st. Louis at 6 o'clock the evening OF
October l and travelled $50 miles in
twenty hours. Then they met storm
and the wind threatened to carry them
south. Seeing clouds beneath going
north, they descended for the cur
rent, but discovered that they were
right over a large body of water.
Thinking this to be the Georgian
Lake, they hesitated to make the trip
across in the midst of treacherous
weather conditions. Ballast was
thrown out, and the balloon shot I'D
for two miles when the south wind
took them back. In attempting a
landing they encountered trees which
had not been visible for the storm.
I'VE landed in the wilderness of
Canada said Won Hoffman, "and it
took us three days to get out. Six
small chicken sandwiches was all the
food we had between us for three
days. We did not have match that
would strike. And it sure was cold.
1t took us a week then TO get the
balloon out and ready for shipment"

WOUND ENDS FOOTBALL CHANCES
Bullet Through Knee Keeps Harry
Roberts Out OF Game.

At least one University student and
former football star is being kept out
of football this fall because of wounds
received while serving with the Amer
ican Expeditionary Forces. That man
is Harry Roberts, former end and half
back on the Independence High School
team.
Roberts was in the 355th Infantry.
Eighty-Ninth Division. While at Camp
Funston Roberts played end on the
regimental team. Stankowski, Tiger
captain, played quarterback on the
same team
While with raiding party during
the st. Mihiel drive September 16,
Roberts was wounded by a machine
gun bullet which went through his left
knee. This ended fighting with the
American forces for Roberts, and it
ended his football playing too. Army
physicians told Roberts just before
he was discharged that it would be
at least seven years before his leg
would be strong enough for stren-
uous exercise.
He is vocational student in the
University this year, having been sent
here by the government to study cleo
trical engineering.

STUDENTS FAVOR JAZZ MUSIC
Classics Are Not Popular, According
to Sales Records.

~ SAFES htCUTuSs
The favorite piece of music among
University students according to lead.
ing music houses of COLUMBIA is "The
Vamp". Other pieces that are among
the best sellers are, 81 Might Be Your
While, I'm Room 202"
Tulip Time, Nanny O. Mine" and
Tell Me-"
In records the most popular num-
bers are, Everybody Shimmies Now
and I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles -
Practically the same pieces are pop
ular in player rolls as in sheet music.
Their is very little classical music sold
to students in sheet music or records
and that which is sold is bought by
girls.
In musical instruments the ukelele,
banjo-ukelele, mandolin-ukelele and
guitar are popular according to sales
records. The popularity of these in
struments is based, no doubt, on the
fact that they are used so much for
the ever-popular evening serenade.

ANSWERED THE CALL IN 1899
Boone County With $1I7,9OO Outbid

Just eighty years ago, in 1899 tb.
citizens of Boone County were en-.
gagged in a contest to raise money fo,
purpose very similar to that fo,
which the Stephens College s5OOOC
fund is wanted, namely, to insure the
establishment of the University ot
Missouri in Boone County.
When the State Legislature an
nounced in 1888 that in CONSIDERING
the location of state institution of
learning, the amount of money sub-
scribed by the citizens of any county
WOULD be taken into consideration
Boone County set about to raise the
largest amount possible.
1t did not have quota to work for
Other counties, Galloway and Howard
especially, were working for the To-
cation. and each county stroye to
raise larger amount than the 9TH

Boone County at that time had a
population of less than 1,400. Busi-

might be carried on. Canvassing COM

although Mary Miles Minter, William
s. Hart and several others are often
featured.
University students prefer society
dramas. There are exceptions to this
rule, however. as many popular pic
lures are not of this type. That the
vampire story is unpopular, is the be-
lief OF one local manager who never
books picture of this type as a spec
ial. This manager believes, also, that
old fashioned pictures, costume plays
and detective stories are unpopular in
Columbia.
Comedies, either straight or of the
slap stick variety, are preferred to

amounts from 81 to $4,000.
In all, Boone County raised $117,-
900. More than $50 subscriptions
amounted to $1O0 or more There were
two $4,000 subscriptions, one of which
came from man who could neither
read or write.
The five commissioners appointed
by the Legislative Assembly met in
Jefferson City in June, 1899, to open
the bids of the various counties. Their
instructions were that 'the place pre-
senting the most advantages to be de-
sired to said University, keeping in
view the amount subscribed and local
ity and general advantages, shall be
entitled to its location
The Galloway County bid promised
$4,000 and the Howard County bid
$4,000. The commissioners agreed
unanimously in the choice of Boone
County for the location of the Uni
versity.

Better Roads Wanted.

Report comes from Wyoming that
the automobile tourist travel of the
state has increased seyenty-fye per-
sent this season The reason is
plain The highways OF Wyoming
have been improved materially, at
tracing the business. The same
thing will be true of Vermont or any
other state where the roads are
made good, except Vermont having
so much natural beauty will draw
the lions share OF the traffic, road
conditions being on a partly. There
is every reason why we should have
good roads not merely TO get our
share of the tourist business, but
primarily to enable our own people
to increase their business. The bet
ter roads, the more enterprise
can be carried on, per gallon of gas

We're today putting in overtime six
days in the week the industries OF
this country could not begin to meet
the demand for material, merehan.
disc and foodstuffs Yet with condi-
tions such as do not arise once in a
generation, and, it might be said
once in the life time OF the average
individual. the entire country is af-
fiicted with strike mania that is
losing millions and the money is com
ing out of the pockets of those who
need it the most Every industry
that is shut down adds TO the increas-
ing cost Of living. No matter how
much profiteering exists, and there is
no denying that producers, middle
men and retailers are taking advan-
tage of the existing situation TO make
unfair profits, the crying need of the
country just now is production.
What is wanted more than anything
else is a production that will help to
offset the rising demand for all the
necessities Of life. Europe is buying
everything her agents in this country
can lay their hands to and in order to
secure those things of which the
countries across the water are in
need these agents are paying prices
that skin the markets and add to the
existing scarcity. In face of the de-
mand costs to the ultimate consumer
continue to rise and must so continue
until there IS less competition for the
stocks on hand. a larger production
would do more toward solving the un
fortunate situation than all the inves
tigatng committees that can be
created in Washington and larger
production can not be created while
the men and women who keep the
wheels of industry turning are walk
ing the streets because plants are
shut down and who are unable to re
port for duty because the urban and
inter-urban lines of TRANSPORTATION
are tied up by strikes. Without tak4l
ing into consideration the points al
issue between employer and employe,
without comment upon the justice of
the demands of workers who have
ceased to work it is stating bald
truth to say that the thousands of
strikers in this country at the pres
emit time are not helping to correct
condition of things that is admittedly
working to their disadvantage. A
disposition to compromise, a disposi-
ton that once existed but which
seems to exist no more, would help
lot just now.

ever since he had entered school.
Nothing suited her. At first it was the

complaints about everything imagin-
able, she began to come to school to
criticize the teachers methods and
books used. "Now, these readers are
not nearly so interesting as the ones
we used to use," she said. Couldn't
you get some of those old books and
use them to supplement these?" she
asked.
