Christmas Packages, to Soldiers In
France Must Be Stalled Soon.
Christmas Is nearly three months
off, but all persons are warned It is
high time to be remembering the sol
diers who are in the trenches. Post
offices have received instructions for
mailing Christmas packages to the
"Sammies." The packages addressed
to soldiers in France must be mailed
by November 15 and, it marked
"Christmas Mail," will be delivered to
the soldiers Christmas morning. The
names of the soldier and sender must
both be plainly written, and Christ
mas seals mtfst be omitted.
The department has also requested
that the packages be made as small
as possible; those of less than ten
pounds in weight will be given the
preference. Since the soldiers fre
quently have to leave large boxes be
hind them when on the move, it is
best to send packages weighing not
more than three or four pounds.
According to soldiers who have re
turned from the front, the ideal
boxes contain: Socks, two handker-

supply is, and for this purpose has
chosen ten counties in Missouri,
Boone being one of them. It will be
Mr. Mitchell's work to find out how
much food was produced in this

is, the.estimate for next year and any
other data bearing on present condi

INSPECT HOWARD COUNTY ROAD
State Highway Engineers Go There to
Slake An Inspection.
W. V. Graham, state highway
engineer, and J. Kussell Ellis, an as
sistant, were in Columbia 'last night
on the way to Howard County where
they will inspect the condition of the
Missouri Old Trails Road and make a
recommendation in regard to its im
provement. A section of the road in
Howard County is in bad condition at
the present time and in many places
needs straightening.
I At the annual convention of the Mis
souri Old Trails Association in Colum
bia last Saturday E. L. Sanford, chair
man of the State Highway Commis
sion, promised the delegates from
Howard County that the commission
would condemn property under the
provision of the Hawes Road Bill and
straighten the curves where there
were sharp turns. There are two sec
tions of the Old Trails Road in How
ard County one running from Glas
gow through Fayette to Rocheport and
the other from Boonville through New
Franklin to Rocheport. The highway
engineers will inspect both of these
routes.

three or four packages of cigarettes,

a tin box. Date cake is the best tor

nuts are good. The best candy to
send is peanut brittle, on account of
its keeping qualities.

Victor B. Jones Writes of Columbia
Bojs' Appreciation of Home Paper.
An appreciation of the copies of
the Evening Missourian sent to Co
lumbia men at Fort Funston by H. O.
Severance, librarian of the University,
is contained in a letter received by
him from Victor B. Jones. Mr. Jones
writes: "Next after letters, the boys
enjoy the papers more than anything."
He further adds that he is voicing the
sentiment of the home boys in thank
ing Mr. Severance for the Missourian.
He writes that the last delegation
from here arrived safely Friday night
and are in the Fifty-sixth Company of
the One Hundred and Sixty-fourth
Depot Brigade. All the boys, he
writes, are feeling fine and working
hard.
11 COUNTRIES REPRESENTED
First Meeting of the Cosmopolitan
Club Held Last Night.
Twenty-five members, representing
America, China, Japan, Brazil, Porto
Rico, Philippine Islands, Korea, Rus
sia, Sweden and Central America at
tended a meeting of the Cosmopolitan
Club last night. The officers of the
club were elected at the last meeting
last year, but the treasurer left school
and Miss Katherine Mackay was
elected last night to succeed him.
The question or affiliation with the
Central Organization cf Cosmopolitan
clubs of America was submitted to the
consideration of the club. Mr. Cho
of Korea will be host to the club at a
picnic next Friday afternoon.
Samuel Smith, C2 Years Old, Dies.
Samuel Smith, 62 years old, died
at his home northwest of Columbia
this morning of a complication of
diseases, following a stroke of paraly
sis two years ago. The body was
taken to the Parker undertaking
rooms. Funeral services will be
preached at Locust Grove Church at
11 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Ilnmlllon-ltronn Company Store
Cut Out Middleman's Profit.
A saving from 33 1-3 to 50 per cent
on all groceries will be afforded the
employes of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe
Company by the new company store
which will open within ten days
These are the figures of J. F. Tehan,
assistant: superintendent. Two car
loads of goceries more than $1000
worth have been bought and will be
sold to the emp!oes at cost. The
supplies are purchased in bulk by
company officers at St. Louis.
The employes will bring baskets and
lists of necessaries for the day when
they come to work in the morning.
One of the employes of the plant will
be detailed for an hour or two every
morning to fill these lists and check
them up. A second basket load can
be obtained at noon, if desired.
As the employes spend about one
third of their wages for food, the
company grocery represents a raise in
wages. A man getting $20 a week,
who has been paying $6.50 a week for
food, by having to spend 20 per cent
less is getting virtually $2 a week
more money. The idea is new, says
Mr. Tehan, but the company believes
It will work out.
Mule Display Best Shown
Any Place This Year, Says
Prof. E. A. Trowbridge.
Columbia closed up business today
and went out to the County Fair.
There was a big crowd on the grounds
all day but this afternoon when
practically all its stores and business
houses were closed the people from
the country and town passed through
the gates in a stream. And they were
well repaid. Prof. E. A. Trowbridge,
for instance, said this afternoon that
the exhibits of mules was the best he
had seen anywhere this year. R. L.
Hill, secretary or the fair, also said
that the mule exhibit and the other
exhibits were the best any county fair
had ever had.
Only one race was run today and
that was by an ostrich, a horse owned
by Ed Davis and a motor par from the
Taylor garage. The ostrich won.
AH Interested In Food Exhibits.
There are, some people who pretend
not to be interested in the largest
pumpkin or tho prettiest quilt at the
fair, but one always finds a crowd
gazing at these exhibits. There are
some very- good specimens or Boone
County grown pumpkins and, in fact,
the farm exhibits are especially good
at the County Fair this year: The
corn and grain exhibits attract the
attention of the farmers perhaps
more than the townspeople, but every
one shows more interest in the exhib
its this year than formerly. One rea
son is that our country is facing a
food problem since we entered the
war, and everybody must help to
solve it, the fair officials say.
"I'm going to raise some of that
Boone County white corn myself next
year, and I'll bet it will beat this ex
hibit," one farmer remarked yester
day. Many farmers at th,e fair are
nearu aiscussmg tne Kina or corn.

