LOCAL TRADITIONS KEPT
BY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Do you enjoy local history? Can
you feel the thrill Of some old ro-
nance or deep mystery when it is
connected with a well-known land
mark upon which your eyes are Of
ten accustomed to rest?
If you are a native Columbian, can
you pick out the first brick house to be
erected in the city, can you tell what
great man was born there? Then
OF course you know that Academic
Hall was once a federal prison, that
there was an Ashland Church a CEN
tury ago as well as today, that Thorn
as Miller, the pioneer Columbian, met
tragic death and that Missouri had
only one senator once upon a time.
If your grandmother or father has
not told you of these things, there
is only one place where you may look
them up without difficulty and that
is in the Missouri Historical Review,
a magazine published in Columbia
by the State Historical Society, which
undertakes to publish. according to
the secretary, F. C. Shoemaker, a list
of all historical articles in Missouri
newspapers.
The compilation of this data, so
valuable for local historical research,
was begun by Mr.. Shoemaker. In
discussing the probable reasons for
the greater number of historical
sketches Of the constructive type
being written in Columbia, Mr.. Shoe
maker said, Columbia is no more
rich in traditions than a dozen other
cities of the state where little or no
is made along this line.
/ firmly believe that it can all be
fairly attributed to one man and that
man is Dean Walter Williams. He
has always been deeply interested
in local history. The many excellent
articles that appeared
in the old Missouri Herald, edited
by him and E. w. Stephens, prove
this fact"
There is much practical value,"l
continued Mr.. Shoemaker, ito be
gained through the publication of To-
cal history. With knowledge OF
our own immediate past we can with

rnrAIs ARE SUSTAINING FORCE

Tbev Account for sMlrsele Of lsraeFs
Preservation Says Rabbi Sale.
~Ideals are the greatest sustaining
force in the world. and that is the
force which has maintained the Jews"
This is the view of Rabbi Samuel Sale
of st. Louis, who addressed the Jew
ish Students Congregation Sunday
night on "The Miracle of Isfael's
Preservation"
He said that 1t was a wonder the
Jews have persisted in spite OF per-
secution. "The persecution which the
Jews have undergone for ages mas
caused the cowardly to leave Judaism
and deny their Inheritance. he SAID.
"but the real Jew has remained ana
has been kept alive by his Ideals.

GRANGE AND POULTRY ASSO.
MEET TOGETHER

Ringoes- On last Saturday night the
local Grange entertained the members
of the Hunterdon County Poultry
A ssociation by an evening of music
and refreshments. Some interesting
information was given in discussions
by Mr.. Fred Matthews, E. R. johnson
John Gray and Louis Sutphin on the
increased production of eggs by the
means of artificial light in hen houses
before the regular hour of sun-up in
the winter months. Mr.. Sutphin was
the only one to give specific figures,
tltho all agreed that their increased
production amply warranted the ex-
pense of installing the lights. Mr.
Sutphin says that he had the same
number of hens in January 1920 as
in 1919, and that with artificial illum-
intion he increased his production
from $145. to 5000.
Mr.. Cooper, the editor, was pre-
sent, and gave some interesting negro
dialect songs and selections which
were keenly enjoyed. A reading by
was enjoyed. Some of her remarks
under the title of "Man" were that
statistic showed that the majority of
men in prison were unmarried. The
conclusion was that most men would
rather go to prison than marry. An
other was that the reason so many
men married their sisters-in-law was
because after their first wives had
died they wouldn't have to break in
new mothers-in-law.

Washington, Aug. 4.-President
Wilson in proclamation today
suggested and requested that De-
cember u be celebrated through
out the United States as the ter
centenary Of the landing of the
Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in 1920,
and appointed Samuel w. Mccall
and Richard Hooker of Massachu-
sets and George Foster Peabody
of New York as members of the
pilgrim tercentenary commission.
In the proclamation the president
recommends that the day be fitting
w observed to the end that salutary
and patriotic lessons may be drawn
from the fortitude, perseverance
and the ideals of the pilgrims
The presidents proclamation fol-
lows:
my fellow countrymen: Decem-
Der q next, will mark the tercen-
tenary of the landing of the pill
grims at Plymouth in 1920. The
day will be becomingly celebrated
at Plymouth under the auspices of
the Plymouth Pilgrim tercentenary
commission and at other localities
in Massachusetts. While this IS
proper and praiseworthy, it seems
TO me that the influences which the
ideals and principles of the pill
grims with respect OF civil liberty
and human rights have had upon
the formation and growth of our
institutions and upon our develop
ment and progress as nation mer-
its more than a local expression Of
our obligation, and makes fitting
nation observance Of the day.
Il therefore suggest and request
that the twenty first of December
next. be observed throughout the
union with special patriotic SerV-
ices in order that the great events
in American history that have re-
suited from the landing of those
hearty and courageous naVigators
and colonists may be accentuated

lean citizens Especially do rec
ommend that the day be fittingiy
observed in the universities, col

to the end that salutary and pa

the fortitude and perseverance anu
the ideals of this little band OF
churchmen and women who estab-
lished on this continent the flrst

and it's equal application to all,

month revenue from water users
there, was presented to the city
commissioners last night by D. X.
b. Sellers. representing the uni-
vcrsity Heights Improvement com
pany. City Manager Gladding was
instructed to investigate the prop
osition and City Attorney Keleher
its legality and report at the next
meeting of the commission.
Mr.. Sellers declared that ii would
be only a short time until the city
would have 10 increase it's water
supply. The hill east of University
Heights is 100 feet higher than the
present reservoir and his company
is considering building a reservoir
or standpipe on this site at a cost
of between $4,000 and $4,000 if
the city does not accept his pro-
posal. or the University Heights
Development company will sell this
land to the city at a minimum
cost. Everything used in the water
system is standard, Mr. Sellers
stated. He believed that it will be
but a short time until the Heights
will ask to come in as part of the
city.
A petition with 10 signers asking
for a street light at Fourteenth
street and Marble avenue was filed
for investigation.
An order was issued to appoint
Mr.. Ross to serve with II O. Duerr
