LOCAL PLAYWRIGHTS

With the growing interest in dra-
matte art in the University as shown
in the University Dramatic Club
performance Wednesday night, now Is
the time to encourage the production
of plays written by people in or
around Columbia.
The drama contains the finest in
literature. 1t ranks high, because it
contains more of the fine arts than
any other form. America has COM
paritatively few real playwrights OF
any rank. We rarely hear of an
American play having a long run in
England or France, but we do hear
of foreign plays having large runs in
this country. Our novelists are COM
ing to the front, but not our drama
lists.
Here in the University, where the
nroper material for the leading writ
ers of the country might be developed
there is no field for displaying the
results of the work accomplished, es-
pecially in the drama. People will
read novels and short stories, but
they only think of the drama as be-
ing played before them.
This is where student organizations
in dramatics can apply themselves.
To receive praise locally is an incen-
tive to higher and better works. The
University Dramatic Club has offered
to produce all creditable work writ
ten by local authors.

HE EVENING MISSOURIAN
GEORGE WASHINGTON

Washington stands alone and un.
approachable, like a snowpeak rising
above its fellows into the clear all
of morning. with dignity, constan-
cy, and purity which have made him
the ideal type of civic virture to sue
ceeding generations. No greater ben
eft could have befallen the Republic
than to have such a type set from the
first before the eyes and mind of the
people"
1t took an Englishman, Lord Bryce,
to draw this character portrait of
George Washington, and to sketch
with one deft stroke his relation and
significant importance to the strug-
Cling nation. Americans cannot see
Washington because Of the hatchet
and the cherry tree just as they can
not see Wilson because of the League
of Nations. We are too familiar with
the stories of the Father of Our COun-
try to judge him Alright. We are too
near him and he is too much one OF
US for us to decide upon his real
place in history. 1t requires a for
eigner's point of view to place Wash
ington at his true level, to put him
on the pedestal where he really be-
longs

THE BOONE COUNTY HOSPITAL

THE BOONE COUNTY HOSPITAL
Whether or not Boone County will
act to expedite the erection of a coun-
ty hospital, adequate to the problems
of community health, will be deter
mined at the special election for an
additional bond issue of $4,000, March
81.
Investigation by the Boone County
hospital commission has disclosed the
fact that the original bond issue of
100000 will not be sufficient to con-
struct a building of the size contem-
plated in the drawings submitted to
the board of trustees. The drawing
provides for twenty-three patients
rooms, three wards, one major opera
ton room, one minor operation room,
one maternity room, an infant room.
and a numbers of nurses dining and
waiting rooms. The steadily increase
in the cost of building material and
labor makes the original bond issue
inadequate to meet the needs OF the
proposition.
Surely no more convincing evidence
of the pressing need for county hos
pital could be submitted to the voters
of Boone County than the needless
suffering, which, from lack of medi-
cal care and competent nursing. has
been prevelant in the last two years
during the influenza epidemic. Nurses
and doctors are human beings-able
to go only to the limit of their men
tai and physical capacities. When
that limit is reached, amateur nurs-
ing care must be substituted for pro-
fessional service and the results to
the patient are likely to be less IA
vorable.
The Boone County hospital will
stand for community service. A force
of physicians and nurses, capable of

Guests of the Kappa Sigma fra
ternity revelled in true colonial at
mosphere at the formal dance given
at the Daniel Boone Tavern last
night.
The hall was decorated with red,

animal skins, occupied the center of
the floor and served as a favor booth.
Toward the middle of the evening,
favOrs were brought from within the

room, where the fraternity colors of

coping with the emergencies and
problems Of county health, would be
maintained. AS the fire department
stands vigilant for the protection Of
public and private property; SO would
the hospital guard and battle for the
good health of Boone County.
Vigilant service has been given to
the cause of health by city physicians
and members of the Parker Memorial
Hospital. but these men and women
are not all powerful|they cannot
be all places at once.
The Parker Memorial Hospital was
badly overcrowded last fall; yet it
was unable to answer all the calls for
hospital service. Overtaxed facilities
can give only one result, less eff
cient service.
If Boone County neglects to exer-
else precautions against the return Of
influenza and its attendant complica-
tions, it will be in the positions of the
ten foolish virgins, who brought no

Boone County should adopt the pol
icy of prevention and preparedness by

tional bond issue of $4,000, which the

NO OFFICIAL PAPER
HAS BEEN DESIGNATED

The county commissioners were
to have appointed an official news
paper for 1920 at their meeting
Monday OF this week. 1t seems.
'wever, that all the papers Of the
county had submitted bids for the
publication of the commissioner
proceedings and the tax sale list at
rates provided by the statutes and
the commissioners rejected all bids.
For q number OF years this work
has been done at . low rate.
but the very high advance in tho
cost OF publishing and printing has
forced the publishers to demand
more for their work and no reason
exists why the county should pay
less than individuals for legal
printing.

OIL FIELDS BEING MADE

J. E. Kennedy. president Of

The company has had . great
deal Of trouble In getting the
twenty.inch and fifteen-inch
casing necessary to start the
well. but Mr.. Kennedy be-
lieves that obstacles In this
line have been successfully
overcome. It would be fool
ish to start the well any small.

arise for 1000 feet Of drilling,
which could not be done with
a smaller hole at the top.

CINE in place. Only . few
hours will be required to fire
up and start the work, but
work will not be started until
all the casing and equipment
necessary for the complete
work is on the ground and the
end Of financial troubles in
sight. Two shifts will be
worked, day and night, and
work will not be stopped, bar.
ring accidents, once started,
until the well u completed.
Finances are coming fairly
well, but not fast enough
to suit the company, and the
campaign is now being launch
ed to wind this up very short
ly so that work can be started
and not stopped. The price of
later offerings Of the Travel
er's stock in the valley, If any
are made after the present al
lottment subscribed, will be
doubled.
DR.. Bartlett, the noted ge-
ologist, is inspecting the Trav.

astic in regard to the prospect.
