JJenver, with an enrollment of more than
.seven thousand, will address the Stephens
Gllege students tonight and tomorrow
night. Thursday night she will give a
public address in the college auditorium.
Mist Griffith was n teacher in the
rade school of Denver trn years ago
in the industrial district of the city. She
found that the pupils in her room had
older, brothers and sisters who had not
'finished the seventh grade. Becoming in-
. Jerested ia them she formed a night class
'in the school building. The class became
popular and grew rapidly.
In time, the school board of the cit)
offered Miss Griffith a principalsbip in
one of the ward schools. She refused
the position and asked that the board give
her Instead a certain building for an
'Opportunity School.
yTne Opportunity grew and included in
its membership, not only bojs and girls
'bevond school age, but hard working
men and women.' The day arrived when
a carpenter shop and equipment was c
necessity. The Denver school board fur
t rushed it willingly.
TThel( girls of" the schol dressed
cheaply, and with
pitiful attempt to
imitatr'pattern sheets.
-A beauty parlor was the reply Miss
.Griffith made to this, situation. The girls
grasped all suggestions quicklv learning,
the unknown art of the amcure, Lair
dressing and seat, appropriate clothes.

A helper had been addd to the staff
of the school. Her business is to make

call at the school to see what it is like
Tactful suggestion and genuine interest

board to go on a lecture tonr though

DISCUSSES LIBRARY LAW
Bill to Be. Presented to State Legis
lature. H. O. Severance, at a meeting of the
Community Council in the Commercial
Club rooms last night, explained the
County Library Law which the Missouri
Library Association is to have presented
to the State Legislature this winter. The
till is being drawn up by a committee of
which Purd B. Wright of the Kansas
Ctry Public Library is chairman. It is
not in its nal form.
'The bill as ft now stands makes the
following provisions: The county court
of any county in its own motion or en
the, petition of 100 persons may call an
ejection for the purpose of levying a tax
nai. to. exceed 2. mills for the establish
ment of a library which shall haw
branches in the form of delivery station;
at postofEces, stores or homes all over
the county, which shall use book wagons
for. the distribution of books. A county

the Lbrarv is already established harinc

A Ldl similar to this one was presented
to the Legislature two jears ago bet the
members adjourned without considering
it.
In discussion tof the bill by the Com
munity Council it a decided that it
would be more elective if some provi
eion were made, for lulling the county li
braries up closely with the woik of the
country schools. Miss Ella V. Dobbs
agreed to take a copy of the bill with her
to the executive meeting of the State
Teachers Association next week with
' view to accomplishing this.
i Miss Lelia Wilbs librarian of the Co-
j lumbia Public Library, reported that the
attendance of 2027 at the City library
' during the last month was the largest
since the establishment of the bbrary.
The adult Looks loaned were 631, juve
nile 232, and nonScuon 283. The
amount collected in fines was 10 43 and
new books rented 23 times amounted to
2.08.

The largest building here is Academic

About the smallest building on the cam
pus is the Mdog bouse which is main

Idle Ground Brings No Profit
The modern farmer wastes no ground.
Every inch of land that can possibly be
cultivated is used. Rotating the crops,
enriching the land with new plant food,
utilizing every possibility, he continues
to use and profit by his acres. It brings
him gain only while he adds to it and
cultivates it. Idle ground brings no
profit.
Idle postage brings you no profit
cither.
Necessity demands that you expend a
certain amount each month for mailing
bills. Is that (postage-a net loss? You
pay for one full ounce of mail in that
envelop; you send a fraction of an ounce.
The innumerable- new ideas you could
give jour customers through "envelop
stuffers" would giv6 the monthly bill a
welcome. Use envelop stuffers, rotate
them, fill your bills with new ideas for
your clients and your postage will not be
idle waste.

RAIN RETARDS CORNUUSKING
Wheat and Rye Crops in Good Con

Com husking is nuking good progress
throughout the states, although retarded
somewhat by recent rains and the scar
city and high cost of labor, according to
crop reports received by E. A. Logan, ag
ricultural statistician for Missouri. Freez
ing weather is needed to put the crop in
the best of condition, for cribbing. Some
musty corn is reported, but the damage
from damp weather is slight. Harvesting
is still continuing in the southern section
The winter wheat crop is entering the
cold weather in good condition. In the
southern sections seeding still cnotinues.
Damage from Hessian fly has been re