plant next year in order to.obtain the
largest yield from their land. There
seems to be a seriousness about the
Boone County Fair this year that has
been lacking in previous years.
What Hie Women Llkc
The women, too, are taking more
interest in the exhibits. The jellies,
cakes, bread, canned fruits and veg
etables, home-made lard, home-made
soap, home-cured hams and bacon are
admired by the housewife of Colum
bia as well as her country friend.
Crowds or women gather about the
exhibits in the Floral Hall and ex
change recipes and other household
knowledge. The fair gives them a
splendid opportunity to see one an
other cjnd have a friendly chat.
Then for the women are the needle
work and embroidery exhibits. One

WASHINGTON, Oct 10. Another
scries or sensational telegrams which
passed between the German govern
ment and its embassy in this country
was made public today by Secretary
Lansing. They are remarkable for the
degree of cunning and ingenuity dis
played In the evident purpose to do all
possible Injury to Germany's
European enemies through cutting off
their services In America, while at the
same time avoiding, as far as possible,
incurring the wrath of the American
people by the destruction of life in
this country and Canada.
The telegrams comprising this series
forms a complement to the correspon
dence already disclosed by the State
Department, having absolutely con
vincing evidence of a well calculated
and systematic violation of American
neutrality by Germany during a period
of more than a year proceeding the be
ginning of ruthless submarine warfare
and the breach or relations between
Germany and the United States.
One Suggests Railway Destruction.
The statement ot the StateJDepart
ment says: "The Secretary or State
publishes the following two telegrams
from the German Foreign Office to
Count von Bernstoff in January 1916:
"January 3. Secretary General
Staff desires energetic action in regard
to proposed destruction ot Canadian
Pacific Railway at several points, with
a view to compelling protracted In
terruption ot traffic. Captain Boehm,
who is known on your side and Is
shortly returning, has been given in
structions. Inform the military
attache and provide the necessary
funds.
(Signed) Zimmermann."
Reliable Persons Mentioned.
"January 26, 1916. You can obtain
particulars as to persons suitable for
carrying on sabotage in the United
States and Canada from the following
persons: Joseph McGarrity, Phila
delphia; John P. Keating, Michigan
avenue, Chicago: Jerimiah O'Leary, 16
Park Row, New York. Numbers one
and two are absolutely reliable and
discreet. Three is reliable, but not
always discreet. These persons were
intricated by Sir Casement.
"In the United States sabotage can
be carried out on every kind of factory
from supplying munitions ot war.
Railway embankments and bridges
must not be touched. The embassy
must, under no circumstances, be
suspected. Similar precautions must
be taken in regard to the Irish pro
German representatives. (Signed)
