FISH SPEARING LATEST
SPORT ON BIG RIVER

Spearing Of rough fish, carp and
buffalo, is the present sport of many
along the Mississippi since the sub
siding Of the recent high waters. The
fisherman places himself at the
smaller channels between the large
ssloughs and lays in wait for the fish
which sooner or later make a futile
attempt to get back into deep water.
Carp and buffalo of large size are
speared with ease. They are not very
good eating being greasy and Of rank
taste b.t the sport is good for those
who like it.
Spearing is permissible, except at
night with the use of light, for no
game fish will venture into the shall
low water.

hMER!CANIZING HISTORY.
commerce

Not long ago an Oregon historian pro.
posed writing a new history. 1t was to
be an Englsh-american history. In a
lc,icr to the would-bc author, United
States Senator Borah objected to such
a hyphenated history on the grounds tha,
the students Of the United States should
be taught United States history, just as
English students should be taught Eng
lish history. He further stated that a
simple statement of the building of this
republic would be more beneficial to
students than the histories that are now
being used, which he characterizes as
more or less on the fence.
Senator Borah is right. If there is any
thing we need in this country more than
anything else, it is not less pride. less
love, less devotion to our institutions
end government, but more.
The story of those heroic days Of
American struggles told over and over
again will enable the future generation
to catch the heroic inspiration and i'm
bibc something Of the sturdy manhood Of
those bygonc days.
= There is great need for a truly Amer.
lean history-one which will help us
luild up our country and give us Ameri-
can mind, American purpose and Amer
lean ideals.

FLAPPER is WHAT We
WOULD HAVE LIKED TO
BE, SAY TWO WOMEN

I'VE like the fapper-in fact, we
envy her," say Mrs. Anna Patton Scot,
Of Columbia and Mrs. Dotia Trigg Coon
ey Of Marshall, who wrote the Studies
in Ebony" Both are Journalism Week
visitors.
'She is just what We would have liked
to be but were not because we we're
continually suppressed whenever we want.
ed to do what they are doing today.
Instead We spent our time reading of
tall dark-haired men with sparkling eyes,
such as were pictured in the novels of
our day, and wishing and dreaming about
them. Often, as we struggled to get that
tiny waistline. the thought most in our
minds was that some chap would want
to encircle it.
To-day the girl has no time for such
idleness. She can do most everything.
The men in our time ridiculed the hoop
skirts and bustles we wore just as much
as they do the short skirt that the flap
per wears today. The trouble with them
is that they don't know what they want"
1t would seem that the chiropractors
agree with Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Coon.

the statement was made that the AaDper
more nearly reaches the Greek ideal of
form, than any other women they have
known.

The Old Trails Route, which passes
through Columbia. has only one formda,

The selection Of the Old Trails Route
"a cross-siate highway would benefit

would greatly increase the accessibility
Of Columbia for convention purposes.
