A Convex. Canal,

How the shape of the earth became
a matter for the decision OF an Eng
lish court Of law is told in the Spring
field Republican. The plaintiff, named
Hamden, held the opinion that the
earth was not round. He issued an
advertisement in which he challenged
philosophers. divines and scientific
men to prove the contrary from Scrip
ture. reason or fact. He deposited
S2.500 in bank, to be forfeited to any,
one who could prove to the satisfaction
of any intelligent referee that there
was such a thing as convex railway,
canal, or lake.
The challenge was accepted by the
late Alfred Russell Wallace, who
ranked with Darwin as a scientific
man. and who proved to the satisfac-
ton of the referee that the curvature
of the Bedford level canal, between
Whitney bridge and Welsh's dam (six
miles), was FIVE feet. more or less. He
received the money.
The plaintiff was poor loser" He
brought an action and recovered his
deposit on the ground that the whole
affair was wager, and was therefore
illegal.

AT bottom | should like to speak evil
of tradition, because am a modern :;
II wanted to open a shop, should
not paint upon it's front, Founded IN

black spirit that hovers behind us,
prompting US to do things because our
torefathers did them, preventing us
from examining these things i'm the
light of our common sense. | dislike
the past. | feel that the railway inn
proves on the stage coach. that we
wash more thoroughly than our grand
parents, and that we write better nov-
els than ever did Thackeray.
Only when these aversions have
been set down, am forced to acknowl-
edge that when I do meet a man who

them Out-well. | rather like him. |
detest the insOlence of the aristOcratic

the lower classes" but she is rather
charming woman to meet. It's very
awkward, Why can't people exem-
pltfy three centuries of culture and be
modern all the same?

thing, like whisky. if one does not
have too much of it. U do not want

the Pilgrim Fathers through the hardy
English stock which hunted savages

cannot do without the American ira

SHOW NAMED FOR A VALLEY
Quite = Ee~ CO Those Who Use the
Word Vaudeville" Are ignorant
Of Its Origin.

The Fairest Lady turned to her es-
cort at the variety show the other
night during the intermissiun and
asked him where the, word "vauGe-

"MOvies" is simple. she said. Any
one can trace the origin of the word,
coined by Young America and now
generally used. The British CINEMA"
applied to cinema tograph pictures Is
also easily traced.
1t wasn't until next day that the eS-
cort. who had pretended not to hear
the Fairest Lady's question about
vaudeville, got a chance to look it up.
Then he found that the word came
from the French Wal de Vire"-a val
ley In Normandy where originated
many humorous and Satirical drinking
"ongs that became popular al over
Fr0nce-l,nowu by the name Of the
place Of their origin. Eventually the
word became corrupted 70 "vaude-

ENTIRE STATE REPRESENT
ED AT FARMERS WEEK

"0ne hundred and nine Missouri
counties were represented by the 2845
persons who registered this year at
Farmers Week." said F. B. Mumford
Of the Missouri College of Agriculture
in summing up the activities of the
week. The only counties not repre-
scented were fancy, Stone, Dunklin,
Hickory and Carter.
Fourteen states also were repre-
scented: Iowa, Illinois. Nebraska, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kentucky,
Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, New
York, District of Columbia, Texas
and the Canadian Province Of Alberta.
'In this growth of attendance at
Farmers Week--one-sixth more than
any previous year--a very significant
factor is the large number of junior
farmers attending. More than 300
Missouri boys and girls gathered here
during the week to receive instruc-
ton and to compete for prizes worth
$500. Thirty-seven high schools of
the state sent teams from their voca-
tional agricultural classes. One hun.
dred boys in the state clubs took part
in the livestock class work and judg-
ing.
"One thousand persons were served
this year at the Farmers Banquet,
which was prepared by the Home Eco
Monies Department of the college
and served by student committees.
For the roasts, a purebred Hereford
steer in the College show herd had
been fattened and killed, weighing
IT'S pounds at ten and one-half months
age. The cream, butter and cheese
were supplied by the College Dairy
Department and the apples by the
Horticulture Department. The at
tendance could not have been larger
for the forty-five tables completely

"We are immensely pleased with the
phenomenal growth of attendance at
Farmers Week." concluded Dean
Mumford, "but for future develop
msnt additional room IS very urgently
needed"
