MISSOURI 100 YEARS OLD.
First Became Defacto State in 1920
Admitted to Union 1921.

jefferson City. Mo, July 2O.-A1is-
souri, celebrated her Tooth birthday
Monday, having become a defacto state
with full complement of officers and
adopted a constitution July 10, 1920.
Officially the centennial anniversary
is nearly thirteen months distant, as
the state was not admitted into the
union until August 10, 1921.
President Monroe and congress
barred Missouris entry. according to
officials of the Missouri Historical
society. on account of a clause in the
state constitution which denied to
negroes and mulattoes the right of
residence.
1t was contended this clause con-
flicted with the federal constitution,
and it was not until it was abrogated
by the legislature that Missouri was
recognized as a member of the union

DEMPSES NEEDS THE MONEY.
heavyweight Title Holder Would
Break Over Color LING.

New York. July 2O.-Jack Demp-
sey. worlds champion heavyweight
pugilist, is not averse to fighting a
negro boxer, according to an an
nouncement here by the Inter-
national Sporting club. In reversing
his attitude on the color line, the
champion stated he is ready to make
a match with Harry Wills, who is
scheduled to meet Fred Fulton at the
Newark Sportsmen's club next Mon
day.
LAS for the colored BOXERS" Demp-
sey said, you can say for me. and
make it as strong as you like, that
have absolutely no scruples about box
ing them. After L won the champion
ship. Jack Kearns, my manager. con-
tended that mixed bouts are injurious
to the sport, and for that reason would
not consider any for me. 1t is diff
ferent now. If the press. public or
promoters want me to box a negro,
I'll gladly take the match. That goes
for Harry Wills and the rest of his ilk.
To be quite frank about. it, 1 need

Britain. other ships eventually will
be built in German shipyards.
Plan Huge Program.
That a huge ship building program
is contemplated not only by the Ham
burg-American company but by other
German lines is evidenced by prepara-
tions now in progress. 1t is learned a
meeting will be held this week between
the principal ship building concerns
and steel MAJ actureTS to discuss the
amount of material available in Ger
many for new construction. It is be-
lieved that if the conference discloses
that sufficient material cannot be had.
arrangements will be made to import
American steel, which. at the present
rate of exchange, can be laid down
cheaper than the German product.
Meantime on the lower end of Ham
burg harbor a new shipbuilding plant,
which, it is said, is destined to be the
largest in Europe, is nearing compile
ton. The Hamburg American line is
one of the principal stockholders in
this concern which will begin opera
ton within eighteen days and facilities
for quickly doubling its capacity.
Building, rather than chartering.
vessels is expected to be the Hamburg
American line aim, owing to the ne
ceSSity of securing uniformity in the
type of ships employed in the joint
service. If the yards succeed in OBJ
tanning credits and materials enabling
them to resume on their former scale
it is believed only a few years will
elapse before Germany again will pos
sess an imposing merchant marine.
Trade organizations of the shipping
companies are said to, remain intact
and they have sixty thousand unem-
ployed sailors to draw upon to man
now vessels

SCHOOL BOARD HAS POWER.
Patrons in Rural Districts Cannot Fix
Levy and Term Length.

In ,rural high school districts the
patrons attending annual meetings
have no authority to fix length of the
school term or the tax levy. Such
matters must be left to the rural high
school board.
This ruling has been made by the
supreme court in an appeal from the
Pottawatomfe county district court. In
rural high school district patrons
sought to handle all of the business
connected with the school. The SUI
preme court holds that the question
of a levy as well as the length of the
school year must be deter mined by the
board
