FURS FIRST
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 7, 1920.
Join the crowd and break those New Year's Resolutions before it is too late.
All sorts of fur garments were never so expensive, and probably just for this reason, they were never so popular. The French government has regulated the prices on this leading luxury because the working girls over there must have it along with their cobweb waists and silk hose, not being able otherwise to keep warm.
But we have no such legislation in this land of the free and home of the profitier. Also the fact that there is no duty on dressed skins and raw pelts have helped us to secure the balance of the fur trade. Every possible kind of fur is being sought and utilized and prices are fixed as the dealers see fit. Cat and rat and rabbit, coney and 'possum and skunk, never would know themselves after the xperts make them over into aristocrat and alluring "necessities" at a genuine figure. In genuine furs the mute skin has risen from five dollars to twenty-five a pound, and the black fox heads the list at $7,600 per for the pair, which makes a neck-piece and muff. They brought only $5,0000 last year
The sea-otter is the rarest fur, so few of the animals being obtainable that no price is quoted. But the Russian sable is able to hold its own. A woman in New York has a coat of this really desirable quality made of ninety-three peltes and valued at $85,000.00.
And the first woman's entire wardrobe consoled, for a happy time, of a single skin that cost absolutely nothing.
What a beautiful structure the Administration Building is, with its unfinished north side, its beard walks and the debris scattered around it.
GOOD RIDDANCE
The entire nation breathed a sigh of relief when the "Societ*Akrt", left America with its cargo of raids. And now the nation is drawing another breath preparatory for another sigh as the next ark leaves.
The undesirable communists, I. W. Ws., anarchists, and bolshievs are being surely weeded out of the country. Those who escape deportation or other punishment will be left without leaders. And without leaders this class of society counts for nothing. They only followed the lead of the radicals because it was the easiest course for these most shiftless, lazy, worthless individuals to follow. They have no ideas of their own. Their conception of a government turned upside down was given them by the very persons who have been or will be deported.
The trouble the radicals have caus
ed in this country has no doubt be- due for the most part to the feeling of unrest that swept the world at the close of the war. All the world knows what the results were when the com-munists gained the upper hand in Russia. Austria is still in the grip of the red movement.
But with the leaders of the radicals removed and their followers hunting another policy to adhere to, it is not too much to expect the United States to soon regain herself and become the gathering of peaceful inter-dependent groups she was before such things as radicalism and bolaheim were given serious thought. If they have any reason whatsoever left, even though it be ever so perverted, the former radicals, reds, and I. W. Ws cannot help but understand that their methods will not be tolerated. And to avoid punishment these persons must turn to peaceful pursuits of honest occupations. Work is the real cure for unrest and nervousness, whether it be individual or national.
Every student should read for general culture one hundred best books in general literature. Make it a part of your course. Do it now, while you can get the books. And if they do not get you, read them again!
STRIKING A MATCH
Dr. William Osler, who died a natural death the other day was sixty years old when he made the remark about chloroforming people of that are.
And the thing that made him fam ous he did not say.
What he did say was in the facetious introduction to an after-dinner speech where the young man and his achievements were much in evidence. The true text was "You young fellows will be wanting next to chloroform a man when he gets to be sixy", very naturally using his own tale of time.
All of which is here set down to illustrate the fact that a little fire often kindles a thing you can't put out.
He awoke next morning to find his name and the half-truth flashing over the whole country. A few faddish scientists upheld him. The majority condemned him. And now that he has gone to his reward his character and success receive due notice.
PROFITEERS AND CHILDREN
In recent tests in Columbus, Ohio,
only 12 percent of the thousands of
school children were found to be
properly nourished, while 46 per
cent are more than four pounds under
weight.
This appalling deficiency is charged up to the high cost of living, and the city has provided for an investigation. Investigation makes an easy job with good pay for the lucky incumbent.
Meantime, 'proper food is being provided at the various public schools, and the parents are invited to pay for the portions given their individual children. But if they cannot buy the necessary food and fuel for sufficient nourishment at home, how can they pay for the school rations? The profitferer is no respecter of persons and there is precious little discount on wholesale quantities, if we believe the local dealers.
That is a pitiful picture of children perishing in the countries devastated by the war. Children starving in this American land of plenty rings responsibility for conditions mecanically home.

"Where are you going, my pretty maid?"

