A TRIBUTE TO DIR. HILL
One OF the States Most Valuable Men,
Says X. c. Post.

DR.. Burrus A. Jenkins, the new ,edi-
tor of the Kansas City Post, writes in
that paper:
"If there are any short-sighted leg
islators seeking to reduce the salary
any thereby the efficiency of Presi-
dent A. Ross Hill of the Missouri Uni
versity, they are standing in their
own light and that of the state of
Missouri. If there are any physicians
of Columbia who for selfish reasons
are fighting one of the most useful
men of this state, their hostility should
be unearthed and fully set forth. 1t
will never do to cripple the energies
or to run the risk of losing one of the
most valuable men in our common
wealth. The Post will fight to the last
ditch for President Hill and the Mis-
souri, State University"

ROOM FOR FIFTY

A special meeting of the Boy Scouts
Council has been called by HI. NJ. Nc
Pheeters at the Y. NJ. C. A. Building
at 1880 O'Clock tonight. The purpose
of the meeting is to discuss and de-
eide on plans for a camping hut for
the boy scouts of Columbia.
A plan committee, composed of B. D.
Simon. ]. R. Sommerville and Leonard
Haseman. will present to the council
tonight plans they have formed for a
hut. The council will discuss these
plans and final arrangements will be
made for the building of the Boy Scout
Lodging Hut.
The hut that is to be built will be
large enough to accommodate fifty
boys at a time. There will be one
large room which will serve as Sleep
ing quarters at night and will be turn
ed into a mess hall and lounging room
in the day time = Folding hunks will
be built which can be folded up dur

the winter One of the big features
of the hut will be large old-fashion-
ed fire place. All the cooking will be
done as it was done in the olden days.
F. B. Rollins, who is chairman of
the location committee, has not yet de-
cided upon a definite site. The place
that is picked will be one convenient
to town and that is also in the woods
and has water advantages. Most Of
the work in scout craft is done in the
woods, and the hut will therefore have
to be built where this work can be
done.
The hut is going to be given to the
Boy Scouts for their loyal support in
all the war campaigns. Mr.. McPhee-
ters, scout commissioner, said this
morning that the Boy Scouts took part
jim all the Liberty Loan. Red Cross and
War Savings Stamps campaigns that
were conducted in this city. For the
good work they did in these campaigns
and in recognition of their loyal sup
port, the Boy Scout Council has de-
cided to give them this hut.

things" said Fred Niedermeyer. a Co
lumbia boy who has just returned

excellent account of itself. Things
were just getting started when the ar
mistice was signed. The trained avia-
tors were there in France ready for
action and all they needed was the
machines"
Niedermeyer saw the battle-ground
of st. Mihiel and of the Argonne For
est. He was in Paris few days after
the war ended.
Niedermeyer enlisted in the aviation
service in May. 1917. He was sent
to Kelly Field, Tex, where he obtain
ed his commission and acted as in
structor. Arriving in France last Sep
tember, Niedermeyer completed his
training at Issoudun, and after re-
naming as instructor there for peri
cd of six weeks he was assigned to
SQUADRON. He would have reached the
front about November Is had not the
armistice been signed. Lieutenant Me
.dermeyer arrived in this country the
first OF this month.
