NEW HEALTH MOVE

Missouri has been selscted for a6e
field of experimentation IN. t-.se" new
drive for stronger children to be con-
Quoted by the United States Public
Health Service and after Christmas
the program will be put forward all
over the state. The object is to educate
the child to keep himself physically,
morally and metally clean all of the
time.
For the nation to have strong
healthy men it will be necessary for
the nation to have strong healthy chill
dren and to this end is the Health
Service striving. In Missouri the
schools in each county will play an
important part. Every student will
hear this doctrine of cleanliness in a
different way than before perhaps.
County Superintendent Ed C. Offutt is
planning to have the schools in Aud
rain observe this move.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Dec. 29.-0ne
solution of the farm problem of high
priced land and low-priced products
lies in increased efficiency and the
elimination of waste. Proof of this is
found in the testimonials of success
received at the Missouri College of
Agriculture from former students of
the Two-Year Winter Course, or
Short Course, in Agriculture, who de-
clare that the few weeks they spent
at Columbia were amply repaid by
increased returns from their land.
The first term of this practical
course in farming is drawing to a
close at Columbia. Eight weeks more
will be given after Christmas, begin
ming January 3 and ending February
26. It is expected that many farm
boys who were unable to enter in
November / viii avail themselves of
the new opportunity for entrance.
The only requirements for entrance
is an age Of at least IS years. !

OF oil that they brought i'll ON their
land near the Glenn Wilson farm.
They struck oil sand at l4o tcct.
They had drilled into the sand 10

figured they would have about IS
more feet OF sand to go through.
They plan to shoot the well Monday.

of the oil wath him was highly pleas.
ed with the showing. \ piece OF
gas pipe extending four feet above
the ground over the well had oil
spouting out OF it which Indicated
that there was considerable pressure
