the cornerstone on August 28. 1871, was
q great occasion. Governor Brown was
invited to deliver the principal address.
IN anticipation Of his coming to Colum-
bia overland from Jefferson City about
noon on The day before the corber-stone
LAYING, delegation Of citizens and mem-
bers Of the Masonic fraternity, headed
BY a band, marched out Of town to
meet and escort the governor to the
residence Of r. B. Price, whose guest
be was 10 be during his stay in Colum-
his. The governor was delayed and
did not reach Columbia until midnight
and 30 stopped at the Columbia Hotel
instead Of going to Colonel Prices
house.
The Columbia Statesman Of that date
gives the following account of the exer-
eises:
:, The literary exercises opened in
the University Chapel at 9 o'clock
and continued till noon, at which
hour an adjournment was had to
the college green where basket
dinner was served The crowd was
immense. Indeed il was unexpect-
edly large, and the vast dinner prov
ed insufficient for the drafts upon
il. To tell the truth, the CASTRO
nonie portion Of the program was
to q large extent failure and not
as creditable TO Columbia as il
ought to have been; and this from
two causes---insnfficieney and an
utter lack Of directing and gov
erning head. We hope neither will
occur again.
The Masonic fraternity headed by the
Columbia silver cornet band lead a
procession from the courthouse to the
northeast corner Of the new Scientific.
Building where the cornerstone was laid.
Governor Brown delivered an address.
In the cornerstone was deposited her.

FAIRPoRT STATION WE'LL EQUIPPED
The Fairport station site was recon.
mended in 1908 by members Of the de-
partment Of biology al the University
Of Missouri, after a survey Of the Mis-
sissippi River from northern Missouri
10 north-cemral Minnesota. The equip
meni is Of the best. according to Dociaf
Curtis. A new 100000 baiIding was
recently built and especially fitted with
laboratory and other equipment for the
study Of the fish and other ffesh-waier
problems.
The work done tends. ii is said. to-
ward the discovery Of what degree Of
protection Of FISH is needed. what condi-
tons Of biological, chemical and physi-
cal environment are favorable for in.
creased production Of fish and other
aquatic animals. and what measures may
be taken TO improve ponds. lakes ana
streams. The objective is the prevention
Of the continded depietiip Of aquatic
resources and the bringing Of all interior
waters to a condition Of greater produc-
lion.

DR.. ". c. Curtis oi the biology de

bert Hoover, Secretary OF Commerce, th'
problems relating 10 the conservation

ter were discussed. Remedial measures
including principles rather than deiaitf
OF legislative protection oil animal and
hsh life, were taken up al the confer
enee.
The fact was brought out at the meet
ines that the fresh water supply was
rapidly decreasing or becoming so pol
luied by lis cse as an economical and
convenient sewage.way that the survival
Of many forms Of life is nearly impos-
sible Making The admission of sewage
OF other liquid wastes to public waters
unlawful when in such condition as to
render ii dangerous to human health or
injurious TO useful plants or animal lie,
was one Of the primary recOmmenda-
lions.
Representatives from all parts of the
country were present al the meeting. in
cludihg spOrfsmen, fishermen, scientists
and persons interested in the prevention
Of complete depletion Of aquatic re
sources.

work along the lines Of scientific re

indianapolis Speedway Decoration Day

Hoosier pilot who rode to glori-
GUS victory in the 1919 race, has
entered the lists for the 1921 ev-
ent. He will drive Peugeot, the
car in which he rode to victory
two years ago. Last year Wilcox
teamed with Jules Goux and Andre
Boillot, but the Peugeots they
drove were OF new and untried de-
sign and they were found wanting
and rolled to the pits long before
the race ended. This year Boillot
will drive a Talbot-Darracq, but
Goux probably will remain on the
other side of the Atlantic. Howdy's
1919 victory was marked exam
pie of heady driving. Inconspicu-
GUS in the early stages of the race,
yet within striking distance of the
front, he dashed into the lead in
the last quarter and was not even

line.
To the yearly standing prize of
$4,000, distributed among the
first ten to finish, with 100000
going to the victor, will be added
100000 in lap prizes. This plan
was inaugurated last year and 1t

SO bitterly, making the 1920 clas-
sic the best in the history of the

De Palma's Sportsmanship.
De Palma probably will pilot
Ballot from the Paris factory. This.
favorite of American racing fans
won his laurels on the local speed
way nine years ago through mis-
fortune rather than achieved
glory. In the 1912 race he showed
the way for 495 miles In a Merce-
des, then, with only two laps to
go his car went bad. Undaunted,
The ltalian-American pushed his
mount around the course to the
finish flag. but his chances on thel
$4,000 pot of gold were lost. Ill
