Of the University. There is a movement,
on foot to form stock company to build
another department store on this site
The three buildings destroyed by las,
January's fire, with the exception Of an
addition on the north side of the depart
menf store, were all built in 1892, jus,
after similar fire had razed the bust
ness block Of Rocheport, then situated
between the river and the present loca-
tion of the railroad tracks. The building
which had housed the Rocheport Bank
since it was founded in 1868 by DIR. ".
S. Woods. perhaps best known through
his connection with William Woods Col
lege. was burned at that time as was
the building then occupied by the Dim
nit drug business. ,
The NJ. X. ( T. tracks were then
being laid, SO these two concerns rebuilt
on the higher ground to the norihward
to avoid being caught between the rail
road and the river.
At the same time, e. C.. Dimmit,
cousin of F. c. Dimmii, built the depart

Dimmii's Drugstore. lately occupied by
J. B. Harris. He sold out after having
been in business for about seventeen
years.

can now be found on hte site below the

Mr. Dimmit saved small part of his

POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
WEEK HELPS SERVICE
Slots in POstOffice Labeled to Clas-
sify Mail and Insure Prompt
Handling.

More prompt mail service in Columbia
is the aim of the Columbia Postoffice in
its local observance of the national Pos.
tai Improvement Week campaign. P.
s. Woods, postmaster, and all the en-
ployees in the postal service here are
asking the cooperation of the public in
their effort TO effect faster service.
One of the first steps in the campaign
was the labelling. Monday, of the three
mailing slots in the postoffice. One slot
is labeled. ''State of Missouri Mail
Only; the second one. ''Out of State
Mail Only; and the third, Columbia
Mail Only" Persons mailing letters are
requested to drop them into the proper
box This facilitates prompt and sysie-
maiic handling of the mails.
A series of posters, on display in the
lobby of the postoffice, advocate coop
Grafton between the postoffice and per-
sons who send large number of letters
each day. The first request made is
for early mailing. The habit Of accum-
oil dt
the end of the day not only increases
the work of the postoffice employees but
makes efficient handling of the mails
impossible. Separation of letters and
bundles into Missouri, out Of Missouri,
and Columbia packages also is asked by
the postal authorities here.
Instructions for properly addressing
letters and packages are also printed on
posters in the postoffice lobby. The pos
tai authorities hope to standardize the
form Of address on posted communica-
tions Of all kinds. Freak forms and fads
make endless work for the postoffice
workers who have to stamp the letters.
Postal traffic in Columbia is abnor-
maily heavy and Mr. Woods believes that
cooperation between individuals and the
postoffice is the surest method for max
ing service efficient He hopes that
Postal Improvement Week will set a
standard for every week in the year.

Folks, let's don't do it. The $1,000
Fellows" club is not, and never wa!
a charitable institution. There are g
lot Of men in Liberal who find it 9
great pleasure to do this work and
give the money. The gifts from the
"Good Fellows" club are not looked
upon as charity but as gifts from
Santa Claus, who is the chief "Good
Fellow" and many people who
would hesitate and even refuse char
ty will gladly accept the gifts of the
club for they recognize the differ
ence. Charity is ministration to the
needy, while the "Good Fellows
club does its work for the personal
pleasure the members get out of it,
and if you will talk to any of the
fellows who have taken part in the
work you will soon learn that they
get lot more pleasure out of it than
the people who receive gifts.
The Club does not limit it's gifts to
the needed things as is the case in
charitable work. Toys for the kid
dies, candy, nuts and fruit, here and
there an article of clothing or pair
of shoes, and many, many times there
have been tears in the eyes of strong
men when they saw the pleasure
their gifts brought to the children.
The "Good Fellows" club is mat
ter of sentiment. Many of the fell
lows are not situated that they come
in contact with the people to any
great extent. They have a tender
spot in their hearts, desire to really
do something to make this old world
brighter, and to kill the club will
mean that they win lose great deal
more than will the children who will
fail to receive gifts on Christmas
morning.
Again, we say, let's don't do it.
Let's don't deprive these men of their
day of pleasure, or the kiddies their
Christmas cheer. Money is scarce,
many good men are out of work, or
