Ralph Waggener: Smartest cows on earth are right here Columbia's winning advantage in 1950s - : ' farm work ethic and big city ways here in Columbia' writer says. Ralph Waggener writes To John Halsey: The smartest cows on earth are raised in the country on farms, just as young children who learned how to work on the farm are the smartest. Smart children, smart cows. Used cows for sale is only a Adair County product as far as I know. I was raised in Columbia but my neighbor Ralph Willis raised cows on his 1 1/2 acre farm here in the city as did John Lowe, who had more acres just below our house on Jamestown Street and Lindsey Wilson College had a big farm not far behind our house. So, wee had the advantage of farm work ethic and big city ways here in Columbia. Just adding a little info for you, Ralph Roy Waggener as all ways outoforder. - Ralph WaggenerComments From Knifley: Invitation to speak on Used Cows at KU Roundtable 2014-10-19 11:13:40 | Comments | Printable version

Job Descriptions for elected positions requested Charles Marshburn How about showing the job descriptions for the positions the candidates are seeking. Position seems to be a better word than office.

And, time permitting in the approximately 400 hours until the polls open at 6amCT, Tue 4 Nov 2014, we'll try, while trying to do our part to cover this exciting election.

Hope to have the posts available, soon. - EW 2014-10-19 08:30:34 | Comments | Printable version
Tom Chaney: Papal High Jinks Papal High Jinks. Tom says Robert Ludlum is the daddy of the quick paced thriller wherein shadowy forces conspire to do in the status quo. This column first appeared 18 October 2009. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Dan Brown and the screenplay as novel By Tom Chaney Papal High Jinks Robert Ludlum is another of those writers who died long before I was finished wanting to read them. Upon his death at 73 he had finished 29 novels. Twice that number would not have been enough, although he left notes and ideas enough that several ghost writers have kept busy.

JIM: Big news from 1914, the passing of Mr. Simcoe Dockery Next to the Doughboy Monument, embedded in the image of any traveler may be that of a tall stele in Jamestown City Cemetery, beside, up the hill, and to the North of the beautiful Jamestown United Methodist Church. Though a vast number see it in their minds, scarcely any remember and few know the significance of the tall spire, which evokes Jamestown, the Washington Monument, in the nation's capitol, or the Jefferson Davis Monument at Fairview. Jim has researched the matter - refreshing the memory of a man who was a giant of his time, well-deserving the focal point of an incredibly beautiful cemetery. Yesterday, on a brief visit, Linda and I were amazed in the past, we'd only seen the whole image of the grounds. But as we always learn Walking Columbia a quiet reverent stroll instills an irresistable desire to see return. Our thanks to JIM for this re-discovery of the significance of he visual cue no one who appreciates the charm of Jamestown could have missed. Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By JIM Toward the end of June, 1914, the Adair News offered wholesome advice a-plenty both to the village of Jamestown and to Jamestown's most prominent citizen.

Wanda Kerns comments: Jobs are what we need in Columbia Wants new factory which would hire fom Adair County, first Wanda Kerns writes: Another gas station is the last thing we need in Columbia .We need jobs. Why hasn't any of our candidates looked into that? That would get my vote. Sure they promise they will make a change but once elected they forget they ever said that. A nice restaurant would be nice, not a burger joint, though. A factory would be wonderful. and hire from Adair County first; but I have a feeling I'm just blowing hot air.
