More than 200 women attended the mass meeting for University girls this morning, in the auditorium, where topics of especial ' interest to them were discussed. Miss Eva Johnston, Adviser of Women, talked on "Uni versity Ideals." To make of herself a well-rounded woman, should be the ideal of every girl, -believes Miss Johnston. She is here for develop ment, mental, moral and physical, but the direction of development depends upon herself entirely. "Mental de velopment should stand first," said Miss Johnston, "but the stepchild, so cial life, should not be neglected. Miss Johnston made several sug gestions to the girls; one, that they should shun mid-week affairs as much as possible, the other that they should insist upon chaperons at all parties which men attend, and that they should recognize them. Every girl shrould make a point to speak to the chaperons at least once during the evening it is only an ordinary courtesy. Other speakers were Miss Jose phine Sutton, who spoke on athletics; Miss Anne Shaw, on the new athletic a8sociaiton; Miss Marguerite Jack son, on class organization and the women's council; Miss Bob Lindsay and Miss Anna May Stokely, on Y. W. C. A. affairs. Mrs. A.

CHARLES J. WALKER. Five cows are supporting a student at the University of Missouri. G. C. Taylor of Armstrong, Mo., is running a dairy at 104 Dorsey street Taylor and L. R. Robb, another students from Armstrong, attended a recent sale near Columbia. They in tended to buy about three cows, but instead. Taylor bought six and Robb one. Taylor brought five of his to town and gets up at 4 o'clock each morning to do his milking and de livering. This takes about five hours each day. He sells milk cheaper to those who will call for it. Taylor has been running his dairy about a week, but has not had time to figure out accurately how profit able it is. So far, as he expresses it, he has just about made his own and his cows' feed. He is working hard to make it pay, for it took the money he had for the school year to buy the cows. Taylor was in Central College, Fay ette, last year, and this is his first year at the University. He is a soph omore in the College of Arts and Science, and carries fourteen hours a week besides military, in addition to his thirty-five hours a week "dairy". mm. help ' MrU.
