A thousand new members and a fund of $500 is the goal set by the School Extension Society, which will carry on a membership campaign Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week.

Hudson, chairman of the executive committee, yesterday. "We leave that to the regular charity societies. Our aim is to extend the social and educational advantages of the town. "We are using the high school to this end. The school board is working with us harmoniously, pres ent the gymnasium classes are all that are being conducted, but we have plans for various actiities that are not fully developed yet.

"We hope to start business classes later, such as stenography and bookkeeping. "We are also considering a chorus for adults. Prof. H. V.

Stearns will have charge of this if it is started." About forty men are taking regular part in a gym class for men over high school age in the Columbia High School gymnasium. The gymnasium is not used for any other classes at all. Two gym classes for young women are meeting at Christian College.

Former students of the University are coaching many of the smaller colleges of the state this year, and having good success. Prewitt Roberts, a Tiger under Monilaw, is di recting the William Jewell players. He has turned out a team that has beat Central College of Fayette and also Baker already this year. Dan Nee, a big end and backfield man on the Tigers several years ago, who later played professional baseball, is now coaching Drury, which has a strong team this year. While he was finishing his University work.

Nee coached the freshmen here one year. Tipton, the Westminster coach, has not been out of the University so long as to be forgotten by the older students. He was a remarkable half- miler. Although he never played football here, he followed the sport closely, and picked up much of Roper's methods.

H. Doane Confers With County Of ficials on Appointment D. H. Doane, professor of farm management in the College of Agriculture, has Just returned from where he went to consider the appointment of a county farm adviser for Audrain County. The ap-nnintment nrobably will be made soon.

Only one county In the state now has a farm adviser. C. M. Mew 11-liams holds that office in Cape Girardeau County. Three-fourths of the salary of the county adviser is paid by the county and the rest by the College of Agri culture here.

Professor Doane said that pnnntv officers at Mexico were thusiastic over getting a viser for the county. farm the The Ad Club of the University of Missouri scracely deserves to be classed as a misnomer, but the name needs some explanation more than the title indicates. The Ad Club is an advertising medium rather than the usual association of patrons or promoters of publications carrying advertising. The Ad Club in the University is allied with all the county clubs and other sectional and state clubs of students who wish to work for the Uni-ersity in their home communities. It is much like a magnified rushing committee for a social fraternity.

The purpose of the club members is to get after prospective university or col lege students and see that they go to the University of Missouri and not to some other institution. That is the main purpose of the club, and it fails in its work if the roster of freshmen or new students does not show each year the names of many entirely its own proteges. Wants More Members. The membership of the Ad Club averages about forty-five persons. One members from each of the county clubs is requested to serve in the club and aid in the cooperation of the larger organization with that particular county club.

There are more than a hundred counties in Missouri, and nearly every county, if not all, is represented among the students. But the main trouble of the Ad Club has ever been to create enough interest to get recruits from the disinterested students from counties which have no organization here. Plans now are being considered to select one member from each of the divisions of the University, to further aid the work of the Ad Club. The club was organized here four years ago. One of the first policies of its members was to "noise" the good works of the University around home to all younger students who thought of enrolling in a college or who might at future times become "varsity" material.

So the Ad Club directed in a general way, the plans of the county clubs with reference to getting the frends back home familiar with the University. When Christmas holidays ushered in the homeseekers' season, every member of a county club had his head full of ideas of the best way to rush a prospect and how to land a Often a whole high school would be stormed for an afternoon or evening of fun and entertainment. A program, short play, music or ad dresses, attracted attention and resulted in more students the next fall from that particular community. The members resort to various other means to attain the general end of increased attendance at the University. Work for Mill Tax in 1910.

But it has other work to do. At the time of the big fight for the mill tax amendment in 1910, the Ad Club had a great part of the work to bear, although the campaign was under Dr. William Bek's management. The Ad Club pays the expenses in providing prospective students with some forms of interesting literature and newspapers from the University. It often has a part of the work of other activities here.

This year, the work and campaign for new members has slightly lagged, but now increases apace. Plans are considered for the annual carnival or stunt to re-awaken the old fighting spirit which inaugurated the founding of the organization. The club recently was tendered and accepted membership in the Associated Advertising Clubs of America. In line with Its increased rating, the club now hopes to broaden its scope and increase its value to the University. August Dieter, senior civil engineer of Jasper County, Is president of the club.

The other officers are: vice- president, J. P. Bennett; secretary, A. M. Howard, and treasurer, G.
