LUCRATIVE SALARIES

A very useful and efficient member
of the Presidents cabinet resigned his
position and its $4,000 salary, ex-
planning in effect that he must get into
a work where he can make living.
Not so long ago a Justice of the Illi-
nois Supreme Court resigned his $10,-
900 position because the pay is so
small that justice to his family re-
quired his resignation. The news
papers that publish these items do not
state what employments these highly
educated and practical men will seek,
but we respectfully offer them the in
formation that few village schools
in Illinois are without principals, and
that the school boards are offering
what many influential people in high
places in Illinois seem to consider
good salaries. THE Illinois Teacher.

WILL THRILL
M. u. STUDENTS APRIL 10

Victory How that word thrilled
the patriotic breast of each Greek
citizen when his country's proud army
came triumphantly home. A holiday
was declared and people from town
and country thronged into the city to
do homage to the heroes. Around a
huge open-air theater they gathered
and watched the handsome, we'll built
youths play the traditional games of
Victory.
The students of the University of
Missouri in the United States of Am
erica, several hundred years later,
feel the same thrill at the word Vic
tory; but, except for a spontaneous
burst of enthusiasm at the false
alarm of November Z and the more
intense hilarity of November IL, no
outlet has been given to the joyous
feeling of happiness in their countrys
success in war.
On April 19 however, the women
of the University propose to celebrate
the Allied victory by festival much
like that of the Greeks. The open-air
theater will be on the East Campus
between the Agricultural, Chemistry
and the Physics Buildings. The stage
will be the terrace, banked with cut
flowers and potted plants.
Greek games will be the first event.
A group of young women, represent
ing the Greek athletes who were
trained to prove their valor at these
festivals, will march in a procession
to swear allegiance to Zeus-first the
priest, then the altar boy, then the
discus throwers, the warriors, the
the wrestlers and char
ioteers. They will offer libations to
Apollo and then the games, in the
form of Greeh dancing, will take
place. Each victor will be crowned
with a laurel wreath. A triumphal

LEST WE FORGET

Lest we forget that there was a
war and that we still have obligations
to perform, take look into news
paper of a year ago. Columbians
were all enthusiasm over the Third
Liberty Loan The Draft Board was
examining men and turning out, fit for
service, some thirty day. Our sons
we're in France or going soon. The
small boys OF the county were being
organized for work on the farms.
First aid classes were busy with their
work. Everyone was engaged in
helping to win the war. Big Bertha
was an affair of much speculation.
The Germans were reported to have
the strength of the combined Allied
force. We were knitting, saving, CIV
ing and worrying.

march by the victors will be the re
cessional.
In order to do honor to our Allie:
in the victory, an allied victory dance
will be given by five girls dressed in
Franch. Belgium, English, Italian and
American costumes.
Miss Frances Gray, queen of the
festival, will then cross the campus
to the throne, preceded by four her
aids. Roberta Herring, Marjorie Pat
terson, Hazel Pipes and Susie Crok-
EFT, and two little flower girls, Fanny
and Bertha Loeb. Farnk Martin, Jr.
and Jack Terrell will be the train
bearers. She will be accompanied by
eight attendants. On reaching the
throne, which is to be in the center
of the terrace, she will kneel and be
crowned Queen of Victory by Miss
Mary Adeline McKibbin as America
Two little boys, one dressed as a
soldier and one as a sailor will be her
pages.
Groups of seven or eight girls rep
resenting the five Great Powers will
then dance before the queen. The
traditional robing of the seniors by
the juniors will follow.
A f1ag-pole dance with red, white
and blue streamers will be the last
number of the afternoon program
The music for the professional and
recessional marches will be furnished
by the University Symphony Orches-
ira.
The evening program will be held
in the University Auditorium at s
o'clock. A one-act play, Joint Own
ers in SPAIN, will be given by stu
dents of Prof. Robert Dewey. Imme-
diately after the play the queen will
be ushered to a throne in the center
of the stage. The Girls Glee Club
will entertain her.

THE STORY HOUR

The story hour for children is one
of the best things which any commu-
pity can foster. Many of the ideals
which are active and fruitful in our
later life are gained through hearing
the right kind of stories.
Patriotism, honesty, love and care
of dumb animals, of the weak and un-
fortunate, can best be gained during
this formative period through the
medium of stories.
The leader in the storytelling work
has shown herself ready and willing
to do her utmost for our children. But
the books are too few, and the room
is not attractive for the meetings.
Yet the children who go are eager,
and their interest in the right kind OF
literature is being stimulated.
There's a chance for each of us to
send our outgrown and unused chill
dren's books. Or if we haven't any,
to contribute small sum-children's
books are surprisingly cheap. And
someone can do the community a real
and lasting good by offering his home
as a meeting place for the story hour.

STOP AND THINK

Can we still be pessimistic when
we stop and think that:
The war is over;
The wheat crop this year promises
to be record one;
That the Thirty-Fifth Division is
coming home this month;
That the Natoin is going, dry;
That Bolshevism hasn't spread TO
the United States as predicted;
That the country is booming,
And
That spring is here?

If you've a vision of the wide worlds glories,
Tho you never stray beyond your native land;
If you have charms to grace social Venus,
But list not socetys siren call;
If you can give and give and still keep giving,
And miss not iota of it all;
If you mother countless hosts of children
Though you never call a single one your own
If you've the garnered wisdom of the ages
But keep that fact from ever being known;

But for yourself keep always life's rules;

GENTRY A COMMISSIONERS
Suggested That Gardner May Appoint
Him to Position.

That N. T. Gentry of Columbia may
be named Supreme Court commission
er is suggested in the following dis
patch from Jefferson City:
In view of the general opinion that
Governor Gardner intends to approve
the house bill increasing the number
of commissioners of the supreme court
from four to six, add making their
term of office four in place of two
years, there is much speculation as to
who will be appointed by the court.
Under the terms of the law the COM
mission must be non-partisan.
II is generally conceded that three
Of the old commissioners, Judge r. T.
Railey of st. Louis, and Judge J. t.
White, of Springfield, Democrats, and
Judge Stephen S. Brown, of st. Jo-
seph, Republican, will be reappointed.
Judge Reuben F. Roy, of Rails Coun-
ty, Republican, who has served on the
commission since 1911. desires to re-
tire because of his broken health.
The Kansas City Bar Association
recommended Cyrus Crane of that
city, a Republican, but it was stated
that owing to the controversy over the
bill he has determined to decline.
Charles E. Small, a well known Re-
publican attorney of Kansas City, who
has long practiced before the supreme
court, has been suggested as success
