Especially so, she SAYS.
because half her home town expects
to see her and her husband.
Il refuse to let that telephone mon
opolize us" Mrs. Drew said. Mr.. Drew
agreed.
There's nothing like the movies for
fun" she continued. "And our pres
ent contract is all mine. / prnpare
scenarios, do the directing and write
titles, while Mr.. Drew goes to the STU
dio every day to act for me- Now that
were on the stage. go to the theater
to act for him. Reciprocity! 1t isn't
genius that enables me to get up our
comedies; nothing like that I'm Just

Mr.. Drew. laughing as his wife
laughed upon her admission that she
really worked, testified in his behalf.
There is a large difference be-
tween motion pictures and the stage"
he said. The former takes us closer
to the public as a whole; but the lat

CULTURED BUTTERMILK NOW
Pure But Fermented Milk Latest Drink
In Columbia.


The very latest thing in cold drinks
is the new cultured buttermilk.'
1t threatens the supremacy of 6evC
and coca cola, as it has all of their
pleasing advantages and none of their
disadvantages. This beverage has be-
come very popular in cities and has
recently been put on the market in
Columbia by the White Eagle Dairy
The principles of the manufacture
of this buttermilk were discovered by
the famous chemist, Pasteur, and
Metchinkoff, Bulgarian. In all milk
there are three kinds of germs that
produce sourness, the Tactic acid
germ, the Bulgarian germ and the
dirt or filth germ. In the manufac-
ture of cultured buttermilk" the
filth germ is eliminated.
The milk is separated while warm
the cream being sold and the skinned
milk pasteurized for thirty minutes.
1t is then allowed to cool When
cooled to about 40 degrees Fahrenheit,
small quantity of the Tactic acid and
Bulgarian germs are added These
are the health germs and are neces-
sary for the proper fermentation of
the milk. The milk is allowed to
ferment for several hours.
Bulgarian buttermilk is being served
at all soda fountains in Columbia in
one-half pint individual bottles.

Prattville, August 6.-(SpeciaL)-Fred father-in-law,, Ebert stoudenmire, on January 1o this year was hanged here this morning. The evidence at the negro's trial tended to show that Fred and his father-in-law, Ebert Stoud- enmire; age D years, lived in the same house and worked a crop together last year; that they had some differences as to financial settlement in December, and one night the matter was renewed and Fred with a fire poker killed the old man and wounded his wife Tenn1e liar ris, and attempted to set fire to the house to hide his crime. He had no witnesses, and no defense for his action in the mat ter. His wife and those who came Tn to examine the dead man were, the state witnesses against Fred. The court ap- pointed two firms of, attorneys to defeni Fred at his trial, and they carried the case to the supreme court. The court gavek consideration and answered every point and exception taken by the defen- dant's attorneys and appointed this as the day of execution
