KNEE.DEEP IN JUNE

"Nooniime and June time, and dowr
around the river" sung the Hoosicr poe
who had surely been a barefoot boy and
who, oEce in his life. had been. evidently
knee-deep in June.
Noon, June, and riyer-words symbolic
of the essence of summer. are a promise
Of long, eloudlcss, dangerous days, when
nature 5eckons and when all the world
follows after.
June symbolizes beginning. Ii is the
month Of brides. 1t is the month of
graduates. Ii is vacation time, rose
time, clover time.
1t is good to be knee-deep in June,
whether in clover, cool water. rose gard.

be saturated with the fragrance and the
touch Of natures loveliness-it is good
simply TO be alive!
Let us enjoy it. before the scorching
heat that the end of summer brings has
burned ad killed all things beautiful.

GOLF CROWNS TOPPLE;
OTHERS ARE WOBBLING
Two Big Champions Have Been Sue
ceeded and More Seem to Be
Ready for Defeat.

By United Press.
New YoRK, June l3.-Already tn
young 1922 golf season looks like
heartless champion buster.
Two bgi champions have already beeI
succeeded and more seem all tagged ant
billed for the fate.
Miss Cecil Leitch, former British wo
man champion, regarded as the creates
woman player in the world. not only los

received the wors, beating that final
/ ist ever received in that tournament
Next on the list was Willie Hunter,
British amateur champion, who dropped
his title to E. W. Holderness.
The British opdn championship is
next on the list and it isn't welding the
hammer to figure that Jack Hutchinson,
the American holder of the title. may
be the next champion casualty.
Before sailing, Jock the Hutch, warn
ed his followers not to expect too much
of him and he announced that he felt he
would not be able to retain the title.
Jock knows a good deal about British
golf and the conditions under which the
tournaments are staged over there and he
is not rash enough to boast Of doubtful
conquest.
Many golf experts figure that Jesse

Jim Barnes will have no easy time COM

Americans did not figure very much

showed she is back in the form which
gave her predominance over all the other
American woman stars for several years.
1t would be no surprise this year to see
her win back both the American and the
Canadian titles.
Miss Leitch had intended to invade
Canada and the United States again
this summer. but since she has lost her
title she may cancel her engagements.
Miss Wethered, the new champion,

WILL BRIDGE THE MISSOURI
Thirteen Counties Along Lakes-to.
Gulf Highway Raise Fund.

Financial quotas for a free bridge
across the Missouri River, at point no,
yet decided, have been guaranteed BIZ
thirteen counties through which the
Lakes-to-Culf highway passes. The sue
cess OF the campaign to raise the neces.
sary funds in the counties benefited by
the road was announced at a meeting of
road boosters at Marshall, Mo-, June 6.
This action for raising the funds grew
out of a decision at the Lakes-to-CuIf
meeting in Springfield, April l9, that
this route would probably not be made
the north and south primary, or high
type. road through the state unless free
bridge could be offered TO the State High
way Commission.
1t was realized that each Of the thr-
teen counties would benefit by a high
type road, and plan was made whereby
those counties were TO guarantee a total
of one-fourth million dollars for the
bridge. Under the plan each county
subscribed on the basis of its assessed
valuation hoping to get federal aid for
the same amount as would be subscribed.
The project depends on the Highway
Commission designating the Lakes-to-
Gulf route the northand-souih primary
road.
The quotas had to be obtained by free
will subscriptions in all the counties ex-
cept Saline and Carroll. Owing 10 lack
Of time to conduct campaign in each
county, business men underworld the
proposition, pledging themselves for the
amounts needed. Campaigns for the
money will follow later.
The location of the bridge is not yet
settled.

MUSEUM TREASURES.

); While we inspected the treasures Of
the Ccnfucius private museum-thcre was
a rare urn, an incense burner, rare pieces
of jade, wall hangings-ihe younger
uncle told US something Of the ambitions
held for the young heir to the title, the
property and the lends which the family
holds by virtue of various emperors' gifts.
What would the youngster do when he
came of age. what hopes did his family
hold for him? We asked the uncle who
guided US. His face lighted. he held the
boy tcnderly while he. said: q.
! HE mHst be educated to be teacher,
to guide the people Of the province He
will study in China, and then may jour.

His work for China? He will travel
throughout the country and we hope
! that early in life he may begin to show
some of the characteristics which will dis
tinguish him as one capable of leader.

portunity to be what the people Of this

PROPERTY BADLY HANDLED
Then We talked of the present state Of
affairs in the K'ung family. The uncle
explained to us that the older uncle, who
devoted the greater part Of his time to
the smoking of opium, was responsible
for the lack of funds for the proper up.
keep of the Confucius estate in Chofu.
While the holder of many tracts of land
given by various emperors of China, the |
older uncle refuses to interest himself |
in the upkeep of the property, and it is j

subsequent interviews with leading Chi.

the fact that the young duke was i'm

sands of dollars But all such proper
ties, he further expained, were held by
the older uncle whose interest in the
opium pipe crowded out all interest in
the matter OF the proper handling of the
Confucius property.
TWO HOURS TALK
We left the palace of the K'ungs after
two hours of conversation with the
younger uncle, and with various atten.
dants. Again We passed the rows of at
lendants, who again stood at attention
as We crossed the little courtyard.
Out in the little town there is a quiet
and an understanding of the teachings

other provincial sections Of the repub-

this same leaven is at work in other

The Columbia Commercial Club and
the Boone County Farm Bureau are CO.
operating in an effort to revive the Boone
County Fair.
Boone County Fair once ranked
among the best in the state. Bad seasons
and crop failures forced the promoters
to abandon the project several years ago.
There are many counties in the state
whose wealth is not as great as Boone
Couniys, yet they conduct successful
fairs each year. 1t is difficult to make
. county fair profitable. The trouble lies
in lack of support by the residents.
No community project can claim more
uni6cation Of support than can the coun-
y fair. Exhibits showing the richness of
the country arouse and maintain local
pride. The gathering Of the people en-
dances the sociability Of the community.
The action to revive the once thriving
institution Of Boone County demands the
hearty support of every individual in the
county. Other counties have fairs; why
rot Boone County? When a member Of
the committee asks your cooperation for
snyihing-whether il be active work.