"To put my fortune in furs," she said.
A Kansas City dealer offers a rear rose-point lace blower for sale at the moderates price of $8,500. The sub-chevron will probably buy it.
Since woolen hose are so popular,
Rhoda Dendron, out at Edgeville,
wants to know why she cannot wear
some perfectly good yarn mittens.
Buckles for ladies' pumps are now very reasonable, some good authors have listed them as fur-below.
When Mr. Morntoremur had to hang out the weekly washing for a time he built a clothes rect so he could reach it from the back porch. He said it took too much time and strength to keep the old-fashioned line in the mud.
It takes something more than an electrical washer and vacuum cleaner to make a good housekeeper.
Scarcity of calendars is probably due to printers' strikes and price of paper. But K.U. students will keep their dates just the same.
The average woman dresses herself in front of her face. Would some power the gittie gie' her to see how she often looks in the back!

Is the Evening Missouri trying to discourage engagements at M. U? In one edition of the paper recently it printed both an article on the increased price of diamonds and one on the $10,000 loss the University suffered because of the recent theft of a little platinum there.
In New York this year women voters are required to give their exact ages. This is being done in order to avoid confusion between mothers and daughters who have the same names and addresses. In some cases, a printed record is the only means by which they can distinguish many of them.
"Slaves to Union's" says a headline, but that doesn't interest us as much as that invisible class up there somewhere who are slaves to the old slogan, "Git a'plenty while yer gitting."
Some people want to be president,
and others long for fame, but most

"As a Mexican people, the Yaquis have passed," was the declaration made by a prominent business man of the international border, commenting upon press reports of a victory recently claimed for the Mozicans over a Yaqui band. "Once," he continued, "there must have been 20,000 Yaquis. Some were shipped to Yucatan, but most of the Yaquis went to the taking of their agricultural lands, have departed from Mexico.
REMNANTS OF THE YAQUI
It is claimed that three-fourths of the remaining northern Yaguis, or about 3,000, now are in Arizona, including nearly all the families. Fully 2,000 are in the Salt River Valley, prospering in the picking of cotton or in farm work. They have a settlement of their own, Gadalune, a few miles south of Tempe, and this安置 today may be considered the largest Yaqui nation. It has its own church and business houses and celebrates all Yaqui fea days after ancient custom and with tribal dances.
Despite their history, the Yaquis here are known as docile and industrious people. Very rarely do they appear in the petty courts. They are valued on the farms as willing and strong and, save on feast days, usually keep at work steadily—Christian Science Monitor.
"John," asked his wife, who was writing to one of her married friends "which is proper to say 'I differ from you' or 'I differ with you?'".
Few things are needed to make a wise man happy; nothing can make a cool content; that is why most men are miserable—La Rochefoucauld.

"After being my affluent for five years she breaks the engagement and sends back the ring."
"Well, that engagement ring has doubled in value. Wouldn't wonder if you could get a better girl with it."
Fashion's Power
"That's terrible news," wailed the man with shiny sleeves.
"Some of the most fashionable peo people are going to wear old clothes."
"If old clothes become fashionable they'll cost so much that nobody can afford to buy a second-hand suit."

from the New York World. The wave of senescence extravagance in the United States country is a bilingual menace. It gives comfort and supplies texts to revolutionists. It insists panic and reaction, with their rain of ruined hopes and homes. It warns against the world.

By raising its rediscount rate the Federal Reserve Bank sought to break the endless chain that constrained its lending with the high cost of living. It confesses failure. A tremorous increase is reported in the luxury trades, and, while it continues, along with a surge in the number of stocks, unless cannot come down.
The bank's report for November acquires the very rich of undue share in the blame. It finds that working men's families are not indulging in reckless buying to the same extent as women, and that a full section of the comfortably well-to-do, hitherto the most stable part of the community, that has gone daft.
It is not exaggeration to cant the Cover madness. "To high prices on resistance." Buyers "accept the higher prices as quite to be expected." Often they are unacustomed to the purchase of such expensive stuff as they are now buying, and have no knowledge of what prices used to be.
Rrecklek buying, in the judgment of the bank, "acts directly to postpone the return to lower prices." Economy is as patriotic now as it was during the war, but nobody seems to believe it.

"Please Get Married"
In "Please Get Married" adapted from Oliver Morosco's Broadway success by James Cullen and Lewis Allen Brown. Viola Dana has the captivating role of Murel Ashley, the clinging little bride of "Ferdy" Walton, who lacks three months of being of age. The pair are wed by a parson, against the violent objections of Ferdy's father, and start immediately on their honeymoon. Their parents then discover that the supposed parson was a burglar and they are horrified at the plight of the innocent youngsters. They set out in pursuit. The newlyweds register at a hotel, but their honeymoon is interrupted by a fire and other embarrassing circumstances. To add to their dismay, they learn that they are perhaps not married at all. How this delightful (to the spectator, at least) mix-up is finally straightened out is unfolded in a series of highly diverting scenes that have all verve and snap of the Frenchiest of French fares.
