LIFE IS JUST ONE DANCE
AFTER ANOTHER, SAYS SHE
BY HECKY SHARP
Winter may come ami go. Lent may be on the wane and fascinating
advertisements of sport clothes for the flapper or dowager may entice the
Cye and still dancing remains for Columbia the amusement par excellence.
"Toujours on danso." Friday nights stretch out In a really unlimited
array of dances. They seem as inevitable as the taxes in Germany. The
absolute certainty of them might lead to an attitude of fatalism, if they
weren't always so frivolous. The rest of the week may be drab and color
less, but you can absolutely count on Friday night.
Miss Marjorie McGuire at Arrow Rock
are .Miss Alberta Thornburgr-, Miss
Uuth Johnson and Miss McGuire.
And no two of these dances are
alike, either. The day consecrated to
St. Patrick happily fell on last Fri
day, and the civil, electrical engineers,
mechanical, chemical engineers, quite
outdid any efforts of previous years
in giving a truly Irish dance. Be
fore this Friday night is well out of
the way. society is pouring over cos
turners1 catalogues, trying to decide
in what guise to appear at the K. A.
'bal masque." The possibilities in
clude Uncle Sam and Uncle Tom and
range from a "regular chappie" to
Louis Fourteenth.
The realization that "life Is real
life Is earnest" is day by day growing
more vague, for we are just now pass
ing through the "entr'acte" between
winter and spring proper. We have
all of a sudden come upon the sea
son when visionary man starts a
spring poem and practical woman
starts beating rugs, when man gets
down the fishing tackle and woman
gets out the nasturtium seeds, when
man puts his feet up on the desk at
the office and woman puts hers down
in the home. Hut that's another story.
Such things disturb the body social
only temporarily.

Hannibal Commercial Club to Ak for
Extension Instruct iiji. I
The trade extension committee of
the Hannibal Commercial Club has
passed a resolution asking that the
University enlarge its extension in
struction to include the retail mer
chants of the state. The resolution,
which will be sent to the Board of
Curators, urges that an attempt be
made to get financial aid from the
State Legislature to institute a course
patterned after the department main
tained by the State University of
Iowa.
The Hannibal organization will ask
other Commercial Clubs of the state
to co-operate by taking similar action.
More than 100 couples played guests
at St. Patrick's court Friday night at
Columbia Hall. An arch of green and
white, with green and white lights
hanging from it, covered the entire
ceiling. Around the hall a promen
ade walk was built, with columns cov
ered with small harps and shamrocks.
But the "piece de resistance" was an
enormous harp in the center of the
room, its strings formed by streams
of water which fell into a miniature
pool below. In the pool were green
and white lights and goldfish. At the
other end of the hall was the picture
of an engine, -with the headlight di
rected toward the fountain harp. Sweet
peas were given as favors, and the
programs were small white kid harps

F
ROM September, 1915, to
March 1, 1916, or in the
short period of 6 months,
Jk M issourian
has increased its circulation
from 1,853 daily to nearly
2,200 daily. In other words,
the circulation of the Missourian
has increased in this period
more than
PER
CENT
The best thing about this increase
is the fact that it has all been inside
of the city limits of Columbia and
on the rural routes out of Columbia.
The Missourian now has more
than 1,400 paid subscribers inside
the city limits of Columbia. It re
quires the services of 12 carrier boys
to deliver these papers to the citizens
of Columbia.
This circulation is distributed in
Columbia as follows: South of
Broadway 65 per cent. North of
Broadway 35 per cent. In the sec
tion south of Broadway there are
less than two dozen homes that do
not receive at least one copy of the
Missourian. In the section north of
Broadway the Missourian for the last
month has been adding new subscrib
ers at the rate of nearlv 10 a dav.
The big vital facts and reasons back of this increase are that the Mis
sourian covers Columbia completely each day with local and county news and
in additiion publishes the general news reports of the United Press Associa
tion. Another big reason for the Missourian's growth in circulation and ad
vertising is the fact that the Missourian carries absolutely no liquor, patent
medicine or other objectionable advertising. It is a home newspaper for every
member of the familv.
Advertising Increase
This phenomenal increase in circulation has found a ready re
sponse on the part of the merchants of Columbia in an advertising
way, for in the same period the Missourian has carried nearly 10,000
inches of paid advertising more than was carried by the paper in the
same period the preceding year. The exadt figures follow :
First six months 1915-16
First six months 1914-15
. . 41,148 inches
. 31.729 inches
Gain, 9,419 Inches.
In short, the Missourian has increased its advertising a little
more than 29 Per Cent in the short period of six months.
